We have a real South Coast Derby on our hands here.

Saints travel to Portsmouth this Tuesday in the Carabao Cup for the first South Coast Derby in 7 years.

We don’t have the best record against them recently but this is all going to change on Tuesday.

Forget the Bournemouth game, that was just getting the rust out off the system, this is the BIG one.

Let’s get at them!

My team:

McCarthy
Cedric Bed Yoshida Bertrand (please for the love of god)
Rom Hoj JWP
Redmond Adams Djenepo (also please for the love of god)

Prediction:

Win. Don’t care how it comes (preferably 4-1) but just win the bloody game.

COYR!

No Boufal? Seriously?
 
That is a good point. I want him in the side but don’t know who for. I mean maybe even jwp out for boufal. It’s atough call but I forgot Moussa is fit I want him in the team

Boufal does a fair shift going backwards as well as his attacking flair. Moussa has had 2 starts over here and nothing like the atmosphere will be at Krap Nottarf; I’d bring him off the bench if we need something later in the game. It also protects whatever this niggle he has is.

The real selection issues are around getting the defenders right.

A lot stronger that I would usually go for a cup game against lower league opposition (for obvious reasons), but still short of our strongest XI.

Ordinarily that would include me resting Adams (probably for Long). But Adams needs a goal badly, so he has to play. With Spurs and Chelsea up next, I will start to worry if Adams doesn't score against Pompey.
