Kelvin Or Bart For The Last Game

Will Nigel Adkins give Bart a game.

One of the high points of Saints season has been the qualty of player that they have in reserve in all positions and that includes in goal where Bart Bialkowski has had to spend all of the League season watching from the sidelines.

However Saints fans have known that should he have been called upon he would have been as good as most keepers in the division, as was shown not only by his appearances in the cup matches but in the spellhe played last season when Kelvin was injured.

With promotion in the bag under normal circumstances it would be nice to give him this game to reward him for his patience and dedication and so that he could say he did play a little part in the season, a look at the footage from Plymouth showed how pleased he was for us to clinch promotion so there is no doubt he deserves it.

But there is one small problem and that is Kelvin has played all of the league games so far and would surely want and deserve for that matter to make it a full set.

He has played all 46 for us once before, two years ago when we were relegated and im sure that he might feel that doing the full set in this season is finishing the job.

So given those circumstances starting Bart might be very unfair on Kelvin, however perhaps there is a compromise, perhaps after playing Kelvin for the first half, depending on how the game is going, Adkins could bring on Bart as a sub, either at half time or in the second half, some would perhaps laugh at this idea, but it would be a fitting reward for, in terms of league debut for the club, our longest serving player.
