Ward-Prowse, the last man standing on the day-one bleep test, heads a list of players who could leave in the coming weeks “He hasn’t expressed at any point that he is desperate to leave but you have to accept that someone of his quality will attract attention Not one player has said: ‘I’m not going to play.’ There’s been no one not trying or no one too cool to try A few of them were adamant they still wanted to be in the Premier League and I said: ‘No problem as long as you’re back in training and you wait for that moment to come.’” Before pre-season Martin held conversations with many of the squad He also spoke to the former Saints players Fraser Forster and Nathan Redmond and former teammates at Norwich where he was twice promoted to the Premier League – once as captain – only to be relegated straight back “When you’re a player not playing for the top six or seven [in the Premier League] your first thought process is: ‘How quickly can we get safe How can we get to this number of points?’ It will sound crazy but it’s not overly enjoyable sometimes Which is madness because you sacrifice so much to get into the Premier League and then you don’t enjoy it while you’re there Free daily newsletterKick off your evenings with the Guardian's take on the world of football “Our job is to get the club back to the Premier League Martin wants his players to enjoy themselves at Southampton in their pursuit of promotion Photograph: Matt Watson/Southampton FC/Getty ImagesIn recent weeks Martin and his staff have accommodated as many as 28 players at training and there is a need to taper a bloated group especially given the appetite to blood youngsters such as the 17-year-old forward Sam Amo-Ameyaw “It needs to become about who is going to help us at Sheffield Wednesday and who is going to be part of the journey One thing unlikely to happen at the team hotel on Thursday is a round of initiations for the new signings Shea Charles and Ryan Manning the full-back who has followed Martin from Swansea did a rendition of The Lady in Red at Peterborough and at Norwich it was Don’t Stop Believin’ “I had to regurgitate that a few times because Paul Lambert enjoyed it so much; me and Crofty [Andrew Crofts] did it together,” he says The amount of nervous energy that was wasted the day before the first away game … it would occupy their whole thought process.” a summer reset and evidence of an exciting possession-hungry style have whet the appetite A chef at the hotel where Martin and his staff have been staying bought them a round of coffees after an encouraging friendly display at Reading “We had a joke: ‘Get it in now because after five games you’ll be tearing your hair out asking us to kick it forward a bit more,’” Martin says “People were maybe expecting a really big name to come in – in general it’s what fans want – but since we’ve come in I’ve felt nothing but positivity I can’t wait for it to get rocking and rolling now.” This website is using a security service to protect itself from online attacks The action you just performed triggered the security solution There are several actions that could trigger this block including submitting a certain word or phrase You can email the site owner to let them know you were blocked Please include what you were doing when this page came up and the Cloudflare Ray ID found at the bottom of this page Please disable adblocker to support this website Open Modalf A very hot time for the festivals dedicated to castagna.
