Not happy with RB. Unless Clyne is hurt this line up makes me nervous. Obviously MP has something up his sleeve. I trust he is correct.
Thank God Schneiderlin is playing, I really don't fancy us without him. I think Jos will be alright in this one, plenty of muscle against Holt and shouldn't get done for pace. Worry about Maya at RB though, I will be very pleasantly surprised if the match highlights later isn't full of him gifting the ball away down the right. Are we thinking that it is going to be Lallana on the left and JRod on the right or vice versa?
Southampton Football Club on Twitter: "Fox out with quadriceps injury. Clyne picked up a knock last Saturday but he is fit enough to take a place among the substitutes."
Really? Snodgrass and Pilkington aren't exactly what I'd call 'quick' wingers. They're alright though. I'd prefer to lose Clyne than Shaw.
NORWICH TEAM: Bunn; R Martin, Bassong, Turner, Garrido; Johnson, Howson, Snodgrass, Pilkington; Kamara, Holt.
I see Danny Fox is on the Norwich bench ... good idea for the inevitable cock-up so the goal goes in our favour
So they've dropped a playmaker for a target man, maybe theres something in this team selection after all?
Alex Crook: "Speaking to a couple of #saintsfc players last week they knew they did not do themselves justice v #qpr. Expect a reaction today" Well you would hope so!!
So does the Premier League site. But Saints themselves have confirmed Fox is injured with quadriceps issues.
Bit unfair. In the match against QPR, pass completions were: 82% - José 80% - Nathan 78% - Maya 76% - Luke 72% - Danny Team average 80%. Vin
