Ade Gardner and Clough would have played in this game if they would have been still here ?

(can Cloughy play against us on Monday?)

Cant the squads be changed? Maybe is a ploy by NB regarding Amor and Swift. I didn’t see Swift pick up an injury against Cas. Does St Pete have more info?

LMS wasn't named in the squad last week and played at Cas, so the squad listings aren't necessarily accurate.

Having said that I don't think we'll see Amor on Friday not with the cup game next week. Brown probably doesn't want to take the risk.

Re: 19 man squad announced for Good Friday derby. : Wed Apr 16, 2014 3:39 pm

1. Jonny Lomax

9. James Roby
27. Greg Richards
11. Sia Soliola
15. Mark Flanagan

I'm banned from posting any team info, transfers etc. Dad's army laid the law down to me.

I see no reason to be a panic monkey about the 19 named. There is plenty in that team good enough to take on the goons. The back to me seem far better for Saints.

The young lads certainly manned up against Leeds, no reason why with less of them against a lesser team than Leeds they should not do it again.

A decent team, hopefully a decent outcome.

I see no reason to change my prediction of Saints 30 Wigan 14.

Wigan have not been blowing teams away. Just like Cas we will be a test for them.

wonder what the issue is with swift? unless its just squad rotation over easter

Re: 19 man squad announced for Good Friday derby. : Wed Apr 16, 2014 8:43 pm  

I'd doubt it's rotation. We gotta pick one game and go for it.
