Video on twitter of team arriving. All just walked in without looking at fans...Kelv only one to stop and sign autographs...part of his team captaincy, but good nevertheless.
Interesting team selection, Chambers starts. Looks like anyone who might not be completely fit isn't being risked (except maybe Shaw).
@SouthamptonFC: #SaintsFC team vs #WBA: Boruc, Chambers, Fonte, Lovren, Shaw, Wanyama, Schneiderlin, Ward-Prowse, Lallana (c), Rodriguez, Lambert.
@SouthamptonFC: #SaintsFC substitutes vs #WBA: K. Davis (GK), Clyne, S. Davis, RamÃrez, Cork, Mayuka, Hooiveld.
Boruc Cumbria Fonte lovren shaw wanyama Schneiderlin JWP Lallana Rodriguez lambert Strong line up. No surprises with Yoshida and Ramirez on bench after heir long trials but surprised Guly not in there somewhere after decent pre season
can't believe JWP is starting ahead of cork and Davis. Adds nothing much other than running, fair enough if the two have knocks but otherwise it's a very poor selection based on all the times I have seen JWP. In fairness as the advanced midfielder he might have a bit of room to make an impact but I have never seen him look like threatening. Pleased that Fonte starts ahead of Hooiveld, I rate him as our 3rd best.
For anybody looking for streams i've come across this (looks like a remake of firstrow) time will tell if it's any good or not http://neolive.eu/ also some people have told me to use a proxy search engine and firstrow will appear but only problem is it'll be very laggy as anything via proxy is.
Hmm interesting team. Look forward to seeing wanyama and morgan together and also see how chambers does
Shaw's ligaments clearly have miracle recovery powers. Interesting team though, hoping JWP impresses. Also happy to see Fonte in.
To be fair no one has seen JWP in training this week. We do know from pre season videos that he is a real Threat on set pieces.
