Any two of those would be an immediate upgrade on what we have. Hopefully by now there are a few Premier League players who have been sidelined and have realised they won't be getting the game time unless they drop down a division so fingers crossed we'll start getting calls from their agents.

I'll wait until we lose 4 in a row including a 5-0 defeat before writing off Still and wanting Martin back. Oh hang on, that actually did happen in the Championship under Martin. And we still went up... He had a far better squad. We need a complete overhaul on the playing side. That's the issue.

Having watched the highlights, we definitely should've been 1-0 up before they scored. Robinson hitting the post twice but Downes... how did he miss?

Yup exactly. Hopefully the Roerslev signing is an indicator of us signing a few more proven players before the window closes.

3 games into the season and our best and only winger available is Ryan Fraser. That cannot be our only creative option. How has that happened?

Bad in both boxes. We need some new signings but can't say I'm optimistic we'll get them right. The two we signed early on are both on the bench! If they can't get ahead of this shower of shit, what was the point of signing them? Money wasted. We need quality, sort it out Spors, it's your job.

I see the blue few are up in the arms about the ticket price, but it's the same price for home fans as well... we'll be charging all Category A away teams the same Calling MLG to Twitter to dispel some Portsmyths... @Matthew Le God

Enjoyed this from the FAQs on their website Can I bring a musical instrument to the game? Southampton will not permit musical instruments within the stadium.

Referee is Josh Smith, who has a bit of Prem experience as he was in the middle when we lost at Brentford last season. He was also the ref who was kind enough to add on enough stoppage time when Flynn Downes scored against Watford a couple of seasons ago. He can't be any worse than the three duds we've had so far this season

Just the 4 cruise ships in town on Saturday, all of them scheduled to depart in the afternoon/late evening so yes it will be packed. Pride festival is based in Guildhall Square Saturday and Sunday., it's usually well attended. The march is at 11am, starts from the bottom of the high street heading up to the Guildhall.

Our pressing off the ball yesterday, particularly in the first half, was the best I've seen us do that since the Ralph days. Still things to work on for sure but we'll definitely get better.

They've played two relegation candidate teams. We will beat them quite easily. We definitely had improved this week from Wrexham; a full week of training, maybe a new signing or two, we're only going to get better. 2-0 routine home win.

Draw a fair result. We've navigated two tricky games well.

Norwich were hanging on at the end. Decent win for them at Fortress Fratton

It's marginally better than Monday 8pm. It would've been Friday 8pm but Sky didn't want any games clashing with the opening Prem game. There are other weekends where Sky have a PL and EFL game on a Friday night at the same time. It's the game of the weekend and they want it in the only unique slot available. And for TV it's a decent lead in for the Super Sunday games. Living in London it's not too bad for me, only an hour from Liverpool Street. But for those in Southampton it's not great.

Make that 2-0 after 14 mins 😄 4 weeks until we play them...

Skates 1-0 down after 5 mins

Indeed. I'll be giving it a swerve. If we take more than a 1000, fair play.

Purely from a matchgoing perspective

Probably the worst possible tie we could've got

Bromley or Wimbledon away would be my first choices immediately

Have Charles, Downes and Fernandes been on the pitch at the same time this season?

He wasn't at the media day last week, same as Dibling, so I will assume that there are zero plans to involve him. Although Aribo and Edozie were there.

Brett Ormerod v Tranmere (6-1 in League Cup, revenge for the 4-3) 2002 James Beattie v Fulham (4-2 Prem) 2002 Dexter Blackstock v Colchester (3-2 League Cup) 2004. I remember there was a young kid sitting behind me at this game, and his parents were trying to convince him not to support Chelsea. I'm going to have a stab and say they weren't successful... Andrew Surman v Barnsley (5-2 Championship) 2007 Stern John v Hull (4-0 Championship) 2007 Rickie Lambert v Forest (3-2 Championship) 2011 Rickie Lambert v Brighton (3-0 Championship) 2011 - helped by some dodgy refereeing and a Brighton headloss Sadio Mane v Aston Villa (6-1 Prem) 2015 Sadio Mane v Man City (4-2 Prem) 2016 And we haven't seen a Saints hat-trick at home since... There have also been 7 opposition hat-tricks at St Mary's...
