LCCFox96 Posted 4 October 2015 Posted 4 October 2015 At the moment, especially after their win yesterday, Southampton away is one of the toughest fixtures on the calendar. They have class and quality all over the park. A point would be a great return but we have the ability to beat them and a win isn't out of the question. Should be a real humdinger this one. Both teams play fast attacking football and have scored a lot recently. A high scoring draw would be my bet.
st albans fox Posted 4 October 2015 Posted 4 October 2015 Deucalion, Didn't we lose to Spurs rather after Man City ?

norwichfox Posted 5 October 2015 Posted 5 October 2015 I'd be happy with a draw....even happier with a win. Can't see it being goalless somehow, but again would dearly love to see a City clean sheet.
Countryfox Posted 5 October 2015 Posted 5 October 2015 Too tough to call ... either team is capable of a win so I think it will be who turns up on the day and who wants it ... (not very scientific I know but sometimes thats all it boils down to) ...
ramboacdc Posted 5 October 2015 Posted 5 October 2015 i would take a draw. i can see the saints being tough to break down but as long as we can outscore them i will be a happy bunny.
The Guvnor Posted 5 October 2015 Posted 5 October 2015 Chelski are in free fall at the moment and made Southampton look like world beaters that aside the Saints are a tidy side. Mane is the key for me keep him quiet and we should be ok. Be happy with a draw 2-2
TOMBlcfc Posted 5 October 2015 Posted 5 October 2015 Same team but Ulloa in for Okazaki. Will be a very tough game, the negative side of me thinks we'll lose but I think we could draw or nick it. Basically I know **** all but would be very happy with a draw
fuchsntf Posted 5 October 2015 Posted 5 October 2015 Stuff this nonsense, of I will be happy with a draw. We are in the best form of 10years, we are wondering around the top echelons of the PL table, we scare the opposition, we respect nobody.Southampton were one of the targets many said we would love to follow, well at this stage lets stop being frightened, of waking up from a marvellous dream, 3 points are ours for the taking, lets grab them and then pay respects to a well ran club, who just cant keep up with us at the moment. I dont know how it will end, but I would love CPalace and ourselves to take 2 of the top 4 places.Above all our individual expectations, FFS of course it is, but so long as this run holds, I will believe the "Yes we can" way of things. last season 1 point was a fighters hope, now we have experience and a tactic, that few clubs are keeping up with, we have not 12 reasonable players,like last season but an hardenned core of 16 1st team flyers full of confidence, and not lacking skill while playing at pace.This may just be The Foxes strongest era... So 3points.
filbertway Posted 5 October 2015 Posted 5 October 2015 Chelski are in free fall at the moment and made Southampton look like world beaters that aside the Saints are a tidy side. Mane is the key for me keep him quiet and who know's, the other obvious threat Pelle appears to be easy to unsettle looking at his bizarre over reaction to Ross Barkley at the weekend. Be happy with a draw 2-2 Are you talking about Emré Can there, or am I missing something? haha Should be a good game, hopefully we don't lose any players to injury over the international weekend, which is a nice concern to have I suppose. Would not be surprised by any result in this game. We're looking really good at the minute but so are Southampton, score draw is probably a decent shout.
ealingfox Posted 5 October 2015 Posted 5 October 2015 Struggling to shift ours for this? Sales made it all the way down to Members so far
Fox92 Posted 5 October 2015 Posted 5 October 2015 I'd quite happily take a draw; Southampton are a very good side.
filbertstreet Posted 5 October 2015 Posted 5 October 2015 Struggling to shift ours for this? Sales made it all the way down to Members so far woman on ticket line said there was only a handful left now but we took a smaller allocation

Dan Posted 6 October 2015 Posted 6 October 2015 Tricky tricky game this. Another one we traditionally struggle at although that's not stopped us taking the points at Norwich & West Ham. This is our toughest away game yet for me. These are better than the other four. I'd take a point.
Wymsey Posted 6 October 2015 Posted 6 October 2015 Slightly concerned, as they've got pace on the wings. But, so have we - so I think we'll nick it.
Sol thewall Bamba Posted 6 October 2015 Posted 6 October 2015 Slightly concerned, as they've got pace on the wings. But, so have we - so I think we'll nick it. Foxestalk logic
AyewJoking Posted 6 October 2015 Posted 6 October 2015 got 0-0 written all over it. which wouldnt be the end of the world.
Guest Col city fan Posted 6 October 2015 Posted 6 October 2015 Very very difficult game this one. They will be bouncing having beaten a very poor Chelsea side on the day. I predict a small loss. I think they'll be goals 2-1 to the Saints I think.
Langley Posted 6 October 2015 Posted 6 October 2015 We always beat them at ours and they have always beaten us at theirs so a point I'd be happy with and take all three at ours later in the season.
Fox42 Posted 6 October 2015 Posted 6 October 2015 got 0-0 written all over it. which wouldnt be the end of the world. A 0-0 means pizza. Far from the end of the world.
ThingsCouldGetMessi Posted 6 October 2015 Posted 6 October 2015 A very tough fixture as many have pointed out. That in itself is huge credit to Southampton considering how many of their key players they have lost over the few transfer windows. They are a superbly run club with arguably (though I can't see an argument) the most successful academy in the country, a transfer policy which has stopped them from going backwards and another excellent choice of manager in Ronald Koeman. So many other clubs in the PL could learn from them... I actually think this is our hardest game so far. The likes of Pelle, Tadic and Mane have continued to impress and will cause problems to our can't keep a clean sheet defence. Steven Davis is to me as well a very under-rated midfielder. However... playing Chelsea may suit them more than it does playing us and I doubt we will look anywhere near as stupid as the current champions. I'm expecting goals as per usual and I'm going for a Southampton 3-2 victory.
The_77 Posted 6 October 2015 Posted 6 October 2015 This is going to be a tough one for sure. I'd take a point but I wouldn't put any money on it.
justfoxes Posted 6 October 2015 Posted 6 October 2015 Definitely a tough one they will have their tails up after beating Chelsea at the bridge so can expect a real battle,got a feeling it will be 1-1 !!
