We have no evidence to suggest that Helenius would contribute anything to a team under pressure, for which he has not played in months.

The team news for our game came up under the heading 'Championship Teams' on SSN.

Gulp!

we have evidence that the current players haven't won in 5 and have lost 4 of those games. It wouldn't hurt to try something different.

Cowans, Given and settled selections are all different.

I think Helenius and his agent making a point of saying he is 100% fit this week was their way of proving that the manager just doesn't like him. They probably both knew he wouldn't play and didn't want the fans second guessing as to why.

Lambert out blah blah blah

I hope you're right. I think having Helenius at the very least on the bench would have provided another option, something different. Maybe even a target for Albrighton.

Might as well push Bacuna further forward and play Lowton, it's not like we are overflowing with options. Ye gods, UTV.
Certainly my thought when I saw this.

Southampton have blooded so many youngsters. We loan our best ones out. Awful. But Up The Villa! 2-1 to us.

And if he had been on the bench it would be at the expense of Robinson so the right decision for me.

2 out of 3 away wins from Hull, West Ham and us would make a good day.
