Strike duo to be reunited at St Mary's
8:00am Tuesday 27th November 2012 in Sport
By Gordon Simpson, Senior Sports Reporter
They were once teammates in League Two, but Rickie Lambert and Grant Holt will be up against each other in the Premier League tomorrow night when Norwich visit Saints.
Lambert and Holt struck up a memorable partnership earlier in their careers when they were together at Rochdale.
Steve Parkin was their manager at the time, bringing the forwards to Spotland for a combined total of £30,000.
The Bradford assistant boss will look on with pride tomorrow as Lambert and Holt, whose respective values have rocketed since their days together in the fourth tier, face each other for the first time in the top flight.
“No one is prouder than me to see what they have accomplished, and the way in which they have done it,” said Parkin.
“I am really pleased for them both, and they are really good lads as well.
“Sometimes they have dragged teams along with the ability they have got, and it is really nice for them to have made it to the top. They both deserve it.”
Parkin signed Holt in January 2004, then added Lambert just over a year later.
The pair were teammates for only 11 months, but scored 36 times between them in that period, before Nottingham Forest moved for Holt and Bristol Rovers signed Lambert.
“Grant had been in and out of the Sheffield Wednesday team. I had seen him in a couple of reserve games and thought he was a handful, to say the least,” said Parkin, recalling how he came across the two centre forwards that are expected to lead the lines for Norwich and Saints tomorrow.
“A little bit later, there was a change of manager at Stockport. Chris Turner went in there and Rickie was available.
“He had been playing as a midfielder most of his career, but I saw him as an ideal partner to Grant.”
Lambert, who had just turned 23 when he joined Rochdale, has previously credit Parkin for having “transformed” his career, as a result of converting him from a midfield player into a striker.
The 47-year-old added: “I’m very proud I had the opportunity to work with both of them, and also proud that I shoved Rickie up top, rather than playing him as a midfielder.”
As well as altering his position on the pitch, Parkin encouraged Lambert to make important changes off it.
“He wasn’t lazy, but he was such a gifted footballer that he found the physical side – the running side – quite difficult,” he said.
“We had to get the message across that, while he was never going to be a box-to-box player, the game was changing and players were getting fitter, and that’s what he had to do.
“He had to restrain himself from having a beer or two too often, and make sure that he ate properly. He also had to bring his physical stature up to speed, and he did exactly that.
“He changed his mentality, in terms of how he looked after himself.”
Parkin described both players as being “very different” when he had them at Rochdale, with Holt being more powerful and direct, while Lambert was a better technical player.
They were also opposite characters in terms of personality.
“Grant is obviously very outgoing and can be very loud on and off the pitch,” he said.
“Rickie, on the other hand, was quiet and unassuming for a man of his size.
“But both of them were really nice lads. They were good mates, and they developed a friendship. Even though they were different personalities, they got on very well on and off the pitch.”
There was one thing, however, that they had very much in common.
“They both have an unbelievable desire to score goals,” said Parkin.
“That’s given them the edge to get every ounce of ability out of their careers.
“As a manager or a coach, you are always looking for players to fulfil their potential, and squeeze every ounce out that they have got.
“They have both done that, and got right to the very top because of it.
“I would be lying if I said I thought they would both definitely play in the Premier League.
“I thought the Championship definitely was within the realms of their ability.
“But for those two to push themselves and their clubs – which they have done with their goals – to that level is absolutely fantastic.”
Holt, now 31, scored 15 Premier League goals for the Canaries last season and has converted three this term, while 30-year-old Lambert is Saints’ top scorer with five.
Parkin is proud of the role he played in the journeys of both players to the top flight, but insists it is the two players themselves who really deserve the credit for elevating themselves to that level.
“I’m delighted that I played a little part in their careers, and thrilled that they fulfilled their potential,” he said. “I’m sure they know I’m really delighted for them.
“They might have had a little help from me and a lot of other managers and coaches, but it is their own determination that has got them where they are now.”

