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

No Cabango either, would be silly to risk either of them considering we’re relying on Christie at CB for now

That makes sense.
Highlights we are weak at centre half as well now.

 

[Swanjaxs]

Back four and keeper don't inspire me with confidence.

No idea why we are giving this bloke a game in goals.

Could get embarrassing, even against a crap Southampton outfit.

 

[Cooperman]

Ahh, the old Naughton Christie centre back pairing.

Despite the uninspiring first team mentioned (especially the defence) the highlight for me is seeing Ginnelly on the bench. Even if he only gets 10 mins at the end it would be a huge milestone for him after nearly 500 days out injured when he ruptured his achilles.

Way things are going it could get embarrassing whatever team we put out.

Crikey, has it been that long? Time passes you by.

 

[Resolvenjack]

I hope not but I can see a 5 or 6 nil thumping on the way

To Me, to You

Swans OS quotes it as 478 days
Honestly I couldn't care less about the result today, if he gets time on the pitch and makes a positive contribution then I would be more than happy with that. He was showing some real quality right before he got injured for us

 

[magicdaps10]

I have written this game off and was hoping to see a couple of youngsters from the U21s would have been included.

Highlights as stated above is that Ginnelly is on the bench.
Concerned about the centre half situation now and highlights the lack of depth in that department now.

Hoping for some good signs today but can't see anything other than a solid Soton win.

Soton 3-0.

I think McLaughlin will need to play well enough to get back into the Scotland team if we’re to get anything out of this game…

Maybe Christie’s sheer mass will create a gravitational force strong enough that he can just pull attackers into his orbit and then drag them out into safe areas away from our goal?

 

[FearOfAJackPlanet]

The fact that Tymon hasn’t been rested shows me Williams has no intention of ever integrating Nathan T into our team.

Mildly interested in seeing MPH at no 10, maybe he can be the ex-Pompey boogeyman that grabs a goal.

 

[monmouth]

Looking at those two teams, it’ll be a miracle if we keep it to last year’s 5-0.

The thought of Dibling on their right with the freedom of StMary’s makes my piles ache.

Manning’s going to be a massive shithouse again too.

I think we might see the gulf between the crappiest PL team in many years, maybe ever, and championship cannon fodder today. You never know with football though right?

Christie creates his own gravity.

 

[Cooperman]

Who is our best U21/23 option at CB, is it Fil Lissah?
