Stupid decision by whoever made it to think we could rely on just Larin for the entire season.

At least it's a modern covered stadium so the fans will be dry. I don't think I've ever been so cold at a game than a couple of years ago at Villa Park during a storm. Awful.

Skates helping us out at Wolves. Since we beat them we seem to have galvanised them

Just thinking back to our last games against West Ham at this level. There was a real edge to them, top two for most of the season, Allardyce in charge for them, Hooiveld terrorising them, red cards, brilliant times. And we both ended up getting pipped to the post by bloody Reading who came out of nowhere to win the league!

We've been given one of the Prem refs for this one, Michael Salisbury

If they play like they did at home to QPR then we have a chance

Referee was dreadful but we should have won. One of those days. Let's go to West Ham and fuck them up.

Boro bottling promotion earlier than usual

Burnley crowd getting toxic, a bit like us last year before we sacked Will Still! Their manager won't last, can't believe someone who was managing Haverfordwest a few years ago is out of his depth...

Only a couple of hundred tickets left, should be a good crowd in, probably not 30000 with the half full away end

Next ones to go on sale will be Sheff Utd (midweek), Wolves and Cardiff, all long ish away trips within the space of 2 and a bit weeks. All good opportunities for people to build up their ticket credits

We've never beaten Bolton at St Mary's so another record we can hopefully break

As it is the choice of the clubs, the cost for the bubble coaches should be borne from them. I don't live in Southampton so I have to spend money to travel down and then another £20/30 quid on a coach I don't want and don't need. I think it would easy to manage it tbh. Close the same roads off as they normally would and have a sterile area that the police can manage to separate the fans.

Ticket came through just now. You add it to your digital wallet and then scan your phone as you would to make a contact less payment; no barcode or QR code as we have.

"fans need a reminder of why the bubble is the necessary to help people understand" That is a very concerning statement from the official minutes. Was there any representation that was put forward for those fans, myself included, who don't want to be forced to get a coach to their ground? I'm a grown man, I can make my own choices, I understand the risk. I don't need a patronising reminder. If people want to really avoid trouble and want a coach, let them do so, for those who want to get there on their own, let them do so.
