Southampton FC face injury crisis ahead of Johnstone's Paint Trophy final

More stories about: Johnstone's Paint Trophy
-
- By Adam Leitch » Chief Sports Writer
Alan Pardew says Saints are facing something of an “injury crisis” ahead of their trip to Wembley on Sunday.
Morgan Schneiderlin is the latest injury doubt for the Johnstone’s Paint Trophy final after he came off at half time in the 3-2 win over Hartlepool at St Mary’s last night with a tight hamstring.
Michail Antonio, Wayne Thomas and Adam Lallana also have question marks hanging over their fitness while Radhi Jaidi, Lloyd James and David Connolly are also struggling to be fit enough to be considered for a start.
On top of that Jason Puncheon, Dan Seaborne, Jon Otsemobor and Lee Barnard are also unavailable because they are cup tied.
Pardew admitted that someone who has hardly played all season, like Simon Gillett, could yet get a dramatic nod to be in the team.
The likes of midfielder Paul Wotton and defender Chris Perry could also be in contention, and even 16-year-old Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, who has made just one sub appearance for the first team, could be challenging for a start.
Pardew said: “I said to Morgan at half time that he and Jose were the only players playing, but he had hurt his hamstring so we’re sweating on him a bit for Sunday.
“We’ve got a little bit of an injury crisis coming up to this final.
“Radhi is still struggling, Lloyd is struggling really, he’s not 100 per cent.
“Michail Antonio looks like he’s a doubt, David Connolly is not quite right, Wayne Thomas is on crutches.
“We’ve hit an injury crisis at a bad time for us if I’m honest because this is the nuts and bolts of the season and we have four or five players not available.
“We now fall back on the sprit of the squad which has been strong.
“I pay tribute to the players I inherited here who haven’t lost their focus – Simon Gillett has probably got a chance of playing on Sunday and he hasn’t really been given a chance by me.
“This is how football works out sometimes.”
Speaking of Adam Lallana, who missed last night’s game with a groin strain, Pardew added: “He was injured.
“I hope he won’t be injured Sunday – I’m expecting we’ll have a few more Saturday morning but we’ll see.”
He added: “We have a few players missing which gives an opportunity to our squad players who have had a terrific attitude.
“It’s funny how it might fall on the plate of somebody who hasn’t really featured much and I have no problem with that.”
Gillett has only made two sub appearances in the league all season.

Who will provide his ammunition?
There is part of me that says injuries gives others an opportunity to stake a claim - but on the otherhand where's the team understanding with all the absentees?
The mind games are working on me - I was quite confident about Sunday during this build up - now I'm not so sure!
We need some big performances from some unfancied players on these pages - but let's face it they've not let us down so far this season when it comes to the crunch.
Paul Wotton Football Genius!

Wotton and Perry are two complete pros and I wouldn't mind seeing them start on Sunday - but I doubt they'd last 120 minutes each, so let's hope we can do the job in 90 mins!

Papa Weigo had a good game, and not one offside.
Really proud of the Saints fans, the apluse for the Hartlepool second goal was generous indeed. What other set of fans would have done that.

Its not a trophy worth celebrating is it?.
Surley the day out and the celebration of how our club is rising back up is more important.
I would happily swap the whole cup run for 6 points right now.
That said... We will win.. and win well.

I think Saints will win but after the 1st 20minutes of last night's game I don't think it will be as easy as we hope it will....and I think Saints fans should realise that we need to get behind the team from the start to finish at Wembley otherwise an upset could well be on the cards!!

So, having said that, I hope we get at them from the first minute and build up a big enough lead to let us enjoy the last half hour without getting worried.
AND, looking on the bright side, a few players get rested ahead of our next game, away to Brighton, and boy do we owe them for the defeat at SMS.

We are looking good for the future, but no harm in rewarding some of the loyalty that these guys have shown and I am sure their experience will not be wasted. When you have a run of injuries you have to go with what you have got, a mixture of youth and experience will hopefully do the trick.
Give our youngsters a go. I'd hate to see the likes of Wooton, Perry, playing. Doesnt matter if we lose this. Give the youngsters the experience.

The day of celebration DOES. as i said.
If we lose then we still have something to celebrate.
44500 Saints fans celebrating the fact we are in a final at Wembley, and we are in a great position finacialy.
But the JPT itself... not one to boast about is it?.

Thank you for your opinion and of course if that is how you feel about it fair enough, but I think you are in a minority, so I would ask you to think again, think "yes, it is worth winning " and when we do it, see how much better you feel about it? Whatever, enjoy the day and drown your sorrows if the unthinkable happens, it is only a game after all.

