Took a quick look at the Southampton website -Looks like from their point of view we are there to make the numbers up – Hope there players are thinking the same- I think they are in for a rude awakening – 5,500 Cov fans roaring Cov on – irritates me how they think they are a class above us – lets show them boys

If that is the case, can you edit the title & remove the last three letters, thanks.

How dare PL regulars Southampton think they're a class above us.

They are a class above us, they've been established in the top flight for 10 years since we last played them. Such is the disparity in resource between the top flight and the football league, it'd be ridiculous if they were not a class apart.

No reason we can’t give it a go but we need to be realistic!

And the last time we played them they beat us 4-0 and hardly broke a sweat.

They'll fucking spank us.
Put the kids out and concentrate on all the league games we've got in Feb.

They are several classes above us.

Doesn't mean that in a one off match we can't beat them but I can understand them feeling they should win easily.

Well that might be true but when they get amongst the Man Citys Liverpools & Chelskis of this world they will also be making the numbers up.

Bring it on its 11v11 and in 90minutes anything can happen no matter how unlikely.

After all, who can forget CCFC (Premier League) v Sutton United (non league) so miracles do happen.

We were the same every time we played Sunderland in league one

We'd be confident of beating a mid-table League 1 team at home so this is not news.

But over a one-off 90 minutes anything can happen. That's the beauty of football.

To be fair, having read their forum, i don't think many of them are cocksure, in fact a lot quite complimentary of us as club and fans. They will be a class above as the step up to prem is big, but anything can happen on the day and we are a decent team - will be a good day regardless

I can't blame any of them being confident. We'd be the same if we drew someone we've not faced on a level footing for a long time, like Sunderland

I dont get the issue, im sure we would be cocksure of we were playing Wycombe or Oxford at home.

It’ll be a good test for us and could highlight the areas in need of significant improvement during the summer transfer window.
I expect Southampton to put out a full strength team. Their manager has gone on record as saying that they can’t win the league, but the cup provides an opportunity for success. I think they made the semi final last season

It is just like our fans disrespecting other clubs thought isnt it? Predicting 3-0 wins all the time when form says that isn't likely to happen

I fancy us to give them a run for their money. Not saying we'll win but if we are at our best we certainly have a chance.