On 10 August 2009, with a total of 155 appearances and 59 goals for Bristol Rovers, Lambert completed a move worth in excess of £1 million to recently-relegated League One club Southampton. The striker scored on his debut for The Saints against Northampton Town on 11 August 2009, and went on to become the club's top scorer for that season with 36 in all competitions. Other notable goals scored by Lambert during the season include one against local rivals Portsmouth in the FA Cup Fifth Round South Coast derby on 13 February 2010, a hat-trick against Milton Keynes Dons in the league on 20 March 2010, and a penalty against Carlisle United in the 4–1 League Trophy Final win at Wembley on 28 March 2010. Following a season in which he performed statistically similarly to his last with Bristol Rovers, Lambert was again named in the PFA Team of the Year for League One, as well as winning the PFA Fans' Player of the Year award for the division.
He finished his debut season with Southampton with a total of 36 goals in all competitions, in addition to the goal he scored for Bristol Rovers in the opening match of the season. With 31 League goals, Lambert was the top scorer in English football's top four divisions for the second season in succession.
He scored his 50th goal for Southampton in a 1–0 victory over Carlisle United on 12 February 2011. He finished the 2010–11 season as the club's top scorer with 21 goals, as they finished second in the league. On 1 July 2011, Lambert signed a new deal to keep him at the club until 2014.
He scored his first goal of the 2011–12 season with a 25-yard free kick in a 4–1 victory over Torquay United in the League Cup on 9 August. He followed this with a brace in a 5–2 victory at Ipswich Town. He scored a hat-trick against Nottingham Forest which Southampton won the match 3-2. His 100th league appearance came in a 4–0 victory over Watford, with Lambert netting two penalties. He scored another hat-trick in a 3–0 victory over Brighton & Hove Albion, two of which came from the penalty spot. His 15th and 16th goals of the season came in a 2–2 draw at home to Blackpool, the opener and a late leveller. He scored in a 1–1 draw with south coast rivals Portsmouth. After sitting out for 3 games after receiving a red card, he made his comeback with a goal in a 1–1 draw at Millwall in the FA Cup. His first league goal after his suspension was in the very next match and came from the penalty spot in a 1-1 draw against promotion hopefuls Cardiff City. His 20th goal of the season came in the FA Cup replay against Millwall. He scored his third hat-trick of the season in a 3-0 victory at Watford on 25 February. He continued his impressive first season in the second tier with a thunderous volley against Leeds United at Elland Road on 3 March, which took his tally for the 2011–12 season to 24 in all competitions.
On 13 March 2012, Lambert was named the Championship Player of the Year for 2011. He scored his fourth hat-trick of the season in a 3–2 victory at Millwall. While at Southampton, Lambert has not yet missed a penalty; giving him a 100% conversion rate. He scored both goals in a 2-0 victory at Crystal Palace to bring his goal tally to 30 for the season. He was then named in the 2011-12 PFA Championship Team of the Year, along with team mates Adam Lallana and Kelvin Davis. He finished the season with 31 goals, 27 in the league, as Saints clinched promotion to the Premier League, earning him the Southampton Fans' Player of the Season award for the second time in three years.
He scored on his first ever Premier League appearance, scoring just minutes after replacing Jay Rodriguez as a substitute against Manchester City. This goal meant that Lambert joined a select group of players who have scored in all 4 League divisions.
He followed this up with the opening goal in a game against Manchester United.
He later grabbed two goals in Southampton's first league win of the season, a 4-1 victory over Aston Villa.
He's currently on 5 goals in the PL.......not bad for a lumbering lump....Ssshhhuuusss

