    So Rickie is out?

    Hopefully the team step up their game without him much like when Lallana was out

    I think Doncaster will raise their game today, or perhaps I should say individuals will raise their game. Donny are known for playing cohesive football, yet I don't know how this is going to gel with this signing strategy they are employing - and may it continue to yield little success today on the pitch:)

    Good to see Fox back. Shame about no Lambert, but it was half expected.

    Will be interesting if De Ridder starts up top with Guly in a 4-4-2, or if he starts out wide - either in a 4-5-1 or a 4-4-1-1 with Lallana pushed forward into the hole.

    :steam: Probably the best game for him to miss, but we won't know until 16.45. Hope he's not out for long, but we are about to find out the answer to the question: how good are we without him. Bet Doncaster fans are pleased.

    Lets see how Saints cope without Lambert. They coped well without Lallana when he was injured. Lets be thankful that they aren't injured at the same time!

    I hope we get a penalty today, purely so I can see who takes it. I'm guessing it would be Lallana, or possibly Fox, but in all honestly there are six or seven guys out there who you could make a case for.

    No natural striker upfront but we know Guly can score goals and Steve should give their defence a nightmare. Will be interesting to see how we cope without Rickie but we should still win this game! COYR

    well seeing as Lallana isn't a great finisher i don't think it would be him. I think Guly would take it as he has taken them before for Cesena.
