T.REX Posted 7 January, 2012 Posted 7 January, 2012 Hmmm interesting. Cork at right back maybe? Otherwise we seem to have two left backs and four centre mids. Funny old bench.
Window Cleaner Posted 7 January, 2012 Posted 7 January, 2012 jordansibley: Saints Vs Coventry: Bialkowski. Harding, Martin, Hooiveld, Fox. Hammond, Cork, Schneiderlin, Ward-Prowse. Lallana, Doble #saintsfc Harding at right back, that's a newwy then.Good to see our 3CMs all starting and JWP as well, I like that format, gives guaranteed supremacy in the middle of the park, perhaps JWP will be the furthest forward this time.So much for Butterfield and Holmes, either they're injured or it's curtains for them at SFC.
Saint Charlie Posted 7 January, 2012 Posted 7 January, 2012 Wonder if Butterfield is that out of favour or just injured. Sensible to rest Connolly.
Window Cleaner Posted 7 January, 2012 Posted 7 January, 2012 Wonder who's playing RB. Harding of course, done it before.

Harding had a spell at RB under Pards and I think he even played there at Wembley, and was bloody brilliant. Bear in mind, I'm no fan of DH.
THEVMAN Posted 7 January, 2012 Posted 7 January, 2012 I think Harding has played right back for us once before
Colinjb Posted 7 January, 2012 Posted 7 January, 2012 Harding of course, done it before. Did a great job at the JPT final.
saints-cris Posted 7 January, 2012 Posted 7 January, 2012 What has happened to Butterfield? Always good to see how some of the youngsters will fare. Lallana up top will be good to see too.
Window Cleaner Posted 7 January, 2012 Posted 7 January, 2012 With the team we've got out today I get the impression that we ain't there to make up the numbers. Looking forward to the AL-RD combination, should be dynamic .
Mattio Posted 7 January, 2012 Posted 7 January, 2012 Happy with that team, suprised that Connolly isn't on the bench though
S-Clarke Posted 7 January, 2012 Posted 7 January, 2012 Not a bad team really, quite like the position W-P seems to be playing in.
Saint Charlie Posted 7 January, 2012 Posted 7 January, 2012 Happy with that team, suprised that Connolly isn't on the bench though Can't risk any injury to Connolly with Lambert suspended for 2 league games.
Window Cleaner Posted 7 January, 2012 Posted 7 January, 2012 Happy with that team, suprised that Connolly isn't on the bench though Probably nazz again,no reason for him to be missing otherwise,if you take Richardson as rested the only other players missing are the wounded and suspended.
Saint Charlie Posted 7 January, 2012 Posted 7 January, 2012 No Jutkiewicz for Coventry but Cranie starts.
shurlock Posted 7 January, 2012 Posted 7 January, 2012 Hope Ward-Prowse has a better game than Palace - he really wasn't all that there. Cant see us creating much or keeping possession in the final third with that team. Defensively, we should be OK though. Has draw written all over it.
S-Clarke Posted 7 January, 2012 Posted 7 January, 2012 Cov team: Coventry City: Dunn, Keogh ©, Cranie, Wood, Christie, Baker, Thomas, Bigirimana, Deegan, McSheffrey, O'Donovan Subs: Murphy (GK), McPake, Hussey, Jeffers, Ruffels, Clarke
Matthew Le God Posted 7 January, 2012 Posted 7 January, 2012 No Ricky then.......? : @ He is suspended for 3 games after being sent off against Brighton.
forever a red and white Posted 7 January, 2012 Posted 7 January, 2012 Surely Holmes must get some minutes today? They seem to have a strong team out at least.
bpsaint Posted 7 January, 2012 Posted 7 January, 2012 Stronger team than I was expecting from us,odd there's no Connolly as it would have been a perfect chance to gain some sharpness.
S-Clarke Posted 7 January, 2012 Posted 7 January, 2012 Stronger team than I was expecting from us,odd there's no Connolly as it would have been a perfect chance to gain some sharpness. Must have another knock, which wouldn't surprise me. Always seems to go like this with him, gets a spell of games, gets an injury....and then for the rest of the season he's just stop start.

Cant see us creating much or keeping possession in the final third with that team. Defensively, we should be OK though. Has draw written all over it. I thought it was said that he had a decent game at the time, probably just one of the rosy specced brigade being kind to the lad then.
Legod Third Coming Posted 7 January, 2012 Posted 7 January, 2012 I thought it was said that he had a decent game at the time, probably just one of the rosy specced brigade being kind to the lad then. He was alright, no great shakes but good enough. Reeves was better but then tired but they are both kids... Also, to those who say Reeves is just a converted left back. Two words. Kevin Phillips. Three if you want to add the 'S'...
saintscottofthenortham Posted 7 January, 2012 Posted 7 January, 2012 I thought it was said that he had a decent game at the time, probably just one of the rosy specced brigade being kind to the lad then. I heard from numerous sources that the kid done well.
VectisSaint Posted 7 January, 2012 Posted 7 January, 2012 Stronger team than I was expecting from us,odd there's no Connolly as it would have been a perfect chance to gain some sharpness. I would have been surprised if we had risked him today with no other fit/available experienced strikers for next week. No point risking him when he is only just back to fitness.

Butterfield was linked with transfer away before the season started (can't recall who to), don't think he injured just surplus to requirements and getting off the bus soon.

No point risking him when he is only just back to fitness. Doubt if he'll play next week, if he was fit and available for selection he'd be on the 7 man bench, he isn't so it's just as likely that he has strained some minor muscle or ligament or other.Perhaps his performance at Brighton wasn't good enough.
dubai_phil Posted 7 January, 2012 Posted 7 January, 2012 Dilemna time Obviously it's Saints and will be listening on Saints Player But home town got their big day out up the M1 today so good luck to the lads who've gone up there from Salisbury, quite a few Saints regulars I know of are having a massive day already

We'll see next week, but I would have been very surprised for him to be risked today.
shurlock Posted 7 January, 2012 Posted 7 January, 2012 I thought it was said that he had a decent game at the time, probably just one of the rosy specced brigade being kind to the lad then. He was OK -but IMO there heavy tint of rose on others glasses. Kept possession well enough but most of the passing went sideways and backwards and rarely ventured beyond the halfway line.
Colinjb Posted 7 January, 2012 Posted 7 January, 2012 To the lads singing. "Taaaaadanari ate my dog..... " in the Ricoh concourse. Grow up.
mirrorcarp Posted 7 January, 2012 Posted 7 January, 2012 He is suspended for 3 games after being sent off against Brighton. Is it true that if we draw today lambert misses the replay and not a league game.
