Long looks for goals as Saints stars hit the road
Show/hide article…
Shane Long is tonight expected to lead the line for Republic of Ireland as he tries to play his way into goalscoring form.
The Republic are suffering a significant bout of injuries, meaning that Long is likely to have to figure as Martin O’Neill’s team start their World Cup qualifier double-header against Georgia and Moldova.
Long is one of 15 Saints stars that have departed the club for international duty, with seven of them potentially in action over the course of today.
Long is without a goal in 12 games for club and country so far this season, and desperate to get on the score sheet to kick start his campaign.
Ireland launched their Group D campaign with a 2-2 draw in Serbia last month, but striker Daryl Murphy, whose late strike secured a point in Belgrade, heads a lengthy list of players who will either definitely miss or remain doubts for Thursday night’s visit of the Georgians to Dublin and the trip to Chisinau which follows three days later.
O’Neill said: "A reasonably decent friend of mine who knows nothing about football spoke to me a few days ago and he mentioned, ‘If you can put six points on the board…’. I nearly throttled him.
“It’s not like that. These games are difficult for us.”
The level of difficulty has risen markedly in tandem with a casualty list which looks likely to rob O’Neill of several players.
O’Neill added: "It would help to have fit players. It’s not great, the quick turnaround - we fly out the next day to Moldova. But you have to curse your luck and get on with it.
"It’s a hard game for us, I don’t see it any other way. The two games we had with them were really difficult matches. We have to try to win the game.
“Late on in the game against Austria they put on immense pressure and with the problems we have here, we just have to cope with it, get on with it and play really strongly to win.”
Kicking off the Saints related action today is Curacao international Cuco Martina, who has a Caribbean Cup qualifier against Antigua & Barbuda.
James Ward-Prowse, Nathan Redmond and Jack Stephens could feature for the England under-21s against Kazakhstan, though Matt Targett sits out with a minor injury.
Maya Yoshida is in Japan for a World Cup qualifier against Iran, while Dusan Tadic hopes to be in the Serbia side for a World Cup qualifier away to Moldova.

Is Olomola next off the Saints conveyor belt?
Show/hide article…
EXCITEMENT is building around what future emerging striker Olufela Olomola will have at Saints.
The 19-year-old hit the headlines this week when he scored Saints Under-23s’ Checkatrade Trophy winner at League 2 club Colchester.
As Martin Hunter, Saints’ technical director, pointed out, each player develops at their own speed.
Every youngster is different, some “are going to take longer than others” he says.
Academy man Olomola is growing at his own, very rapid, rate despite the tribulations he’s faced during his early career.
There were murmurs around St Mary’s that a first-team debut should be just round the corner after he was surprisingly named on the bench against Sunderland last March by Ronald Koeman.
But, although he’s yet to make his first appearance, those murmurs have turned into a notable buzz of excitement at what might be the next top talent to roll off the academy’s conveyor belt.
The London-born forward, who grew up in the north west borough of Brent, arrived at Saints two years ago after spending his early playing days as a trainee at Arsenal.
At that point in July 2014, he had, surprisingly for a 16-year-old, just spent a season battling back from a hip and groin injury.
But Saints signed him up on a two-year scholarship deal at Staplewood, batting away interest from West Ham and Newcastle in the process.
A whole term out on the sidelines so early in a career could have been costly.
However, Olomola, with the help of Saints’ medical team, was able to bounce back.
His final year at the Gunners he admitted was “hard” and “frustrating” but it hadn’t broken his spirit and was made captain of the under-18s after making impressive early progress at St Mary’s.
The explosive striker, who is also proficient in wide attacking areas, spent the opening months of last season in the under-18s, but was moved up after the first few months of the season to the under-21s.
He was then named on the bench against the Black Cats.
Olomola returned to the youth ranks after that experience and signed a two-year professional contract in May, stating at the time he doesn’t plan to “rest on my laurels” after getting a glimpse of life in the Premier League.
