No offense but there's probably 40 fixtures I'd rather we started off on than Southampton away! Long trip, difficult team to play against under Adkins, it's not exactly the ideal start for us. Then again, we've only lost one opening day fixture in the last 19 years I think, so it shouldn't be too easy for you lot either, especially if you've got quite a few new players still gelling into the team. Knowing our current board, we won't make more than three first team signings.
