Bit weird for Flynn to go CB. Assume Janny B is still on his holibobs but we’ve got THB, Wood and Stephens. Still not sure what the starting formation was.

It's what Arsenal were using last season

If anyone's interested then this will take 7 mins of your time at HT

HT 3-0 . Few chances for Eastleigh toward the end

[Disco Stu]

So are we actually seeing Lallana play today or has he already set up camp in the treatment room?

[countysaint]

Injured in the warm up is the buzz in the crowd

RM has the players from the first 45 doing pitch runs before they get to rest and watch the second half

Second half starters...

Saints: Lis; Sugawara, Harwood-Bellis, Wood, Manning; Dibling, Charles, Alcaraz; Amo-Ameyaw, Mara, Robinson

They are pre planned subs, not injuries. It is the first friendly of the summer on a hot day, so players won't get many minutes.

21 minutes though? I could do more than that comfortably and I’m 44 this month!

Amo-Ameyaw is an exciting young talent, his dribbling/change of direction is exceptional. One of our 4 youngest debutants, will he feature this season or go on loan?

Rumour has it Reading but I think he has great potential

Thanks! Do you know who's wearing 19? Is it Robinson?

He was exciting to watch last season so hope he stays with us.

Happy with that one then?

Amo-Ameyaw really is brilliant.

I hope we get him a longer term contract and a good loan move this year. Wasted last season.

[CSA96]

7-1
Alcaraz

[Saint Matty 76]

Speaking of...

Brilliant assist from SAA and a nice finish from Alcaraz. 7-1.

[NewYorkSaint]

The kids are looking pretty amazing.  A-A > AA !

[Harry_SFC]

I know it's only Eastleigh but the young lads have looked very sharp. SAA and Dibling deserve more of a chance this season. 

[Saint Billy]

Some nice goals and assists in that lot.

They need a loan at a good football league club. The premier league is not what they need right now.

[SaintNewForest]

No Stephens or Stewart either. 

[CSA96]

FT: Eastleigh 1-7 Saints

[Saint Billy]

A good start.

Please tell me Ross Stewart is not injured again ?

Yeah, a little concerning Stewart still isn't deemed fit enough for a pre-season friendly at Eastleigh.

[Jimmy_D]

Certainly not the worst we’ve ever done to start a preseason!

[Dusic]

Alongside SAA, Dibling was also excellent and looks very confident and strong. I think there is definitely a first team squad role for these two this season. 

Good performance throughout and good attitude to keep the tempo high too.

Only downside the injuries to Lallana and Edwards who looked tidy in his brief spell. Hopefully nothing serious. 

Will be very interesting to see who travels to Spain as pointless to take anyone who is very likely to leave (KWP, ABK etc).

Yuki Sugawara was just asked about Sam Amo-Ameyaw's performance and how he felt playing with him down the right today: 'Fucking old'

[danjosaint]

Dibling was excellent in the cup against Watford but then vanished, hopefully he gets some minutes, if not then season in championship and we could have a cracker on our hands

This guy is my new favourite. The next Saints cult hero.
