suewhistle Posted 28 July, 2022 Share Posted 28 July, 2022 Sod the changing rooms, any player would love to play on that surface! It'll be interesting to see how many they get. One of the biggest issues is that one of the biggest groups who'd like to watch are playing amateur football themselves on a Sunday. I'll try and make the odd game depending on my other commitments. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barsiem Posted 29 July, 2022 Share Posted 29 July, 2022 Tbh this makes me a fair bit less likely to go watch them… Really enjoyed it at a smaller ground where you can wander around and pick your spot to watch from. Add in that attendances will likely be very low compared to St Mary’s capacity and it doesn’t sound like the best fan experience for me, more of a PR stunt. I guess on the flip side some players will be swayed to sign for us by the opportunity to play in our stadium every week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Who? Posted 19 August, 2022 Author Share Posted 19 August, 2022 (edited) Big kick off tomorrow. Saints v Charlton at St Mary’s Stadium 12:30pm. If you cannot get along then you can watch it live on FA Player. You can watch every game live on here, but if you can, as I would, get along to watch them live at home and show your support for Southampton. Edited 19 August, 2022 by Dr Who?

Dr Who? Posted 20 August, 2022 Author Share Posted 20 August, 2022 (edited) Full time 0-2 Charlton looked a lot sharper and we’re the better team, but after the penalty save that could have made it 0-3, we had a couple of really good chances to make it 2-1, which might have made it interesting. We have made a lot of changes over the summer and it is always going to take time for the team to gel, as well as getting used to this level. Charlton are one of the favourites for the league, but we will need to improve on that performance, I think this season could be a reality check, but hopeful for a mid table finish rather than fighting relegation.

striker Posted 28 August, 2022 Share Posted 28 August, 2022 Didn't see it but a good draw. Its early but we look solidly mid-table, at the very least a few sides look a lot worse (based solely on results) such as Sunderland, Durham, and Coventry. I guess the next match is Durham at home, so we will test this theory 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevegrant Posted 18 September, 2022 Share Posted 18 September, 2022 A more comfortable win than the scoreline suggests, in truth. Lacking a bit of clinical finishing where we could have been 4 up inside 20-25 minutes and missed chances in the second half having regained the lead too. Palace were neat and tidy in possession but were guilty of constantly overplaying when they were in wide areas near our penalty area. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wooley7 Posted 25 September, 2022 Share Posted 25 September, 2022 Just back from the game. City looked top of the league first half. We couldn’t get playing in the first half and City played some good stuff. Started loads better second half, passed the ball around much better and scored a good goal. Could have won the game with some later chances but so could City. All said and done very good point for Saints. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wooley7 Posted 25 September, 2022 Share Posted 25 September, 2022 Just had a look at the table and the results the women have had so far. They have now played the top 3, 1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss. Drew with Lewis too who have drawn their first four games. Considering going up a league, making so many changes to the team over the summer and the calibre of the opposition they have made a really positive start. Looks like they could be in and around the top of the table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabrice Fernandes no.1 fan Posted 26 September, 2022 Share Posted 26 September, 2022 We don't seem to release the line-up in playing order, only ever numerical, so I'm finding it difficult to get a sense of which new players have replaced those who weren't retained, and those still in the squad. What system are we playing this season, and how is it working for those who were part of the promoted squad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
