So, by my reckoning, we're slightly better than PSG...

Decent bait. Gotta be worth at least half a dozen bites I reckon.

That'll teach the buffoons in the Southampton FC boardroom to listen to the Saintsweb Forum intelligentsia.... https://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?59622-We-need-to-do-something-radically-different-A-few-ideas&p=2613066#post2613066

Saints 1 Spurs 3

The stats could prove me wrong but, historically, we seem to play better the shorter the gap between our games...?

Still don't understand why Ralph preferred Valery over Cedric...

Yep, you were right to laugh. Not even close...

That's blimmin' annoying. Wolves haven't won in the league since 2nd Feb and play their next game (away to Chelsea) in 8 days, so you'd have thought they would have gone at this one all guns blazing to secure a victory

Redmond, with JWP and Bednarek coming up on the rails

I guess we earmark a few more than the 18 match day squad number for each game in case of last minute injuries, which is probably why the likes of Slattery didn't feature in either the last (and this) U23 squad nor the final 18 senior squad.

Sims not in the U23 squad for tonight's game. Ex- England senior squad member in goal though...

Copycat

If there's not much hope of the 'park the bus' approach working, then perhaps we've nothing to lose by going for a more gung-ho approach? Apart from goal-difference damage limitation I guess? I've always felt we've done better against the 'big 6' when we give it a go rather than sit back. (although, I accept that we arguably no longer have the calibre of offensive player required for a more positive approach)

Ranieri sacked

He has an outside chance of getting a call up for the March games IMO. Maybe Redmond too.... I'm sure there's someone in the England set-up that'll put a good word in for them....

https://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/17466409.mccarthy-wants-to-talk-to-southampton-star-nathan-redmond/ MICK McCarthy is keen to meet with Saints ace Nathan Redmond. The Republic of Ireland boss wants to see whether Redmond would be interested in playing for the national side.

Injuries/fitness allowing, I assume we'll start with the same 11 as tonight. Sneaky 1-1 draw