Not true! (imo!)
The problem arises when people post over and over again the same FACTLESS NEGATIVE (stress intended) comment.
For example, you and a number of others have a problem with Guly. Fine, you're entitled to believe he's rubbish, not worthy of selection. Heck, you're even entitled to suggest he gets selected because of some strange NC team-selection policy if you wish. BUT ........
....... a few things you need to remember.
Others are entitled to:
1. challenge your point of view.
2. suggest you might not be seeing the whole picture and your criticism is disproportionate alongside any lack of criticism of other 'favourites' who might have played no better.
3. question whether it's right to moan about (and more specifically AT) a Saints player who is playing for the team. (I accept a player who disrespects the shirt or says he doesn't want to play for the team doesn't have the right to expect support from the terraces/stands.)
4. tell you that, having made your point, you don't need to go on and on about it.
5. point out that, in fact, his contributions in most Prem games this season have so far been okay. His endless running at Man City tired their defence sufficiently to enable Rickie to come on and (for a time) change the game etc......
Like most of us on here, you are clearly passionate about The Saints and fully behind the team. So let's just agree that we are allowed to hold different views as well as similar ones. For example, I think Confucious’s poem earlier was dreadful; lacking charm, imagination and structure. Then again, what do I know about poetry?

Not true! (imo!)
The problem arises when people post over and over again the same FACTLESS NEGATIVE (stress intended) comment.
For example, you and a number of others have a problem with Guly. Fine, you're entitled to believe he's rubbish, not worthy of selection. Heck, you're even entitled to suggest he gets selected because of some strange NC team-selection policy if you wish. BUT ........
....... a few things you need to remember.
Others are entitled to:
1. challenge your point of view.
2. suggest you might not be seeing the whole picture and your criticism is disproportionate alongside any lack of criticism of other 'favourites' who might have played no better.
3. question whether it's right to moan about (and more specifically AT) a Saints player who is playing for the team. (I accept a player who disrespects the shirt or says he doesn't want to play for the team doesn't have the right to expect support from the terraces/stands.)
4. tell you that, having made your point, you don't need to go on and on about it.
5. point out that, in fact, his contributions in most Prem games this season have so far been okay. His endless running at Man City tired their defence sufficiently to enable Rickie to come on and (for a time) change the game etc......
Like most of us on here, you are clearly passionate about The Saints and fully behind the team. So let's just agree that we are allowed to hold different views as well as similar ones. For example, I think Confucious’s poem earlier was dreadful; lacking charm, imagination and structure. Then again, what do I know about poetry?

Regarding the use of English, 'proofreading' is all one word, but hey!
As an aside (with no offence intended to anyone), when I worked in London, I once asked a colleague if they could poofread (error intended) one of my documents. It happened that she was a lesbian. How we laughed!

i know that some saints fans are going on a away trip on the glorious 14th to see poopey vs poopey deathmatch, but can we all agree to have a second away trip to the opening of the new tescos notarf krap. it would be a new and wonderful sight to see so many people together in that place at the same time, a sight not seen since the last time we went there, sold out our tickets did they? nope thought not.
i think we might see changes tomorrow night, lets be honest norwich will be a tough game but its a more winable game than scouse away. i dont fear scouse away just think norwich is the game to target the points.

Tricky choice here. But I wouldn't be surprised to see jay rod get the nod ahead of lambert, to rest him for the weekend when we will need him to get anything from liverpool.
Also I'd expect to see jwp get picked ahead of spiderman, and maybe even fox ahead of shaw, for the same reasons.
If someone looks knackered, fine. But I'd say the chance to win three in a row should energise the team and I'm sure nobody will want to miss out on Wednesday, which is a great thing.
If we need to rest anyone, let's do it at the weekend when any point will be a bonus. Nigel has tended to rest Ricky in tough away fixtures anyway in favour of players with more energy. For Liverpool, I'd expect a similar set up, with the odd different player, to our team at Man City.
Whatever he goes with, fine, but that's my preference.

