 and welcome to our first preview show of the week here at Vitality Stadium. Neil Perret joins me as we look ahead to some midweek action in the Carabao Cup. Here's what's coming up today. We'll be looking back at that brilliant 3-1 win at St Mary's on Friday night. We'll also be discussing the under 21s and their progress in the Hampshire Senior Cup. And finally we'll be looking ahead to the game against Burton on Wednesday night. But first we're going to start back at Friday night and that superb 3-1 win at St Mary's. Let's take a look at the goals. Joshua King down the left side of the box for Billing. This is a terrific build-up. Is there an end product? Harry Wilson! Yes, there is! Now some space for Shay Adams on the left-hand side here for Sadampton. This one is swinging in to end. Steve Quick comes in with a challenge. Pedalty! Sadampton with walled crows. Could halve the deficit in this derby game. Here he comes now. And he does scores. A good penalty. Ramsdale places it on the floor. Clears it long. The four minutes are up by my watch. The time for that substitution is being added on by the referee as Callum Wilson tries to nip through! He's going past gun! Well what a fantastic win that was. Neil, we've finally done it and we've finally won at St Mary's. At long last it's been I think it was the 16th attempt in the city of Southampton. A memorable and fantastic night like you said. It was nip and tuck but you know obviously Callum's goal right at the end sealed it and everybody knew that was it and some fantastic footage on on the club website they've seen of the the fans celebrating. It was a real real win for the fans because you know they've waited so long to go there and you know taste victory and it's happened you know and it put the you know went up to third place in the league as well which was an added bonus. I know we slipped with a few other results over the weekend but hopefully that can now be that you know the Everton win and that win springboard now to go on to some some great things this season. And of course as you say it was a great win three goals as well to back up the three we scored against Everton. Yeah three good good you know some fantastic goals are being scored it's been goals galore this week you know when you look at the the women's team the under-18s team the under-21s and the first team just so many goals being scored you know the ethos and the philosophy you can see it in some of these team goals is all coming out now throughout all the levels it's just making the goal of the month the goal of the month competition is just going to be so impossible every month we keep scoring goals like that. And let's talk about that second one that Harry Wilson goal it was a great team move wasn't it? Well like I said I mean you know the manager make sure that the philosophy in the ethos starts right down you know with the under-8s the under-7s if you go and see them training you know they're all playing the same way you know and then that's coming through all the age groups right up into the first team and you know it's leading to goals like that one and goals like the under-21 scored last Tuesday night as well playing out from the back loads of passes and then a finish it's just fantastic to watch. Of course it could have been more as well Joshua King was given offside for a very very tight decision but VAR correctly got that one right? Yeah not big fan of VAR to be honest none of the Southampton players seem to complain when he scored I think if that one had stood I don't think anybody would have batted an eyelid at all we also had the penalty shout which was could have gone either way Steve Cook's probably was a penalty in hindsight when you've seen it again so the referee certainly got that one right but Joshua King really really unlucky on Friday night finishes up on the winning team which is great but I think he you know his efforts have deserved a goal you know deserved a goal playing slightly an unfamiliar role but playing it so well and you know the team are really benefiting from his efforts there. You mentioned Joshua King there he got man on the match on Friday and he was brilliant on the wing wasn't he? Absolutely fantastic I mean he's made no secret of the fact that he would you know rather play up front you know he says he's a striker and he's been scoring some goals for Norway up front but you know the last two games 3-1 wins the manager certainly got things right with who's playing where so long may it continue. And let's just talk about that second half it was nervy for a while wasn't it so I've Hampton got that goal quite early on and then you know they really ground it out at the back didn't they? Well let's be honest at halftime you know the Southampton manager's gone in there and he's probably they've got nothing to lose they're 2-0 down the next goal is you know going to be important because if we'd have got it 3-0 it's almost killed the game they got the next goal and they got it early as well from a penalty which we said probably was a penalty so obviously it's going to be you know backs to the wall then but what a fantastic defensive effort from everybody not just the back four you know Steve Cook and Nathan Ackier obviously a fantastic partnership possibly developing into one of the best partnerships in the league can dare I say Steve Cook's performance got people talking about him being called up for England again which you know can't be far away now the way that