    All three can play a role for us this season IMHO. It's a squad game especially in the Championship.

    I know it was only the Carabao Cup, when teams tend to field a weakened side, but we beat them 4-1 back in August, so I’m hoping for more of the same in this encounter.

    Saints made five changes to the squad that beat Stoke the weekend before we played but four of those came on in the 2nd half

    Canadian CF Cyle Larin was on the bench back in August, now 2nd top scorer in the Championship with 7. On Saturday he was subbed before half time with a leg problem but no word how bad it was

    Divin Mubuma started up front in the Carabao but he was left on the bench against Bolton with Lewis Dobbin preferred as Larin's reaplcement

    Other regular starters on the bench in August were Irish AM/LW/RW Finn Azaz, 5 assists and 3 goals, LB Ryan Manning, Japanese CM/RW Kuryu Matsuki who got his first two caps during the international break and Flynn Downes

    Downes is currently top of the Championship for tackles per game but was out at the weekend with an ankle injury, chances of him being available are "possible but ambitious". Academy graduate 21yo Cameron Bragg started on Saturday alongside is our old mate James Ward-Prowse who has started the last seven

    Another addition since we played is CB Keven Schlotterbeck (£3m Augsburg) who has started nine in a row
    Love the idea of a forward called Dobbin. Immediately made me think of Sandy Clarke: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandy_Clark

    Eckhart says Downes and Larin are both trying to get fit for tomorrow (today?) but neither has been seen in training this week

    The fans aren't optimistic, they don't think Manning or back up LB Wellington will be able to cope with Bowen

    They've pretty much given up on Divin Mubama, he's had 4 appearances off the subs bench in the last 6, averaging less than 10 minutes each

    They had a bid for Will Lankshear turned down by Spurs, missed out on other targets and aren't happy than the only alternative to Larin is either Dobbin or Azaz as makeshift strikers



    They do have a striker in the U21s who has scored 11 in 8

    Hope he's got big shoulders, that's a lot of name to fit on a shirt

    Boro with a big win last night.

    Birmingham, Wolves & WBA with favourable games today.

    A big game to win, but I think this will be tricky.

    Hermansen, Walker-Peters, Mavropanos, Kilman, Morato, Engels, Kanté, Mukasa, Bowen ©, Solomon, Taty
    Subs: Areola (GK), Scarles, Mayers, Golambeckis, Souček, Orford, Austbø, Piroe, Pablo

    No mention of Veltman as being injured, but he's not even on the bench. I would defo have preferred him over KWP at RB.
  • stevesteve
    He must be injured

    Time for Taty to turn up

    Middlesborough do look good but they have not visited the Premier League for a long long while as they tend to flirt with it but never prove quite good enough to see it through.

    No Larin or Downes

    Four changes from last week, Dobbin for Larin, Jander for Bragg, Matsuki for Fellows and Manning for Wellington

    Peretz
    Bree, Stephens, Schlotterbeck, Manning
    Ward-Prowse, Jander
    Matsuki, Azaz, Scienza
    Dobbin

    They will score

    We will score more

    Dreadful pass by Kante after driving forward.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Good work by Bowen but again a dreadful pass.

    Southampton finding it easy to plat through our midfield.

    Nowhere near
  • MIAHammerMIAHammer
    Does Hernmansen get the assist
  • chicagohammerchicagohammer
    Oh boy this could be one of those games - hint of offside but no doubt about the striker.

    We have not shown up at all thus far - they are just playing through us
