Pretty much agree with this. Put out the reserves - I won't care about the League Cup unless we get to the quarter finals.

Would expect Shaw, Chambers and Stephens all to start. Would also expect Sharp/Lee/De Ridder/Seaborne/Gazza to play.

 

Would think we'll start

Gazzaniga; Richardson, Stephens, Seaborne, Shaw; Puncheon, Hammond, Reeves, Lee; Sharp, Hoskins.

Or similar.

 

Having forgotten about Chaplow, I'd probably have him in for Sharp.

 

Soooo Gazzaniga; Richardson, Stephens, Seaborne, Shaw; Reeves, Hammond, Puncheon, Chaplow, Lee; Hoskins.

Oh, and anyone know if we're playing in yellow as I suspect we will ? There's no colour confirmation on the Saints OS but Stevenage play in white with a red hoop, red shorts and socks, so both our home and away kits will clash.

Can someone going to the match keep an eye on Marcus Haber? He's a Canadian international we've got somewhat high hopes for. Sad I know, but it'd be great to hear how he looks.

 

He used to play for St Johnstone, my second team. Bit of a beanpole and not much else tbh. Decent in the air but not great with the ball at his feet and not exceptionally quick either. He may get better though, he's still only young.

TEAM NEWS

Stevenage

Stevenage's on-loan winger Robbie Rogers may be handed his first start after making his debut as a substitute on Saturday.

Summer signing Lucas Akins is expected to keep his place in attack after two goals in two games.

Southampton

Southampton's Tadanari Lee is set to start as manager Nigel Adkins eases him back into action following the foot injury he picked up last season.

Jack Cork will again be absent as he is still troubled by an ankle problem.

 

MATCH FACTS

Head-to-head

This is the first meeting between the clubs.

Stevenage

This is only the third season in which they have played in the League Cup.

The 3-1 home win over AFC Wimbledon last season was their first-ever victory in the competition.

Southampton

Southampton were runners-up in the League Cup to Nottingham Forest in 1979.

Last season was the first time the Saints had got past the second round in three years.

I would be so hacked off if I were Billy Sharp.............

Most footballers just want to play, so I bet Billy is not hacked off. He has hardly played since the start of the season, despite having a good pre-season, so needs to get amongst the goals to remind NA of what he can do.

 

The more interesting point about this line up is that it shows up our serious shortage at the moment in 2 specific positions, GK and CB. KD (assuming its K and not S) has to be on the bench because we have no real alternative, and Frazer has to play at CB ahead of Stephens despite the fact that he played CB on the pre-season tour and got good reviews when he did, it seems like NA is not willing to risk our 4th choice CB and would prefer to play Frazer out of position.
