Football Special

Good draw , not played up there since 2011 so will make a nice change, ground is a bit dull out of town with not much around it when we last went but plenty of pubs in town and a short taxi ride to the ground

The milestone is free kicks scored "in Premier league " I think so championship ones wouldn't get him there.

I totally get your point and confidence, other than Millwall just a week ago was an example of where we still have weaknesses. WBA just lost to QPR (it was Stoke who got beat 4-0 at Sheff Utd)

Did you get that sorted? It looks like website set for just general pricing and not members discount as I just tried with my kids one. Going to be a small crowd from the look of it, WBA bringing even less fans than Leicester did and thousands unsold in the home end as well, midweek December home games a tough sell even with the improvement in form

Let's not get to carried away, WBA have some decent players and were above us before Saturdays results, a win against them would be a very good result. They're a funny side who don't seem to win many away from home, looked very good recently taking a two goal lead away at Coventry and then fell apart and lost it 3-2.

Any ground we either haven't played at before (Everton would be very popular) or somewhere we haven't been for a while. Weston Super Mare would be great, lovely beach to enjoy as part of the day out. Worst possible draw surely would be Middlesbrough away a few days after we visit in the league. Home draws are generally very dull in early rounds and with number of Championship fixtures we'll play a weak team.

I think Davis went unnoticed for a while as we had other flair players who caught the eye and his hard work went under the radar, in someways Jack Cork was like that, good player but alongside Schneiderlin, Wanyama never really got praise from the fans

Oh dear

They are only two points below us in the league which would suggest quite an even game , seems their fans are not happy with the manager Ryan Mason and a few are calling for his head which seems harsh from the outside. Let's try to recreate the last time we played them here

Agree, what's the cut off for booking suspensions ? Usually get more of those this time of year as well as players accumulate 5. I thought we had some strength in depth but have been disappointed with subs recently, good to see Archer back in contention and Shea Charles not far away , going to need them

Such a tight division and two more games to come this week could change quite a bit

Can you share the video on Graziano Pelle? Would be good to see it. His move to China was an odd one, didn't it make him one of the world's best paid players at the time?

Yeah should have scored 6 really, Birmingham could have had a few as well to be fair, need to work on our '2nd halves' as seem to fall apart a bit when making changes, massive relief when we got 3rd goal today

Agree, Archer has done enough in his career to show he can be a very good player at this level, just seems to have a chronic lack of confidence/ drive for most of his time with us. Hopefully someone can get his producing more

Aribo did his best to get himself a 3 match ban. Should have been a red for his pathetic attempt at a challenge

Well put. They must see something in him to think he's a genuine first team manager but it's a huge gamble. Winning 4 in a row was great, but what happens if we now lose 4 in a row? If the 4 wins got him the job do the 4 defeats get him sacked?

Lol what a shambles , it was Cov away wasn't it where he said to the undercover reporter he "tipped the ball into the net"

This is quite random, pre match in Northam fan zone get to see ex-Saint Bruce Grobbelaar https://www.southamptonfc.com/en/matchday-information-saints-vs-birmingham-city

Anyone see the game? Noticed they lost but would be interesting to hear about performance

I think Hull and Bristol City also showed a blueprint on how to pressure us into errors and physically dominate the game, Millwall did it well, funny enough conceded 3 in all of those , we really struggle against such opponents

Mate got one mid-afternoon , there was only 6 left then

Looks like Norwich away is sold out now, also Birmingham away on a Monday night to season ticket holders with 7 or 8 aways, surprised me that
