Yeah, they are very very good, based in this they should be nailed on for autos.

I make them 1st, Russell Martins brand of football with better players will be neigh on unstoppable I think.

Been Southampton 's best player for years and a top PL player. Really surprised he hasn't moved on already.

Yep, and you can't take his set pieces away so it's pointless discussing it.

He keeps things ticking over nicely, his general play is underated IMO

Based on this they'll piss it. However this is Sheffield Wednesday and their first game back in the championship so we can't judge too much yet. We looked cat piss in our first few games back and never would've expected the past few seasons.

Southampton had 4 top half finishes out of 11. And he’s not been their best players for all of those season in PL. This is the internet, don’t worry about disagreeing.

Granted, they were my gut feeling for 1st based on squad/manager. They will dominate most teams in this league.

 

[David O'Day]

Wednesday look bad

 

[SkyBlueSoul]

Take away his set pieces and he’s average at best.

I was waiting for the "he's just a free-kick merchant" brigade as soon as I posted that

While I wouldn't put him at the top of the PL, I'd definitely put him as someone far too good for the Championship.

 

[wingy]

Gonna be a lot of bookings this season.

Yeah for sure, I'm not looking forward to playing them this season. We seem to struggle against this type of play and also given the quality they have I can see us struggling in both games.

Hard to judge them considering the opposition

Yep, Swansea were always horrible games. This lot will be worse, the front 3 are a handful. Midfield is outrageous at this level and their full backs will probably be worthy of 20+ goals and assists

Anyone would think they’re prime Barcelona. They got relegated by a country mile last season

True, but this is the championship not the premier league. We've seen teams dominate the championship look absolutely woeful in the prem. It's a big jump in quality.

Probably the horses arse going on my predictions. I also love a typo.

Going to be ridiculously easy to pick up yellow cards this season. Might be another reason why Hamer might want to head back to Holland.

Exactly, and don't forget they're basically playing a L1 side. Let's not cream all over Southampton just yet.

It's all relative, they have half a team they could flog for £20M+

Well all of the promoted teams stayed up last season so the quality jump is over exaggerated

 

[Cov98]

Not always the case promoted teams struggle. Just saying there's been some very strong championship teams really struggle after being promoted.

Anyway, it's the first game of the season so we can't read too much into it.

 

[procdoc]

Also for all of Southamptons domination they’re only 1-0 up

 

[Tommo1993]

Wednesday are going down anyway. This season’s whipping boys imo.

 

[Cov98]

Gus to get 46 yellows this season based on the first half officiating

 

[clint van damme]

This lot are ahead of Leicester imo , their squad is just better

They've been my tip from the start but things can change quickly in this league.

 

[shmmeee]

Don’t think that’s possible. Now I want to know the most amount of yellows a player could accrue in a league campaign.

 

[Ian1779]

If they get off to a flyer, half of that team will be gone by the end of August.

Suspended for 1 game after 5 bookings then for 2 games after 10 bookings, not sure what happens after that

But what if they got sent off for two yellows every other game? Then they would get 46 wouldn’t they? All 1 match bans. Though I suspect after your third you might get a few more added on.

 

[SkyBlueSoul]

Hadn't realised the scoreboards will keep going after 45/90 minutes so you can see the added time. Not exactly the biggest problem but I'm glad they've finally started doing it.

Last minute decision apparently.

I think it's only a 1 game ban for the 1st red, then it doubles. I've just read that for 15 bookings by the 38th game is a 3 game ban so assume every 5 bookings the ban increases by 1

He is a excellent box to box midfielder he’ll be back making challenges and then he will be there making goals

Looks like they're trying to neutralise all the shithouse time wasters to me.