he's playing but you know maybe in seasons gone by we might have conceded a second and possibly lost the game like that but just shows you how the strides are being made that you know we've come on we held on we dug in got the third goal and killed them off in the end. And 6 in the table 10 points it's a it's a great position to be in isn't it? Well it is fantastic when you look back you know two or three weeks people were sort of a little bit concerned because you know we hadn't made a fantastic start losing at home to Man City well you know drawing you know with with Sheffield United and then losing at Leicester I think it was after the Leicester game you know some but people were rather prematurely pressing the alarm bells but now all of a sudden back-to-back wins we've matched our best start in the Premier League after six games with 10 points you know and we didn't really push on last season when we got to 20 points because we've got it so early so let's see if we can push on this season and keep it going and who knows where it could lead us to. Absolutely well a brilliant win for the first team there and it was also a great week for the under 21s who made it through in the Hampshire senior cup with an 8-0 win over Basingstoke. Let's take a look at the goals of that one. Reaches Hamilton on the edge of the box it's a good challenge there and a shot by Kilkenny it's into the bottom corner a really good strike from the Ennirishment. One nil here on the FCB TV. It's Gavin Kilkenny does well to win that ball back and he can drive forward now Kilkenny. Good opportunity here looks to chip the goalkeeper from distance and it's in! What a goal by Gavin Kilkenny! An unbelievable strike from the Ennirishment. He's right plenty of options in field. One of those is Alex Dobre. Dobre to Hamilton. That's a great knock! Scrimshaw shot! Off the post he'll get another go! It's in! Really good finish from Jake Scrimshaw. Captain Dean Stone, Ruben Collins were both sent off in that one as Lloyd Kelly drives forward now for the Chairs. Kelly to Jaden Anthony. Lloyd Kelly with a chance to cross. It's a low on Scrimshaw. It's in! Cool as you like. A great cross from Lloyd Kelly and Scrimshaw did the rest. Hamilton's away here. Checks infield. Anthony, pace the attack and Anthony goes a goal! What a strike! Well the goals have been of a high standard tonight but that's up there with them. What a finish for Nesting to the top corner. Combined here as Anthony drives forward. It's got Kelly on the outside. Finds him. Kelly cuts it back to Killkenny on a hat trick. Drills one low! It's in! It might have taken a nick on the way through but I'm sure Gavin Killkenny will claim that. Will Dennis now looks to get an attack going from the back. Dennis finds Killkenny. Charlie obviously Gavin scored a hat trick. He's not really known for scoring many goals but just tell us how he's been working on that side of his game. Yeah like I said earlier he's always working hard. He's always in the gym you know working on his finish here and working on his game. He's been with a first team obviously. That's probably improved him in a sense you know. I mean he's trained him a lot. Just interrupts you here as Lloyd Kelly drives on a goal! What a finish! Back from injury and he's on the score sheet. Lloyd Kelly brilliant drill shot. Low into the bottom corner. Hamilton drops his shoulder and drinks his side. He's got Anthony in front of him if you can find him and he has found him. Anthony beats one. Looks to chip the goalkeeper. Eisen! Jaden Anthony just like Gavin Killkenny has lobbed the goalkeeper and found the net. Well what a win for the under 21s there. Neil you're at the game and there were eight fantastic goals there weren't there. There's a cliche you can only beat what's put in front of you. We beat beat basing Stoke 8-0 they're not there they're struggling in their own league they're obviously non-league. They've been relegated and the bottom of the league they've been relegated into. They came here and you know we fielded a really strong side and you would have expected us to win comprehensively. We did. It was a very professional job. A very strong side like I said. Great experience for some of the under 21 lads to play with some of the first team players and Sean Cooper and Mark Mulsey will be looking at that and thinking that that's a job well done. You know this is what we're here to do. Produce performances like that not just the goals it was the performance as well it was clinical it was comprehensive it was emphatic and there wasn't many people here and you know if we get if we don't play at home too often in this competition but if we do get a home draw in the next and play at home I would encourage people to come along because there's some great talent to be seen in the under 21s in the under 18s and below. And you know you talk about the great talent there Gavin Killkenny it was a superb night for him and what a hat trick. Well we were sitting there watching the game and then all of a sudden this lob came out of nowhere from 40 yards and it was just quite remarkable to see. I was scratching my head. I've been here and watched a lot of games here and I'm not sure I've ever seen a goal scored at this ground from that far out in all the time I've been coming. I don't know other older supporters might correct me and say that they do remember one. I remember Darren Anderton scoring a free kick from about 30 yards but this was a good 10 