Pardew: Saints can clear Dons hurdle

20 October 2009 15:33
Saints have won their last three League One matches, hitting 10 goals along the way, to wipe out their 10-point deduction and move off the bottom of the table. The third-placed Dons visit St Mary's on Saturday and Pardew is looking for his side to record their first win of the season against one of the so-called 'big teams' in the division. "The progression of the team is good and we've got strong ammunition on the bench and throughout the squad, so on reflection it's been a very good period for us. But it's only a small timeframe so it must continue," Pardew told Saints' official website. "We're coming up against a team in MK Dons who are really fighting for the top two places. They're a good team and they're going well, and they're in the sort of form that could unsettle our run. "We've had mixed performances against the big teams and not had a win yet, so that's our next hurdle to clear."
