for_heaven's_Saint Posted 5 December, 2012 Share Posted 5 December, 2012 If Ramirez is out it will obviously be a blow but I think Steven Davis could do a job in Gaston's place for one game. He's looked much better coming on and playing further forward in front of Cork and Morgan IMO. Think those 3 would be tenacious enough to win the midfield battle.

Saint_John Posted 5 December, 2012 Share Posted 5 December, 2012 I forgot how much we were on top in last season's game :- Possession - Saints 59% v reading 41%. Shots - Saints 19 v reading 6. On Target - Saints 12 v reading 4. Corners - Saints 7 v reading 2. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/17637590 It looks like only Jose, Jack, Adam and Rickie will be the only 4 remaining from that starting lineup.

Southampton FC @officialsaints Nigel Adkins confirms Jonathon Forte returns to the squad for the visit of Reading to St Mary's. No new injury concerns. #saintsfc When he says "squad" does he mean the 17, or just the SFC squad in general? I can only pray that he means Forte is in the general squad and won't be involved on matchday. Forte's loan at Crawley was for 3 months and expired on 17th November, he hasn't played for them since. Oh God; he's going to be in the matchday squad, isn't he?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scummer Posted 6 December, 2012 Share Posted 6 December, 2012 I know that, I'd have shipped him off permanently to some distant nether world, does he actually have a squad number ? He's in our 25 man squad. He was on a 3 month loan, which has now expired. Therefore by default he's back in the squad now. I'd be very surprised if we saw him playing for the first team again.

Saint Charlie Posted 6 December, 2012 Share Posted 6 December, 2012 (edited) He has been recalled or his loan ended - was on the bench for the U21s the other day vs Manchester Utd.
