Match Day Thread Saints vs Sheffield Wednesday - Saturday, November 8 - 15:00 KO

So, erm... we won? Here I am again then, winner stays on and all that

Will Tonda give us more to ponder or will there be solid links to a new, incoming manager before kick-off rolls around?

This game will be the first with Oriol Romeu back on the books - there's something I never thought we'd be saying when this week started - so there's potential for a rousing reception if he does get on from the bench

We won't get a better chance than this to clock up back-to-back league wins for the first time since April 2024, surely?

Over to you...

 

4-1 saints.

 

1-1

Wednesday are no mugs. Proving surprisingly difficult for other teams to beat.

 

Saturday 8th November 2025. Football League Championship
Southampton V Sheffield Wednesday . 15:00 ko.
Referee: Ruebyn Ricardo,
Assistant Referee: Robert Hyde,
Assistant Referee: Alistair Nelson,
Fourth Official: Farai Hallam,

This Referee is an "autograph hunter", 44 yellows in ten games, recently dished out 10 yellows and a red card in a Birmingham v Hull game.

 

Welcome to Oriol Yellow Romeu.

 

We may win, lose or draw this one. Or I may eat my head.

 

OR has gotta be on the bench at least & if/when he comes on, the roof will raise. Hopefully we’ll be in front at that stage too. Surely, we’ll be able to beat a side in admin & at home. Something for the home supporters to get excited about & for the long suffering band(s) playing in the Northam Fan Zone post match. There was virtually no one there after PNE. 10-20, so embarrassing.

 

Ooriiiiii oriol , oooriii, oriol, oooriiii, oriol
Oriol Romeu

 

No doubt we'll still play 3 CB's which will infuriate just about everyone in the ground.

 

The big O is back. He'll be getting a tune out of his teammates.

 

Will Still,
Will Tonda,
New manager to be Will….
Willing and able?

 

Nailed on home win surely!

 

I'm hoping the bookies think so too for my insurance bet

 

I reckon Sheff Weds will be 10-1 or greater TBH.

 

11/2 at Bet365, not great odds.

 

Worth a few quid

Think this is a strangely tougher game than it seems. If there’s one team in the league that epitomises the fight we need to show week in week out currently it’s the Owls & they will be right up for this. Really hope the lift of a fairly lucky 3 points, quality of Scienza / JRob / Arma & Romeu being back about will be enough for the players to see this one through.

Gonna go for a fairly scary 2-1 to Saints. Hoping for 4 at the back, but gut tells me it’ll be:

Bazunu,
Edwards, THB, Stephens,
Fellows, Jander, Downes, Manning
JRob, Leo,
Arma
