Football Special

I agree, said at the time our run of wins was too small a sample to base any longer term decisions on without a proper strategy. We must have the most inexperienced coaching team in the football league

There's some really appealing potential draws still in the cup as well, would love a trip to Burton, Macclesfield, Port Vale, Grimsby

Just read 7,561 attendance, that's great and I know will be appreciated by the players , I think would have been quite a bit higher if Saints men weren't playing at almost the same time and on a warmer end of season fixture more families more likely to go, everyone loves seeing us beat the Skates 4-0. Still in with a shout of promotion but will need a very strong 2nd half of season

We're on the March with Tonda's Army, we're all going to Wembley At least the 1976 kit looked good

Don't forget his assist with a header v Real Madrid u21s !

Nuno absolutely hates him, not sure what he's done but must have been bad, maybe kept calling him Redmonds Dad?!

I think players who didn't get a break in international breaks have been given extended leave this week, would follow some logic

Even as the football clubs do their best to devalue the competition it still holds a strong appeal to the fans, we've always travelled well in the cup, hopefully see a few cardboard cut out FA Cups covered in foil with yellow and blue ribbons on tomorrow

Looks like most of the first team squad from what I can see?

No , roughly 2500 sold when they went off sale, think we'll still have a fair % of total crowd

Actually no mate, not only is there no bubble....fans are ALLOWED TO DRINK ALCOHOL IN THEIR SEATS asking for trouble

This is still one of my favourite shirts that I love to wear, versatile for all occasions

Not so promising Team usually fly up late afternoon, they'll probably have to do that regardless unless there's a very early pitch inspection

Thanks, sounds promising The snowman statue outside Doncaster railway station is smiling this morning - and so are many travellers here - and that could be because the town seems to have missed the worst of the weather from Storm Goretti so far.

Any updates on the weather in Doncaster?

Did he say anything about player availability and winter sun holidays?

Would certainly help attract a big crowd, so so many legends for us to choose from though so will be tough for him , expect Lawrie Mac will manage the legends XI what with it being to commemorate the FA Cup win

It's going to be this legends match isn't it? Surviving members from 1976 to play walking football?!

Good deal for them I think

I'd have had them in watching the Middlesbrough game on repeat and highlight the defensive positioning, then prepare for the actual match we have this week

Might get an idea of who will be involved at Doncaster from u21s depending on who plays in this tomorrow

Have you got a link for that?

I think this is a result of Saints having a lack of proper football people within the club and decisions instead are made by analysts and sports scientists, we're obsessed with limiting minutes played and having a rest , yet our players look like they're not fit to play 90 mins anyway

South Coast derby time this Saturday at St Mary's, club seem to be trying to get a decent crowd in , over 5,500 tickets sold already according to this, questionable scheduling with the men's team playing on the same afternoon but hopefully a decent crowd in to cheer the ladies on. Saints fans have Itchen stand (north side which is sold out) and Northam stand. Pompey fans in Itchen stand (south side) https://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/25747882.southampton-fc-women-approaching-new-south-coast-derby-record/?ref=rss