Can somebody please tell me the words of the Lee Barnard song being sung by the Northam last night - couldn't hear properly over in the Itchen.
IMO Chris Perry should play on Sunday, he has done well for the Club and always gives 100% when he plays and deserves his swan-song. Play-offs are still a possibility, lets just keep believing. It's great to be a SAINTS fan again, can't wait until Sunday.

franiow wrote:No but I did suggest the only way for Saints fans to maybe get a last minute ticket would be through Carlisle... Several back home in UK did exactly that. There was at least one looking at going from here. Sadly not this peasant class pauper.
On Sky, Carlisle chairman says they have sold tickets to fans from New Zealand. Whoops, this isn't our NZ fans is it?
To all the knockers that say or think this trophy is beneath them... speak for yourselves but this trip to Wembley is a fabulous hard earned respite for loyal fans to enjoy and cherish.
For those who belittle the hard working players that stuck at it and ticked Pards work ethic box on his clip board... A trip to Wembley is the ultimate reward for effort not something given away lightly.
That said Pards will not let a first team league player run out onto the hallowed turf carrying an injury.
A few shameful posts in this thread and I do believe the posters know it in their hearts. If you have no faith left yourself at least have faith in the sense of the management team.
To the vast majority of fans going to Wembley and to those that couldn't get tickets or can't afford the trip wow it's going to be great to stay up all night watching from NZ I wouldn't miss it for the world and I'll be here in the threads sharing and posting as we try to bring worldwide fans closer together. Cheers All.

Secondly, flags according to wembley regulation must be less than 1 metre tall, bottled water is banned, flasks (sorry chapel enders but its true!), cans... are all banned by Wembley, any sort of drums/musical instruments are also banned... not to mention, fog horns are banned! so to summarise! we arent allowed to bring anything that might create an atmosphere. The reason for all this? it could cause a 'nuisance' to other supporters (as quoted from wembley's official site). I only realised all this myself, and i'd already bought a fog horn for the game! (waste of a fiver!).
.
Maybe they should ban singing? that could be a nuisance as well to someone.

For anyone going to Wembley, some important information iv'e just read concerning things you cant take into the stadium, firstly, if your planning to take the term 'shoot the pompey scum' to another level, you cant do it at Wembley!. .

Just a thought.

I will also have the Saints Player on and running with audio as the tv feeds often don't start until the whistle.

I'd be glad if Gillet got the nod - he hasn't really let anyone down / done anything wrong and is a more than capable player. Good for him I'd say.
You Reds.
Simon didn't enthral at the end against Gillingham and had a shocker against Torquay and that was that.
Saints have moved on. He wanted to stay at Doncaster perhaps if they had the money he could have.
If he get's a chance at Wembley he's a very lucky lad indeed and should really get out there and excel.
Chris Perry is the one I feel for... I hope he gets on

saintrooty wrote:really good post Rooty mate.. totally agree.
just read the mail article and to me it really doesnt make that bad a read. Saints are really bigged up in it, and all our achievements this season highlighted. All it suggests is that Mr Cortese has very high standards so he has been unjustly berrated for it. All he has done is spoken the truth. We have'nt done well enough in the league-TRUE. before i get slated here I am not belittleing the teams progress this year but all NC was pointing out was the fact that we've dropped points in games we should have won at a canter. If he is up Pardews backside week in week out, complacency will start to dribble through the club. the lack of public praise for Pardew and the team keeps them on thier toes. This is a result of a pure business man at work and not a business man with a passion for football. No bad thing if you ask me. Football like business, is fuelled on results. If a business made a million one week then lost 2 million the next and so on, would they be told they are doing an amazing job??? translate that to points this season and I think you get what I mean. Mr Cortese is the man for us, Alan Pardew is the man for us, the 5 year plan is running along lovely if you ask me. I really think that NC is sat in his office feeling very pleased with himself indeed and come the end of the season, whatever happens, Pardew will get a very private pat on the back but also a school report card scenario of "c'mon, you can do better"

Anyway re: Gillet that would be Doncaster of the Championship and a little futher back Blackpool - also of the Championship. Both teams that - allegedly - would have taken him if they had the money.
I wouldn't mind earning $2-3 / week for not a lot; bit like Bridge when he was at Chelski!!
You can't really impress with cameo's I like what I've seen in the past and heard. Would be a bit like Baird in the Cup Final - apart from being at fault for THE goal! - didn't he move to / still @ Fulham?
Parallels me thinks.....

Recently in League 1 he was given another opportunity in which Saints won most their games. Bart is more confident and a better keeper now because of the new coaches etc. He is excellent at kicking, his distrubution is far better than Kelvin, he releases the ball alot earlier than Kelvin so that players are not marked. He is taller and stronger and going to be one of the best keepers in the world, people laugh but he was in goal when Poland beat Brazil 1-0 in the World Cup U20's.
He deserves to play in the final and as number 1 keeper!!
