Southampton Build up Thread

[Bender]

He shouldn't be starting first team games for a while I agree but 15/20 minute cameos will do no harm.

ask yourself this if we were winning games and were in the top 4/6 would Lucas be bought back so soon ?

If he was capable of playing 60 minutes for the reserves a week ago then he should be capable of playing for 10 minutes on Saturday. If he get's rushed back and is re-injured then I'll admit to being wrong. We'll see.

Is he hugely less likely to be injured in a reserve match?

[yamiedo]

Suarez to score at least 2 to make up for his 2 league games without a goal.

Well the intensity is less so I'd say so.

For ****s sake drop Suarez. Just blagged a corporate ticket for west ham game and need to make sure Luis plays! Can't be risking a suspension I'm afraid. Purely selfish on my part.

Nice one, you rested brad Jones too just in case, ta

[Fosterbloke]

already being rushed back

What do you base your assumption on? Did you speak to the club physios and management?

[MrMichael]

Anything less than 5 wins out of those fixtures, and BR will be under real pressure. Especially with Rafa now back in the PL. Right or wrong, the fans patience can only last so long.

I agree we should be looking for ~5 wins from those games.

I totally don't see how Rafa managing Chelsea (and maybe struggling to deal with the ridiculousness of that club) puts BR under more pressure, I would have thought now he's employed elsewhere that actually removes some pressure from some fans who might have seen him as waiting in the wings.

It certainley puts more pressure on BR as our most successfull manager since the 80's is back in the league, he's back in our fans faces & the public eye. Particularly if Rafa does well.

If Rafa does well there why the hell would he want to come back to us? He'd have to be mad. he'll have an open chq book if he does well compared with the skimping & scrounging that's gone on before now & who knows in the future maybe?

I'd rest Sterling and play Enrique but apart from that I like it.
