Wednesday, 17th Dec 2025 22:12

Saints manager Tonda Eckert has had a great start to his time in charge, but now comes the big one, Championship League Leaders Coventry City come to St Mary's, but who is fit and who isn't ?

There is some good news from Tonda Eckert ahead of the visit of Coventry City with the manager having this to say in his press conference as reported by The Daily Echo.

"Tom Fellows is available, he had a very good training session today. Looks good actually. Elias (Jelert) has trained for the first time beginning of the week.

"I think the Saturday game is a little bit early for him, but then we'll see if we manage to get him involved for Oxford, depending on how the next days go.

Mads (Roerslev) is supposed to be returning to training next week."

So good news for Saints supporters, Fellows absence was severely felt at Norwich and you just feel he offers something to the side that we cannot replace at present.

For the duration of his time with Saints, many of us simply forget he is even on the staff.
His injury record is one of the worst of any Saints player in living memory, and perhaps not his fault, because just when he got fit, something else happened. In a few games we saw what "might have been" but the reality is you'll never know how long he will remain fit.

Alan Shearer once quoted.."there is a lot of difference between being match-fit, and being fit enough to play". I'd like to think that RS will be fit again soon, because he actually looks like a CF ought to, but realistically he is unlikely to depose anyone in the present squad,and may only end up get minutes at the tail-end of games.
The crude reality is that, with time fast running out on his contract (where he has been well-paid), the likelihood of extending his time at SMS is neither desireable in squad terms, or financially viable in the long run. He will doubtless move on for a small fee, before his contract finally runs out, and then resume a successful goal-scoring career.. elsewhere.