Southampton
On 10 August 2009, with a total of 155 appearances and 59 goals for Bristol Rovers, Lambert completed a move worth in excess of £1 million to recently-relegated League One club Southampton. The striker scored on his debut for The Saints against Northampton Town on 11 August 2009, and went on to become the club's top scorer for that season with 36 in all competitions. Other notable goals scored by Lambert during the season include one against local rivals Portsmouth in the FA Cup Fifth Round South Coast derby on 13 February 2010, a hat-trick against Milton Keynes Dons in the league on 20 March 2010, and a penalty against Carlisle United in the 4–1 League Trophy Final win at Wembley on 28 March 2010. Following a season in which he performed statistically similarly to his last with Bristol Rovers, Lambert was again named in the PFA Team of the Year for League One, as well as winning the PFA Fans' Player of the Year award for the division.
He finished his debut season with Southampton with a total of 36 goals in all competitions, in addition to the goal he scored for Bristol Rovers in the opening match of the season. With 31 League goals, Lambert was the top scorer in English football's top four divisions for the second season in succession.
He scored his 50th goal for Southampton in a 1–0 victory over Carlisle United on 12 February 2011. He finished the 2010–11 season as the club's top scorer with 21 goals, as they finished second in the league. On 1 July 2011, Lambert signed a new deal to keep him at the club until 2014.
He scored his first goal of the 2011–12 season with a 25-yard free kick in a 4–1 victory over Torquay United in the League Cup on 9 August. He followed this with a brace in a 5–2 victory at Ipswich Town. He scored a hat-trick against Nottingham Forest which Southampton won the match 3-2. His 100th league appearance came in a 4–0 victory over Watford, with Lambert netting two penalties. He scored another hat-trick in a 3–0 victory over Brighton & Hove Albion, two of which came from the penalty spot. His 15th and 16th goals of the season came in a 2–2 draw at home to Blackpool, the opener and a late leveller. He scored in a 1–1 draw with south coast rivals Portsmouth. After sitting out for 3 games after receiving a red card, he made his comeback with a goal in a 1–1 draw at Millwall in the FA Cup. His first league goal after his suspension was in the very next match and came from the penalty spot in a 1-1 draw against promotion hopefuls Cardiff City. His 20th goal of the season came in the FA Cup replay against Millwall. He scored his third hat-trick of the season in a 3-0 victory at Watford on 25 February. He continued his impressive first season in the second tier with a thunderous volley against Leeds United at Elland Road on 3 March, which took his tally for the 2011–12 season to 24 in all competitions.
On 13 March 2012, Lambert was named the Championship Player of the Year for 2011. He scored his fourth hat-trick of the season in a 3–2 victory at Millwall. While at Southampton, Lambert has not yet missed a penalty; giving him a 100% conversion rate. He scored both goals in a 2-0 victory at Crystal Palace to bring his goal tally to 30 for the season. He was then named in the 2011-12 PFA Championship Team of the Year, along with team mates Adam Lallana and Kelvin Davis. He finished the season with 31 goals, 27 in the league, as Saints clinched promotion to the Premier League, earning him the Southampton Fans' Player of the Season award for the second time in three years.
He scored on his first ever Premier League appearance, scoring just minutes after replacing Jay Rodriguez as a substitute against Manchester City. This goal meant that Lambert joined a select group of players who have scored in all 4 League divisions.
He followed this up with the opening goal in a game against Manchester United.
He later grabbed two goals in Southampton's first league win of the season, a 4-1 victory over Aston Villa.
He's currently on 5 goals in the PL.......not bad for a lumbering lump....Ssshhhuuusss

BBC reckon we'll be unchanged. I hope so. All this stuff about saving players for the trip to Liverpool is nonsense - both games are worth 3 points and I think Norwich are a more important opponent to send away empty handed than Liverpool. Having said that, we can go above Liverpool if we beat Narg and Spurs beat Liverpool.
Lawro and Goran Ivanisovic both go 2-0 Saints. Can't argue with the result but I did a deal with fate for a 2-1 win yesterday so have to honour that.

