Recent good form looks to have helped ticket sales, with a full away end will be good to get back to 31k + attendance if we can sell remainder in the Chapel end https://www.southamptonfc.com/en/news/article/limited-availability-remaining-for-qpr-clash

Not sure about that, if West Ham draw we'd need to win by 6 goals to go above them. I think Swansea, Wolves and Middlesbrough will all win so we need to keep up with them. There had been talk of QPR injury crisis last week but their 5-0 win means there can be no complacency with that

His goalscoring record is so good you'd have thought they'll have to give him so first team minutes soon or a decent loan in January, certainly a prospect. I went to a couple of random games at Reading last season where his brother Kelvin played , was a real handful for defenders , came into the hospitality lounge after the game to accept player of the match award and seemed like a good lad so young Princewill is following in his brothers footsteps

Makes complete sense when you think about it, we'll win the women's league in no time with Kylie Larin up front

Its great to see, there were some very smug arrogant Arsenal fans on the train back Saturday night after we played West Ham, delighted to see them take a beating from the mighty Fleetwood Town

Yeah and West Brom and Sheffield United are also two away grounds we've had a decent record at. Looking at ticket sales we're taking good numbers to WBA next Tuesday, about 2200 sold, hopefully shift a few more before the game

It is and QPR are currently on same points as us so a bit of a 6 pointer in that regard. Two very tricky games in the space of a few days, WBA looking like a tough away trip the following Tuesday, Tonda might be less likely to make changes with a two week international break coming up giving most of the squad time to recover.

We've beaten QPR 6 in a row

QPR have sold out the full 3,008 away end , should make for a decent atmosphere, quite a few home end tickets still available particularly either side of the away fans

Some of them were.comedy gold, I was in upper tier for the first time there, view wasn't too bad, one Hammer in blue jumper, beard, flat cap totally lost it towards the end . Surprised how many West Ham had left by the 85th minute, always felt like they had a chance to get back into it and they very nearly did, we somehow went from 92nd min controlling at 3-1 to last ditch saves in 95th min to hold on. All in all top day out despite the train problems and heavy rain , onwards and upwards , think Dobbin deserves a run of games

Tonda will have one eye on the tricky Tuesday night trip to West Brom as well so wouldn't surprise me if we did see some changes. QPR better than last season, I'll go for a 2-1 win Keeping the same team as West Ham would make sense to me and allow Larin and Downes a few more days to recover (we could do without Larin jetting off to Canada for November international break)

Perhaps trying to keep West Ham guessing but I think its very unlikely either Downes or Larin will feature , neither have trained so far this week , who knows though perhaps theyve been doing off-pitch recovery work

Sounds unlikely we'll see him and Downes , two of our best players really unfortunate

Having already lost 4-1 to West Ham this season i dont think it's that much of a reality check

Sorry just meant he didnt play any part in that game so been a stuttered come back, fingers crossed he can put in another top performance Saturday, but too early to proclaim he's "come back on fire" "But we go into it with 3 clean sheets, full of confidence, and in reality the best CM in the 2nd tier fit and looking like he's come back on fire. No one is living with Jander and JWP in CM"
