I agree but I have met a couple of Saints Supporters but more Pompey ones.

I agree

Yes I was thinking the same so probably will not go after telling Mrs B I was going

Cant make up my mind whether I will go or not now I have seen the team There are not many of my First team there maybe two

So lets wait and see and enjoy the season

Plus a few in the Cups as well

Remind me what how many league goals did we score

Still dont think you understand much about football but you maybe just posting to get a reaction anyway most of what you are saying seems to be based on panic Of course we will lose a handful of games but will win most

Thank you for that negative rubbish just get a grip we are going to have a good season so enjoy it.

Well we have a very good squad a very good stadium and facilities so why should we be worried about any other team. We are in League 1 purely because of financial mismanagement we are a big club in a small pool and most people are right to expect promotion I would have thought

Most pundits think we will do well League One Title Odds In Full: Southampton 12/5 Sheffield Wednesday 11/2 Huddersfield 8/1 Charlton 12/1 Peterborough 12/1 Brighton 14/1 Swindon 16/1 Plymouth 18/1 Colchester 19/1 MK Dons 20/1 Notts County 20/1 Bristol Rovers 28/1 Brentford 30/1 Walsall 35/1 Carlisle 40/1 Tranmere 40/1 Leyton Orient 45/1 Oldham 45/1 Hartlepool 60/1 Rochdale 60/1 Bournemouth 75/1 Exeter 80/1 Yeovil 80/1 Dagenham & Redbridge 100/1 Surely with the current squad we are going to do really well - with other players added we will do even better What other clubs are realistically stronger than us

I may come from Bracknell where is the ground?

You were a bit slow there I have been waiting for Post for Twenty Minutes osr so

And if we lose against Reading and fail to score then what?

Pre-Season is about getting the team playing well if results are poor the team may not be playing well

Who do you suggest we recruit for CM Butterfield was out of contract but I doubt whether there are any decent out of contract CMs and trying to get one in League 1 may be difficult. Bailey who we were apparently interested in went to Middlesborough andGillett went to Doncaster and James is going to Colchester so AP cant be as worried as you

Away to Warwicksire in the Next Round

Obviously we have time to get in players but probably not enough for Alpine who seems to think we should have a massive squad to cater for injuries. I would have thought we will get in another two or three players

Perhaps we were playing Basingstokes Reserves?

The last two seasons we have been poor in Pre Season and gone on to be poor in the League If we had been playing well in the recent games you may have a different view So I think it does matter but we will see how we perform in the rest of the Preseason

I agree with you Could possibly use Martin or Fonte as the Last Resort

Perhaps League 1 sides dont pay large wages. Do other League 1 sides have lots of foreigners?

Most teams that drop in to League 1 from the Championship are usually in the mix for promotion. Perhaps not teams which have only been up in CC for a year or so but teams like Saints Leeds Norwich Charlton Nottm Forest etc with a large fan base