I think he’ll start with the same team. In my opinion this is a more winnable game than Liverpool away (depending on which Liverpool turn up). I may be wrong but I think whatever happens tonight, we’ll be back in the bottom 3. Nigel will want to quickly get back out and a home game against a team likely to be around us will take precedence.

Anyway, my point is Robby is in a dilemma as it means he has to take a pay cut if he gets anything but the most well paid job. But sitting at home for 2 years isn't going to keep him fresh in chairmen's minds.
If Chelsea win the world club championship with what is effectively di matteo's team his professional pride may take over and he'll take a job.
But there won't be one on offer down here. Next seat to get vacated could be Sunderland. Otherwise, perhaps Italy or the former CCCP

That was a whole load of tippytappy and I couldn't stand the negativity of passing that both teams had.
Saints kept the ball against Newcastle but not just for the sake of keeping the ball.Occasionally a long ball from defence as a pass to a forward player will catch out the opposition. That is not route one, it is variation.
Some of our counter attacking football was quite brilliant, but the fact is that a counter attack requires the opposition to be in our half!
Norwich are similar to us in that they do not have prima donnas and they all work back and cover each other. This has been more apparent with Cork in the team and it has meant that Lallana and Puncheon have seen what Cork does and have followed to suit.
Saints have become a more cohesive unit with Cork cementing the team together and allowing Scneiderlin to roam more.
Bringing on Davis as a substitute is tightening the defensive aspect late in the game, I hope that Ward-Prowse is able to learn from the sides watching and taking note.
All of us supporters were posting that we needed reinforcements in January when we lost a few games, now we have won a couple that call has quietened a little.
If we were to purchase new players, who would drop out?

Liverpool are away to Tottenham and a tricky game that they could easily lose.
Saturdays game will then become a bit more difficult for them as we would only be two points behind them and on a good run.
Funny old game football.
At the beginning of the season all Saints fans were saying we needed to buy back four players, Liverpool fans were saying they needed to buy strikers.
All the experts say build from the back.
Liverpool can not pull away because thay are not winning, just drawing.
They have won 3, the same as us.
We have scored 6 more goals than them, and we always look likely to score.
If we cut out the silly mistakes then we have a team to give anyone a good game.
I was really looking forward to this season and so far I have enjoyed the football we play.

That was a whole load of tippytappy and I couldn't stand the negativity of passing that both teams had.
Saints kept the ball against Newcastle but not just for the sake of keeping the ball.Occasionally a long ball from defence as a pass to a forward player will catch out the opposition. That is not route one, it is variation.
Some of our counter attacking football was quite brilliant, but the fact is that a counter attack requires the opposition to be in our half!
Norwich are similar to us in that they do not have prima donnas and they all work back and cover each other. This has been more apparent with Cork in the team and it has meant that Lallana and Puncheon have seen what Cork does and have followed to suit.
Saints have become a more cohesive unit with Cork cementing the team together and allowing Scneiderlin to roam more.
Bringing on Davis as a substitute is tightening the defensive aspect late in the game, I hope that Ward-Prowse is able to learn from the sides watching and taking note.
All of us supporters were posting that we needed reinforcements in January when we lost a few games, now we have won a couple that call has quietened a little.
If we were to purchase new players, who would drop out?
I haven't seen a weak link.
Plus out kelvin and boruc with a premier keeper in, but give gazza playing time too. At least 1 premier experienced Center half and left back, fox out. Again bring in premier league left back but still give shaw his playing time.
Constant strengthening will lead to long-term success. Today's best player maybe looking over his shoulder in a couple of years time.
I would sell sharp, gully and Barnard and bring in 1 class forward.
Once we get to a certain level we can gently tinker, but IMO we need to off load a few and raise quality not quantity.

Throwing silly money at new signings beyond a sensible budget can't always buy lasting success but it can all end in tears.

i think its most important to get cover for cork, and then a good quality cb.
steeeeeve should go boruc should never have come and sharp or hammond might have their loan turned into a permanent move.
