Saints Academy Thread

Hope it goes to plan and he makes the squad for Sunday. Great to see him back.

 

Must be scary for him....you think you are invincible before such an injury...afterwards, it must take a while to put it to the back of your mind.

 

Free entry at SMS tonight too

 

I hope the physios in attendance have a big stack of cotton wool. And he must be carried on and off the pitch....no point in taking risks.

 

I'm thinking I might have a toddle down there to see the game

 

That would make a pretty good visual joke.

 

For those who can't make it but would like to view the game later.....

 

Teams announced. No JRod. So next season then.....?

 

We don't want to rush him into things, and there is really no point for the sake of two remaining games (one is at U21 level). As long as he is fit for the first day of pre season, then I think we will all be delighted.

 

Agreed, if we were in with a shout of top 4, it would be a different matter - he'd be in my squad for Sunday. But there's no point risking him now when we've got 3 players who play his position who scored 6 between them only a few days ago.

 

If he was played tonight or Sunday and got injured again, then people would never forgive Koeman for playing him. The club are doing the right thing, and we just don't want him to be out for another few months for the sake of 20 minutes in two pretty 'meaningless' games.

 

Such sloppiness in the final third, poor touches, poor shots, otherwise we could have been two or three up already. Isgrove playing well.

 

Isgrove hits the post.

 

Great tackle by Mugabe

 

City take the lead. Olly Cook took too much time to close his man.

 

2-0 now just before half time. Nice goal.

 

2-o to City. Ustoppable shot form the edge of the area

 

3-0 now to City

 

4-0
