I suspect Brown would disagree, hence the young player of the year accolade.

Wouldn't surprise me if Swift decides to move on, can't be good being left out time and time again.

Jesus.

A 21 year old isn't an undropable first team regular yet and we all think he should just up sticks? We've made far better youngsters than Swift wait in the stands for their chance, and they were better as a result for it. Patience is a virtue

I suspect this is just a rumour and nothing else, as he's not exactly an 'established' member of the team, even though he was given the 5 shirt this season. He should be looking at the positives and the potential he has, not just expect a place in the side, it should be a long term view if he's committed to Saints. Just look at the other youngsters who are waiting their turn in our squad!!

Oh, here we go again. More comment on a player's 'attitude'. Last time fans started commenting on a player's 'attitude' the player's Mum felt she had to make sure those fans were corrected (see the article by said Mum in this month's Forty 20 magazine).

I am always surprised that the Mods allow comment on the attitude of players, based upon rumour and speculation.

If your referring to Saveilo, then I said for over 6 month the was other reasons.

Was I right about Gaskell ?


I know for FACT what's happening

Looks like he wants to leave to me.

Like I said at the start, disruptive but not looking like he wants to leave.

Also a much better defensive effort. Held his line until the man with the ball was wrapped up.

Notable that he and Percy were played on opposite sides of the pitch. Great performance from both players.

Percival looked the best we've had since Gidley tonight. I was very impressed, he can kick a goal too.

Looked very good tonight.

He gave Shenton a really tough time. That looked like a 'coming of age' performance to me.

Had a good game but Dawson will be back in probably regardless of his performance tonight.

I doubt it. You earn the shirt. I thought Dawson had done enough when he came in for swift to hold him out based on defense. But with Swift tonight he was as good as Dawson in defense, ergo he earns the shirt until he loses it.

He seemed keen on taking the ball in tonight but once when he had space to run he just froze.

He gets an awful lot of stick does Dawson on here. I like the lad, he's a safe, steady player and he works his backside off every game. He wouldn't be my 1st choice winger/centre but he's decent backup for injuries & poor form. He probably doesn't earn much on the cap either. Instead of slating him, saying he shouldn't even be in squad, never mind the team, let's be grateful for the way he's stepped in and done a job for us this season. No player should be undroppable. It's good that we've got lads like Dawson who are ready to step in, and that's part of the reason we finished top of the pile.
