Saint_Donovan Posted 26 February, 2012 Share Posted 26 February, 2012 Lambert not injured according to Jaidi on Twitter, and Lallana said his is "nothing to worry about" So great news on both accounts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitzhugh Fella Posted 26 February, 2012 Share Posted 26 February, 2012 Adkins said last night that Lambert rolled an ankle and Adam has done his groin, so I hope the above post is correct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alpine_saint Posted 26 February, 2012 Share Posted 26 February, 2012 Hmm. If Lallana's was completely "nothing to worry about" he wouldnt have been subbed so promptly after going down at 1-0, I think. There must be a minor concern about it, otherwise NA wouldnt have risked the result of the game. As for Rickie's, well I hope the "not injured" is correct. I cannot for the life of me suss out why NA didnt withdraw him after getting his hat-trick, considering he got as bit of a wallop earlier in the game. We still have 13 games, and need to protect our key resources as much as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again NA said Lambert rolled his ankle in the first half but was fine and then towards the end rolled it again and that is why he came off. Relieved that Lallana says it is nothing to worry about but like Alpine said it was strange he got taken off. He had already had lengthy treatment about 5 minutes beforehand, so it was obviously troubling him. It was a shame he went off because we had looked good that first half hour but once Adam was subbed we stopped playing football. Glad no midweek game which means hopefully both men will be fit for Saturday's crunch game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There must be a minor concern about it, otherwise NA wouldnt have risked the result of the game. Maybe Adkins was being proactive rather than reactive. If the state of the playing surface was causing Lallana some problems due to his natural style of play (twists and turns etc, then Adkins may have simply pulled him off to stop the likelihood of a more serious injury. Yes, you can argue that the state of the pitch was known before the game started but sometimes a manager is damned if he does, damned If he doesn't.

St Chalet Posted 26 February, 2012 Share Posted 26 February, 2012 I have joined a few threads together and concluded that. Jaidi mind tricks have healed Lambert who will be assessed by the Saints medical team before joining up with the England training camp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is true testament to AL's ability that he managed to run, perform a Cruyff turn and cross for Lambert's 2nd - whilst both injured and substituted.

beatlesaint Posted 26 February, 2012 Share Posted 26 February, 2012 The VMAN said Lallana's wasn't serious but Leeds could come just that little bit too soon, Adam himself said nothing to worry about so he may miss one game which wouldn't be the end of the world. If Rickie has just rolled his ankle he should be fine for next Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InvictaSaint Posted 26 February, 2012 Share Posted 26 February, 2012 Rickie said in his own interview on Solent that he had taken a few kicks to his ankle but that he was fine. I would take that as as close to gospel as you're going to get. Won't stop some trying desperately to find the cloud attached to the silver lining, of course.....

up and away Posted 26 February, 2012 Share Posted 26 February, 2012 Hmm. If Lallana's was completely "nothing to worry about" he wouldnt have been subbed so promptly after going down at 1-0, I think.

I cannot for the life of me suss out why NA didnt withdraw him after getting his hat-trick, considering he got as bit of a wallop earlier in the game. We still have 13 games, and need to protect our key resources as much as possible. I can't see Lallana returning for at least 3 weeks, he is just too important to rush back and undo any chance of him being fit to play an effective part. As you say, when you break down and can't continue the game, it is not something to wear off and play the next weekend. Even going by the minor scale of damage you are off for 3 weeks. IMHO Lallana will be the difference between the automatics and the play offs. He is the only player we have who takes us up that level when he is on form. I've seen Ricky in the best shape ever at Saints since suspension and he does not have that ability to change the way we play as Lallana does. We do have a lot of good players at Saints and we can perform without Lallana. Looking at the fixtures, I would take a fit and on form Lallana back for Blackpool away (end March) and trust the squad for that intervening period with those games. As for the decision to keep Ricky on the pitch, someone needs to be spoken with here. You've just had your star player player come off with a groin related injury, not the quickest of turn arounds as injuries go. Then Ricky badly rolls his ankle and you have the prospect of the other star attacker of the team going in the same direction as Lallana. We have all rolled our ankles and it's common knowledge that the ankle is substantially weaker and a repeat is more than on the cards. Once we got to 3-0 up, Ricky should have been subbed because the biggest damage would be if he rolled his ankle badly again. He was certainly in a lot of pain the second time and we can only hope there is no long term effects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comments from yesterday were that Puncheon not particularly comfortable on the left,and I'm not sure I'd risk Guly there for an away game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We stand on the cusp of a fantastic double-promotion; some people can all cocky, presumptuous and dismissive if they want, but I think you will find most normal human beings are bound to be a little anxious that nothing comes along and derails to expected conclusion.

The Kraken Posted 26 February, 2012 Share Posted 26 February, 2012 I can't see Lallana returning for at least 3 weeks Adam Lallana seems to disagree with you.

Comments from yesterday were that Puncheon not particularly comfortable on the left,and I'm not sure I'd risk Guly there for an away game. Well one game doesnt make Puncheon a disaster on the left. You could also play the boy from Spurs, Falque, or De Ridder, or go with a diamond and have the full backs make up the attacking width. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Charlie Posted 26 February, 2012 Share Posted 26 February, 2012 Puncheon would be fine there vs Leeds, yesterday wasn't a ball on the deck kind of game. Earlier in the season when AL was out Chaplow played well from the left and got a few goals so Guly or Puncheon or de Ridder could play right and Chaplow left. So even if AL did miss Leeds we have options....and the man himself doesnt seem concerned by his injury... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Clarke Posted 26 February, 2012 Share Posted 26 February, 2012 People are forgetting that Puncheon is naturally a left footed, left sided winger. So he's the perfect shoe in replacement. No concerns at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkish Posted 26 February, 2012 Share Posted 26 February, 2012 People are forgetting that Puncheon is naturally a left footed, left sided winger. So he's the perfect shoe in replacement.

We need a week of panic and worry about Lallana and blame Adkins who as an ex physio obviously has no idea when to take players off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No concerns at all. Sorted. If so, and if there is any doubt over whether AL is fully recovered then I suspect NA will rest him (ahead of the more winnable home fixtures) rather than risk aggravating the problem at Leeds.

Why all this calm reasoning, when the whole site can panic and burst into flames at the merest ankle tap ...more stress, more stress. stress is good for you !
