We have all had a moan during our poor return of points of late but I have a hunch that we are about to explode into point grabbing action again. Tomorrow we face the Lions in the Cup which will allow us to flex our muscles as we prepare for yet another blue shirted invasion. This we will repel and then some as we show a return to form. Let's get at the them guys and gals and show the true Southampton spirit.
Im going tomorrow!! Cant wait! Do we know how many saints fans are going to be there? Lets all get behind the boys and hopefully we get a decent result!
This will be a chance to try out Lee (if clearance comes through by 12.00)...he's supposed to be fast and exciting according to Nigel, but Lee remarked that football in England was almost a different game to Japan. So hopeful, but we must be patient. Could be useful to give Lambert some match time. And Puncheon. Jos definitely out; Fonte on way back, but will Nigel risk him in this match. Millwall will give us a tough game, so let's hope our shooting boots are on. COYR
Anything but a replay. Looks like we'd be faced with three straight Tuesday evenings - starting next week vs Cardiff - if we do draw tomorrow.
Get Ricky on for the last 20 mins, just long enough to score the winner and put him right for Cardiff on Tuesday.
Would like to think Punch will be desperate to play. Can see him, Rickie and Lee san getting some time on the pitch. Possibly give Jose some time as well near the end. Wonder how close Chappers is to some time on the pitch.
Hadn't thought of that Chilco. Will make it a lot easier for Nigel to cover extra possible options for when needed.
Think we could make it three away wins on the trot. Would certainly be different wouldn't it. Win away and not at home is a bit different. en No idea who we will pick to play and will have to wait and see but have a feeling we will see some injured returning, even if only on the bench.
Got a feeling that we could see Lee come on and play with him to be honest. Clearance permitting of course.
Does anyone know how long Chaplow, Hoovield and Lallana are out for? could they be fit for the cardiff game?
