Oh my God. Gary Wheeler !

Is it wise to use up 50% of Gary's annual playing time on a friendly with Batley ?

Don't worry we're going to see loads of him right up until march when he gets a new contract!

Pity we wont see Beaumont. Whilst we're not expecting him to be a world beater, I think a few are wondering(hoping) if he's more than just a shirt filler.

Really pleased to see Gary Wheeler in a Saints shirt again. Best of luck to you Gary in the coming season.

He's got to get the shirt on without hurting himself yet

Echo the best wishes for wheeler. Whatever your view on him and his place in our squad, he's a young lad who has suffered a lot. Hope he finally manages a prolonged spell on the pitch - Saints would certainly benefit greatly.

Whilst we've all given up letting hope rest on Wheeler's fitness, it would be bloody wonderful if he now, all of a sudden, managed to stay fit. It would make a massive difference to us, given our problems at 6.
Until it actually happens, though, its just very wishful thinking.

I'm an optimist , come on Gary, shock us all!
