Did they play in 1945? I thought it was cancelled because of the war.

Wiki says: "1945–46 was the first peacetime football season since the 1939–40 season was cut short due to World War II.

On 7 May (as the war was ending), it was announced that the FA Cup would be resumed, and that the 44 clubs in the top two divisions of the 1938–39 season would play in the Football League North and Football League South^[1] without promotion and relegation from the previous peacetime season."

So, due to geography, Southampton and Sheffield would have been in different Leagues.

The good news is that we finished above P***** in that single post-war Football League South season. Strange the competition that season is glossed over in the Skates Wiki page.

Forster, KWP, Bedders, Lyanco, Small, JWP, Diallo, Moi, Djenepo, Tella, Broja for me.

 

Rest Tino. Perraud for Small if he’s not ready.

 

0-2. Think we’re slightly lucky Berge and Gibbs-White miss this one.

Small played for the B team on Sunday vs Burnley, so probably unlikely he'll start a game 2 days later.

I'd expect to see something like that, although as MLG said, I doubt we'll see Small.

Lyanco and Broja start and there's no streams

[whelk]

18/1 Broja to score twice. Fancy that

Makes sense for Oriol to play (and be captain in JWP's absence) given he is the only person Lyanco can speak to 'somewhat' normally.

Can't say I'm really surprised at Valery starting either. Gives Kyle and Tino a rest. Nice to see Broja and Tella starting up front.

Lyanco up against that bloody nut job McBurnie. Could be interesting…..

I was way off, but that's a decent line up. Shame there's no streams, I reckon it'll be a good game.

Women’s WC qualifiers tonight. Hate international breaks when they pause the WSL

[macca155]

Bugger behind the goal. I hate that. Still I might just see a goal.

Decent team, Valery a surprise and I thought Bendarek would play. 

Certainly hasn't put out a weak side.

Better not go to penalties.

I wouldn't think there'd be a shortage of empty seats to move into for a better view - I don't think they've opened there 'Kop' tonight so not gripping the home fans

Oh we will be moving!

[nta786]

Forster

Valery - Lyanco - Salisu - Perraud

Romeu - Diallo

Redmond - Djenepo

Tella - Broja

Or it's Redmond up front, Tella in the wide positions? 

I'm not sure if it's 3 or 5 subs allowed, but if 3 then expecting Moi, Adams and Long to come on. 

I wonder who the penalty taker would be tonight given JWP on bench.

[aintforever]

Glad he’s rested JWP, that looks a decent side.

He can always come on as a sub and take a peealty a la West Ham and Southgate

Just signed in, apparently I’m now enrolled as a Taliban fighter! I’m off to pack, I don’t need to take a vest though they are generously providing one. 
 

 That’s a surprising development I must say!

Apologies for eating at the football and everything but worth putting on the record that the sausage rolls here are excellent 👌

Selection shows a strength in depth which is what we were lacking last year

Although the first language of the defence tonight is actually French.
