Same Place ! Same Side !

Assuming everyone is fir for the visit of Norwich then Nigel Adkins has to go with the same side that beat Newcastle so well.

Its a no brainer for Saints boss Nigel Adkins if everyone is fit, keep a winning side and more of the same thats seen them pick up six points in the last two games, continuity is the name of the game for the visit of the Canaries who will be a different prospect that the pitiful displays put up by QR & Newcastle.

However even if Saints win the manager has some serious thinking to do for the trip to Liverpool on Saturday, as good as Saints have been in the last couple of games, the Premier League is all about being proactive rather than reactive and to be blunt, althouigh Saints are a little better organised and confident now, the same problem down the flanks when we are on the back foot is likely to rear its ugly head if we are not careful.

When you travel to places like Anfield, even if its not the same place it once was, you are going to spend a lot of time defending and when you have players coming at you with the pace of the likes of Raheem Sterling, you have to have players who will track him back, the line up Saints have put out is ideal when you are attacking but not when you have to defend against a side that is quick on the break.

So more of the same against Norwich and then on Saturday Nigel needs to show he has learnt his lessons from our babtism of fire.
