BMM being rested or injured, or just left out? I definately think Philbin has a much bigger impact coming off the bench then stating Jason Clark should start at loose.

Well on Monday I saw him as I was coming out of Tesco Car park, I let him across the crossing (didn't realise it was him at first) and he hobbled over it, I did say to the missis when I got in that I saw him and he looked scoobed.

It's about time J Clark put a big shift in and made a big impression.

I know he, quite rightly, gets plaudits for doing the hard grunt work that goes unnoticed but so do Hughes & Ben C and they invaribly do 80 mins.

Clark at loose, roll your sleeves up and put it about son, Philbin off the bench.

I've seen Jace go tackle ×3/4 on the bounce more than once....and Davis too.

Agree with this,I always think Philbin has more impact from the bench, I only put him at loose in my prediction because that is what Price keeps doing.

It isn't up to Jason Clark if he starts or comes off the bench. If he was asked to do 80 minutes, he would do it no problem.

I don't think J Clark is an impact player, Philbin is. I'd always prefer him to start and Philbin from the bench.

Think Clark has been a little underused this season but quite happy with his performances.

Well may aswell not bother turning up now, Thaler is the ref so it will be all about him.

This is where Westwood's exile and (especially) Livett's loan make no sense to.me.

With BMM unfit (again) and Akuola still not putting a long stint in, our main footsoldiers on the bench will be Davis and Philbin. Both fine players but I'd prefer a bench of Philbin, Davis, Akuola, Westood/Livett.

Regardless, Saints will be most vulnreable when Walmsley is off the pitch and.most potent when he is on it. We need to make sure we have the right players on the pitch to handle both scenarios.

Will we miss Ratchford more than they miss Roby?

Whats wrong with Ben Westwood is he out of favour or injured I would have thought this game would have been tailor made to put some added mongrel in the pack.