yards further out. It was a fantastic goal from an absolutely incredible talent Gavin Killkenny. We've seen his emergence in the past couple of months in the first team but he's obviously been doing it at the under 21s in seasons gone by so he's certainly got a bright future ahead of him. And we saw goals like that being scored from 40 yards and then we also saw a brilliant goal which was finished by Lloyd Kelly and it was great to see him back on the pitch wasn't it. Fantastic I think I said he looks like a Rolls Royce of a defender he was absolutely so classy on Tuesday night really looks the part looked like he could step into the first team if required even now after you know a seven or eight week layoff I think it was look very fit very athletic bombing up and down that left hand side. I think the manager described him as in the sort of vein of a traditional Bournemouth left back. You know people will remember where we've obviously got Charlie Daniels who's sadly out injured at the moment but he's another traditional Bournemouth left back people like Jamie Vincent and Paul Morel you can reel them off and you can see that Lloyd Kelly certainly got that in his locker. We saw Lloyd Kelly play we also saw Simon Francis play and and for someone that you know injured his ACL back in December his first minutes back on the pitch he settled in well didn't he. What an absolutely fantastic what a sigh of relief that he must have breathed when he came out of that tunnel nine months you know he's he's he's an older guy as well so to get that injury is going to be slightly more difficult for him to overcome you would imagine I don't know I've never been through it but you know the way that medicine is these days guys are getting over these injuries a lot quicker and a lot better as we've seen with Callum who's had two and when you watch him play you wouldn't think he'd ever been injured the way he the way he's come back from his so hopefully Frano can be the same there's a chance that he could feature on Wednesday night in the Carabao Cup where it remains to be seen the manager certainly hinted at that that would be great to see him back there. Absolutely and for a couple of youngsters we had Dinesh Galehler and Ryan Glover pay their first minutes as well which has perhaps gone a little bit unnoticed given Simon Francis and Lloyd Kelly out there. Yeah of course I mean you know there's injured players at all all levels and you know when you're sort of 19 or 20 it's never good to get a really long term injury I know Ryan Glover's had a long long time out no football a really infectious sort of character we interviewed him after the game and you can only wish these guys well when they come back. Dinesh was a strange injury I think it was a dead leg to start with which you know you'd only think someone's going to be out a few days but then it led to other other complications so it's great to see him back he looks like a quite a powerful imposing central defender so two guys for the future and great to see them back on the comeback trail and just for those players who are in the under 21 squad what a great experience for them to come and play here. Yeah like I say we normally surrender home advantage in the Hampshire Senior Cup I know that the manager Sean Cooper and Carl Fletcher before him always wanted to you know see the lads go away cut their teeth at some of these you know non-league grounds Wessex League wherever it is but Basingstoke have like I said had their problems their ground sharing with Winchester we wanted to play some first team players so we wanted to we came out of the hat first we played the game here and you know playing under the lights on the main Premier League ground fantastic experience for the lads. Absolutely well our attention now turns to Wednesday night and that Carabao Cup game against Burton let's take a look at what Eddie Howe had to say in this morning's press conference. To try and get through is the is the main objective um however we do that you saw in the last round it was a penalty shootout that wasn't ideal but we got through and in cup competitions it's just about being in the hat for the next round that's what we'll endeavor to do winning is the only thing that really brings a squad together I think you can do loads of other things but winning is the ultimate determination the group is to is to produce better performances together with the results so that's what we're keen to do. I think we're we'll wait and see um before naming the squad we've got a couple of injuries from from uh Friday night hopefully nothing too serious so uh we'll see you know what squad we take so there'll be opportunities for players I hope they grasp it with both hands um tough game whenever you go away from home um to lower league opposition you know they're very difficult matches we know Nigel Kluff obviously from previous encounters we know he's always organized teams and always difficult teams to beat so you know we look forward to the game but we know it's going to be tough. Well that was Eddie Howe speaking this morning ahead of tomorrow's game against Burton Neil another midweek game under the lights up at the Pirelli Stadium what can we expect from Burton it'll be another tough tough test won't it? Well certainly I mean they're going to be they're going to be looking to progress as we are uh they're doing reasonably well in league one I know they've had a couple of hiccups in the last couple of games uh but