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

[Vetchonian]

I would play a full strength team...we have a 7 day break then a further break to the Cardiff game. A chance to turn Southampton over and get a lucrative tie.

Playing a fringe team means a 2 weak break for the core of the team...no for me thank you.

I guess you could factor in injuries or suspension but we don't tackle so no issues.

Cardiff play Watford on the Tuesday before the derby we have 2 games in 14 days they have 3.
Southampton needs to be a mix of players whilst some like Cullen need a rest.

That's a shame. It will mean Robinson is back for our game. He is by some distance their most dangerous player.

Yes when I heard the news of his red card New Years Day it was the brightest moment of a dark afternoon until I realised they had 3 games before they played us .

We could if we wanted a massive hammering.

Personally, I'd prefer playing the majority of our first team and putting up a fight, but I don't expect anything of the sort.

We would concede double figures with that line up

 

[AusinIsOurHero]

I'd certainly look to be including some of the u23's, at least from the bench if they're fit.

Against Southampton? We'd lose, but not by many.
