That was one for our long suffering supporters. I was a lucky lad and managed to get a ticket yesterday. My first game was September ‘75 so I didn’t see the famous Southampton 7-0, so it was a privilege to be there yesterday. I said to my mate after the second it could be 4 or 5 today, but never expected 7. We seemed energised yesterday, and everyone including the subs played their part. You’d have to give Dan James M.O.M. To put the first 2 on a plate for Aaronson and Solomon, score a goal and then win the penalty for the 4th was pretty impressive, and it was game over by the time he left the field. Thought Firpo really added something yesterday, and having a naturally left footed player made a big difference when he was getting beyond defenders and crossing the ball. Byram has been a rock, but Farke has a real selection problem after yesterday for the next game. With Struijk back it also gives Farke a nice headache for centre back/midfield. I personally think Rothwell gives us the best balance in midfield, but I don’t pick the team. Anyway, happy days.
