Comings and goings

David Prutton completed his move to forest today, joining on loan til the end of the season (when his contract finishes). Arriving at St Mary's today was Marek Saganowski, on loan from Troyes. Hopefully he can add some experience to the young Saints attack. He wasn't signed in time to play against Wednesday, but he will be available for saturday's big game with Derby.

Team news for tomorrow is that Rudi Skacel is back and Dyer should also be available as the midfield injury crisis seems to be starting to ease. I don't know why Claus didn't play in the cup game (any help??) but hopefully he'll be back. I fancy saints for a comfortable home win, maybe 2-0.

Other results in the championship tonight were pretty damn good for saints. Apart from Derby who managed a 1-0 win at home to burnley, all Saints rivals who played failed to win. Preston went down 1-0 to colchester, birmingham lost 3-1 at HOME to southend (they seem to have the measure of the big teams, but noone else). With Stoke and Sunderland also failing to pick up maximum points. So a win for saints tomorrow night would lift them to within one point of third place preston and second placed birmingham (who have two games in hand). So this really is an important one to win, we really need to capitalise.
