We beat Bournemouth 2-0 in a closed friendly apparently. Good. We may now win the premier league.

Is that the only friendly we've played? 

I've not really been following along but noticed on Reddit that many clubs had a few games. Would be strange if having just got a new manager we didn't try out his preferred formation/tactics/lineup etc.

I believe were were rumoured to have lost to Bristol City and beat a barca youth side.

[Sarisbury Saint]

Might go if the likes of Dibling, Morgan , Ballard ect are involved.

Anyone heard anything about team selection ?

Yes, but consider the Bristol City Match timing. it was Bristol City's Last game before the Championship restarted. it was days after Southampton had got back to training, before the Spain trip and without Salisu and Bella-Kotchap.

[Saint Garrett]

So what we thinking re team then…struggling to remember who plays for us…! See no real reason to rotate or play players that aren’t first choice, so strongest XI please. Poss DCC starts instead of one of the WC boys. 4-3-3/3-5-2? 

Bazunu; KWP ABK Salisu Perraud; Lavia; JWP AMN; Armstrong Adams Armstrong

[tajjuk]

Full first team seems fairly logical, need to get them match sharp, playing together again and hopefully get a confidence building win. 

[JRM]

Looks like there's no trains after the game back to Winchester/ London or going West, there definitely were when I looked a couple of weeks ago, SWR must have sneakily changed the timetable 

[SotonianWill]

Starting 11:

Macca, Kwp, CC, Gorilla, Chim chimmeny chim chimmeny chim chim cheroo who needs ryan bertrand when we’ve got Perraud, shithouse (c), Lavia, Hairs fine, AA battery, Gold, Che 

 

Subs:

Walcott

Ballard

Willy

Mara

Elyouseless

Diallo

Can’t remember any more

The only train after the match west bound is direct to Bournemouth at 22.45 and like you say no Waterloo direction trains.

[suewhistle]

Only buses towards the East as well..

Not sure when that changed, there were trains scheduled for tonight when I looked a week or so ago

Yes but who's first team, Hasenhüttl's or Jones'?

Lyanco I believe, not sure why, probably because he's a nutter.

I've read elsewhere it's on 'down-under' - beIN in Aus, Sky in NZ, so should be a stream.

They're 2 places below those plucky-little-portsea-island-promotion-fucker-uppers in the third division - on another day, c'mon Lincoln.

Its just a friendly! No need to get defensive about it... not unless its really bad. The Robins' result is understandable imo. Important one is beating Bournemouth - hopefully a good marker against a good strength side.

I'm intending on parking in the West Quay Retail Park (Britannia Parking) - charges to 8pm and then free but you can also get 60min free parking from 7pm. Would just need to buy a ticket up to 8 if parking up before 7.

[davefizzy14]

After the World Cup break, I'd like to think we will go near enough full strength for this game. A big opportunity for us to get to the Quarter Finals in Nathan Jones's first home game. Getting vital minutes under the players belts as well as getting some good momentum ahead of the game on Boxing day. 3-0 to us Adam Armstrong, Prowsey and Aribo to score - COYR

Stuck on a train at Sholing, apparently there is a fire in the Southampton tunnel. So we're going nowhere for the moment.

I wonder if I'll make kick-off...

For me, doubt it. 😉

Arrived at Central a few mins ago, fire brigade just leaving and smell of smoke in the air, but only 15 mins late...

Bring on the footy.

KWP starting.

3 CBs....

And no Lavia.....?

Moi????

No youth prospects on the bench? 
Not exactly what I was hoping for but still … bring on the new era!

[qwertyell]

Relegation fodder, if the manager's looked at all our squad for the last month and decided that's pretty much the best we can do.

Ah well. Should be enough to see off Lincoln, you'd hope.
