Match Day Thread Southampton v Aston Villa, Fri 5th Nov, 8pm

Redders will be a big miss based on recent performances but I'm quite excited to potentially see Armstrong and Broja up top together. May well be a very good partnership there imo.

 

I agree but do you think Ralph will drop Che after 2 goals in the last 2 games?

 

And he's an ex-Birmingham player.

 

Where has it been confirmed Redmond has covid? Literally the only place I've seen it is that comment a few posts ago.

 

Villa ripe for another battering?...

 

And Ramsey who is a young midfielder who they think is great....local Villians being very pessimistic up here and think a bad defeat will be the end for Dean Smith who they have turned on even though he is a Villa supporter

 

Ramsey is fit.

 

Will be Adams and Walcott

 

Broja fit.

Everyone bar Stephens fit.

So not sure this Redmond thing is true.

 

Too much optimism, 2-0 Villa

 

Good news that Redmond is available. Ralph's got an interesting dilemma here. Does he go back to Redmond and Broja up front that worked so well against Leeds and Burnley or does he stick with a winning team and go with Armstrong and Adams. Personally, I'd go with the former and bring S. Armstrong into the team.

 

It was on Twitter, a givemesport.com thread, that was speculation based on his absence from training noted on the OS Gallery. Only JS is unfit according to Ralph's presser.

 

“Absence from training” = Being out of camera shot for the photos they decided to publish.

Sometimes I think the Saints media team like nothing better than to troll the Twitterati.

 

Fully expect to see Adams and Broja start tomorrow, with Redmond and Stu Armstrong as 10s.

As much as I think Adam Armstrong will come good and is a better player than Adams, I can't see Ralph dropping him after he had bagged in back to back games.

 

There's no reason why it wouldn't work with Che and Broja, the former worked well with Danny and both are scoring goals but I would be satisfied with any combination of AA, Che and Broja with Redders as the left 10 and Stuey on the right.

 

I'm confused. Redmond out or in?

 

Not injured, so he’s in.

 

Ralph could very well play the roll of The Terminator this Friday

 

Villa team just inbound to Southampton Airport in a Boeing 737 G-SWRD. Call sign is Broadsword, not calling Danny Boy!
