I went to an FA Cup 3rd Round match there in the late 60’s. Freezing cold, they went ahead, and Terry Paine of all people equalised with a header in the dying minutes. We thumped them at the Dell in the replay IIRC.
A week to go before the Eastleigh match and this looks to be the current active squad. GK McCarthy, Lis RB KWP, Bree CB Stephens, THB, ABK, Edwards, Wood, Taylor LB Manning, Meghoma, Larios MF Aribo, Alcaraz, Lallana WG SAA, Sulemana, Edozie, Dibling ST Armstrong, Stewart, Mara, Ballard Charles, Smallbone & Bednarek look like they’ve had extended breaks due to international duty. Midfield needs some new arrivals quickly, because apart from Downes any new signing will have to adapt to the system/style fast.

The Puma event for ballot winners is taking place tomorrow night and involves meeting some players but the rest has been left unconfirmed by Puma Would assume they are going to show/gift the new home shirt to those in attendance and then it'll officially launch on the Wednesday. If so, they have done very well to get all the way to Monday night without a leak
I've noticed Adam Lallana wearing number 10 in the training photos. I guess that does confirm Che definitely isn't coming back.
Revised active squad list ahead of Fridays friendly GK McCarthy, Lis, Lumley RB KWP, Bree CB Stephens, THB, ABK, Edwards, Wood, Taylor LB Manning, Larios MF Aribo, Alcaraz, Lallana, Smallbone, Charles, Downes WG SAA, Sulemana, Edozie, Dibling ST Armstrong, Stewart, Mara Bednarek is still away and I’ve not seen Sugawara in training yet. Still 26 players available(assuming match fit) - Will be interesting to see who plays tomorrow, assuming 22 players will be involved. Then out of the 28 who will be off to Spain? Will Fraser be added before then too?
One would think those who came back/started later (ABK, Sulemana, Smallbone etc) probably won't be involved.
Will the Eastleigh game be streamed? Was tempted to go but I think the game has sold out - certainly Saints tickets have.
I think this probably how we will look to line up tonight and going forward, I'd suggest that Smallbone instead of Camara in midfield. Add Ramsdale in goal and Broja up top and that looks decent.
