Juric Speaks.
Let’s bring in Southampton boss Ivan Juric, starting with a fitness update ahead of Sunday’s FA Cup tie against Swansea City : “I don’t want to rest [players]. I have 17, 18 players, maybe more, who are competitive. I just want to win the game.”

Juric confirmed defender Armel Bella-Kotchap has returned to training but said “we will see” when questioned on a date for his return.

Goalkeeper Gavin Bazunu will play for the under-21s this evening as he continues his rehabilitation and new signing Welington may also feature.

17 or 18 competitive players out of a squad of how many?

But will they be competitive against the Welshies?

22

That backs up some of the comments about players not being fit under RMs Butlins regime

Here’s the lads arriving at Staplewood earlier…

Are you there BT?. What did you do wrong?!

I am, not seen a win at St Mary’s for a long time, thought I might see one this afternoon.

Plus the girls are with their mum so I have some spare time…
