2k is a big percentage of the home tickets that would have been on sale for this game. Definitely more then would normally be available for a Saturday 3pm ko. 

Bank holiday weekend. 

9 days potential holiday with only having to take 4 days off.

It's a BIG weekend for people to be away on holiday.

Judge us this time next week. We will know then if we have any chance of making  an impact this season.  Currently the jury is well and truly out. We'll have all the evidence by then. 

Judge us at the end of October. So the jury is “well and truly out” now but 7 days from now we will have all the evidence and the jury will be fully decided. What utter tripe. Good job you’re not running this club.

I like how much of the pitch Schlotterbeck takes up in the back line. Most of the pitch covered.

Actually that should help when Manning disappears up the pitch

Replace Wood with THB’s replacement and upgrade Fellows and that looks like a decent first XI for the season to me (assuming Schlotterbeck is competent), especially with Jander hopefully also available to rotate in.

Surprised Saints have given Millwall a full 3,000 allocation given their fans reputation. 

We always do don't we? Their fans are mostly fine these days tbh.

Despite being the second home game of the season, this absolutely is a 6 pointer. Millwall will be there or there abouts come the end of the season. We absolutely need to find a way to grind out a result and get the 3 points and close the gap on all the others.

Not much to say on this one,

Same team as Stoke, except new bloke in for Stephens.

That’s Schlott.

Attendance for the nearest equivalent game last season was 28,922. This was on the 22nd August and so not a bank holiday weekend. So final attendance then was about the same as has already been sold now, I think.

Two tough games Millwall and Birmingham then next 7 should be mix of wins and draws. We will know by WHU away what Saints are able to achieve. 

Lincoln,  Swansea,  Bristol City,  Wrexham,  Skates, Norwich and Bolton.

13 points at least.

It was the 23rd August, and that was the bank holiday weekend. I remember as I had to leave a couple of minutes before the end to go to Victorious

They advertise as a family club, although I couldn't see much evidence of that up there last season.

You could well be right. I took my information from some random Internet site about attendances.

Only 2000 home tickets available plus corporate. 
 

You’d imagine that with some sales tomorrow morning we’d hit 30,000 in all.  
 

What are the prices for those without season tickets?

Hi. I've got Itchen block 9 row J and it was £37 inc booking fee. I do watch alot of games but it's work dependant. Going to work out what it's cost me at the end of the season 🤣

I predict THB will play so he can clap the fans for an extra 30 or 40 seconds before they announce his departure in the next few days.

I can transfer these digital tickets you just need the Southampton App. 
 

looking for £10 adult ticket and £5 for child… which should have been the club pricing for the league cup 😂

Off to support my local Scottish team instead Annan v Dumbarton at the Galabank Stadium. Will keep a look out for our lot down the road (maybe)!

Was this time last season that a top of the table Stoke City rolled into town. I seem to remember them being 0-1 up and then going down to 10 men early in the 2nd half. About 20 minutes later they caught us on the break and make it 0-2. We got one back in the 10 minutes and then threw the kitchen sink at them, only to lose 1-2. I think this one will be tough as Millwall are very well set up defensively and we are not!

I'll be very happy if we can win today. There's some quick fire games coming round the corner, and to be out of the points deficit would be very encouraging entering this period. 

 

I’d take 4 points from the next 2.

Birmingham looked good on the road last night which was their biggest weakness last year so you’d expect a tough game on Tuesday. 
Millwall obviously very strong so far too.

I'm going to miss this as work on the house is more complicated than anticipated. So, will I be grumpy for the loss but glad I didn't waste my time. Or grumpy because I've missed a cracking win..?

Negative = Bragg & Flynn were not great together

What alternative would you prefer if Ward-Prowse not deemed ready to start yet and Jander injured?

Final 20 minutes or so will probably see Downes and Ward-Prowse together today.

Strange how Edozie is getting squad / match minutes but Archer frozen out. Maybe more concrete interest in him, but I'd rather put him on if we need a goal.

Agreed re no real alternative, but it's still a negative. Our midfield is very much our weak link. That said, the CB pairing is new and untested, and we can only hope it's an improvement.

Pleasantly surprised that Stephens has been dropped. Hope Schlotterbeck can hit the ground running and watch Wood make decisions will continue to age me.

Millwall without their first choice keeper (who started their first two league games)

 

 

Bugger... Cue a match winning performance from their back up keeper....

No calamity shoehorn, hopefully for good.

Midfield still light, Downes having to do it all again

Roll on when Jander is back

Nice to see Schlobberknocker straight into the side ahead of Stephens.

Have to admit, I did not think he would drop Stephens, but so good to see that you will be dropped after a performance like the last one (or last ones). It sends an important signal - and it means we have competition for places, and if you are not consistently on the top of your game, you are out

Have to go with a 3-0.

Apart from a missing Jander, this is our best 11 and it has to be good enough to steamroll the division.
