Project Restart 2022

[SotonianWill]

With the end of this “it’s coming home” bollox, it’s time to get back to the more important case of how saints escape relegation.

[S-Clarke]

Excellent, now a chance to forget the crushing disappointment of the World Cup with even more disappointment!

Guess no friendly today either?

[goodymatt]

Not sure if this has been covered as the news is a couple of days old, but I hope we’ve not called up another keeper to this tour due to any injuries?

[Disco Stu]

Unless there was a behind closed doors friendly, it seems a bit pointless to fly in another goalkeeper as they're all flying home today. Due to an icy runway at Bournemouth airport, their flight has been redirected to Cardiff.

[JRM]

I'm sure we're playing behind closed doors but does seem Saints preparation is quite low key compared to other clubs who are playing more high profile games

All looking injury free

Might just have been because the B team game was called off as Everton pulled out so took the opportunity to include some more players.

Yeah, but how many of them do you want to see lining up for us in the premier league? 😆

Another 2 or 3 either side and they may be able to keep the ball out!

Bristol C > Saints > Barcelona

[Dusic]

Probably makes sense not to give too much away in terms of likely formation and style ahead of our upcoming games. 

Will be interesting to see if the Lincoln team is essentially the same that faces Brighton or if he decides to share minutes around.

It was there under 10 team, and they still had us on the ropes until a dodgy penalty decision from VAR

Last time we played Barcelona in a friendly whilst being at a training camp in Spain we brought Ronnie Eklund back with us. I wonder what little present god will give Nathan?

I’m hoping it’s Depay?

[BILLY]

Well it seems we did play another friendly.

According to Mark Wyatt @ the Saints Reporter for Hampshire Live 

Southampton played AFC Bournemouth in a behind closed doors friendly yesterday (Saturday) and won 2-0. 

Positive result leading into Tuesday’s EFL Cup game for Nathan Jones and his players. 

Not confirmed but led to believe it was Theo and Sekou who scored.

I hope Walcott isn't in his plans.

Although I agree that if he is we're in a lot of trouble, but the fact he offers more than Adam Armstrong says a lot.

For all you know by the grace of God, NJ could have extracted a second wind from Theo and he's going to discover his unfulfilled promise, a true Christmas miracle.
