Southampton Predictions

[Midlands Yellow 3,995]

Head says 1.1 so I’m going for a 4.1 win. Would be a massive confidence booster and install real belief that this season could be special.

Not a lucky ground. 

0-1

[TheGunnShow 5,940]

Can't see us getting much out of this one but maybe we're fitter than they are and can cause trouble that way. Otherwise I think it'll be one of those game rearguard actions where we look like we compete well in spells, but they just consistently have the edge in their favour.

2-1 to Southampton.

Indeed, not a happy hunting ground for us, and despite standing in The Milton Road End a few times as a casual fan. I'll say spawn 1-2 win for Norwich. Ramp up unjust pressure on Martin

It appears I can't work a message board

There's pressure on Martin? 

[Grando 261]

2-0 Southampton.

[JPukks 34]

1-1 Jack Stacey to score his first for the club👍

[S_81 802]

Can see us losing by 3 clear goals. We can’t handle Tella/Adams/Armstrong up top. 

[Faded Jaded Semi Plastic SOB 1,024]

Southampton 2 Norwich 0...............

[Yellow Green Army 237]

1-3 convincing away win.

Take the game to them and don’t sit back. Are they anything special? I don’t think so this season. 

[Norfolk Dan 308]

I'm going so we will win ! 1-0 and Gunn MoM.

I actually think Bazunu, the keeper, could be the weak link (think he was the weakest keeper in expected goals/saves in the Premier last season) so shoot on sight might not be a bad idea. They had a heck of a lot of possession against Sheffield Wednesday though - nearer 80% than not.

No matter how fit a team is, it's much harder without the ball. That's one lesson that should be obvious after having had Farke as our manager.

Yeah, but let's see if they can do that against our high press. It was always a weakness of farkes style...

I'm going for 3-2 to us, we score first, make a silly mistake just before half time then race out of the blocks to 3-1 in the 2nd before conceding a classy goal in the 82nd and a nervous last 20 minutes (cos of stoppage time)...

[cambridgeshire canary 6,735]

Happy with a draw.

[Indy 3,301]

3-1 to Southampton, could on a good day get away with a draw, but just can’t see us winning.

[splutcho 173]

Interesting one. Good test of where we're at. We really struggled with a Russell Martin side playing how he wanted them to in the second half of last season. I'd be very happy with a point. 1-1

[The Raptor 1,211]

Get to the lego shop at 12. Get that set I want. Go back to the hotel. Open a beer  'Just build one bag... ' Get distracted and ignore the frantic 'where the f**** are you'  texts. At 4.20(and 2 more cans)  finish the lego. Check my phone and remember. ****! I missed the game. They're winning 3-1. Get in! Listen on local radio as we throw it away for  3-3 96th minute draw.

[Branston Pickle 3,661]

1-1 for me, Barnes scoring for us

It wasn't until they had a witch **** in all 4 corners....

A point would be a good result. Unless something goes badly wrong, Southampton won't give up many at home this season.

Sheff Weds are the ideal opponents to play at the minute. I guess we’ll all be wiser by 5pm on Saturday. I really don’t fear the Saints this season personally. 

[CardiffCanary 128]

What’s the latest on ward prowse? Could really do with him not being there 

 

also … I can imagine in two months Russ will have that team passing everyone into submission. Let’s hope he hasn’t got them well drilled yet!

1-1

He's having his West Ham medical tomorrow. 

The Ward-Prowse and Lavia situations are surely unwanted distractions, especially the former, so it's a good time to play them. I'm actually feeling pretty confident. 2-1 win.

[Fuzzar 1,702]

A draw would be a very good result. 1-1.

[sgncfc 1,228]

I can't remember us ever winning there. I fear a 2-0 defeat.

[Disco Dales Jockstrap 1,891]

Tough game. I can only see a 1-1 at best...but would be very happy with that!

OTBC

[Duncan Edwards 2,237]

4-0 Southampton

The Hull result to look as lucky as it was, Sara to sign for Cambridge United at half-time and Attanasio invading the pitch to screw up and throw his share certificate at Wagner in the 54th minute.

Hope I’m wrong.
