Morning guys and gals. We are two or three up with 20 to go today; who comes off and who do you want to see on? I'd like to see Rickie brought off with 5-10 left so he can get his own ovation, followed by, a CM if Deano is on the bench or take Deano off to bring on Morgan or Jack. finally for me is to bring Martin on for Jos or Jose. We are going up, say we are going up! Go on say it
No problem with subs suggested apart from Martin. I am a bit of a Martin fan, but no chances must be taken with this game. No room for sentiment. It would have been great if we were already promoted because there would have been an opportunity for some players (especially as Coventry already demoted) but not today.
Martin has been involved IN EVERY SINGLE MATCH DAY SQUAD If we're in a comfortable lead, he has surely gotta come on? Be a great experience for the young, local lad
Only IF the scenario is as you suggest with Saints leading by a couple of goals, playing well and not long to go would a professional like Nigel substitute players for sentimental reasons - just too much at stake. However if the scenario IS right then it would be great to see our very own Aaron Martin come on and the legend that is Rickie Lambert come off, etc. What a match in prospect - its raining again so lets hope that the conditions don't conspire against us ! COYR !!
Do you think they will water the pitch today? They always seem to feel the need to do so. I always thought it was so they could drench the visiting team while they went through their warm up routine.
All groundsmen seem to make a big thing of watering the pitch immediately before kickoff these days - and then you see the players slipping & sliding around and i ask myself why the heck do they do it ! Surely no need for sprinklers today though, but it would never surprise me if they do !
