That’s a decent point given the opposition

Exactly. Will get sharper with game time, just like Wright has.

Kitching and Thomas were getting all sorts of shit from a few on here. It's one of the best centre back pairings in the league.

I wouldn't say he was a huge improvement. I like Eccles but I only remember THAT corner from his performance. No dangerous forward passing or moving of the ball.
Click to expand...

I would 100% agree with this

he was ok, and broke up play a little but nothing memorable - brought more energy but then again my nan coming off the bench on 90 plus minutes would too…

he’s a good squad option, but we need do invest in the midfield desperately in Jan

Yeah, I meant more short passes or overrunning the ball, running it into touch or poor control - but maybe the knock affected him

It's a shame I think he has a tonne of talent and will continue to build!

A good point against a good side - one of the best in the league. The Eccles/Palmer switch should have happened 10-15 earlier. Kitching looks better every game. We need more from Simms in that formation but overall we’re improving nicely.

Thought Robins got the tactics spot on. Just a shame he didn't make the changes 10 minutes earlier. If only we had been a bit more clinical.

We could of brought Simms off for Eccles or Palmer, I thought he was totally ineffective tonight.
But on a plus point I thought Wright is continuing to improve and took his goal well.

Agree with most of that, but thought Simms looked poor.
Good to see Wright get on the score sheet, after giving him some stick on here I have to say he's improved since the last international break.

Poor for his price maybe, but if godden was there god help us, simms ran a lot and held the ball up a few times.

The thing with Simms is he is strong and holds the ball up well, and has actually got a great turn of pace too when he gets going

He does need to add goals playing in the main central role, but his work holding the ball and bringing others into play is arguably better than Godden’s

Decent result. Defended so well. Disciplined press. Shame sheaf let us down with an error. One of many. But we were a match for them and wright scored. Good result

We are a decent solid team. And sometimes decent solid teams make the playoffs and get promoted.

Simms is like our Lynden Dykes, his overall game is quite solid. If he keeps up his hold up play and off the ball work the goals will come. But he’s improving

So good having the home fans so close to the away fans again. Improves the atmosphere. Excellent numbers from Southampton.

Simms just said in his interview the game plan was not to chase them down too much. Just to wait for a mistake.

You’re literally pretending it didn’t happen because it was that bad… what an argument to honour Josh Eccles, well done.

Thought that was a great point against an in-form side. Defence brilliant, the back 4 working brilliantly once again.

Sheaf was surprisingly iffy tonight, a lot of balls given away in the midfield, it seems crystal clear to me that we need to invest in the midfield in January. Palmer added some energy coming off the bench, as strange as it sounds I think he’ll make a decent impact sub. The team worked really hard though, credit to all of them tonight.

Coming out the ground I was trying to think of a more frustrating City player, Huckerby came to mind, though for different reasons.

Yh ultimately will take the point on that one … very evidently a better side than us so I think I’d be a bit frustrated as a saints fan that they were so patient so late in the game (was only the last 10 it got a bit more pace).

Yeah seemed obvious after about 20 mins. Really well executed. Had sheaf not made that mistake maybe we win. That said they had some good chances after equalised so draw is fair

Decent point but feels like a loss. Palmer looked lively which I'm please about. Allen quiet for him. Sheaf great at winning the ball fucking awful at anything else tonight. Wright took his goal well. Simms had a nothing performance. Defence looked solid. Tats a few decent tricks but looked a bit tired.

What's the wow for @Sky Blue Pete ?
