More points deduction for Everton and Forest would certainly make relegation battle interesting if that happens

I didn't say we won't win, I said a draw would not surprise me based on other recent away games where we havent looked convincing. Keep yourself grounded and don't get too carried away.

Thanks, at least having two games already dilutes new manager bounce. They do seem to have turned things around since boxing day though. Anyone know if Saints are staying in the Marriot this time? TripAdvisor review from 2018 was a classic.

Does that coincide with their new manager being appointed?

What a night that was, reminds me of a few wins we've had at Swansea so perhaps its a good ground for us, often 1-0 , late Lambert goal in 2014 towards the end of the season was a good trip as well. 3-2 win in the FA Cup recently, Martin might have been in charge for them and we needed a late goal to win it, empty stands with Wales slow to relax covid restrictions.

I'm not a pessimist but I have seen us draw at Watford, Norwich, Huddersfield, Coventry, a draw in this game would not surprise me at all.

Anyone got the championship table after 27 games last season? Would be interesting to compare. This season feels unprecedented for top sides. West Brom still looking really good

To be fair they're 3 points clear of us after 27 games , despite us having a club record unbeaten run, I wouldn't be too cocky yet , they've done brilliantly

Next two league aways at Swansea and Rotherham, got to take those opportunities

Block 48 of away section closed as well, we used to give 3300 to away teams, now 2,825 so quite a few lost there last summer. Sheffield wednesday didn't quite sell out either

We are, really excellent today, but need to start doing it away from home. Got a few aways coming up and need to keep the pressure on Ipswich.

Very highly thought of, great potential for his age, yet all feels a bit pointless if Chelsea can just come along and help themselves to him

Bournemouth one is hilarious, for coverage on Welsh speaking channel S4C

I'd be shocked if it didn't make general sale, expensive month with Swansea, Rotherham, Bristol City coming up

Agree, we only played there last month and making an already dull draw even duller with a Sunday lunchtime ko won't help, especially if Eastleigh play man utd same afternoon. International TV coverage is such a nonsense reason to move it as well, they are allowed to show Saturday 3pm abroad so just let them pick the game and leave it as it is. More likely they didn't want Saints fans having a beer around Euston whilst the skates made their way back from Port Vale.

Sheffield Wednesday's other results against "top" sides this season Sheffield wednesday 1-1 Leicester Leeds 0-0 Sheffield Wednesday Looks like they raise their game and compete, tough fixture for us.

I've read your post a couple of times and without the exaggeration I think you're right, it will be a game like this that we'll lose, nothing will go in despite 25 shots, ref will give us nothing etc , Sheff Wed to nick it late on.

Any new injury concerns?

Sounds like he was a big fish in a small pond at school

Surprised Sheffield Wednesday haven't sold out away allocation, I thought they were one of those clubs that always took good numbers , looks like they'll have similar end to Walsall with a few empty in block 43.

He can go, quite a few tickets available on the exchange https://exchange.southamptonfc.com/selection/resale/item?performanceId=10228529227869&productId=10228529222459

I'm not sure it's that much, we had 2100 in the league game and that was half the end , here's a picture of Chesterfield's 4000 at the weekend, fills most of it. We took 4000 to Crystal Palace in 3rd round last year for a 12.30 ko when there was a train strike so I think we can sell at least that many.

Agree with that , good that we have a few options in those positions at least

Yep. Then go to pens in the replay
