Football Special

Agree 2nd half we were impressive, need to carry that on Talking to other fans there seems quite a bit of complacency, "at least we're playing Preston Saturday" Yet our two defeats this season have come away at teams who are 19th and 20th in the league currently

Yeah its weird. West Ham fan i know who always gives decent assessment told me when we signed him that he'd dominated teams at youth level thanks to his relative strength and physical condition but now he's in men's football will struggle to have the same impact, hard to argue with that from the games ive seen

Preston drew at home to WBA a couple of games ago, can't be complacent especially with our key players missing

Also concerning its not happening to squad players , its our main men. I know last season Tonda amd the analysts were obsessed with medical data and managing minutes , smaller squad doesn't give us that luxury as much now

West Brom unchanged from their.win at West Ham West Brom win with Morgan to score anytime seems likely , only 2.6/1

We've played other teams this season who have had "injury crisis", well I'd say we're in one ourselves missing our 3 best players. Even Larin's new back up in Dobbin doesn't make starting XI so we'll have to hope Mubama shows more than he has so far. Can certainly see why WBA are favourites with the bookies. Hope for a 0-0 Larin and Jander arent even training at the moment mate, will be after international break

Good news for us, he's needed here not at a month long mid-season tournament, long may political instability continue in the Middle East 👍

That is quite annoying @St Louis I thought you were going to collect ideas from some of the more articulate posters on here and stroll into the FAB meetings with the elevated status of wearing the SAINTSWEB representative badge I'll add it to the fab feedback link later and also mention my disappointment in your tardiness

Yep 100% , I actually doubt they'd have brought much more than 2k on a Friday night anyway Its same allocation we gave them in play offs They'll give us the minimum 2k as well

Interesting, on basis we can't give extra tickets to our fans its just a waste of seats, probably to pacify the fearful FAB , we NEED MORE SECURITY TO FEEL SAFE https://www.mfc.co.uk/news/2026/november/03/ticket-info-for-southampton-away/?fbclid=IwdGRjcAVW9k5jbGNrBVb2OGV4dG4DYWVtAjExAHBkb2YFc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQMMzUwNjg1NTMxNzI4AAEfQCm_8nmeEK6bSBnxhjhracSZkXAL73pPG4Jb_QOJp8DuQyO-zTYNJyYD5p4_aem_xAutL3qNTvcKVln6QHzmwQ

Nice one, makes sense, he wasn't even training for us last week so genuine injury

Seems the most likely. I've seen it suggested Wolves offer bigger allocation on guaranteed sale basis , Saints might not have wanted to take the risk

Another question for the FAB @St Louis has the club managed to work out yet how to reduce the away corner to 2k whilst making more tickets available to home fans? Might not be an issue now but will be if the run in goes well

Yeah i saw that , can't understand the lower allocation unless Wolves have decided to only give us 2k (as they dont have to give more) In truth that away lower tier along the side is an awful away end , hard to get much singing going, probably better all 2k in one corner , will sell very quickly for a Saturday 3pm game

Looks like those sold as well, sell out 2,542 midweek up at WBA when we've got long trip to Preston a few days later is exceptionally good
