Southampton begin 2011 with a home game against Exeter. After hitting the top six again, this game will show us whether we can reach the same heights on a regular basis as that when we beat Huddersfield.
Saints have only the one player injured, Lee Holmes, and he is out for the season. Danny Butterfield should be ready after suffering from a dead leg against Huddersfield.
After breaking his long scoring drought Rickie might be ready to begin a run of games where he shows the form of last season.
Exeter have no injury worries ahead of the game. David Noble is hoping to have recovered from a minor knee knock and Tony Archibald-Henville should make a return after missing the last game through suspension.
Cureton has a good goal scoring record and will be a danger to our defence.
Saints have a magnificent record at home to the Grecians.
Played 9, won 8, and drawn 1.
Mr Dave Phillips officiates
Mr C Brooks & Mr C Lymer assist
Mr W Bull is 4th official
If we can play as we did once we got going against Huddersfield then I go for 3-1.
