Congrats to all the Saintly players especial mention for Luther well deserved and he has earned his place ditto Dicko & Fodes on getting back in the squad. Time for other members of our squad to step up. But George N George P and Kahn away too is a bit scary I mean if Dicko and Chuka are away who is 3rd choice SH?
No great surprises but it is interesting that 3/4 of the squad comes from 5 teams and another 5 teams only provide 2 players between them. It would be interesting to add the depletion of the other 6 nations sides alongside this and then see who we play in the AI window.
Congratulations to all Saints picked we dont often get that many involved in the squad in one go
It does mean that fringe players like Nutley, Harrison A.Day,Denham,McMillan,Artemyev have to step straight in with hardly any first team exposure so far this season and only limited Wanderers
Oh and for the record I BLEDDY hate the money machine for the pink gin brigade that is the AI's
No other sport with the potential effect on outcomes in competitions would carry on playing during International dayes GRRRR

And Sarries!! Even though the AI s haven't started - that's what I hate about England call ups - no thought for the clubs who have major games in the Prem to play - suppose that's why we have the play offs!
