Sorry that's not correct. Line is closed in Woking area but there are direct trains from Southampton to Waterloo, trains diverted via Havant but you don't need to change at Fratton. Depending on where you start the journey could be worth taking cross country train to Reading and into Paddington from there, quick route. If going direct this looks best

I'm hoping Charlton will be disrupted with Bree being unavailable, they also have a couple of players away on international duty with Jamaica who play a world cup qualifier in the early hours of Wednesday morning, clutching at straws here but could give us a chance. I can't remember ever seeing us win at The Valley, similar to Bristol City and Blackburn it's a ground that for whatever reason we just have a poor record, lots of draws though. Last win away to Charlton was 89/90 season when they were playing at Selhurst Park!

Bonkers isn't it. Not a job you can just audition for in a handful of games , get a proper manager in Saints FFS

Mouth watering

Yes there is, Derby have just won 5 in a row with a proper manager (for this league) would gladly swap with them

Think I'm happy for Nathan to take all the attention pre-match. Saturday 12.30 games often feel quite flat, can see this being a 0-0 or 1-1 Do Charlton have many away on international duty?

Has Paul Trollope left for Wolves already? Seems a real shortage of staff on the training ground ? Are we making the most of this two week break?

Correct

Hello Tonda, thanks for dropping in and taking the time to post, thanks for the two wins but off you trot back to the u21s to see how hungry their eyes are. Cheers.

Unbelievable ending for Ireland, Manning, Azaz and even sub Baz must be buzzing after that

It's quite a few less than the games at St Mary’s I've been at

Went to watch the ladies v Durham earlier ,frustrating game ending in a 1-1 draw , can't see us challenging for promotion unfortunately Small crowd in just over 1k I think at Eastleigh's ground

Got to admit getting to St Mary's at 8am on a sunday will put a few off bothering, bubble trips are painful with all the waiting around, perhaps Saints will think out of the box and offer a VIP experience, luxury English cooked breakfast on an executive coach would be nice

To be fair the u21s were also doing well under Simon Rusk, it's not really an indication of how well you can adapt to managing a first XI squad (big difference to just being a coach)

We'll probably end up with a LGBTQ+ manager after they've given advice https://www.southamptonfc.com/en/meet-the-fan-advisory-board-panel

Have you watched Sunderland much this season?

Not ITK but this is definitely a big opportunity to improve the access and make a proper route towards Kingsland/ Northam stand that can hold a lot more people With stadium expansion our crowds could grow to 40k + by 2030 and I expect access will be an issue for approval

I can see us losing those 3 games , hoping Romeu basically takes over giving out instructions to his team mates and at least Charlton will be missing James Bree

Of course the fan base can, rejecting one terrible option doesn't give the club a pass to appoint another terrible option. Sports Republic Out

Already made my Eckert Out banner

Promoted from league one?

Nice little boost for the net spend trophy

Did you not hear the songs at the game yesterday?

Could see him grow in confidence and looked comfortable on the ball, interesting story didn't know he'd had a bad car accident, is he a local lad?
