OK with 3 games left to go should we see more youngsters get PL debuts?

I don't mean 5 mins appearances but decent 30 minute stints or even starts for some?

Targett, Turnbull, Reed and McQueen have all been training with the first team and the latter 2 have been in the match day squad or had a debut of sorts but why not full blown chances for all four to show what they are capable of?

Would you leave it for the Swansea game or let them have a go at Everton or Man Utd?

I'd start a couple we have nothing to lose.

Everton. Anyone remember when we last beat them? Went to the game just after Christmas. After Gaston scored, the force seemed to be with us and then Lukaku happened. I have only once seen us beat them - 1974 and we got relegated the same day. There was the total battering we gave them last year that ended 0-0 and of course the infamous Bent equaliser in the 144th minute (felt like that to me) at SMS when we'd bossed it and went on to get relegated (again).

We deserve a break. OK, this is not a rational plea, but rationality goes out the window. Even if Liverpool win the title, I do still hold a few crumbs of bragging rights with Reds. But with the Blues? Zilch. I'll take a draw, I'm not being greedy, but the memory of Lukaku terrifying our defence last year when we played WBA still haunts me.

Come on, football gods, make my journey home a cheery one.

2-0 last day of the season 98/99 at home? Marian Pahars to keep us up ....again. Oh for those glory relegation battles rather than this mid-table nonsense :emoticon-0120-doh:

I disagree, Lambie....Hodgson has proved willing to try new players (admittedly sometimes it has been forced on him). Any manager looking at Saints so regularly is okay in my book.

You compare our squad now to that of the last World Cup in 2010 and you would be amazed and I think Hodgson is unfairly criticised here.

Can anyone confirm is Barkley is suspended - I am sure during the Man U capitulation they said he was when he got booked.

He's definitely not banned, it must have been a mistake. You need 15 to get a ban this late in the season.
 
If you have seen pictures of St Mary's pitch today you will know the Reverend Green had something to do with it..

I recall this well - I was in hospital so it doesn't count for me! On the wider point. Yes, we all loved those relegation battles didn't we? Anyone who came within 100 miles of us hated the tension; hearts were known to stop as news of a goal elsewhere came in; GPs thought of novel ways to treat ulcers; men came home to find a note on the table telling them that the whole family had emigrated but would be back once the season was over (as long as Saints stayed up); tears of relief were shed or psychiatrists consulted to help us come to terms with the new reality (Crewe away next season).

Oh yes, I am so going to miss that on Saturday. Do I suspect just a soupcon of irony here, FLT?
