Summary

  1. CLOSE!published at 13:01 British Summer Time 9 August

    Southampton 0-1 Wrexham

    Kieffer Moore is a PROBLEM for Southampton's defence, in particular Ronnie Edwards who can't keep his hands of him.

    James Bell penalises the Saints man again and it nearly costs them dearly as Lewis Brunt is left unmarked to head the curling set-piece back across goal and inches over Gavin Bazunu's bar.

    Saints fans have gone very quiet.

  2. 'Charlton need to get ball to Carey'published at 13:01 British Summer Time 9 August

    Charlton 0-0 Watford

    Former Charlton midfielder on BBC Radio London

    The midfield have to be better. We need to be looking to getting the ball in to Sonny Carey because he can be the bridge to getting the ball to Charlie Kelman and Tyreece Campbell.

  3. YELLOW CARDpublished at 12:59 British Summer Time 9 August

    Charlton 0-0 Watford

    Hector Kyprianou receives the first caution of the match for breaking up a rapid Charlton break with an agricultural hack on Tyreese Campbell.

    The ensuing passage of play finishes with Rob Apter curling one from distance that just goes past the far post.

  4. PENALTY APPEALpublished at 12:58 British Summer Time 9 August

    Coventry 0-0 Hull

    Brandon Thomas-Asante wants a penalty, but he's not going to get one.

    He takes a heavy touch which takes him away from goal in the box, he does however stretch to retrieve it and gets there a fraction of a second before the recovering Regan Slater.

    The Sky Blues man takes a tumble, and looks at ref Bobby Madley, but nothing doing.

    No VAR in the Championship, remember. if there was we'd probably have a seven minute stoppage for this...

  5. YELLOW CARDpublished at 12:56 British Summer Time 9 August

    Southampton 0-1 Wrexham

    Wrexham's Max Cleworth has his name taken after being spun on halfway by Jay Robinson and getting a handful of the Saints man's shirt to prevent him breaking away.

    As a Sheffield Wednesday supporter it was obvious Windass was going to score. How to run a football club versus how not to. Thanks a lot Chansiri.

    Ben. Sheffield.

    Cool from Windass, idiotic from Edwards.

    "We are top of the league," sing Wrexham's delirious travelling fans.

    Given the balance of play, it's a well deserved lead too.

    Dream start for Phil Parkinson and his players.

    Fantastic penalty, keeper went the right way but it was the pace.

    Both Wrexham strikers have started fantastically well. What a 22 minutes it's been, it's been entertaining.

    Wrexham have been direct and have been getting the ball forward. Phil Parkinson will be absolutely delighted.

  9. Postpublished at 12:53 British Summer Time 9 August

    Charlton 0-0 Watford

    First corner of the match goes to Watford and Hector Kyprianou is close to getting his head on it, just mistiming his jump in a crowded six yard area, going down when he needs to be going up.

    Charlton forced the first save but Watford are the better side so far.

    GOAL: Southampton 0-1 Wrexhampublished at 12:51 British Summer Time 9 August

    Josh Windass (pen, 22 mins)

    They're at it again...

    Josh Windass keeps his cool to slam a low spot-kick to Gavin Bazunu's left, just out of the keeper's reach, and Wrexham fans are celebrating their first goal in the second tier since 1982.

  11. 'Definitely a penalty'published at 12:51 British Summer Time 9 August

    It's definitely a penalty.

    Both hands were on Kieffer Moore.

  12. PENALTY TO WREXHAMpublished at 12:50 British Summer Time 9 August

    Southampton 0-0 Wrexham

    Kieffer Moore is threaded through by Josh Windass, drives towards goal and then goes down in the box after a push from Ronnie Edwards.

    He might be a bit fortunate to escape further punishment from ref James Bell there, he was the wrong side and nowhere near the ball.

  13. GREAT SAVE!published at 12:50 British Summer Time 9 August

    Southampton 0-0 Wrexham

    Chaos in the Wrexham box, Danny Ward produces a smart save to his left to turn away Shea Charles' first-time strike from 12 yards, the ball is worked back into the middle, another shot is blocked and then Flynn Downes slashes an effort wide of target from just inside the area, leaving him with head in hands.

    Charlie Hughes had a bit of a shaky start at the back for Hull and misjudged a couple of aerial balls but he's done brilliantly to hold off Brandon Thomas-Asante in his own box there and win a free-kick.

    Jack Rudoni's came close with an effort a few moments ago which was expertly crucially past the post by a Tigers foot.

  15. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 12:44 British Summer Time 9 August

    Southampton 0-0 Wrexham

    Josh Windass is having fun playing for Wrexham, you can see it.

    He latches onto a flick-on and is afforded way too much space to take a touch, come back inside and then curl a dipping angled effort across Gavin Bazunu's goal, beating the keeper but thudding into the top of the crossbar.

    Would have been a picture book debut goal.

    Not convinced by Saints pre-season games. The same old problems are surfacing. Leaky at the back, not enough firepower up front. I still believe we will finish top five, but we need to be convincing today against a Wrexham side with nothing to lose, and a lot to gain. When will we learn? Buying players with potential is not the same as buying players with proven experience at the highest level. Remember Norwich's yo-yo campaigns?

    I thought it would take Watford time to do what they are doing now which is having the ball. They will be delighted with the possession they've had so far.

    I'm surprised Charlton are playing out from the back at times.

    Watford should be pleased, apart from the shaky started they are now dominating and now it's about turning that into chances.

    Charlton 0-0 Watford

    Pinball inside Charlton's penalty area ends with a wild slash from Moussa Sissoko that flies yards wide. But Watford have settled a little now and are beginning to gain some possession.

  19. Postpublished at 12:42 British Summer Time 9 August

    Coventry 0-0 Hull

    New Coventry keeper Carl Rushworth does brilliantly to spread himself and deny Regan Slater who had been played in behind the Sky Blues' defence.

    The flag was up, but the keeper didn't know that. Great save and the debutant will have endeared himself to the home fans already.

    Southampton 0-0 Wrexham

    Not sure quite how many people are up on the West Coast of the USA for this game at 4.30 AM, but any early risers are being treated to a terrific spectacle so far and end-to-end stuff played at 100mph with 100% commitment.

    It's been a long 11 weeks. I've missed this.
