What have I just watched??? My eyes!!!

[rexe78202]

Benson down

[JimmyRobbo]

Benson really is a sicknote.

[IanMcL]

Benson walks into a wall and now down hurt!

[HahaYeah]

Good passage of play that, until Benson got the ball

[Prof]

Our mostly B team is comfortably handling their mostly A team. That’s a good sign for if we get promoted.

[Commy]

Pompy hit the bar.

[IanMcL]

Our mostly B team is comfortably handling their mostly A team. That’s a good sign for if we get promoted.

Not really.

[Stonehouse]

Shelvey not a patch on Cullen.

[dougcollins]

This is the problem, playing CJER in a game like this.

There was no need.

[rexe78202]

Our mostly B team is comfortably handling their mostly A team. That’s a good sign for if we get promoted.

Is it nearly their starting lineup?

[ArmchairDetective]

Shelvey not a patch on Cullen.

I keep thinking Shelvey looks lively. And smaller than I expected. And wearing no.7... Ah.

[rexe78202]

Shelvey not a patch on Cullen.

Shelvey nowhere near match fit yet. I'd give him a few games.

[Robbie_painter]

Shelvey not a patch on Cullen.

Played 40 minutes against a side a league above us and you’ve come to that conclusion.Mad.

[Commy]

Pompy miss another open goal. They need to take some of these chances or they will regret it.

[Stacks]

Shelvey would lose in a sprint race with Jack Cork.

[ArmchairDetective]

Egan Riley down after a clash of heads. Benson about to get subbed off with sympathy pain.

[Stacks]

Did Taylor leave them. Not even on bench

[boatshed bill]

Shelvey would lose in a sprint race with Jack Cork.

Has he ever had pace? I don't think so.

[Taffy on the wing]

I like the look of Sonne....looks very assured.

[IanMcL]

Shelves is about position and passing.

[Cooclaret]

“You’re getting mauled by the tigers” from Hull fans takes some beating.

It does, it really does.

But ours is mundane and boring. Can we not just let it go.

[dougcollins]

Soton guy no chance of getting the ball, throws himself down, free kick.

Joke.

But loads of players falling, as mentioned.

[Stacks]

Benson has been rubbish

[Prof]

Is it nearly their starting lineup?

I think it’s 7 starters from their last PL game.

[JimmyRobbo]

Someone [layed a glorious ball through to Benson.

Then he fell over.

[Robbie_painter]

It does, it really does.

But ours is mundane and boring. Can we not just let it go.

I agree to be fair,it’s dull.

[Guller Bull]

Enjoyed that first half!

[THEWELLERNUT70]

A good half from us that

[Commy]

Benson has been rubbish

Benson hasn't played for a while. Give him a chance.

[4:20]

A good cup tie half against a premier league team that appear as though they fancy a cup run to bring some cheer against a rotten league campaign.

[Taffy on the wing]

Benson has been rubbish

No, he hasn't.

[Safron]

Cullens career would fit on the back of a stamp ! You would need an A4 paper for jonjo give it up I'm getting bellyache laughing

[Whitgord]

No, shelves are all about being level and not falling off the wall

[helmclaret]

Need to take one or two defenders off and go for it. Far too defensive that half.

[gandhisflipflop]

Sarmiento flatters to deceive

[Burnley Ace]

Shelves is about position and passing.

He’s definitely not about running.

[Robbie_painter]

Benson has been rubbish

You really are just posting for a reaction now aren’t you haha.Its his first 45 minutes in months ffs.

[jedi_master]

Benny looks rusty but he was always better coming on as a sub in fairness, not got the engine or mettle for a 70 minute performance. Great to see him chasing the ball and getting his fitness up though as he can offer us a lot from the bench in the run in.

[TPClaret]

Played very well against Prem opposition. Shows how strong our squad is.

[Rileybobs]

We’ve been the better side. Need to take more risks.

[jojomk1]

Our mostly B team is comfortably handling their mostly A team. That’s a good sign for if we get promoted.

I am clearly watching a different game
There are actually only two positions between us in the league tables
They are certain to be relegated as we would most likely be if we actually went up

[andyh]

Shelves is about position and passing.

And about using the right rawlplug

[RVclaret]

Thought we played well enough there, given 8 changes, and two players starting without much game time for a while.

Some interesting subs available today, surely Edwards for Benson will be one of the first…

[rexe78202]

Does anybody know how this Southampton lineup compares to their normal Prem lineup?

[chekhov]

I think it must be the trolls who get off by slagging off our own players. I should ignore them I suppose.

[123EasyasBFC]

Hannibal next to Cullen for me every day of the week, he’s been everywhere that half, it’s just a shame he gets targetted because teams know he loses his head. Also his reputation means he doesn’t get chances either with the refs.

Hannibal’s best position based on that half is deeper

[Stonehouse]

Played 40 minutes against a side a league above us and you’ve come to that conclusion.Mad.

He not running back to pick up passes out from the back like Cullen does ,looks drastically off the pace with his fitness,and that’s not the Saints first team.

[taio]

You never stop

[Fretters]

Scotty Arfield scores his second of the afternoon.
