We dont seem to be able to string many passes together

Yes I agree all four were fantastic players

We really had some great players over the years

He chose this game because of the sheer talent on the pitch, he was humbled almost to be on the same stage as these greats.. He scored the winner in that one I think. He never did get a look in when Ray Wilson played against him I still think he was the best all round footballer to play for Southampton in the last fifty years. He could score goals make goals and play on the wing or in central midfield

He is probably the best player to play up front in the formation employed by Capello he is strong in the air puts himself about is quick and tracks back. But he is of course not the best out and out striker

Jimmy Greaves had been injured in the tournament and Hunt took his place and played well so Alf did not want to change a winning team. But Alf did use his best players letting Alan Ball into the team and leaving out any wingers.

Because he maybe loaned out to a Championship Club after Christmas?

Thank you

Not saying his contract should be renewed but he has had a decent career in football in the lower divisions where we are at the moment.

Do you think we are conceeding too many goals anyway? We dont have too many clean sheets or is that the norm in League 1

Not sure what would happen if Lambert was injured but I agree with what you are saying.

That is surely why we need another proper striker on the pitch most of the time. Lallanna for all his skills has missed fair number of chances over the past two seasons

So nobody knows is that right?

It is quite possible to a run of poor games like Bristol Rovers . It could happen to us but probably very unlikely but the poster's concerns are still valid . It was very unlikely that in 1975 that we would win the cup in the following May but it did happen.

I do congratulate you for your optimism But we are still in the relegation zone in League 1 so it is not surprising that a few people want to make cetain that things do get better and stay better. With a little luck and no injuries it is possible for SFC to get to the play offs but it is still not certain. If we had not had the points deduction things would be great.

I thought Melia was excellent helped us get to Div 1 He was a little slow and bald which did not help

I agree and a CB if Trottman does not stay

Sorry my mistake thought you were referring to Lancashire. Never understood why we signed Pulis as you say he can go

He is still young an U19 International he may well develop into a decent defender like Mills and Cranie

Wotton does a job for us is not a talented footballer played 394 times for Plymouth and scored 54 goals which seems a reasonable record to me

Thank you I remembered the game OK as I was at the Archers Road end where Huxford was in goal. I meant the Paine Penalty incident mentioned in an earlier post

Not sure that is true as we dominated Leyton Orient but failed to score more goals

Assumming we will be in the Championship soon does Antonio have the skills to perform well there

Yes and then who will be the weakest link? That is my point Although what you are saying about Wotton is probably correct

I am sorry but I dont think you understood my post
