Expect he has. I mean, it would be a bit strange if he didn't. πŸ˜³πŸ˜‚

He may have the background but he has to keep developing, toughening up and adapting to the demands of first team football in the Championship.

Coming from Wolverhampton, wouldn't they fancy something different for a change.😁

Thanks Tom. Nice piece; I thought it was Clive until the comments.
That's high praise.

Well I thought their defenders were very keen on our shirt.

I called it as there were multiple substitutions,extended goal celebrations and some mucking about with a throw or free kick that had him pointing to his watch.

As things go, I thought he was ok. However, I hate this modern style of reffing, where pushing and holding are almost always ignored. It discriminates against smaller skilful players and by not stamping down on it, it continues unabated.

Jerome Thomas, from Arse, was a great loan. Scored a few and went on to the Premier League with WBA, I think.

Does changing ends at the start unnerve anyone else?
at 12:41 6 Nov 2026

I don't want to see stats on it. They wouldn't look good. It would just reinforce it and more opponents would start doing it.

As for the kick off, if we want to aim near the corner flag then Kone is not your man.

Pierce Charles should take it.😁

It wasn't just Kone either. I thought Smyth reverted to the run around, lack of contol and no composure or end product, PS, rather than the one who has been so impressive recently.

Hopefully a one off.

A few of our players who were playing really well now looking weary and losing confidence.

Yes, he did everything right, positioning, pace, control and then he delivers that! Oh well at least he was on the pitch.😳😁

Gazza, I know what his attitude was like from when he played for us. He was often seen casually jogging back after our attacks broke down and he had left a great gap on the left side of our defense. He often turned inside and passed backwards when found on the half way line. I always thought he was better as a midfielder. He was really impressive there on his debut in a win at Wolves.

Yep, always good going forward, when he is found in space. Quality crosses and dead balls. However, I'm not too sure about his pace, his ability to beat a man or his defensive ability.

27 appearances in a side that finished rock bottom and shipped goals doesn't strike me as premier league quality defender.

I'm not abusing him but is he really a premier league quality left back? He made 27 appearance last season and Southampton were rubbish.

He has always had a great left foot and may possibly have improved his attitude, in order to get in their side, but he has been a lazy player when it comes to tracking back and defending.

I do agree that they are the best side in the Championship this year.

Southampton is a one league club city and surrounding area with a population of over 1.2 million in the 2021 census.

The broader Shepherds Bush area has a population of 40,000 and has three other clubs within five miles and several others within about 10 or so miles.

I know times have changed and we regularly sell out 17,000 but even in 75/76 we only got above 25000 when we had a really big match and hoards of away fans.

It's a bit simplistic as lots of fans travel much further but it's probably much easier for Southampton to fill 30,000.

Love the preview, Clive. Spot on and honest as always.

A big test for us. It would be nice for the team and all the motoring fans, to head up the M3's tailbacks and diversions with a result to commence this week's round of three.

Living on the South Coast with many of their fans among our aquaintances, I would really appreciate us getting a positive result tomorrow.

Mrs FB and me have been giving it large about the error of their ways and how their elimination from the play offs was the only possible sanction for the spying on Middlesbrough.
