The trouble is, after Sats win against the league leaders & in their own back yard, the expectations amongst our fans, especially on the HOL will be enormous....& god help us if we lose.

This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise.

Would be nice to have Tomkins available, even if it's only off the bench. Kelly is cover otherwise, which isn't as terrifying as it was a few weeks ago, so there's that.

We don't do possession; we do defense and attack. Everything else is just wa**ing with a football.

The next game is always the toughest ask any manager.
Have you ever heard of the term nothing to lose. When we visited Chelsea, pudits and fans predicted a loss. Therefore the pressure on us was small. With Liverpool,city and Utd as the last 3 away. The Southampton game is one where Sam would expect a positive result.

Any complacency that the other teams would have had has now gone. Southampton like us are a good team on their day lets hope its not their day they like us are missing key players.
