Crawley Away Papa John’s EFL Trophy Won 0 – 4
Much improved performance from the U21s, finishing on a high.
Aston Villa Home Won 1 – 0
Not just Friday night football, but bonfire night football too for the visit of Aston Villa – the empty seats in a quoted 30,000 crowd suggests a number of season ticket holders preferred bangers and toffee apples to sporting excitement, but the broadcaster involved ought also to consider how people are supposed to get home […]
LSCC 40TH ANNIVERSARY MEAL / AWARDS EVENING – FRIDAY OCT 29th
REVIEW OF THE SEASON 2021 The club’s 41st year saw us play our 447th match welcoming two new players into the club taking our overall total up to 211 who have represented the club over the 41 years and play one new opponent (Old Chelmsfordians) taking the number of teams that we have competed against […]
Watford Away Won 0 – 1
Ward-Prowse and Elyounoussi returned to the side at Watford but Broja remained absent due to the injury he received against Burnley (so he would have been unavailable at Chelsea anyway, notwithstanding contractual reasons) and Walker-Peters filled in at left back, as he does when the opposition have pacy attackers. That opposition had conceded five, then scored five […]
Chelsea Away Carabao EFL Cup 4th Round Drew 1 – 1 Lost 4 – 3 on Penalties
When a manager of one of the elite clubs starts on about a crowded fixture list just days before a League Cup tie, you know what’s coming. Thus with Chelsea‘s Thomas Tuchel: his XI to face Southampton was much changed from their Premier League starters, but because of the depth of his squad, most (but not […]
Burnley Home Drew 2 – 2
With no new injuries and a continuing suspension, an unchanged line-up was expected against Burnley but the coaching staff see things we don’t and in came Wallace for Djnepo – they probably now admit that was unwise. These opponents are annoyingly difficult and it’s important not to give them anything to cling onto, yet Saints […]
Leeds Home Won 1 – 0
Thanks to Mike Dean’s one-directional eagle eye, Ward-Prowse was suspended for the visit of Leeds – not necessarily a bad thing as JW-P hasn’t been at his best lately and now was an enforced moment to make Southampton less predictable. Adams was also missing thanks to an international duty injury – again no bad thing […]
Chelsea Away Lost 3 – 1
No doubt Ralph had an idea of what worked at Manchester City when sending out an adventurous looking team, including Tella and Walcott, at Chelsea, but other than a headed opportunity for Walcott, the home team were on top for most of the opening half. They took the lead within the first ten minutes when […]
Wolverhampton Wanderers Home Lost 0 – 1
Saints had lost the last two home encounters with Wolves despites holding deserved leads, but that was against Nuno’s expansive Wolverhampton, and under Bruno Lage they are much less easy on the eye; Ralph included Walker-Peters at left back, presumably to counter the threat of Traoré, but he sat out most of the game on […]
