Saints midfielder Simon Lappin looks to be out for at least another month. He has already missed the last few games due to injury problems, and will now undergo surjey on a troublesome knee.

The news that Lappin will be missing for even longer is a major blow, as he is our only out and out left winger. Robert Dunn has played there and done badly, though a fit Kevin Twaddle is rumoured to be able to play down that side.

Hopefully Simon's operation will be a success and he will be fit enough to play by the end of November.
