Team For Southampton

[kwik-silva]

Copps looking to make changes:

Kebe, Matejovsky and Brynjar all in, with the possibility of Bikey or Long

So, whats everybody's thoughts on teams?

[mini _dariusz]

Royal Lady will be gutted with Shane playing.

[AlexY25]

Is this a pick the team thread?
Or are you just making the point their will be changes?

[Ian Royal]

If Long starts I might cry.

Obvious change is Kebe for Henry, fitness check is likely to be Bikey for Ivar or Doobs.

Gunnar for Cisse presumably. Marek for Harper. Although more creative that central midfield wouldn't inspire me. Rather sluggish and lacking in stamina, which doesn't bode well considering Saints pulled us apart a bit at our place.

[AlexY25]

Federici
Rosenior
Bikey
Ivar
Armstrong
S.Hunt
Marek
Bryn
Kebe
Doyle
Long

Subs : Andersen, Doobs, Henry, N.Hunt, Harps

I expect Bikey, Bryn, Marek, Kebe and Long to all come in.

Will be interesting to see if he goes for reserve or youth for the fa cup game.

I was going to say pick a team, but I got sidetracked I was also pointing out the changes

Much Appreciated

Looking at the OS site, I'm going to hazard a guess, especially as Long has had such an impact recently:

Federici; Rosenior, Bikey, Ingimarsson, Armstrong; Kebe, Gunnarsson, Matejovsky, S Hunt, Doyle, Long
Subs: Andersen, Duberry, Henry, Harper, N Hunt

Personally, I'd quite like to see Karacan slotted into the subs bench somewhere - but I'm going for a Coppell.

Next saturday he'll be playing. Im pretty sure of that.

Best news in terms of team news is that Schneiderlin is injured for saints. Was their best player IMO when they beat us.

Good news, i was impressed with him earlier int he season.
Lallana is back for them though. Also they rested a few players yesterday, so they've got a few at full fitness whereas were resting players who played yesterday.

Bikey will come into the team but debating whether midfield or defence.

I'd bank on defence as its extremely likely Bryn and Marek will both start

'greed

Therefore Doobs will be rested.

Can't see him starting with Long as Noel Hunt played only 60? mins against Cardiff and a knackered Doyle is worth a lot more than Shane even when he's fresh (sorry to say that but I believe it's true)

Kebe has to start and Gunnarsson is too good not to get the nod when others will be feeling the strain....................I guess the same applies to Bikey.

I think that might be it given Harpers supreme fitness but, compared to last season, it's so nice to see our manager being prepared to use his squad.
