    He joined on loan when we had loads of injures but now it seems to be so contested that I doubt he will get any game time whatsoever. We have Lallana and Puncheon as regular starters with Chaplow and de Ridder as back up, and if we switch to a 433 or 41212 or whatever you wanna call our formation against Millwalls then there's no real room for him if Lambert and Lallana are in the 'hole'.

    I feel that he's gonna be wasted here now when we could've maybe got defensive backup on loan (which we could still do I suppose)

    I wouldn't rule him out just yet, I think he may be in the squad on Saturday

    If he is good enough, he will be given a chance.
    Theres a lot of competition, any mistakes will cost dearly from now on. That can only help us.

    May get further chances. Nigels thoughts are surely: 1st, team results; 2nd, Saints players; and 3rd, loan players. Falque would get no games at Spurs, so he's bound to do better here.

    With the 5 sub rule I dunno. We have Hammond, Cork, Schneiderlin, Chaplow, Lallana, Puncheon, De Ridder, Falque all vying for 4 places which leaves 4 to go on the bench, but since we'll have Bart, Martin and a striker on the bench that only leaves 2 places - 1 of which would be used for a winger presumably, but Falque is very far down the order.

    Is it actually bad that've forgotten about him already?

    No, he's not our player. I'd much rather see Lallana, Puncheon, Chaplow, De Ridder and Guly getting games, as they are a part of our future. It's a shame for Yago, because he was probably hoping for some match experience, but I don't really understand what he's doing here.

    Woah...stick a 6 week injury on Lallana and suddenly he is right back in the picture. It's not just about the eleven.

    Lallana gets injured: still puncheon, de Ridder and Chaplow. Say Chaplow gets injured? Still got Puncheon and de Ridder, not to mention Reeves and Holmes. Unless there's a MASSIVE injury crisis he's not even getting a look in.

    Better to have him than not. He'll get plenty of chances if he goes back to spurs next season he may well get a few this season if players are injured or suspended.

    Reeves is a CM. Falque ahead of Holmes anyday of the week.

    The point I'm making is that on an average day he's not getting game time and only a massive injury crisis would allow him to play but if it reached that stage I'd rather change formation!

    I think that Reeves can play anywhere across the middle. I thought he was bought up as a LB?

    Wait till Sam McQueen and Omar Rowe break through. Another two possibilities.

    11 players on the field, lambert,lallana,sharp,davies,fonte and jos are starters. 5 places up for grabs with another 4 on the bench, its up to him to earn his place
