Southampton seem to be cruising to another win. I have to admit I didn't want Russell Martin, but I'm starting to wish he was here. At least we'd have a clear style of play and identity and we wouldn't be fielding players well past their sell-by date just because they can do a bit of sh*thousery.

Looks like Wagner has gone for pure Brexit-ball to combat Millwall, hence the added physicality. 

I imagine Rowe, Sainz and Nuñez will be back for Southampton, when we need to keep the ball.

I doubt it. It would mean dropping McLean, unless Gibson has a mare tonight.

It's a team that is good enough to get a result against Millwall, but still keeping the best for the Southampton, and believe me we will need them fresh for that game

McLean is undroppable, apprently. 

Well I thought so - as a CB. We finally find his best position but Wagner rolls the Dice. Obviously Wagner feels the 'wall will just lump the ball into the box! Could go pear shaped when they play through the middle.

It's a team that could be good enough to beat Millwall. All to save players for a team that will probably lose to Southampton.

I hope I am wrong though!

Interesting line up, let's hope it pays off, good to see Sargent on the bench

Surely he'd have to. 

Southampton are a possession-dominant team, so we'll need to keep the ball because it could be a while until we see it again. 

Nuñez is probably our best passer and has been one of our best players recently. 

Even if it means putting McLean back in defence or playing Nuñez as a ten, he has to play, surely?

Maybe Kenny could play in goal?

That would was one of the softest shots I have seen come on Barnes

I think I'd like to keep Hwang. 

[Capt. Pants 4,284]

Need to score from this decent start. 

[Ken Hairy 3,781]

McLean should have hit that first time.

Good game this.

B*oody hell….

Hwang losing the ball and our old men can’t defend! One chance one goal!

[cambridgeshire canary 6,812]

Why did we let them run about a mile without trying a tackle?

How many times have you have we said that! And as I type they score 

[Capt. Pants 4,284]

And there it is. 

All caused because Hwang gave the ball away.

[The Bristol Nest 517]

Shocking transition defending

Lack of legs in our team unfortunately.

Usual cracking defending

[Darth Vadis 158]

Danny Batth is very very bad

[S_81 872]

Absolutely shocking from Batth. Left his man in order to mark no one 

[ricardo 7,402]

Normal service resumes

[By Hook or Ian crook 917]

McCallum yet again miles out of position and jogging back when a goal is scored 🙄
