Would like Gary Johnson myself, but as he's just signed for Peterboro... What's Tony Mowbury doing these days? I have a strange feeling that Southampton will announce a signing tomorrow (probably on loan), which would indicate something has already been set in place for a new broom.

I'm sure I came across Nicholas Bignall on that givemefootball site last month, which if true would indicate he is surplus to requirements at Reading? Ryan Harley rumour may have legs, and I'm sure Saints have shown an interest in Matt Phillips. On the subject of midfielders and I know it's only Wiki, it suggests Harlee Dean (trialist from last month) is on loan at Grays from Southampton? Have I missed something? He is no longer listed on Dag & Red's site as their player, so if he's not here I guess he's unattached now?

Dag&Red and Exeter have postponed their game.

Oldham's Tom Eaves has just signed for Bolton for £200,000 according to SSN... however, he may be ripe for a loan deal following the League Cup game?

Exeter and Dag&Red are still deciding whether their game should go ahead - decision to be made later today. Personally, I think they should call it off, allowing Exeter to play their next game, like Saints, at home.

He had real potential as a youngster when Yeovil bought him from non-league, and I'll always remember him swearing on live tv after the FA Trophy Final in 2002! Unfortunately, during the first ten minutes of the opening match in 2002/03, he suffered a serious broken leg which slowed his progress significantly. He then went to Hereford and onto Exeter where he progressed from the Conference through to League 1. RIP Adam

Barnard and Connolly will probably start again, Lambert and Lallana on bench, with Schneiderlin, Harding and Puncheon. Therefore, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Wotton and Holmes will probably be in the XI.

Chap in next seat went down at around 43 minutes for his drink and came back up at 49 mins in the Itchen... very slow. Someone else remarked that the caterers no longer seem to keep a 'stock' of ready made tea/coffee in trays, which last year allowed the queues to move a lot more quickly - it seemed every cup is now made on the spot.

Lambert and Schneiderlin were there I can confirm, but Puncheon...............

The back four looked solid enough - I think the fact that Butterfield and Fonte used to play for Palace will ease his transition into the side. Regarding the midfield, both Mills (on the right) and Dickson looked very good, but Hammond (I know he scored) did give me one of two nervous moments with his tackling - I fancy a few yellows and maybe a red accumulator this season. Up front, Barnard very impressive. The game itself I agree with Turkish, prior to the pen for 2-2 we were more than a match for them, and then the team gradually fell apart with the number of young subs onto the pitch. Of those, Reeves showed a few touches. Doble looked OK with his movement but was left very isolated when Barnard went off. Next Sat, it'll be the same starting team aside from Lambert (Connolly), Spiderman (Wotton) and Puncheon (Mills) coming out from the tunnel.

Millwall appear to have officially signed him if you believe Wiki! It's on the Lions' official site as well, but with a question mark at the end of the statement

When did that Lambert article go up?

Any murmurs on this guy? According to the ever reliable wiki his trial period has finished with Saints. Parent club Dag & Red has since submitted its squad list, and he is not in it!

The Spitfire used today could be either Merlin or Griffin powered, as BBMF have five Spits to choose from at present! Weather looks good

Colchester has offered Lloyd James a contract, so we'll be seeing him at St Marys in September if he accepts... http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,12874_6268485,00.html

Personally I think we still need 2 or 3 more additions to get the squad upto full strength, but an attack minded CM should indeed be the priority now. As others have said, either Waigo or Antonio coming back would solve the weakness at RM and up front in one go.

Isn't Butterfield a utility-type player? I know he's primarily a right back but if signed, he could provide cover for a few positions! Still think we should go for Simon Francis if Richardson is crocked long-term, or try for the Man City's Logan on loan with view to a permanent deal next summer?

Possible back-up striker? http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,12876_6261527,00.html

I cannot say that I remember any English league team putting out a side numbered 1-11 since squad numbers were introduced. Could Saints be the first to do so?!

Harlee Dean is possibly from non-league? Sure I have heard the name or read it in the Non-League paper..

All to do with an admin error apparently. They failed to submit a contract in writing and he has walked as a result for free. He'll stay in the Premiership I think, probably to West Ham or even Chelsea!

Still not been officially announced by Swindon. Well it was Wiki after all. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Mullins Simon Francis ditto for Brentford.

Right back Johnny Mullins has agreed to join Swindon on a free, according to Wiki. Another one crossed off the list....
