Bolton 1-2 Saints - FA Youth Cup

Having been to the 3rd round win against Sheff Utd at St Mary's, I would recommend every Saints fan that can should go to the Forest/Wigan game in the 5th round. It is a good and very cheap evenings entertainment and a glimpse at the future of the club!

 

 

Is also a great way to introduce the kids to our passion for the club.

Totally agree. Mrs LS and I went. Don't think it will be quite so wet and windy this time though.

What is the 5th Round, last 16?

 

yes last 16, Forest play Wigan on the 19th so we'll find out a date then, will be midweek in mid-Feb, i'll definitely go along if in southampton, get as many as possible there to get behind the kids.

 

Up The Saints (Youth) !!!

Just back from the game. A bit scrappy, a few players off form tonight, but did well to come back and bossed the second half to be fair. Could have had a few more as well. Bolton worked hard and had dangerous wingers but little else beyond that. They tired quickly in the second half.

 

Our lads enjoyed celebrating the second goal in front of the Bolton fans, who were all booing - they seemed to get a buzz from it.

 

Luke Shaw - what a player. Everything looked so easy to him and his pace is pretty savage too. Much be an instinct he has to be near the ball and when we broke out of defence he was often further than the midfield. Unbelievable engine on him too. Hope he stays.

What sort of crowd in? Many Saints knocking about?

It seems Saints academy sides from under 8 up to under 18's are using a 4-2-3-1 system, Adkins referred to this in interview after the Coventry game. This might be the "Southampton style" Cortese spoke of in his statement on the OS in May 2010 and may see the first team use it much more (they already have this season for spells). Makes sense to have the same philosophy for style of play from the youngest academy side right up to the first team.
