So who of our promising bunch will be on the 7 man bench or loaned out to Championship / League One club? Nigel did recently say that he would want to include 5 youth team players in the squad next season.
I think Ward-Prowse will go on a 3 month to one of the Championship teams. Maybe somewhere like Birmingham or Derby. Then with some experience he might make the bench (if his loan has gone well of course) for the remainding PL campaign.
Not sure about Shaw, Stephens and Chambers but maybe they'll go out on loan too.
Anyone seen them play reguarly to have a better idea of their development?
Leeds away and Millwall away were the defining moments for me. We weren't particularly great and managed to get 6 points. Teams that can do that often do well.
I wonder what the defining moment of next season could be. A late Lambert bullet header at Old Trafford away perhaps?

Linking us with Yakubu (no thanks), Matt Phillips (yes please), Jake Livermore (yes please), and Simon Cox (no thanks)
In fact google has told me he plays with both feet and is naturally left footed but has a decent right foot. So decent that he uses his right foot for corners.
He plays a similar way to Lallana which is good that he is left footed. He really fits the mold in the sort of player we want.
His crossing is pretty good too.
SIGN HIM UP!!
De Ridders goal against Reading is up there. Went absolutely mental for that.
Lamberts two late penalties were special. The moment you just knew this squad was not going to bottle it.
FT against Coventry will stick with me for years and years. What an epic day and way to go up. It'll take winning the FA cup to beat that.
