Match Day Thread Southampton v Derby County FA Cup Round 3 Replay Wednesday 16th January 7:45pm

He'll always be a skate to me.

 

Harsh

 

But fair I'd say?

 

the 3 away teams won last night. Just an observation and a warning not to think it will be easy Saints!

 

Just means it is time for a change.

Is what id play tonight. Rest bednarek and Romeu ready for Everton. With Ings and Bertrand hopefully back for that game too, real chance of another 3pts.

 

We got this. I'm going to find a pic of Lamps.

 

Just got off the Derby team coach. I disgused myself as the coach operator for the drive.
Basically their plan tonight is to run up and down the picth and pass the ball about, be a bit more direct and use the flanks.
they bemoaned missing that chance right at the end of the first game though.

 

Frank told me he was glad they missed that chance, because they've not been on tele since the Play offs!
True story bro. No pliers intended.

 

Following a no confidence vote in the FA Cup at the BBC they have decided to show re-runs of Andy Pandy and The Magic Roundabout instead of losing all their viewers by hosting a Saints v Derby reserve game in a prime time slot

 

This game will have a big following. Prem/Champ fans, Relegation watchers, Promotion followers, Austrians & Christine Bleakly fans........and everyone else avoiding Brexit!

 

And what'll you say to your 'persuasive' mate if we lose tonight based on a cock up of a VAR shambles, eh, eh ???

 

He can kill with a smile, he can wound with his eyes
He can ruin your faith with his casual lies
And he only reveals what he wants you to see
He hides like a child but he's always a skate-man to me

(Dedicated to the man who won't reply)

 

I'll tell him he's driving to Manchester to make it up.

I really hope it's not needed tonight though, was farcical at Leicester.

 

Anyway, excitement building for this now. First night match in January since Brighton last year and a good chance to get ourselves in a cracking FA Cup tie with a good shout of reaching last 16 too.

 

I have seen enough to think we will be fine. I would rather ensure a win tonight and progress in the cup. I took my 9 yr old to Wembley for the semi and that is an occasion he will always have. Hate the way the FA cup is dismissed by all for the Holy Grail of 40 points for another year of struggle

 

Feels like there will be goals. A little quality lacking, lots of desire, chuck in a few mistakes.
Unusual for me, but I'm doing a score prediction of 3-1. Always 3-1.

 

Lets put 2007 to bed.
