Decent start.

Tamworth 1-0 Lincoln in the first minute.

Southampton look like Tamworth in all red.

Very tongue in cheek considering how long it's been since we've had a sell out.

Yeah, not exactly traditional Southampton are they?

And just like teams did to us at Villa Park last year we have to take advantage of the fading/depressed support at Southampton. Which for a team just back in the PL I find very surprising irrespective of how they have started. If we can get ahead here we can take their fans right out if the game.

I'm not liking the long balls so far. I know benteke is an option but we need to try and get a grip of the ball.

[Tuscans]

We look a lot more direct today. Guess that's the point of a Beast upfront.

[bertlambshank]

Poor from Bent.

[Irish villain]

We haven't started well.

Good run Karim, have a shot though!