He has now got the attentions of St Mary’s chief Claude Puel.
There’s little surprise that Hunter called for him to keep his feet on the ground after capping off a superb week, which saw him appear twice in Puel’s matchday squad – even if he never made it off the substitutes’ bench, with a superb goal at Colchester.
Although not yet appearing for Saints’ first-team, Olomola travelled with Puel’s side to Israel last week, sitting on the bench at Hapoel Be’er Sheva and followed it up by doing the same at Leicester City on Sunday.
That alone is a notable step for the youngster.
His presence in the squad has been enough to begin talk of when exactly Puel might turn to him as a genuine option.
It might not be far away, especially with the jam-packed fixture list Saints face.
That hurdle from academy, to the bench and finally on to pitch must seem very daunting for a young player.
Those experiences and familiarity with the players and staff of the first-team should make that moment when he is called to come on less intimidating.
Olomola’s style of play is exciting to watch, he always wants to make things happen.
He likes to use his pace to run at defenders, while his muscular physique and low-centre of gravity makes him a very tricky customer .
As Hunter said at Colchester: “He’s doing very well, but he needs to keep his feet on the floor.”

Redmond aiming for Shearer record
Show/hide article…
Nathan Redmond is tonight hoping to another step towards breaking Alan Shearer’s all-time England record.
The Saints forward is expected to be named in Aidy Boothroyd’s England under-21 side to take on Kazakhstan, with a win enough to send the Young Lions through to next summer’s European Championship finals.
For Redmond there is an added incentive, as he chases Shearer’s record goals haul for the under-21s.
Saints youth system product Shearer scored 13 goals for England under-21s, the same number as Francis Jeffers, with the pair leading the all-time charts for the nation.
Saido Berahino is tucked in behind with ten, and then comes Redmond on nine, alongside Darren Bent, Frank Lampard and James Milner.
Though Redmond, an £11m summer signing for Saints, is 22, he qualified for the under-21s at the start of the two-year cycle for the Euros, meaning he is eligible to represent the team up to and including next summer’s finals, should England make it that far.
They are in pole position to do just that ahead of the double header against Kazakhstan and then a home fixture with Bosnia and Herzegovina next Tuesday.
Though he might be stretched to complete enough games, Redmond will also have an eye on becoming the most capped England under-21 player of all-time.
Should he feature in both of the upcoming games over the next week, he will move into joint second place with 33 caps. James Milner leads the way with 46 caps.
Fellow Saints star James Ward-Prowse is expected to captain England under-21s in their crucial games, while Jack Stephens was a late call-up to the squad.
Matt Targett will be unavailable for the Kazakhstan game through injury, but remains with the squad as they hope he will be fit for the Bosnia and Herzegovina match.
Boothroyd is the interim manager, having stepped in with Gareth Southgate in charge of the senior side following Sam Allardyce’s exit after the Daily Telegraph’s investigation into corruption in football.
The current Under-20 head coach insists he will have full control over team selection.
In February 2012 Stuart Pearce picked the side for a 4-0 win over Belgium while also acting as caretaker for the senior’s 3-2 defeat to Holland after Fabio Capello’s exit.
But while Boothroyd will speak to Southgate and take advice, he will still pick the side in Aktobe.
He said: "I guess it’s a similar situation to myself and Paul Williams, who has taken the Under-20s.
"The head coach knows all the players and has worked with all the players but in the end Paul will pick the team that plays and I will pick the Under-21s team.
"But I would be a fool not to go and have a chat with the guy who has been working with them for two years.
“We work very closely anyway so I know what’s in his mind and he knows what’s in my mind in terms of players. There won’t be much change. I’m not coming here to shake things up because it works so there is no point in trying to fix it.”
Boothroyd will also manage the team for the visit of Bosnia at Walsall on Tuesday, their final Group 9 game, with England top and two points clear of Switzerland with a game in hand.
