What do we need chaps? I’m hoping for a win and some new blood in the side. Will it be another turtleneck for Rubes? I’d maybe like to see 433 but I expect we will stick w 4222.
It shows how little interest there is in the Saints when Saintsplayer only has 4 viewing options yet Burnley v Fleetwood has 6. Selles is promising rotation but a strong lineup. Fingers crossed we put in a decent performance. Is the draw for the QF after the Spurs game?
Strongest team possible. A confidence-building, dominant performance, with wave after wave of attacks. Four or five goals to the good by the end. The January signings showing us why we spent money on them. Alcaraz pulling strings, Onuachu scoring a couple, Sulemana tying defenders in knots. And then Ballard and Doyle on for a large part of the second half. But I expect we will get beaten. AMN will get in Beddie's way, Beddie will trip over and fall into Bazunu, young Baz will flap his arms and miss the ball, Salisu will slice the clearance into Walcott's face...
We will win 2-0 is my prediction, won’t look much good but ultimately will be too good for a League 2 team
I was enjoying that read until the last paragraph and then a weird feeling came back, THAT feeling which lurks closer to the surface than in the last decade.
I didn't know if there had been some fish puns already but I didn't want to trawl through the whole thread.
Grimsby have beaten four higher league teams to get here and that includes Luton. They will be up for this so if Southampton rotate they need to be on it.
Grimsby Team News Manager Paul Hurst confirmed earlier this week that Owen Gallacher will miss tonight’s match after picking up a calf issue in training. He joins Kieran Green in being ruled out through injury. January signings Mikey O’Neill and George Lloyd are unavailable after playing for their parent clubs prior to joining the Mariners on loan, but Tom Dickson-Peters and Josh Emmanuel are eligible for the fixture. John McAtee returns to cup availability after missing both matches against Luton Town due to being unable to play for his parent club. Striker Ryan Taylor made his third consecutive appearance from the bench, coming on for the last ten minutes, and will hope to continue his comeback against our Premier League opponents. Recent weeks have seen Jordan Cropper and Otis Khan step up their returns from injury with the manager confirming that the latter will travel with the squad to Southampton.
Well if they managed to beat the team who were statistically the best in Europe then what hope do we have?
