they miss another good chance...

just wide - sounds like it was a good save again from kelvin. time to inject some directness and pace into the side i think, as we're not threatening them at all.

could have been a pen for millwall....lucky.

doesn't sound like holmes has taken his chance

morgan just doesn't ever want to shoot...!

Wotton on - hammond off.

well played kelvin - magic save.

looks like a bad injury to hammond, he's gone down - play stopped.

sounded like a decentish start by us, we've had the first ''chance''

yep

play-off places without the -10 isn't so disappointing.

booo, i know more than AP

he starts deal is off IMO, would have happened by now if it was going to. something must have happened in the week (maybe Nicola looked at the current wage bill!), as the Danns/Stock and Ward ''imminent'' deals just didn't happen.

i'd hate to be compared to liverpool, they're dross.

who are they missing?

without gerrard/torres - they are on par with the fulhams/sunderlands of the league. Rafa has filled that squad with so much average **** it's untrue.

Charlton away, Carlisle away..

James has played right wing before this season and has done pretty well, davis played in the last game against Luton Rickie and Lallana have played together this season before and have actually done quite well.

according to you we have been ''very, very poor'' in the last few games, so of all people, i'd expect you to be applauding the changes.

Not really, Connolly is 50/50 and not fully fit and Waigo is still not 100% convincing from the start, away from home. They have it wrong for a change. Also it's worth remembering that james had his best game for us away at Wallsall, where we played a similar formation and james played on the right side.

i'm quite excited by holmes starting, we will a natural left sided wide player for once. quite worried about the 3 defensive changes though - i'd have only done 2 max. but hey - pard's is the manager, he knows what goes on more than any of us.

apparently he's had a great week, no niggles, no knocks and has really impressed pardew.

confirmed....

Southampton: Davis, Otsemobor, Fonte, Seaborne, Harding, James, Hammond, Schneiderlin, Holmes, Lallana, Lambert. Subs: Bialkowski, Thomas, Perry, Wotton, Antonio, N'Diaye, Connolly.
