Saints Injury News For Trip To West Ham
Thursday, 27th Feb 2020 15:12

Saints have some good and bad news for the trip to the London Stadium to take on West Ham United on Saturday.

The good news is that Kyle Walker-Peters is back in training and should be fit to face the Hammers, but it is not good news for Nathan Redmond who will miss this game and probably at least the following three with the injury that has kept him out of the last two games, although with a two week break at then end of March it gives him a little extra time to recover without missing a game.

Ralph gave this update in this afternoon's press conference.

"So far it looks good," HasenhÃ¼ttl revealed, when asked about his squad selection. "Reddie is still out, so it will take maybe a little longer. But Walker-Peters is back in training.

"He's trained well this week. That's one more option we have.

"Redmond will take time, I think about one month. Hopefully not longer. Maybe after the international break he can play again, that is the schedule at the moment."

This means that Saints have an extra man in the squad from last week and it looks like Kyle Walker-Peters could return at left back to add some pace on that side of the field allowing James Ward Prowse to return to the centre of the park.

Saintaxidriver added 17:44 - Feb 27 Think you mean right back. Personally I would prefer JWP to stay there. He provides some consistensy we badly need. KWP looked better as the game went on but JWP is better and Smallbone looked good so keep him on!

I agree with... taxi driver....above, but if we are going to test KWP at RB he has to play at RB sometime and this game maybe less demanding than the next three / four upcoming.

I think we may see more of Adams this weekend and if KWP does start, we may have JWP back in midfield and have Will Smallbone on the bench until 2nd half.
....BUT then again remember the old adage.. never change a winning side.

Knees-up Mother Brown #24 by wessex_exile

After another weekend break to spend a very enjoyable afternoon with Spireite Craig watching the U’s get a well-deserved point at runaway leader Mansfield Town, followed by promotion back to the EFL for Chesterfield, the matchday Saturdays left before the end of the season are running out. So, given I’m away again next Saturday again to join 9,000+ for the visit of Planet Hollywood, I’m going to slip in a Good Friday special ahead of what will undoubtedly be two extremely important fixtures in deciding the fate of Colchester United. On Monday the family are arriving for their traditional Easter Egg Hunt (and obligatory roast dinner), so here goes for the visit of t’other Exiles to the JobServe. Come on Col U!

Following a disappointing result at Holker Street, exacerbated by yet more poor refereeing to deny us a clear penalty in the first half and award a non-existent free-kick to give the Bluebirds a first half lead (albeit the free-kick was an absolute blinder), and the inevitable postponement of the Donny game on Tuesday, the U’s now find themselves in the relegation zone. It is what it is, and with seven of our remaining 11 games at home, our destiny is still very much in our own hands – but everyone has to do their job, both on and off the (repurposed) pitch.

Thanks to a combination of postponements and a trip to Sutton following the U’s, it has been three weeks since the last blog, as the U’s prepare to face a very tricky opponent in Barrow AFC. Since they were voted out of the football league in 1972 (arguably thanks to Ronnie Radford’s screamer against Newcastle in the Edgar Street mud), the Bluebirds spent 48 years in the non-league wilderness before their return following the Covid-19 curtailment to the 2019/20 season. Some are surprised at how well they’re doing this season, but probably shouldn’t be – under new manager Pete Wild they finished a very respectable 9th last season and are clearly aiming to improve on that this time around. Mind you, we’ve got our own new management team in place too, and whilst wins are proving elusive right now, we’re certainly making ourselves a team hard to beat.

Bill Shankly once said that form is temporary, class is permanent. He was of course correct, but let’s hope never more so than today’s visit to Wetherby Road to take on the form side of League 2, Harrogate Town. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to say the Sulfurites have defied the expectations of most pundits, many tipping them to be in another relegation scrap this season. But, long-standing manager (and former player) Simon Weaver has turned things around, and they currently sit just two places and two points outside the play-offs. Weaver was rightly awarded the Sky Bet League 2 Manager of the Month for January – hope he looks after it, because it’ll be Danny’s soon.

February, and the U’s enter the most pivotal month of the season. Six games in just four weeks, with four of them against sides also in the bottom six. By March we should be either well clear of danger, or even deeper in the sh*t. With Danny Cowley’s U’s still unbeaten, and looking stronger game on game, I’m sure it’ll be the former, but first we have to do our bit to consign Steve ‘Sour Grapes’ Cotterill’s FGR back to non-league. After our shambolic 5-0 defeat at New Lawn, nothing would give me greater pleasure, even if it meant losing one of my closest awaydays in the process. What’s the excuse going to be today Steve – shocking pitch, faking head injuries, Mexican banditry or some other bit of sour-grapery bullsh*t?
