Did you not go to/read about/or listen to the game yesterday? Hammond is injured.

A transfer embargo means no player transfer/loan/free can be registered. Defeats the point of an embargo if you let some through.

Same can be said of this or any football clubs messageboard.

He was on the bench.

Only against Swindon, not necessarily against Huddersfield or Colchester.

Pardew was very impressed with him after the game.

Win 14, Draw 5, Lose 2. That could see Saint in the playoffs on 76 points. Very hard to do though.

Stock could do a Kenwyne Jones by going on strike and force Doncaster's hand!

How can you tell unless you are sat in line with the last defender each time at both end of St Mary's?

You have missed the point. Pardew should only be judged by the points total with the 10 points added back. To do otherwise isn't fair as it distorts the league and whatever Pardew does. Thus Pardew has "earnt" 7th spot this season in terms of points so far.

Millions spent and 15 points off the bottom 4 you mean really.

Will be this next... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhRUe-gz690

A squad player that started 19 out of 25 league games this season?

Have these 3 defenders conceded yet? It is Saints as an attacking force that has been lacking.

More likely your PC/connection as I've never had a problem.

Exeter are beating Leeds!

The Millwall commentators are impressed with the back four of Saints so far.

Listening to the opposition local radio is always more interesting.

Pardew in a reality not distorted by points deductions has achieved 6th place after 24 games.

Yes, he starts for Doncaster today.

Could well be... Davis Otsemobor Fonte Seaborne Harding James Hammond Schneiderlin Lallana Holmes Lambert

News of Jaidi's injury was confirm on Weds by Pardew. The Echo ran a story of defensive choice between the new centre backs and Jaidi/Perry on Friday. The Echo had plenty of time, they were just lazy.

...and he won't give away much.

Saga has been along way from a starting spot as a striker for some time. Lambert Connolly Papa Waigo Lallana Paterson Were all ahead of him in the pecking order. Doesn't mean Pardew won't buy another striker though, with all of Connolly's injury problems he probably has to.

Who did the Millwall preview and put Jaidi in the team? It has been known for a few days now that he was injured. Pardew said so in an interview and was also on the website. I think that counts as lazy journalism. The ban didn't stop this from being known at the Echo as it has been known for days on the Saints OS and Saints player.
