Match Day Thread Southampton v Derby County FA Cup Round 3 Replay Wednesday 16th January 7:45pm

I reckon this will go to penalties.

 

If we go out then it's #seasonover

 

Oh God I hope not

 

I may watch this game tonight #bestrongfran

 

I've got to apparently.

 

Just a small matter of a little basement battle left to pull away from...

 

Yeah I'm sure we'll be fine though which makes tonight all the more important.

 

I think we'll be fine as well. But do not underestimate the excitement of the coming twists and turns!

 

The amount of confidence that people have that we're not in trouble worries me. We're still only 1 point above the drop and very short of quality in several areas. I think we're in a good position to pull away from the bottom 3 thanks to Ralph, but we're very much still in the mix at the moment.

 

I'm confident but not enough to think we shouldn't make every effort to ensure our survival.

I'd be for rotating again today though the injury and ban list makes that difficult.

 

Simple answer to that - play three of them

 

2CBs worked fine until they brought Nugent on and went 442 and we were lucky they only scored 2. I still have the vision of Jack Stephens as the last defender charging forward and the ball sailing over him into a massive space. They didn't score from that one but I wanted to rip my eyes out.

The problem is, as you say, we only have 3CBs and I'm not sure we have a youth CB ready

I think we have to play Romeu, despite the obvious reservations. ... and according to him he gets better the more he plays so he'll just be better v Everton

 

Anyone know how ticket sales have gone?

 

Chapel shut, plenty left elsewhere. Derby took 2.3k but no idea if they sold it.

I'll hazard a guess at 15/16k.

 

On another note, anyone else have an awful feeling in their stomach about a certain skate called David and extra time?

 

they should let kids in for like £2.50 for these ones and parents £5 etc.
get the little ****s hooked on a life of nail bitting misery (and the odd highlight)

 

Minimum adult price of tenner in the cup.

 

Me too ..... my sense of duty has got the better of me and I’ll be in the Kingsland (wrapped up warm I hope) watching ......

 

I sent my mate a text this morning saying I wasn't sure if I fancy it etc. and got this in return... verbatim btw:

'**** off mate, you joking? You're willing to go to all these aways but gonna swerve St Marys after you've paid for it jus cos of ****ing VAR. Sort it out you stupid ****'

Guess that told me.

 

No! Firstly, he's a scouse, he hardly played for P****y (Sorry that's the Profanity filter on my mac), they tried to sell him as soon as he arrived, loaned him out most of the time he was there and he left after he had a fight with a skate. He's much more an ex Leicester player than anything else

and secondly, NO!
