Baird of the land

If we have Ralph for a season & a half i’d Take that.

Think they should stick with what's working & that's back 5. Ramsay more of less played as a centre back for time in City game, so he could come in if Ralph doesn't think any of the other u23's are ready. Given the Hojberg will be back next game it probably makes sense to keep JWP in, if he's then going to go back to what is on paper his first choice pair. I'd assume Armstrong may be rested again as i know he had a slight ankle issue which was why he was rested for first leg. Think we have to keep redders in the team and hope to take him off after an hour if we are in the lead.

Is klarer injured or is he being considered for midweek cup game?

The goal we conceded was very sloppy. Can’t understand how vardy wasn’t booked. Valery needs to not react to whatever it was the Leicester players were saying to him. Hopefully he’ll have learned from this. Long did well against a very poor mendy.

hoping gallagher gets a start upfront

Missed all those chances he's had since potch left.

He hardly looked good when in our team. Went on loan to spanish second division and had his own forster moment. Happy he's flourished under poch but it was completely understanable why he was moved on. https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/571692/Paulo-Gazzaniga-Southampton-mistake-shocker-Rayo-Vallecano-Spain

At least finally there’s some clear out happening, that should have happened in the summer but for Hughes love of a massive squad.

Any chance gallagher will be on the bench. 90 minutes of long is far too long.

Somewhat a relief that he won’t start away to Leicester. Equally an opportunity for a younger player in the derby game

Intrigued to know what style hoedt does suit.

The logic(if there's truth to it) i assume is to generate 10-15 million that Ralph could then spend on a weaker area of the squad.

Depends what Mccarthy wants if there's any truth to it. If he would be happy with more money, winning trophies i don't think it would be crazy if Liverpool were interested given Mignolet is terrible and wants out. Equally Arsenal haven't given Cech a new contract so they may want someone else. If he wants to be outright first choice then he's probably looking at championship level as there isn't an obvious opening in the prem.

Gabbi deal looks good if that actually transpires to be accurate.

Of those Moses would be the one i’d Like us to be in for.

Derby replay game would make sense if he wants to have a look at fraser.

At least it would get Gabbi off the wage bill short term even if i have my doubts whether Sampdoria will actually buy him in the summer. Don't think we are going to get money for him in January.

Guessed ages ago he’d go to Fulham. Obvious move for him.

Good to hear.

Should have happened in the summer if we weren't going to use him. Loved having him at Saints.

You’d have to assume it’s down to his attitude.

If true hope he finds his way out the other side.

Gunn Valery Stephens vestergaard bednarek Cedric Romeu jwp Armstrong gallagher Redmond Be interesting to see who plays in goal, who plays at fb, if lemina is going to be back fit, Up front if gallagher is back in full training this week go with him. I just can’t put long or Austin in a starting lineup after today.

What’s the situation with obafemi and gallagher?

Very clear we need another option out wide as no 1 priority. Moi looks terrible. Johnson not ready. If anything happens to Redmond we’d be in trouble.
