I make our likely starting 11 this Saturday costing approx £15 million, with around half of that on J Rod.

 

It goes to show how well we've recruited certain players and brought youngsters through over the past 5 years.

This should be a simple home win, and there's little reason to think otherwise, but Stoke shouldn't be underestimated, even though they're a different team than the Pulis-run team of old.

 

Head would take a draw, but I'm going with my heart for a 2-0 win.

Trying to remember how the game went at their place after the freak goal at the start. Think we passed around them most of the game but didn't really open them up.

 

Can expect as much tomorrow.

We had the better of the game in the first half, didn't create too much but when we did we snatched at everything which was frustrating. Second half we had the better as well but the game really opened up and they had several breaks which threatened us.

Plus we had the usual "penalty for anyone but Saints" when Shawcross decided to catch a JWP free kick in the last few minutes.

Ryan Seager on the bench? There was an article about him on the OS the other day, scoring again apparently.

 

I think Isgrove is more likely to be used as an attacking option on the bench, as he trains with the first team.

 

Seager is on the bench for the U21s vs Arsenal this afternoon (and Reed in the starting 11) so, yep, looks like Isgrove will be on the bench.

Isgrove is in the starting 11 as well to be fair. Both he and Reed could still make the bench. Reed played against Charlton in a friendly just 24hrs before he played against Sunderland in the League Cup if I recall correctly.

 

EDIT: I don't see Rowe on the bench so maybe he has a chance with the first team squad tomorrow? Unless he is injured of course.

Ah, yes, I hadn't spotted Isgrove was also in the starting line up.

He's come off after 5mins of the second half to be replaced by 16 year old Josh Sims. Unsure if injured, tactical, or to rest him as he may be in the matchday squad tomorrow.

Not sure why some so obsessed with Cork v Big Vic. They are t different players who play different roles depending on our need.. Cork offers far more creativity' date=' [b']big Vic is the disrupter[/b]. Each play a part in a squad game. We can't judge Vic on last weeks return from his injury, needs sharpness etc. I would play him, Stoke have some big units

 

That would be my thinking too. They are a physical team. Big Vic may be needed to snarl back at them.

Shocking, especially as they get free travel don't they?

 

Think they do yeah. Would only use it as a last resort if Saints did it though.

I know tickets are available for this game,but I have one adult and one child ticket in the family section available.

 

my 8yr old is very poorly and so we won't be able to go.

both he and I are just a tad disappointed to say the least.

 

if you live in the Gosport area and can collect,you can have them......I'd rather not see them wasted,as long as you can prove your a saints fan.

Stoke is my closest Prem team too. Lots of fans at work, who all think they're gong to get a beating.

 

Just hope they're right. Otherwise i'm not working next week. :(

What's with all the worried weather reports?

 

The game won't get called off.

I think the concern is more about getting to and back from the game. Although hopefully Boruc will have his shooting boots on.

Go without him! He'll understand. When he's older.

This should be the game that sees us safely to premiership football next season, therefore anything less than an easy convincing win will be a major disappointment.

Preposterous suggestion. We are clearly sleepwalking to relegation:uhoh:

Sorry to hear that. I'm taking my eldest grandson (11) tomorrow for his first game. I suppose I'll have to take him to the shop first :rolleyes:

If you are coming to Saturday’s @SouthamptonFC @stokecity game, avoid M27 Jct 5 #Southampton as local flooding likely to cause congestion

 

 

Does anybody know know more about this? The traffic news web site makes it look as if it might only be the bit from the motorway north towards the airport that is flooded.

 

Can you get off the m27 on to stoneham way south into the city?

You are asking a poster in Dubai about traffic updates? :lol:

 

OK here you go

The A27 around the Swan at Mansbridge was closed today and so was Stoneham Lane just north of the Concord Club by the AC Delco sports ground where there was a big puddle yesterday and there was apparently a vehicle stuck in the middle of it. That would explain the problems around J5. It's probably worth checking the situation tomorrow.

I have a spare ticket for tomorrow if anyone is interested? The old man can't make it, so happy for someone to use his ticket for free. Give us a shout if interested.

thanks. Have looked at that website. That was how I got the impression the motorway junction itself might be ok you seem to be saying so too.
