Still a month of the transfer window left for Saints to sign a striker, lots of indicators that is a position they are looking to invest in heavily. Its not like we desperately need one for the opening game, would you not be happy with Lambert playing vs West Brom?
Not sure why I bother asking as I'm expecting another WUM response.
Did he? The season before he joined Saints he scored 29 league goals for a team that came 11th in League 1. The next season under Pardew he scored 30 goals for a team that finished 7th in League 1 (5th in terms of points earnt).
He didn't. The 3 North East friendlies was solely under 21's players and the Eastleigh game had Forte, Sharp, Tadanari Lee, De Ridder, Martin, Barnard but not Hammond.

Glasgow_Saint, are you the missing source?
Of course they could feasibly play 45 minutes tonight, but in modern sport it would be highly unusual for a sportsman to go from starting full training after a break to playing in a match within days.
Why? They have only been in full training for a couple of days after extended breaks.
The rest of the squad have had 4 weeks of training and tactical work in build up to this game.
Why do you think that?
The subs will probably be the second half team...
Gazzaniga
Lovren
Turnbull
Stephens
Shaw
Wanyama
S. Davis
Puncheon
Isgrove
Lambert
Mayuka
Like Pochettino has done in the 3 previous games, he's mixed up the combinations.
