Saw Vokins as part of the first team training video posted yesterday. Think they’re also experimenting with Johnson as a left back. Wonder if Ralph considers games to be that important at this level compared to training regularly with the first team? Ramsay, Vokins, Jones not featuring for u23s recently, but unlikely to see minutes for the first team

https://southamptonfc.com/news/2019-02-14/preview-radhi-jaidi-southampton-fulham-premier-league-2 Radhi Jaïdi's main problem is having his best players taken away to bolster the first team squad.
Rahdi would obviously like to have his best team, but he knows that his main job is helping players develop and get into the first team (or have a career elsewhere). Seeing his players in the first team or training with the first team reflects well on him.
I don't bear Fraser any ill will...so happy to see him get a game. He needs to get his eye in if he is ever to recover.
I was going to ask the same thing. The only contact I saw was the keeper push our player away, with our player just leaning back in response to the push. Definitely no foul. Dreadful decision and the future safety of goalkeepers, at set pieces, is assured, if this is the next generation of referees. Cracking goal by Smallbone.
