Anyone thinking Southampton may underestimate us is maybe forgetting the fact they have just been in SF of League Cup. A competition distinctly less appealing than the FA Cup, and also less lucrative. I don't think they got that far playing their reserves and yoof team....

To be fair, their youth production line record in recent times isn’t too bad :

Adam Lallana, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, James Ward-Prowse, Calum Chambers, Gareth bale, Luke Shaw and Theo Walcott. Am sure there’s many others too.


Rose is on fire

There is other potentially good news for our chances if you think about it:

Surely they cannot risk Ward-Prowse, their best and most influential player against us?  Not with 2 critical relegation battles a few days either side of this cup game.   As he takes all the freekicks (and is deadly with them) this means that other players have very little experience or opportunity here.

As said above,  do Southampton want to progress further in the FAC risking injuries and tiredness etc?  The effort and distraction could cost them a few points needed to stay up. Maybe their motivation and will to win is not top notch against us. Especially as we are a midtable Div 2 team with some poor recent league results.  

Southampton were only 3 places above Luton last Sat morning (if Luton get a point from their game in hand).  This sounds better than saying "A PL team".    A shock is certainly possible.  Some Southampton fans even think that we could beat them as they are so poor. I would much rather play them than inform Burnley just below them.

Still all said and done they’re a premiership side with players of much more quality than ours which ever team they put out. It’s going to be very difficult however you look at it.

Marsch will be on a very good bonus for keeping them in the premiership, think Dyche at Everton is quoted on a bonus of over £3 million, so Mr Marsch will be concentrating on the league (hopefully)

According to the BBC, Marsch is in talks with Southampton but there is still work to be done before a deal is concluded.

Not their manager yet by the sound of it.

Amen. Burnley would batter us the way they are playing at the moment. They'd batter most teams outside of the top half of the Prem.


Miss Scunthorpe. Not a beauty pageant, just sound advice.

How many time in the FA & League cups when a premiership team “rest” the majority of their first eleven do the underdogs win,also how many U23 teams have won,or even got to Wembley in the cup for league 1 and 2 clubs, sorry cannot remember what it’s called at the moment.
