Puel Out

Not at St Mary's after the opposition have travelled from Turin Looks dry enough when game is on this evening

Thought this match deserved its own thread with a good crowd of around 7,000 expected at St Mary's for the game. Chance to see some of the young lads who have been doing well and scoring regularly Can play a couple of older players if the club want to, perhaps Ramsdale will get a run out Juve could have next gen Baggio or Pirlo playing for them https://www.southamptonfc.com/en/news/article/matchday-information-southampton-u21-vs-juventus-u21

Nice draw at least on of them will make the 2nd round proper and just a game away from a potential trip to St Mary's, how good would Sholing v Saints be for a 3rd round tie

West Ham have a better team than us and should be clear favourites to win the game, especially with injuries to our best players currently. That said, we have better players than Bolton and failed to beat them at home so you never know Travel in hope and see what happens on the day. We even got a draw there in our dismal Premier League season , I'd definitely take a point if offered now

Flynn unlikely surely? in his protective boot yesterday

Depends which West Ham side turn up, but we'll need big improvements, Jander back would help hopefully JWP should be up for it

Decent week, 7 points without playing that well in any of the 3 games really Disappointing today Mitigation: Injuries to key players, Larin hasn't looked right since international break, Downes out and Jander still not properly fit Bazunu return always felt likely to end like this , criminal we didnt test him properly. Missed chances And finally, its Bolton Wanderers, the football Gods decide we shall not beat them , dont @ me MLG about past record having nothing to do with current team, in football these things work in mysterious ways and they have been blessed once again not to lose at St Mary's

Cant disagree with that, but best we have available right now, two academy graduates nice to have at least , think its good for Bragg to get another game so soon , put the skates game behind him

Can we please refrain from smug posts like this until teams have actually lost ffs

Was hoping it would be a draw, wolves still picking up points without playing well

Did it last season with mine, they arrived just before 11am for a 3pm kick off. (Got loads of pics / autographs then went for some lunch)

Sales look good for Preston and West Brom, two tricky trips in the space of a few days. Both on open general sale so hopefully shift a few more between now and the games

I dont know but its usually 3-4 weeks before, so expect mid-November, will be a popular trip but Cardiff do give a decent allocation, 3300 last time we went so hopefully same again , big boxing fight in Cardiff that weekend so not ideal for anyone after a hotel to make a weekend of it
