This week @ St Mary's: September 15th
Check out our latest weekly round-up as we offer you a comprehensive guide of everything that's going on inside Southampton Football Club...
STILL LAMENTS “WASTED” FIRST HALF IN DERBY STALEMATE
Will Still was left frustrated by a “wasted” first half, as his Southampton side were held to a goalless draw by Portsmouth in a forgettable south coast derby at St Mary’s.
The visitors came closest, with Andre Dozzell rattling the crossbar from distance early on, but each team only managed one attempt on target in a game that lacked rhythm throughout.
“I thought it was quite a poor derby,” Still reflected. “I thought our first-half performance wasn’t good enough, it wasn’t up to the standards we wanted to set, and it was quite a bitty, broken up first half – fouls, throw-ins, free-kicks, goal kicks that took forever and ever – so there was no real rhythm to the game, there was no real intensity in it. But we weren’t at the levels we wanted to be.”
SAINTS SET FOR TWO LONG ROAD TRIPS
Still’s side are back on the road for two long journeys in quick succession, starting with Saturday’s trip to Hull in the Championship. Our full allocation of 2,336 tickets has already sold out.
Saints’ Carabao Cup campaign resumes with a trip to Anfield in the third round next Tuesday, with tickets now available to all fans with a booking history from the 2021/22 season onwards.
The next home game will see Saints host Middlesbrough on Saturday 27th September (3pm BST), with tickets on general sale.
WOMEN SHARE THE POINTS IN EIGHT-GOAL THRILLER
Southampton FC Women travelled home from the capital with a point after an eight-goal thriller against Crystal Palace in the Barclays Women’s Super League 2.
Off the back of a super start to the season in last weekend’s 4-0 win over Ipswich Town, Simon Parker’s side scored four goals again in a very different affair.
Michaela McAlonie, Ellie Brazil, Tara Bourne and Meg Collett scored Saints’ four, with Bourne scoring from the penalty spot, in an end-to-end battle that was 2-2 at the break and finished 4-4 at full time.
Saints Women are back on home soil on Sunday against Bristol City at St Mary’s (2pm BST), with tickets priced at £10 for Adults and £4 for Under-18s.
UNDER-21S IN ACTION AT ST MARY’S
Our Under-21s host Burnley this Friday in a 7pm BST kick-off at St Mary’s.
Tickets are priced at £5 for Adults and £3 for Under-18s.
UNDER-18S EARN POINT AT NORWICH
Southampton Under-18s claimed at Norwich in the Under-18 Premier League on Saturday.
Sonny Rowland opened the scoring for the hosts on the hour mark, but Under-16s midfielder Max Little scored his first goal at Under-18 level to rescue a point in style, rifling a left-footed shot into the top corner from the edge of the penalty area.
Next up for Andrew Surman’s side is a home game against Tottenham in a midday BST kick-off at Staplewood on Saturday.
LIONESSES TO RETURN TO ST MARY’S
Southampton Football Club are delighted to announce that the England Women's senior team will play Ghana at St Mary's Stadium on Tuesday 2nd December (7pm BST).
