washsaint Posted 19 March, 2014 Share Posted 19 March, 2014 very impressive.....fulham are top of the table. Lots of competition for places at most levels can only be a good thing for the future of Saints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disconnect Posted 19 March, 2014 Share Posted 19 March, 2014 Am I right in thinking that a few of the Fulham youngsters have also recently been getting some first team game time? Young centre back Burn and striker Woodrow(?) have looked pretty good in recent weeks. I'm guessing those guys arent playing today though. Surprised we've put Gallagher in the team with him now fairly firmly in our first team plans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game is Sunday so plenty of time for him and Chambers to recover, both likely to be on the bench anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Le God Posted 19 March, 2014 Share Posted 19 March, 2014 Surprised we've put Gallagher in the team with him now fairly firmly in our first team plans. He has continued to play for the under 21's throughout his time wight he first team. Take Saturday for example, if Gallagher only played for the first team he'd only have had 5 minutes of game time in a week, which isn't good for his development when he could also play for the under 21's as he did last Friday and today. No harm with him playing for the under 21's and then appearing on the first team bench and that is what they've been doing with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disconnect Posted 19 March, 2014 Share Posted 19 March, 2014 The game is Sunday so plenty of time for him and Chambers to recover, both likely to be on the bench anyway More that we're so short upfront that we'd risk an injury rather than him being tired. I know he'd only be likely to be on the bench, but imagine if Lambert or J-Rod got injured in training this week... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously needs game time, just fingers crossed everyone stays fit, and he can come off the bench and grab another goal or two (or five) by the end of the season! 3-0 final score?

Gallagher played for the under 21's on 14th March, and then was on the bench for the first team vs Norwich on 15th March. It isn't the first time we've done similar, he won't play 90 minutes often for the first team and still needs game time in his development. If Lambert or Rodriguez were to be injured we have more options than just Gallagher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Lambert or Rodriguez were to be injured we have more options than just Gallagher. Guly, and? If Lambert or Rodriguez was injured between now and Sunday the front four in the 4-2-3-1 system could be made up of a mix of... Lallana Ramirez Rodriguez/Lambert (whichever wasn't the injured player) Gallagher Ward-Prowse S.Davis Guly Do Prado In any case Gallagher isn't going to be tired playing today and then on Sunday.

Tokyo-Saint Posted 19 March, 2014 Share Posted 19 March, 2014 None of them are really forwards though are they mlg? I mean they play in attack obviously but you wouldn't want Gulym Davis or Lallana leading the line would you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Le God Posted 19 March, 2014 Share Posted 19 March, 2014 (edited) Upon first glance that's a stronger than normal Saints side vs a weakened Fulham team. Saints will want to finish in the top four in order to prolong their season by getting into the end of season playoffs. Saints now only have 3 games left to make it, so may need to put out strong sides to get the points they need... http://www.premierleague.com/en-gb/matchday/barclays-u21-premier-league-tables.html?paramYouthStage=NATIONAL Edited 19 March, 2014 by Matthew Le God Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In which case the one of Lambert/Rodriguez that wasn't injured would start upfront, plus we'd have Gallagher still on the bench. The rest of the squad shuffles round the other attacking midfield spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trousers Posted 19 March, 2014 Author Share Posted 19 March, 2014 Perhaps interesting that we played Gallagher, Seager and McQueen in the same starting 11? I'd always assumed they played in the same position (i.e. centre forward) There again, playing forwards in traditional fixed positions isn't really 'The Southampton Way' so maybe not so much of a surprise (either that or I've no idea what the trio's best positions are!)

Last time I checked Yorkshire was still part of England (even though they like to think otherwise). Unless the Ruskies have been land-grabbing again. Gazza and Cropper are not English.

The U21's have been using a fluid formation in the final third all season. Sometimes they even play a DM as an AM. McQueen is usually a winger but he has the frame and presence to play centre-forward so he has been getting games there. Seager is usually a centre-forward but has been playing more often as a winger for the U21's. It's all a part of their development I would imagine although always interesting to see what position players settle on in senior football.
