Head saying 1-2
Heart is saying 2-1

Our advantage is that Adkins will know the strengths and weaknesses of their team.

Our season now is about not finishing bottom.

Saints fans mocking us for having 40 odd tickets left to sell.

Those seats are £42 and £47 for adults, which is ludicrous at best for this fixture.

We've also averaged 97% for home attendance this season, which is better than Southampton!

[maffff]

Adkins will know the strengths and weaknesses of the Southampton side and how to beat them, whether he has the players that are capable of winning though is a different question.

Playing a style of football that they clearly aren't comfortable with yet and a fairly settled away team, I can see a resounding away win for Pinocchio's men.

0-3.

a rejuvenated team, players look like theyve been brought in from a dimension where reading are top 4, adkins carried from the stadium to the purple turtle on the shoulders of the crowd.

More importantly, what does Adkins order when he reaches the Turtle?

Another dismal loss.

The only highlight being that a new world record is set as 7,658,236 quotes of "Against his old club" are recorded throughout the whole social and mass media spectrum over the weekend period.

N.B. "Looking at the differences in transfer budgets" "New boss" and "New managerial appointments by both Chairmen" also rack up respectable numbers.

All of whom were diehard Reading fans.

0-3 or 1-3. Not at the races. Unfortunately at the Mad Stad.

St Mary's holds 32.5k people I'd imagine they've had far more attend their games then ours.

Not in percentage sold of home tickets sold they haven't.

Think we'll win this one.

No, but i think that misses the point. Filling a tiny stadium isn't as good as nearly filling a big one.

1-0, Pogrebnyak

Odd one to call. On one hand, there is the possibility of an improved performance at home in NA's first Mad Stad outing as boss. The supporters there will be nervous and waiting for the first error to get on the players' backs. Southampton, meanwhile, have had impressive performances and results of late - especially at home. But what is their away form like? The first goal will be crucial. If Reading get it, I predict a 2-0 home win. If the Saints score first, it could be a 3-1 away win.

All the other sides are much better than we are (Hardly a clever point I know we are bottom). I do not see us getting anything and we will have to face Saints fans laughing at us and NA looking shell shocked at what he has let himself in for. Hope we put on a decent display as we have not seen many of those this season!! Let's at least go down with a fight. Saints will see this as the game that if they win will keep them up. I expect them to go for all 3 points. We cannot play 4-4-2 as we are woeful in this league with that formation. I would like to see Akpan, Guthrie and Karacan start in the midfield but will probably have to put up with the usual ML.

Hope we can put on our best display of the season. If we lose this one I think we may as well play the kids in the final games and allow NA to experiment. It is probably a fight over who finishes bottom now us or QPR.. I think they will do us too. Our squad is laughable really at this level. We create little and look like conceding with ease.. Perhaps everything will click into place on Saturday and we will beat Saints 4 - 0!! Let's battle!!

We would easilly fill 35,000 if we had the stadium for it (probably not to watch our current crop of hoofers). We have to face humiliation over the next few weeks but I believe we will return in a few years and be in a much better position. In a bigger stadium with a team that is attractive to watch.
