How does being the victim of a challenge make you "injury prone"?

Maynard, Rodriguez and Sharp have all been playing for teams that have been struggling and not creating many chances for their strikers. If any of them do sign they wouldn't be "back ups", they'd be joining to partner Lambert in most games.

It has already happened... http://www.doncasterroversfc.co.uk/page/News/0,,10329~2500273,00.html

That is a daft logic/philosophy to blindly stick to. So if Saints luckily scraped a win against Doncaster without Adam Lallana and then were up against West Ham and Lallana was fit again, you wouldn't put him in the side?

Correct, well done Steve and well done Alan Ball! Surprisingly recent isn't it!?

Nope, more recent than that. Nope

Arsenal, Chelsea, Man City, Aston Villa and Everton in the same season? Have a guess and don't cheat by using google to look it up. Correct answer wins a gold star.

It can't have been a surprise for them. It was clear it was going to be a weakened side beforehand, as was Crystal Palace's.

You could say his goals turning around the MK Dons game justified his fee alone!

Palace have made a host of changes as well, so why not apply that to them?

2011/12 Southampton in the Championship are currently averaging more than these clubs did last season in their respective top flights... Juventus Palermo Fiorentina Genoa Udinese Parma Bordeaux Auxerre Villarreal Deportivo de La Coruña Real Zaragoza And many others... Saints Premier League attendances of 30k+ averages at St Mary's would put them 3rd/4th in France, 5th in Italy and 7th in Spain.

Portsmouth 0 vs Brighton 1 - 13th August 2011

I doubt that will happen, Davis has been on the bench in past games when Bialkowski plays. Plus Fox is cup tied.

What makes you think that? Saints put out "weakened" sides in the previous rounds and they progressed. What makes you think Palace will put out their strongest possible side?

Most of you have a lot of changes to make to your predicted line-ups. Adkins confirms that... Ward-Prose Reeves Martin De Ridder Bialkowski ...will all start. I reckon Luke Shaw will be on the bench again as well.

Adkins confirms in the interview on Saints Player that Ward-Prowse will start, as will Reeves, Bialkowski, De Ridder and Martin.

Not a bug at all. Southampton in real life aren't in a reserve league, if you want them to have friendly fixtures during the season you have to arrange them yourself or get your assistant to arrange them. You will have the option to rejoin the reserve league with Saints in the summer of 2012.
