    This week it’s Huddersfield who visit the south coast, high on confidence after a 4 – 1 win away to Watford. They scored 4 in the process, despite not managing to score a goal away prior in over 700 minutes. However, like us, they lost 2 payers in the process. Huddersfield are very up and down this season with draws rare and the match will very much depend on what Huddersfield turn up. They will be looking to overtake Watford and break into the top 10 with a win here.


    Last meeting: Huddersfield 0 – 0 Southampton



    Team news:
    Southampton: Cedric confirmed out for several matches after sliding into the sign boards, while Bertrand may also miss out after nonchalantly going off with a pulled hamstring against Chelsea. Sims has returned from injury, but with only 45 minutes of u23 football under him, will not be available for selection.

    Huddersfield: Kachunga, who impressed against Watford, is injured while Hogg is banned after picking up 2 yellows.



    Huddersfield strength: Shooting from outside the box
    Southampton weakness: Conceding to shots from outside the box.

    Southampton Strength: Winning possession.
    Huddersfield Weakness: Losing possession.


    VM’s inevitable conclusion: Southampton dominate possession before losing the ball in midfield and concede to a long shot at the death.
    1 – 1



    Interesting fact: In a week, Huddersfield have scored 7 goals. That is compared to a total of 9 for the rest of the season combined.

    I think we should sign Kachunga. I have no idea where he plays or whether he is any good, but he has a great name. :D

    Just tossed a coin to see if we lose or win....no option for draw. Hey, heads indicated that we would win. And that is as good as any analysis of form or reading of sheep's entrails. A win it is....no argumentso_O

    We need to be brave, start hard and fast. Don't let them have a glimpse. Match their effort levels & the points are ours.
    If we don't do that, then this will be christmas 1998. I hated that one.

    Lemina for Romeu.

    Is Bertrand confirmed out? That's a blow.

    Main problem is I'm not sure I like Prowse being that defensive. He got in a bit of trouble v Chelsea after Cedric went off. Maybe Pied.
