A bit of a transition period, loads of "new kids" on the block, they are all on a steep learning curve to get up to speed.
I get that, but if you achieve your primary objective you should win the odd game....otherwise I suggest you are doing something wrong or recruiting badly.
I guess they disnt consider him match-fit to start a PL game, after recovering? Who knows. Strange look though!
Not yet it's 5 - 1 Lulu hat trick 77 mins Finished 5 - 2. https://www.southamptonfc.com/news/...c-vs-manchester-city-premier-league-2-2020-21
Sweet child o' mine! I don't know what's stranger; the academy winning a game, or the first team being top of the league.
Yep, it's a much bigger risk to start a PL match, Ralph probably thought he let him build his match fitness at the lower level.
