Ashley Grute Posted 22 January, 2012 Posted 22 January, 2012 And Lallana and Fonte are injured, when was the last time we won without Lambert, Lallana and Fonte playIng?
Saint Charlie Posted 22 January, 2012 Posted 22 January, 2012 Hope they are all available for Cardiff...
kpturner Posted 22 January, 2012 Posted 22 January, 2012 (edited) It is not a rumour that Fonte is injured, so where did you hear "rumour" about Lallana? EDIT: Oh, THEVMAN As it happens, I think we won a game or two before we signed Lambert and Fonte and while Lallana was still in the ressies. Under Pearson maybe? Edited 22 January, 2012 by kpturner
Ashley Grute Posted 22 January, 2012 Author Posted 22 January, 2012 I know we did, just wondered if anyone could confirm the last time?!
Ashley Grute Posted 22 January, 2012 Author Posted 22 January, 2012 kp turner, in answer to your question it is on the Leicester build up thread that Lallana has done his groin.
kpturner Posted 22 January, 2012 Posted 22 January, 2012 kp turner, in answer to your question it is on the Leicester build up thread that Lallana has done his groin.Yeah - you missed my edit I think.
BrokenGusBus Posted 22 January, 2012 Posted 22 January, 2012 Real shame about Lallana, was just getting back to his old self
ART Posted 22 January, 2012 Posted 22 January, 2012 Well at very least we have our new loan signing Iago from Spurs and word has it he will be in the line up. Let's be positive rather than start this Year of the Dragon with negativity. After all in 1976 Year of the Dragon we overcame adversity and won the FA CUP
Ashley Grute Posted 22 January, 2012 Author Posted 22 January, 2012 I wasn't being negative, just genuinely wanted to know the game we last won without the 3 of them!
Saint dyer Posted 22 January, 2012 Posted 22 January, 2012 Anyone know how bad his groin injury is yet?
sotonist Posted 22 January, 2012 Posted 22 January, 2012 And Lallana and Fonte are injured, when was the last time we won without Lambert, Lallana and Fonte playIng? The same time as if the rumour isn't true.
jamesfp1 Posted 22 January, 2012 Posted 22 January, 2012 Wouldn't call it rumour if its come from THEVMAN
sandwichsaint Posted 22 January, 2012 Posted 22 January, 2012 Wouldn't call it rumour if its come from THEVMAN Yep the V man, the man that consistently gives our oppo the heads up on who will and who won't be playing. Time he was banned from here?
SuperSAINT Posted 22 January, 2012 Posted 22 January, 2012 Lallana being out is a massive blow... With that said, it gives Falque the perfect opportunity.
St Chalet Posted 22 January, 2012 Posted 22 January, 2012 Yep the V man, the man that consistently gives our oppo the heads up on who will and who won't be playing. Time he was banned from here? It's an interesting notion, but ultimately it is down to the club and the players to keep it in house better if they value secrecy. It would be odd to ban someone for posting information that people log on here to find out. Many moons ago I recall Keith Legg deleting posts and threating bans to people for naming a mystery trialist in case another team snuck in and purchased him.
LGTL Posted 22 January, 2012 Posted 22 January, 2012 Yep the V man, the man that consistently gives our oppo the heads up on who will and who won't be playing. Time he was banned from here? Yeah you are so right, I'd much rather listen to the other hundreds of "ITK's" who don't have a clue, and instead ban the only poster who actually does! Behave. If it was that top secret, I'm pretty certain he wouldn't have been privy to the information in the first place.
John Boy Saint Posted 23 January, 2012 Posted 23 January, 2012 It's all a cunning plan to winkle out the Rats. Or another cunning plan to get the oppo's hopes up.
hypochondriac Posted 23 January, 2012 Posted 23 January, 2012 Yep the V man, the man that consistently gives our oppo the heads up on who will and who won't be playing. Time he was banned from here? Time you were banned really if that's your attitude. To suggest that his info gives the opposition an advantage is extremely ludicrous.
S-Clarke Posted 23 January, 2012 Posted 23 January, 2012 Yep the V man, the man that consistently gives our oppo the heads up on who will and who won't be playing. Time he was banned from here? lol.

(I mean why didn't we tell Hitler our Normandy invasion plans from the beginning?). I mean ...Why bother keeping the team selection secret... when you can tell the world in advance. Might it have something to do with tactics? If you think it really doesn't matter if they know our team in advance - why not twitter to Nigel Pearson now, then you can be sure everyone knows ! I'm sure he has plans to try and neutralise the Lallana threat..now he won't have to bother . GREAT POST ! (I don't think) maybe Keith Legg had the right idea!

Window Cleaner Posted 23 January, 2012 Posted 23 January, 2012 Anyway it's ridiculous to believe that opposing teams don't know who's fit and who isn't at Saints a couple of days before matches.
david in sweden Posted 23 January, 2012 Posted 23 January, 2012 Anyway it's ridiculous to believe that opposing teams don't know who's fit and who isn't at Saints a couple of days before matches. Quite obviously ..if it's a long-term injury, but those "training injuries " are usually kept quiet until kick-off time - aren't they? Was it known in advance who was going to play in goal in that fateful Blackpool game ?.....or was everyone as surprised as me to see Bart appear instead of KD?

Think we'd had the heads up on that actually,that's not the point,it's not about any forumist or journalist knowing it's about the opposition who no doubt have ways and means of finding out whatever they want to know if they actually want to that is. Like tonights match, do you think that we don't know already who got on to Leicester's team bus this morning or yesterday?

Like tonights match, do you think that we don't know already who got on to Leicester's team bus this morning or yesterday?[/quote] Of course - if we had anyone who could identify the 16 players who got on the Leicester bus it might help us plan, but I do think that going on-line with info. that our best player is injured and likely to be out isn't really in the same category - is it ? Maybe Nigel Pearson won't get to hear about it in advance of the fans before kick-off..maybe.but it will make his selection a bit easier if indeed he knows that he doesn't have to worry about Lallana's presence in the game. Most managers look at videos of the opposition in preparation, and who wouldn't if they were playing a team at the top..? ..I don't think publishing this information (if correct) is so harmless as some might think. It's vital to player selection, and playing strategy.
derry Posted 23 January, 2012 Posted 23 January, 2012 Works both ways, plans for Lallana or who is going to play on the left? and now don't know formation, so planning difficult.
Window Cleaner Posted 23 January, 2012 Posted 23 January, 2012 I still have a little suspicion that AL will be on the team sheet this evening. No offence VMAN.
Andy Durman Posted 23 January, 2012 Posted 23 January, 2012 Not sure if Fonte would have started anyway. Aaron Martin would have been playing tonight on merit. & Martin is getting better every appearance.
Andy Durman Posted 23 January, 2012 Posted 23 January, 2012 Funny as well how a few weeks ago people were saying that we should drop Lallana.
