Injury news for Saints

[Brown@FFC]

Briggs out. Ruiz and Hangeland are doubts.

This, unfortunately, means that Duff will probably play.

[SmithyFFC]

Will probably need Duff to track back against Shaw, so not all bad news.

[BestOfBrede]

Hopefully Dejagah will get the nod!

[Southcoastffc]

Any news on Kacaniklic?

Is there just a slight chance that for just once, Ruiz will play back to back games for Fulham without getting injured or feeling tired. Seriously, this guy is really starting to wind me up.

[Big Martin Jol]

Not TOO worried about either of those.

Hangeland has been very average so far this season, and to my absolute astonishment I'd be quite happy for Senderos fill in alongside Amorebieta.

As for Ruiz, it's a shame but he's not fulfilling his potential out on the wing and I'd like to see Kacaniklic/Taraabt stake their claim for a place in the starting eleven.

nothing on Dejagah?

[Brown@FFC]

Dejagah is not injured, but is not 100% fit. So, why did he play Hangeland against Palace. Dejagah is more important than Hangeland.

[TonyGilroy]

Dejagah is more important than Hangeland.

Presumably on the basis that those who aren't playing are better than those who are and it's all Jol's fault.

[Deanothefulhamfan]

Duff would get the nod for me against a super attacking southampton side away from home....

Not too fussed about Hangeland, as he has been one of our worst performers this season.... If he is injured let him have some time to rest so he can be the important player he has been for ilus in the past.

That pesky captain's arm band would suggest that more than a few folks disagree with you.

I mean't to put that he has more of an impact on the game.

Such a harsh comment based on a gossip. Is it official at least?

Check the dog house.

In the League this season Ruiz has been unavailable only for the Chelsea game. He was on the bench for the first 2 and has featured in the other 5. He played in the last 20 consecutive games of the previous season and was injured for 9 of the first 18.

Harsh or ill-informed? You decide.

And asked to play out of position to fit the manager's system, which he does without complaint, and still turns in decent if unspectacular performances.

When he is played to his potential, I reckon he'll be brilliant.

And this isn't anti Jol.  The manager has been restricted since Ruiz was signed and has not had a lot of alternative options given how he wants to set the team up.

[Travers Barney]

Any news on Kacaniklic?

Hopefully he's in good health...maybe we can send him on loan somewhere this time where they may want to keep him...or better still sign him.

Never be good enough.

The comment is based on facts that the guy needs to be constantly wrapped up in cotton wool. Since joining Fulham, he has failed to adapted to the physical nature of the Premiership and if he's not getting knocked off the ball, he's getting mugged of it. Yes, he shows moments of brilliance, but it's hardly enough to warrant his 10 million quid price tag. Like Jol, how much longer will it take him to adapt, he's 29 next year!

Any news on Kacaniklic?

I'd be surprised if we see him for a while. When he was subbed off in the first half, I figured that was it for a long while. Jol does go off the youngsters quite quickly.
