Saint_clark Posted 31 March, 2011 Share Posted 31 March, 2011 Season in doubt...ffs. Talk about focusing on the negatives. Lallana being back is a million times more important than Chamberlain being out for at least 2 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Charlie Posted 31 March, 2011 Share Posted 31 March, 2011 Good news in that Lallana is our most influential player. Hopefully, N'Guessan, Forte and Guly can cover for Chambo which is a blow - he will miss at least 5 or 6 games it would seem, if not all of them.

Oxo is an impact player yes and he can turn the full backs inside out but he rarely if ever has played a full game. We have plenty of cover for him, we don't have the right cover for Lallana though, him bing fit is absolutely MASSIVE!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lallana being back is a million times more important than Chamberlain being out for at least 2 weeks. Errmm.... I took him to mean that Chamberlain's season was in doubt, not the whole club's. If he isn't even being assessed for 2 weeks he may well be out for the rest of the season. If I had to choose between Chamberlain and Lallana it would be Lallana every time for me too btw. In 2 or 3 years' time, who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The9 Posted 31 March, 2011 Share Posted 31 March, 2011 the infamous 'give it to the left back' season? Or the 'give it to Theo' season? The "give it to Theo" half-season. Difficult to know the direct impact it had, given that we also got shot of 14 others and had a new manager within those 2 months, but we spent the rest of 2006/7 looking at the line below, not the line above.

alpine_saint Posted 31 March, 2011 Share Posted 31 March, 2011 If he isnt being re-assessed for another 2 weeks, chances are his season is finished, considering we are only talking about ~ 6 weeks left. I think this could have tragic consequences. He has been called an impact player - exactly what we need when turning 1pt into 3pts in only one game may be critical. However, referring back to the very unpoular thread I started last week, it could make all the difference having a fit and rested Oxo in the playoffs. Great news about Lallana being fit though, really didnt fancy our chances over the next 10 games without him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saintsmike25 Posted 31 March, 2011 Share Posted 31 March, 2011 It all depends on the severity of the Sprain, obvious indications show that there's heavy swelling around the Ankle, however there isn't a break. What Chamberlain would have done to aid his recovery is rest his ankle, ice it and obviously compress and elevate it. Take it from someone who had a similar injury in the past 5/6 weeks. That can take weeks off a sprain, so if all goes well he'll be available for the last 4 games. The comments from Adkins "we're totally shutting Alex off" in a couple of weeks the reassessment will be to do with how much he can turn and roll his ankle and if the swelling has disappeared entirely. If we're being optimistic he'll be back in light training in two and a half weeks and back to games in four weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rooney Posted 31 March, 2011 Share Posted 31 March, 2011 NA told us he bought N'gussen and Forte for power & pace, in the transfer window. With OxC out, they must now step up to the plate and with Championship experience, they should be capable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benjii Posted 31 March, 2011 Share Posted 31 March, 2011 Interesting selection dilemma for Saturday then. An obvious alternative is to play Stephens with Chaplow and Hammond and stick Lallana at the top of a diamond. Alternatively you could move Lallana to the right and play N'Guessan or Forte on the left, or play Guly on the right. Whatever happens, we will still have a strong 11 and a good bench so no reason to panic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suewhistle Posted 31 March, 2011 Share Posted 31 March, 2011 He's now rebooting nguessan and charging forte while syncing guly. Well, as long as he doesn't defrag the whole team... Joking aside it's good to see that they are protecting a young and still growing player. They'll obviously know how much growing he has to do but from his compact physique he looks almost there. Gobern, being much taller seems a later developer which is why I think he still has a future, and why recently he seems a bit more co-ordinated and less bambi-like!

hamster Posted 31 March, 2011 Share Posted 31 March, 2011 Like many I'm not as concerned with AOC being out, we're probably gonna lose him in a couple of months anyway so a good opportunity to get him in tiP top conditiOn for the auction. On the plus side we'll hopefully use my man Guly a bit more and I think he's more suited to Saints long term plans than Alex is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saints Warrior Posted 31 March, 2011 Share Posted 31 March, 2011 Oxo and Lallana are `Saints going forward` we dont have backup which has creativeness and skill to get past players. If we have Lambert deep and wide trying to hold and feed to just Barnard thats not an attacking option. N'gussen and Forte are not these type of players and dont have pace at all, they are more ummm well not sure, ca they keep the ball, get rid of it quickly and shoot...no I think they are cover for last 10-15 min subs not attacking players. I just hope we can see these players as we expect them ! Thats why brighton are top and Saints far too many points behined, we dont have the squad...on paper with no bans, injury setbacks sure the 3 points can be scapped out but 3 out from 1st 11 thats only 8 giving an unbalanced team and inconsistant. I want to now see Saints consistant in all the last games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen enough of him play HTBH (just a couple of sub apperances) but it seems strange the manager thinks he is quick and you say he has no pace.

NickG Posted 1 April, 2011 Share Posted 1 April, 2011 not knocking him, as we are lucky to have him and of course would play him if fit - but he does drift out of the game at times - expected for winger of his age. Another option may not bring the brilliance but may put in team performance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