Nigel Kluff will certainly have them very well organized they've got home advantage they'll be looking for a for a Premier League scout which is what we are now you know sometimes maybe lose sight of that because you know we were there you know not long ago we were we were the league one league two club looking to upset the apple cart in these competitions but yeah I mean you know certainly I'm really looking forward to when to uh to Wednesday night when we play Burton because we could have some more injured players coming back it's going to be great to see who the manager picks could see some people that we haven't seen a lot of so it will be great to to get them back on the comeback trail and we've got fond memories of playing at Burton don't we talking about that promotion many years ago? Yeah it was 2010 we clinched promotion from league two to league one uh it's the only game we've had at the Pirelli Stadium I remember Brett Pittman scored and Alan Connell scored right at the end and everybody went wild obviously as you would when you're winning promotion but what one of my most fond memories of that day is how accommodating all the people at Burton Albion were you know it was their first season in the football league I seem to remember if not sec first or second but you know it was a real celebration for us and they just let us enjoy the moment and celebrated probably has they had the year before when they won promotion so they knew you know it was fresh in the memory for them but you know there was no jobs worth sort of attitude where there could have been at some places you can't do this or you can't do that and I think that's really struck up of an affinity between the two sets of supporters you know thanks very much for letting us enjoy our day you know really really appreciated it and as for Burton you know last season they had a fantastic run in the Carabao Cup and they got to the semi-finals against Man City so they've got a good history in the competition don't they yeah I'm not saying that they're going to be hoping to go one better and put that right you know obviously not but that you know they they've only been in the league for sort of you know 10 years so they haven't been playing in the competition very long but when you look back at their history before being in the league it was a rapid rise they were climbing through the leagues I think we plagued them in the 56 57 cut run that we had and they were in the Birmingham senior league or something like that so I know that was a while ago but they were in the lower leagues for for a for only a short period of time and it was a rapid rise so fair play they've done really well to get to where they are and in terms of us as you said we could have some injured players coming back and also also some players that might not have had the game time they'd have wanted this season yeah well we've spoken about Lloyd Kelly and Simon Francis I think there's probably a chance that they they could feature Arnaud Dandume as well as another one on the on the road to recovery and I think the manager you know dropped his name in and said that he he could also feature on tomorrow night against Burton Albion so it'd be great to see him we only saw him fleetingly in preseason before he got his injury and then you know other players coming back obviously still got Lewis Cuckoo still you know wants some minutes under his belt to to get his full fitness back so let's see what team the manager picks absolutely and and you know we've got the likes of Jack Simpson as well who will be a great experience another game time for him should he play as well yeah jackson as I said with Steve Cook Nathan Ackie forming such a fantastic partnership at the back there it's going to be difficult to get in ahead of those two but you know who knows what could happen down the line there's injuries there's suspensions and stuff like that and Jack Simpson will know that this is his chance to show that he's ready when called upon if selected of course I'm not second guessing the manager's team but this is what you know this is what this competition has been all about for us in the last few years you know we've reached a quarter fine all the managers made a lot of changes every time um but you know we've gone gone to the last we've gone to the last eight in the last two seasons so hopefully we can go one or two better this season absolutely and of course you know we've had back-to-back wins and to get another win on Wednesday night that would just keep the momentum going into the weekend wouldn't it well that's what you need we said we've got West Ham on on Saturday West Ham have hit some form as well we need to keep we need to keep the momentum going like you said with a win you know I'm not saying a defeat at Burton would you know you know put the put take the gloss off everything I mean that's certainly not the case but you know winning breeds confidence you know we've seen that with you know we beat Everton after the Leicester defeat we beat Everton and we went into the Slampton game full of confidence and it showed in the performance the comfort the performance was full of confidence and um yeah so if we can sort of keep the run going on tomorrow night that'd be fantastic absolutely it's going to be a very exciting game indeed if you are going to Burton we hope you have a safe journey up there but if not make sure you keep an eye on all of our social media for the latest updates bye for now
