die Mannyschaft

2 of the euro games were excellent entertainment at Eastleigh last season. Very attacking by both sides. Playing out from back was only about 7 passes then in back of net.

Was looking for Reading or Bromley but have to play a big team ar some stage. Probably worst team we could draw, long trip etc. Its winnable, do we get a big allocation? Maybe only chance for fans not on 10 -4 aways to get a ticket. never many officials coaches though always sold out early on.

Goal ! Market value now £31m

I'm off to do some Pokemon this is not entertainment and that's looking at text commentary. I'll settle for finishing above Pompey top 2 is not realistic. At this rate if will Jan before we get going.

Are Saints waiting for 90th minute. What is going on why haven't we scored

1,000 of forwards scoring goals week in week out in England and we can't find a goal scorer. Its not difficult. Lots of goals going in today in other games. You could get 10 in at £1m each. Or 20 at £500k.

Are we playing possession aimless type football ?

Should be dominating the game and 2 up by now. I worry that out walking football tactics from last season has meant we can't change to a more direct or creative style of football. Where are the forwards, on the grass bank playing golf

No shots on target, who is the player up front, are they getting any service.

Another 700 passes and 2 goals in 93 and 97 will do.

If we don't take this seriously and default the game with a team that's just to fill the team sheet it will be another Grimsby put as many in and try to one up with a tactic to get ball in box with 2 taller players upfront. Its likely to be a U21 team though and usual excuses why cup games are not priority anymore.

Unbelievable end to game makes a change that Saints keeps battling till final whistle. Interesting to see how many goals we let in after 90 mins last seasons, must be half the games.

No creativity just stadard playing ball looking for gat that never appears. I don't understand modern managers they all read the same manual and produce robot players. Wrexham hardly did anything but nearly scored 3 from incisive thinking and passing. Has tge market for thinking a midfielder disappeared.

Rubbish first half, we are not at the required physical level to compete at championship level. Wrexham just knocked us off the ball, I the air up front too. Too much RM football, why can't we buy forwards who sn kick the ball first time. So much messing round, back side nonsense. We need a proper game plan that works, crosses to very small players when taller players on bench. Second slightly better only srated running in last 15 mins. Manning free kick outstanding and Stephens saved the day, he is an example of hiw to run and attack the ball and players. I really hope Still is not another RM tactician.

Bloody hell RM is back. Too soft a team, slow, boring passing. We need a tall forward who can shoot first time. Wrexham tacking the pics. Embarrassing

RM will win title. Doesn't matter what formation he plays most games guaranteed 3 points,that league is a pointless competition.

No trains? Is that engineering works? Blimy the bus won't get there in time.

Noticed the news too late as just got back from work and had 404 web error but sold out. Anyone who can't make it on Wednesday 2oth August but had tickets I would appreciate any tickets for my Son. You got to be on Saints site 24/7 which I can't be at work !!

Not much chance of getting an away ticket at this rate. I've got 3 from last season but looks like there are at least 2,000 fans that have been to 10 -7 or 6 games and will then be buying up all the tickets when this year's allocation takes priority. Anyone get a Watford ticket with 6 away?

Wrexham Amazon FC.

The whole season is going to be about Wrexham so with out points tally last season it should put the spotlight on the away team and away from Saints. Dibling and Fernandes won't be in team and likely to be gone anytime soon so that's another reason why its nonsense to have Saints 2nd fav for title. Not sure what championship teams are like in terms of quality but Wrexham will be a good marker.

After last season much more positive on the basis that we created more chances than 6 games in Prem. We still take too long on edge box to put cross in and shoot. Too many touches. But at least it looks like football now. Saints 1-1 Wrexham.

Entertaining game and Saints much better 2nd half. Can't believe actually watched some football. Stephens played well, decent amount of blocks. Baz 3 good saves. Wellington, Suga , Edwards , Charles did a good performance Robinson played very well MOTM Armstrong, can't afford to leave him out. So apart from Brighton passing through us too often at least we kept going and plenty of crosses. The food Pizza to small, not actually a pizza and too expensive. Burger was very good but at £14 for burger and chips it's a Red card. The ordering system just created large queues at half time and you have to collect pizza at one end of concourse and burger at other so ones cold by time fight through people back to seat. 3 points for South West Trains as both trains were on time for first time in a year.

Lost 0-1 I'm not on the train yet!! Southampton XI: McCarthy, Sugawara, Kayi Sanda, Wood, Edwards, Welington, Matsuki (Akachukwu 47), Bragg, Dibling, Robinson, Stewart. Brighton XI: McGill, Veltman, Coppola, Simmonds, Kadioglu (Slater 47), Milner, Yalcouye, Buonannotte, Gruda, Sarmiento, Welbeck.
