Which paper?

Except hes no more of "Ozzie test and SOO star" than Phil Bailey was and look how we took the mickey out of the pie eaters

You need to reserve judgement on him.....we've had a real mixed bag as have most clubs. You get ...



The ones that 'need a year to settle in' ....then come good

The ones that 'need a year to settle in' ........and never ever come good

The ones that come over here with big reputations..and fail to deliver

The ones who get 'home sick' ....and bugger off early

The ones who are class and you count down the days til they go home hoping they'll extend their stay



I'm sure we can all think of example players to fit the bill for most categories.



Have to say I'm impressed with saints this year..missing a lot of players in key positions and playing real well. Your 'big' names are really standing up...I just wonder how long they can keep doing it with so many out.

Hopefully the missing will start to return soon. We got Perry (and Eastmond) back last week, and Flannery is due back this week (but we lose TP for the week!). In theory at least, all of the missing bar Clough and Pryce should - and that is only a should - be back within the next three weeks. Of course, some more could join the absentees in that time ... but hopefully not.

I can see the team for the Leeds match at the start of June being close to full strength (unless there's more injuries!)
