Yes, Holmes, always worth a mention on thread concerning injuries.

Agree.

Coys

He was at Bournemouth, not sure about the skates.

Whilst Poyet may be a c^nt, I can't disagree with him on that point.The likes of Ferdinand and Terry regularly expect to be on 'the panel' with a referee and linesman when an issue is debated, and seem to get away without critiscism.

Slight aside from the main topic, but do the family attend all home matches then ?

Yes, Guthrie was a good signing to be fair. Hammill whilst he was with us appeared unmanagable, not sure if that was GB's fault or not. My reference to GB though was his tendency to stockpile average midfield players.

The Burley school of management.

Big Ron John Mortimore as coach of Saints,and Pompey manager.

Bierhoff, Jan Koller or Carsten Jancker perhaps ?

To add to the rumour NA was at Coventry last night for their match. But before we read too much into that, worth remembering he was also watching Charlie Austin's last match for Swindon before he left them.... not to join us. What odds an 11.23PM announcement ?

Is this the official LCDAJFU thread ? (loanee) or perhaps even a LWAVTPCDAJFU (loanee with a view to permanent)? Of our rivals, I expect West Ham and Leicester will be recruiting.

Yes, not an outstanding save in my book, just a tame header. And lets try and forget Jaidi's chance.

My worry also - if he has one good game this season, you just know it don't you ?

Two to start the match, one on the bench. As Guly and Steeeeeve may also be required for wide MF roles, I don't think we have the surplus some imagine. An injury to RL leaves us a bit exposed. Whether we make a signing now or in Jan is a different debate.

a turning point in our season

He probably adds very little, IF they all remain fit,injury free, and for whatever other reason available to us for selection. Although Steeeeeeeve has not played as a main striker for us yet.

Well if we are looking for a back up to Rickie, then being able to take a penalty when needed is no bad thing.

That thread does have a feeling of deja vu to it. Thank Christ,the unholy trinity told SISU and Ken Dullard to 'foxtrot oscar' a few years ago.

Interesting stats/analysis by David, although LJ's record of 7goals 18 games for a struggling side is impessive, I'm not sure a direct comparison can be made: Guly - has spent much of the season wide mf not out and out striker Lallana - ditto Connolly - yes, I accept he is only good in short bursts Maynard - similar to LJ but proven over longer (although not necessarily thr back up for Rickie) Rodriguez - nothing to add, but long term possibly a better prospect ? Sharp - 4 goals but missed a few weeks due to injury. Think we might do better inthe Jan window, but will wait and see what Adkins brings in,and trust his judgement.

on the bus in the building ( although that is now 'last seasons' cliche)

Where does the radio station operate from, and how good is the catering ?

Thanks that's an interesting read. Not sure I accept Forecast, now aged 25, is gaining valuable experience at that level, that will benefit him or us for the future though.

Actually it is a shame we don't have the original as it would be a good feature if/when we have a Saints museum. Or perhaps the club could hire it out for parties.

Thanks for that link, notice he does not display the TB Statue on his website. I raised a question on another thread about where Brennan lived and the website confirms : Pure coincidence the finished product appeared as a sculpture by a special needs art class ?
