Saint Fan CaM

Solent saying its a 4-4-2 for Saints, so Lallana is playing as striker to Lambert.

Lambert misses just - goal kick

Lallana taken out - looks injured apparently.

Thanks - that's looking like a very strong teamsheet TBF!

Didn't hear the full teamsheet - can someone post it up pls?

Round pegs in round holes now (according to Merrington? (-

LOL - Holmes starting. Interesting indeed - there's at least three players playing for a place in AP's future plans I would suggest. Could be a good move for the team. It will probs be 1-1 tho'.

Can see this being 1-1.

Jeez - I don't think it will ever cease to amaze me at what a total shambles that managerial appointment record that is! No wonder we plummeted.

Jackson or Bernard - essential to get cover for Lambo and Connolly.

This really would be an awesome signing if true. In fact, its too good to be true, so it isn't going to happen. Probably.

Could be a wise signing. Like has already been said, a player with some heritage on a free with a six month contract - it's a no brainer. As for those peeps underwelmed (including the Norwich numpties), I have one word for you - TEAM - and Jon O may well thrive alongside the specific players in our squad. I remember Harding getting a real pasting on here from some when he first joined but now he's putting in MOTM appearances week in-week out. It was the same for Andrew Davies. Give the guy time and let's see what he can do as a Saint...he'll soon be found out if it's a mistake because we'll all be comparing him to James.

LOL - just downloaded that on i-tunes - brilliantly funny song that for some reason reminds me of the Pythons.

Apologies as I was clearly mis-informed about this (and cannot ever recall seeing any explanation on here - I don't read everything though ). In that case then, it has nothing to do with the football club now and should be consigned to history. Move on.

Perhaps it should go back to the family that donated it to Saints in the first place all those years ago? Would be a nice gesture by ML perhaps?

But you were chuffed as you thought of her so tender-ly. Or are we getting our lines crossed and acting above our station? (I could go on)...

Probably not true, however he is exactly the type of player AP would favour - I think he would shadow Connolly perfectly if fit.

Yeh, but interested doesn't mean signed, sealed and delivered. Far from it and I would have thought that his would be one deal that went through quicker if was going to happen atall (he is a league above us - what is there to talk about?).

Fantastic news - once again - for Saints fans. The infrastructure is slowly yet surely being re-built - hang on, no... it's not only being re-built it's being professionally improved upon beyond the imagination of past regimes. Makes Lowe/Woodwards efforts look a bit naff to be fair. Onwards and upwards with the only football team in Hampshire worthy of the terms "professional" and "world-class".

Still can't see this one happening.

Didn't think we would land Ward TBH - still hopeful we might get Stock, BUT AP did say Fonte, one other and a striker, so perhaps all the talk of Stock is just that...talk?

Will give the lad the benefit of the doubt as I think he may have looked poor against us due our better attack. The biggest issue I might have with him is the number of red cards he's accumulated - this could prove to be a big problem for our progression up the table if he continues doing that kind of stuff.

I have to admit to being somewhat confused by the supposed transfers we're meant to be signing. All of sudden we've got umpteen defenders on the books and most them are CB's. And no-one's gone out the door yet. The only explanation if any of this is true is that AP is preparing for what will be a very tough run-in with 2-3 months of games coming at us at 2/week. And a potential play-off run where our best players need to be at the top of their game. You don't do what we're trying to do on a lean squad I guess?

Gotta agree with that.

Cannot for one minute believe we will sign that lot. One possibly from that lot - probably Danns or Stock - and then a striker...that'll be it.
