Holmes on the mend for Saints

SAINTS winger Lee Holmes hopes to be back in action within a month, following a long injury lay-off.
The 21-year-old damaged the medial ligament in his right knee during the 4-1 loss at QPR in September.
Holmes, who joined the club on a free transfer from Derby in the summer, was confined to a leg brace for six weeks.
Earlier this month, he was given the all clear to step up his recovery.
Although not targeting a specific game, Holmes is pleased with how his comeback bid is developing and hopes to return in time to help Saints through the hectic Christmas schedule.
“It’s good, it’s coming on quite well really,” he said.
“I don’t really want to put an exact date on it yet, but the training’s gone really well.
“I’ve started doing all the mobility work now, so I’m hoping it will be sooner rather than later that I’ll be back playing.
“I’m hoping that I can be back and ready for selection in about four or five weeks, that’s what I’m aiming for, so we’ll just have to wait and see.

I would be more impressed by the journos if they got a statement from Rupert Lowe regarding Dave Bassett's comments on Talk Sport last night...
Come on Echo - what are you waiting for?? What does Wilde think of Bassett's comments???

Also the football played was not half as good as it is now. Yes, we have lost a few games, but the young lads are trying, something the players never did under that pair.

I feel awful about our position and financial affairs at the moment.
Lowe needs to come clean with the club and supporters and show us what he is putting into Saints rather than what he is fleecing.
He needs to lose his arrogancy and find some transparency.
End of the day we are Saints through and through. Keep the faith and hopefully things will improve.
