skintsaint Posted 25 August, 2012 Author Share Posted 25 August, 2012 HITS THE WOODWORKWhat a save this is! Southampton captain Adam Lallana buys himself a yard of space with a deft turn and the midfielder cracks in a rising strike from 25 yards which Ali Al-Habsi just about finger-tips onto the crossbar. Brilliant effort. By the way, there are hundreds and hundreds of empty seats at Southampton. Not sure what that is all about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Kraken Posted 25 August, 2012 Share Posted 25 August, 2012 By the way, there are hundreds and hundreds of empty seats at Southampton. Not sure what that is all about. Yep, really disappointing. I was hoping I'd be able to get away and get to the game but it wasn't to be. The online ticketting was certainly showing most seats as sold (for instance blocks 1 2 and 3 all sold out). They clearly aren't. With so few Wigan fans in attendance this will be below 30,000. Good start from Saints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skintsaint Posted 25 August, 2012 Author Share Posted 25 August, 2012 The weather conditions are replicating the dreary play on the pitch at St Mary's as heavy rain begins to bucket down at the end of the first half. Neither side are making an impact in the final third, and the closest we have come to a goal is a 25-yard drive from Adam Lallana that was pushed onto the crossbar.

BotleySaint Posted 25 August, 2012 Share Posted 25 August, 2012 I am happy with the first half. Second half we need to go for it a bit more. Last week we counter attacked brilliantly but this week Wigan have barely mounted an attack worth countering! Not bad though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
