I would rest as many 1st teamers as possible and make the team up with youngsters - as long as you get their parents permission.

I’m surprised so many of them want to risk first team players. If I was a Southampton fan, I would want all my eggs in the basket of staying in the premier league

And that is the way the club and manager will see it. It does sound as though there is a semi-important youth game on the Thursday though, so I’d expect a Southampton second string rather than the kids.

Hurst very much playing down his interest and our chances in this game. As ever, what Hurst says, thinks and does are often very different things. He is a master of psychology for big, one-off games like this.

Cheerful lot aren't they, almost as if they are facing relegation and hoping to avoid the embarrassment of losing to Grimsby at the same time........

Got to be a town win this one, the reaper will be upset that he missed the boat on Southamptons last manager so I daresay he'll be at the game.  Possibly with an inflatable scythe.

The amount of times teams are doing crap in the league but decide to turn up for the cup....


Christ you all wanted him sacked a few months ago. 6th place finish and he's now the messiah and can do no wrong  
Update:  I think I've got this right - He was the messiah. He then wasn't. He then was again. Then it turned out he actually wasnt. He turned into one big huge messiah again. Now he's not actually the messiah we thought he was . Now I'm hoping he rises again quickly

In his post match on Saturday Wellens referenced the way we play, I don't recall his exact words but the narrative was that we are at the opposition all the time, if Southampton field their kids they won;t like it, if they field their senior pros they won't like it either but would have the experience and ability to deal with us and pick us off.

Reading into this either way Southampton whatever team they put on Wednesday  Night IF we win then Town will be up against a proper Premier  league team whoever again will be a hell of a game!
I remember  losing to Chelsea 7-1 but that 1 goal was pure magic to see, the train ride home with my 2 sons who were in the matthew harding for that game was a long journey back.

Unlike the 1-0 loss to Crystal Palace the game "We've only got 10 men!"  Going to work on the Monday no ridicule  only praises  for Town and the fans was a surprise.
Even now for the Southampton game the blokes at work are taking an interest  ok its on telly for them But for me time off work booked plus stay overnight ....Back to work Friday morning to face the "Loading Bay  Banter!  on the outcome.

Our best chance to beat a PL club. Well, since Liverpool, Villa and Everton.

Southampton have a lot of young players.  Some with good potential, others poor (by PL standards). Their recruitment has been strange for a number of years.   They had a 21 year old keeper at Leeds, who was not very good.  They also have a 42 year old keeper.  Their standard of most first team players is similar to the squad players. Many are seen as interchangeable for the first team.  

Some Southampton fans think that they are down.  They want to concentrate on the FAC.

Others see some good news for them as 2 of their worst players are cup-tied.  

A small home crowd will not give them much motivation.

It's one of those games were I think the first half is vital. There's a negative atmosphere around their club at the minute and the longer we can frustrate them, the more hostile their fans will become which will only help us.

Their official site game preview says this is the furthest we have ever been in the FA Cup in our history. I suppose to Pemiersh1t teams history only started when the Prem was formed.

Oh for crying out loud! They can't be that stupid surely? Even a cursory internet search would tell them otherwise. The Premier League don't do themselves any favours when belittling Football league clubs - especially as Southampton will soon be joining us in the EFL!

Early goal for Town and freeze them out until half time would really get a negative home atmosphere going, fingers crossed
