NIGEL Pearson is searching for a loan goalkeeper as he faces the prospect of being without his top three keepers for this weekend's crunch match with Coventry.
An already tough job for the Saints boss has not been made any easier by injuries to key players and nowhere has that hit home more than in the goalkeeping department.
Kelvin Davis remains touch and go with a finger injury, Bartosz Bialkowski is out following surgery on his thumb last month while Michael Poke injured his ankle in the warm-up for the 5-0 defeat Hull. Though he struggled through the game he is also a doubt for the visit of Coventry to St Mary's.
