Grimes was fine apart from one time getting caught on the ball

wolfy was just too slow the whole game

One of those games. We concede poor goals and their goalie pulls of worldies. We are still clear at the top with plenty of winnable games to get us over the line. Don't forget millwall, Ipswich and boro playing each other soon as well.

Nah I think that was their game plan. Hold out, play dirty and take the odd chance.

Not much of a ‘plan’ to be honest. Credit to their keeper who should be MOTM.

Losing Thomas was always a bigger worry for me than Rudoni.

Onyeka and Grimes were both poor but it was Saints' tactics that restricted them and we played right into it.

These are the really shit version of teams we'll play next year. It's going to be painful (if we get there).

I mean, it was pure luck they survived at the end, nothing more.

They didn't do enough to deserve a win.

midfield started the game to deep left far to much space in the middle for Southampton to park players in.

Tbf, they're better than their league position; they were undone by having Russel Martin as manager last year and came down only knowing how to lose. It took them a while to get out of that mindset.

Don't take your chances you don't score. I'm looking at you Woolf and Wright

Average performance but not the worst we've seen this season

Very frustrating game that.

Unfortunately I think the subs knocked us back a bit. BTA was much less effective than Eccles and Simms didn't seem to touch the ball for about 15 minutes.

We can't get precious about that.

Celebrating like that when you arent in the playoffs is like celebrating being given a cake from someone with visible eczema.

Had the chances but failed to take them. Haji’s header was a big big miss…anywhere other than straight at keeper was a certain goal. A few players below usual standard. Saints plan to slow game, keep the ball and break up play worked well. They took the two chances.

Subs were useless. Really don’t see the point of bringing Esse on I’m not sure he’s ever done anything off the bench.

Stop moaning, Saints did a good jobon us, had the boot been on the other foot we would be celebrating a great performance.
We didn't get alive to it until it was too late. Over confident comes to mind. Poor defending cost us. Missing chances cost us. In hindsight we should have won it today but got out thought and out fought.

Also guys and girls stop going on about them celebrating. We're 8 clear at the top, lost 1 home all season and they've beaten us. We'd celebrate it like fuck

Also think where they were 6 months ago with that football manager kid in charge to where they are now, no wonder they're happy

I disagree. Of the 3 teams behind us only Millwall can gain points on us over the past 3 games.

Doesn’t get any easier next week but hoping we see a reaction.

We are going to be playing versions of this team with the budget and draw used to assemble good versions of teams like this. Let’s not start crying about being relegated before we’ve even gone up.

I think we have to come to terms that BTA is probably not, in reality, the top-10 attacking midfielder he was at the start of the season.

I didn't understand taking Wright off, unless he's injured.

Teams literally have to get 3 wins more than us for the rest of the year.

We have Sheff W and no 6 pointers.

The 3 chasers all have to play each other.

Theres a reason Opta have us 99% likely to go up.
