Whilst Paul Simpson is working around the clock to bring new faces to the club he may have one or two new players to add to the squad after Wednesday night's Cup exit at Vale Park.
Danny Dichio is said to be back fit again after missing the last couple of games along with experienced midfielder Brian O'Neill who recently featured for the reserves. Both will be needed to add some much needed experience to the side. Joe Anyinsah is also said to be back in training.
Southampton have had a relatively good start to the season and will be buoyed by the massive Cup victory that they had in midweek. Burley appears to have the Saints well organised and they are one of the sides tipped for promotion this season. It will be a tough test for the visitors and one that they will be grateful will be over if they can get a result.
