Southampton fans will be out in force at The Valley to collect what they see as an easy three points. Having won one match away and drawn at home, they think they are on a roll. If in fact the team and the fans are over confident, that may help us. They may just be reading off the result from our last two matches and football is not like that, especially with a new manager on his home debut and some changes in the team.
Incidentally, a disappointment for Jason Euell fans is that the striker is apparently suspended.

New Forest born Homer the Cherry Hound has been appointed match analyst for the game.
Meanwhile, in a dash for cash all Addicks merchandise has been slashed by a dramatic 25 per cent for the rest of the year. Please make all cheques payable to the Alan Pardew Leaving Fund.

Spot on. Infact, like it or not, I suspect that this so-called fringe support, which obviously includes those "football fans" who find themselves living in the catchment area by chance (lots of people move around for work and/or family reasons), is probably more important financially than the "core" support. Moreover, and I can speak from personal experience here, this kind of supporter can develop a strong allegiance quite quickly. Paraoxically, it might also be much less likely to boo when things aren't going well, but perhaps that's another story.
