Midfield duo sign new deals

The news has been met with wild indifference on most Saints sites. Brady was superb at the start of last season before fading as the months went on, while O'Donnell has been injured for most of the last two years. When fit, I think he's a decent enough midfielder but this is surely the final chance for both of them. If they don't have a relatively injury free season that sees them playing well then it's time to go.

Worryingly, this means all but one of last season's midfielders is now here for another year - and it looks as if Gary Mason will get a new contract too. So, the same ineffective midfield with no wingers. Doesn't inspire much confidence!
