Match Preview;
Last time we played Southampton it was our fourth league game of this season, and resulted in our fourth straight defeat, 2-1, thanks to goals from Edozie and Adam Armstrong. Adam Armstrong has continued scoring, and is their top scorer, and the division's second highest scorer, with 12 goals. His goals have helped Southamton to 12 wins, 6 draws and only 4 loses this season, and they sit 4th in the table, securely in the playoffs but quite a way off 2nd place Ipswich. They are in good form though, having just beaten Blackburn 4-0 to continue an undefeated run of 14 games, stretching back to their game against Boro on Septmber 23rd.
As for us, a miserable away day at Sheffield Wednesday ended an undefeated run of four games, and prevented us from moving out of the relegation zone. Much debate on the previous matchday thread over the starting line-up, should we rotate the starting 11, or stick with the same, and our strongest, starting 11. With 4 games in the next 10 days I'm not sure it is worth trying to guess what the starting 11 is going to be, and who will be rested for which game...but I at least want to see the squad try and make some clinical forward passes. I've seen far too much passing across the midfield, or in front of the opposition defensive line, and it just gives the opposition time to get organised. We need to start using the pace and power we have in the squad to really go at our opposition and get in their faces. The slow and steady build up play just isn't working.
I'lll be over for this one, really looking forward to it, albeit pretty sure I'm going to freeze. Team news and manager comments to go up when on the official, and as always...
...COME ON YOU SUPER HOOPSA!!!
