Not happy with this team, unless injured dropping fox and de ridder is not right! Absolutely shocking!!!
Subs are Bart, Fox, Holmes, Forte, Reeves Weaker bench than normal....De Ridder and Morgan injured? (Or is Schneiderlin suspended?) Bit c oncerned about lack of options to change the game if we need them later on....hopefully not though!
I'm pleased Connolly is playing.The only change I'm not particularly happy with is Harding for Fox. I prefer Fox but I trust Nigel and changes were needed.
Not happy De Ridder has been dropped -he has been superb recently, must be an injury! schneiderlin we know is suspended, and good to see Martin play again Interesting that Forte is on the bench, and good to see Reeves involved
I have no complaints about Harding playing, we have 2 good left backs and when we've played 2 games in 4 days its an advantage to have one completely fresh! Hoping Lallana has a good game today, as has been previously mentioned he seems to link up well with Harding and Connolly. I'll be interested to see if Reeves plays, and I hope Holmes gets a chance, I think he's a good player even though he seems to have been forgotten.
Agreed! Three points is a must. Fingers crossed we will get at them early and get an early goal or two.
So we have no subs we can bring on and change the game should we need to! Oh dear it's going to be one of those days again!
I AM happy with this team! With Connolly back with Rickie we'll score goals against their makeshift defence. A solid midfield and a fresh back four. What's the point of the best academy in the country if we're scared to play anyone from it? and against probably the weakest team out today. Nigel knows! 4-0 Saints!
Basically the same lineup we had at the 3-1 win over leeds (just swap hooiveld for fonte) Not that worried tbh, brighton are weaker then the last time we played too.
