What are the names of the Southampton football players that will beat Reading on 13th April 2012? This team? 01 Davis 06 Fonte 12 Butterfield 13 Fox 26 Hooiveld 08 Cork 14 Hammond 18 Chaplow 20 Lallana 07 Lambert 11 Sharp De Ridder to come on in place of Chaplow after 80 minutes. Barnard coming on to make sure of the points in the 85th minute. and no this message wasn't written to tell you it's sold out.
Chaplow has to start for me, no point in changing the midfield after them dominating palace's. Don't change a winning side is my view for friday.
I don't think Chaplow has played at home for a while, I don't understand why he doesn't start. Any news on Spiderman?
Definitely Chappers, brings more 'bite' and dynamism into midfield. Did not like the atmosphere shrouded around Guly on Monday nor his body language. If he is like that at SMS the home crowd will not be merciful.
I always find that a bizarre concept. What if for example Saints had a game against Doncaster Rovers and struggled to a 1-0 win without the suspended Lambert and Lallana. If the next game was against West Ham and Lallana and Lambert were back from suspension under your management philosophy of "don't change a winning side" you wouldn't put them back in.
I guess winning becomes a habit and if you chop and change it too much, it can sometimes hinder the team's performance but you have to ensure you have the best team to beat the opponents. I think it's about getting the balance right between picking the best team for that particular game and keeping the momentum going if you've won your last game. We're lucky with the squad we have that we've got some excellent fringe/second choice players if needed.
