Thought it would be Bednarek rather than Stephens who got the rest, given that Jack recently had an enforced rest vs Watford. Looking forward to see how Vokins goes.
A few players looking to impress and a bit of fresh energy and maybe fresh ideas plus we have plenty of experience on the bench if needed.
For me this is must win. Ron's last run was the best form I'd ever witnessed, and we are on the cusp. If we can just grind some fluke tonight, it would mean the world. Bit nervous now, but still hopeful.
I'd like us to finish top half but I'm just going to relax and enjoy tonight, hoping that the young lads show up well.
This is a whole new side to Saints fans in general, and Not606ers in particular. We're not (very) nervous, and we're almost nonchalant about the team, formation and the opposition. Are we already on the beach? It's almost as if we're sure that a team set up by Ralph is a match for anyone. Long may it last!
If villa hold on against Everton, Brighton are only 3 points ahead of them and back in the mix. Could make them quite nervy tonight.
Frustrating that Brighton can stay full strength but we have to rotate. 2 extra days before this game and 1 extra after. I’m sure the commentators will be too busy mentioning the 9-0 to notice that though
