Southampton

[hopelesslyoptimistic]

Just me or is everyone else both excited but super nervous to see how we go.

Another 3 points and we would be a sixth of the way to the likely points needed to stay up after 2 games.

Want to see how Dan James and Aaronson work together as a pressing nightmare for the other team. James’s pace on the press could be invaluable in the system.

I think the trip to the south coast will be an indicator for the rest of the season, in the past we havn't travelled well; love a win but happy with a draw. I hope the lads are flying because trian and road travel at the moment is a nightmare

Just don't give ward prowse any stupid freekicks and we'll be ok.

I reckon it will be a tougher game than most imagine, The heat will be horrible, so I expect a few late goals, Saints will be smarting from last weeks hiding, and they will also be anoyed at the press this week writing them off - hope we scrape the three points though, but so long as we don't lose...

Just watching the end of the Villa/Everton game, one or two of them knackered; key today will be the timing of the subs; you need to be really fit to do a full 90 plus in this heat

How prophetic!
Subs - or should I say lack of them - cost us three points today.
