Season 24/25 | The Official Match Thread | Southampton 3 v Swansea City 0 | The Emirates FA Cup Third Round

Strong bench

Which Willy will no doubt not leverage properly, as per

 

[Londonlisa2001]

Darling apparently reported some tightness this morning and he wasn't risked.
Nothing said about Cabango

The tightness presumably being not wanting to be cup tied prior to his move.

 

[J_B]

Darling doesn't want to be cup tied for his new club. Hence the mystery injury.

At half time I would:

Hook MPH for Ginnelly
Hook Grimes for Allen
Hook McLaughlin for Vigouroux
Hook Tymon for Tjoe-A-On

Or not wanting to be risked before Cardiff
Either way there is plenty of conspiracy theories to go for that

 

[Londonlisa2001]

At half time I would:

Hook MPH for Ginnelly
Hook Grimes for Allen
Hook McLaughlin for Vigouroux
Hook Tymon for Tjoe-A-On

Wouldn’t disagree with any of those.

The sooner this obsession with two games against Cardiff every season stops the better.

Why aren’t Cabango and Darling playing? Surely they’re not both injured?

Apparently Darling injured earlier today

 

[LeonWasTheDogs]

Squad is paper thin and has been since the close of the last window.

Injury to Cabango and only having Darling fit has highlighted the gamble the club took by going with a thin squad.

Yep. And Darling apparently not quite right. It’s a ridiculous position to be in. We should have a couple of players for each position. No bloody strikers either. Let our backup keeper go out on loan and only have this bloke available to support Vig. It’s a mess.

This has all happened on Coleman’s watch - he needs to sort things out, get around the table with Williams and whoever else leads on the football side and actually get a squad together.

 

[FearOfAJackPlanet]

At half time I would:

Hook MPH for Ginnelly
Hook Grimes for Allen
Hook McLaughlin for Vigouroux
Hook Tymon for Tjoe-A-On

I'd love to see Ginelly again, but I doubt he'll be given 45 mins at this stage of his rehab; maybe a few mins at the end?

 

[LaJollaJack]

Coulda sworn I’d read that a bunch of our U21s had traveled and were in contention

 

[jack_lord]

Southampton are deservedly bottom of their league. Somehow they look four leagues above us.
Grimes is the same as he consistently is, woeful. I'm going to point a massive finger at the coach who picks the team and sorts out the tactics. The guy appears to be clueless. They are a top tier team (even though the worst one) and we have to really be in their faces and put in 100% and at speed. We stand off, don't look for space or passes and lethargically saunter around the field like it is a training game. The amount they get paid is a crime against humanity.

Is the most likely reason.

Cabango out injured. Imagine the outcry if Darling played today and got injured.

Hook McLaughlin for Vigouroux
Hook Tymon for Tjoe-A-On

He’ll probably bring Fulton on and take Franco off.

 

[exiledclaseboy]

We will be ball number 1 if we get through btw

I’m not sure that’s gonna be a thing
