Connolly knock shows up lack of depth
10:00am Friday 1st January 2010
Alan Pardew’s need for another striker in the January transfer window has been highlighted again by the news that David Connolly is a doubt for tomorrow’s FA Cup third round clash with Luton.
The Saints boss has admitted that he is after a couple of new signings in the window, as well as looking to extend the loans of Neal Trotman and Michail Antonio.
One of those will surely be a striker as he tries to find ample cover for Connolly and strike partner Rickie Lambert.
Pardew may have liked to have given Lambert a rare rest for tomorrow’s game against the non-league Blue Square Premier side but that will not be an option if Connolly is sidelined.
Full story in today’s Southern Daily Echo.

I thought he was class but seemed to be getting a lot of stick on here of late? Hopefully the new manager will come in, not play him enough and we can buy him at the end of the season. He must have enjoyed his time here? And if he doesn't get picked there then surely he will push for a move?

what happened to Matt Patterson? he looked a good prospect but obviously is not rated by AP. Could have been a good game to have played to prove his worth
Think we have to get more defenders in before strikers - scoring goals has not been a problem! As for Pericard, would be a step backwards imo.

Saga doesn't play again until he comes on as sub when we are 2.0 down to Torquay, Surprise, surprise he creates both goals in a 2.2 comeback.
We don't need more strikers, we need a manager who learns simple lessons.

We do also have Paterson who have showed that he can perform against lower opposition. Don't you people think this is the Echo trying to create transfer stories out of nothing?
A forward is the only position I thought that we don't really need just yet. A couple of defenders is the priority.

y I would play Waigo and Patterson. I think Patterson deserves a chance. I would like to see Martin play in defence as well.
My team to:
Davis (to come back in just for this game)
James
Perry
Martin
Harding
Hammond
Wotton
Gobern
Antonio
Waigo
Patterson
bench - Ricky, Lallana, Jaidi etc.
It's a mixture of young and experienced and you would hope good enough to see off Luton.

As for Connolly being injured; it really isn't a massive problem because we still have the overpaid Saganowski we can play. He seems to be banging a few in for the reserves. AP is going to have to find some forgiveness in his heart for a player that has been sent to Coventry for long enough and who has hopefully learnt his lesson that this club is not beneath him.
I agree with a lot of the posts that we do still need to sign a new spine, but in all 3 positions I would like to see physical players as we have enough flare players to blend with.
COYR 3-1 again please, although a clean sheet would be fantastic.

No bannana skins today please Saints
3-0 would be a nice comfortable afternoon but I can see Luton being right up for this one
I'm predicting a messy 2-1
