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.

...

It'll be a 4-5-1 IMO. ----------Davis Jonny--Fonte--Perry--Harding -----------James -----Morgan-Hammond Antonio ------------- Lallana ---------Lambert Subs - Bart, Seaborne, Wotton, Connolly, Patto, Papa, Gobern

No offence flyer, but from a neutral's perspective, the way you're club is being run is nothing short of shambolic. You can say he resigned, which he did, but why? there is obviously something not quite right at the club to make him resign. He may not have been any cop - but surely it makes you worried that he was appointed in the first place? I see you're now saying Harford will be the new manager..only untill the summer though. So in the summer, how many managers will that make it in the last 2 years? At the moment, QPR sums up all that is wrong with football in this day and age im afraid.

He proved last season that he's a quality player, he was doncasters player of the season and was linked to a hole host of clubs (inc. premiership clubs/recently relegated clubs etc). I've seen him a play a few times and he is class, way too good for L1 - i just hope we pull it off.
