Conference Highlights |

On Michael Carrick
"Michael will train today and hopefully he will
be okay to travel,”
“We picked up one or two bruises at Blackpool the
other night - it was quite a physical game, but
we’ll still take a strong squad because it won’t be
an easy match; away games in cup ties never are.
“I went to see Southampton play Oldham earlier this
month and they won 6-0. They're having a good
season. They play good football and I'm sure they'll
have a go."
"It's a possibility [a
debut for Anders],” confirmed the manager. “He and
Tomasz will both travel."
ON Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain
“The boy has potential,” “He’s only young.
Southampton have done very well over the years in
bringing young players through and he’s another
one.” |
