Saints vs Wolves

Hope no injury to Rickie and Morgan.

 

Have to say that both the lineup and the subs have a very Championship look about them.

 

What a weird statement. What do you expect, us to go and sign tonnes of Premier League players and replace our whole team with them? Of course it's going to look 'Championship', considering most of them have just finished playing a season in the Championship.

From the OS

 

Nigel Adkins names another forward thinking side, with Guly, Jason Puncheon and Billy Sharp starting in attack.

There are nine substitutions to call on for the hosts as Rickie Lambert, Morgan Schneiderlin and Luke Shaw not risked due to slight knocks.

Let's just say our line up is certainly no better than Wolves.

Sharp is looking like first choice striker. Could SRL have to fight for his place?

 

Lambert much like Le Tissier doesn't seem to do pre-season well. I'm pretty sure he will be fine come the start of the season. Obviously didn't play today due to a knock. I think he'll do well this season and surprise a few. Good to see Sharp is having a decent pre-season so far. I think he is going to have a good season too.

Just back from the game. We did okay.

First 15 minutes we let Wolves have a lot of possession up until the final 3rd. We then picked it up a bit. Lallana seemed to be playing either central or in a free role but was nowhere near as effective.

Puncheon had a great game. If he can be consistent he will be a real asset.

Jack Stephens played centre back and didn't have the greatest game.

We did give Wolves 3 very good chances which will be punished in the prem.

We do seem to lack ideas without Lambert still.

Gazza made one good save and seems confidant with the ball at his feet.

De Ridder was shocking when he came on.

Also back from the game. Plus points were Clyne, who played really well, Puncheon, Sharp and Fox.

Stephens didn't look at all confident and made a few silly mistakes. Gazza looked good but didn't really have that much to do. It looked like we were working on the 5 in midfield stifling the opposition when we lost possession but supporting Sharp quickly on the forward breaks. We kept possession of the ball well for long periods. Steven Davis looked good for the short time he was on.

Wolves were either poor or made to look poor. Not bad without SRL, Morgan and Corky.
