It is really strange how the kick off time hasn’t been confirmed when the fixture and date has been known for all of the season.

We spy where we want we spy where we want we are Southampton we spy where we want

Even though we’ve beaten Wrexham twice already this season, I wouldn’t want us to play them in the playoff final with all the media circus around it and they could get their own back for the our earlier wins.

Was always going to happen, we couldn’t clear it

When I did it came out with a 43% chance of a Saints win

Any news on what happened to Stephen’s in the build up to the match? Maybe a warm up injury or precaution after something not feeling quite right.

I was on the back row as well and could see most of the pitch including the goals. However couldn’t quite see the near side corner area to my left and only just not the far touch line, it was comical seeing us fans ducking down to get a better view for throw ins.

There are currently no mid week championship games for us for the 2 weeks after the fa cup match. So the Wrexham match could be rescheduled from the Monday to the Tuesday or Wednesday, depending when our cup match is, and the Ipswich match the following mid week.

Maybe the football authorities should be banned from having mid week league games before and after cup rounds, there would be a better chance of full strength teams being fielded then. And on another subject maybe only the Premier League should have International breaks to avoid the amount of mid week matches in the Championship, I know that many teams would lose players, like we would, but so be it.

At the pre Charlton press conference Tonda said that Welington will be out for at least a couple of weeks.

It’s only because we were losing the other 26 matches last season before 90+ minutes

I seem to remember he picked Quarsie for the last Leicester game in November for his speed against quick Leicester counter attacks, maybe the same again but the HB Stephen’s partnership has developed nicely in recent matches when playing 4 at the back.

Has there been an Eckert Press Conference for this? Link? I’ve looked on Saints YouTube channel and website.

Cyle will need to earn a starting place in the team. From the information I’ve seen/heard so far he’s come here expecting to get many minutes on the pitch I.e. starting not a last 25 minute sub. No doubt there will be some rotation during busy game periods but if he settles ok does Eckert plan to normally start him and have injury prone Stewart as the sub replacement mid 2nd half? Other reports I’ve read have stated that he has thrown a strop at times if things aren’t going his way, which would cause problems if he doesn’t get the minutes to make his chances of making the Canada WC squad. As I previously stated though his performances will need to justify starting. My 800 post, it’s only taken me 17 years to get there 🎉🥳
