Come on Saints! Lets show the rest of the league that we mean business, and stuff cardiff in the process. Will set us up well for the remainder of the season with the new signings bedding in. A close match , either 1-0 or 2-1 to the Saints tonight. COYR !!!

No Sharp in the squad because he wasn't signed before the midday deadline yesterday, but he is available from Saturday onwards. Expecting a big performance from the team & the fans tonight.

Questions need to be raised and fast, Another poor 1st half performance... bet Sharp is thinking if there is enough time left in the transfer window when we should be putting on a show.
45 mins.... and a draw is NOT a good result
Stats for tonight show Saints 0 - 2 Cardiff.
Hopefully, Sharp will help redress the balance. Fingers crossed that we can storm through tonight and regain numero uno!

Just a shame we couldn't take full advantage of West Ham's hammering at Ipswich.
Still in an automatic promotion place though & Sharp to come in now.

We've matched the team I think is the best in this league tonight. I'd have loved a win but we're in the mix and we're getting back to our best.
Looking forward to Monday. I'll be down the Dubliners for that with some local friends.
Night all!

Corners homework HAS to be done.... bang 100 balls in the box on the training ground.
Tough few games to come, Brum and WHU away....
Why don't we do things easy? .... why?

encourage by second half surge.
Can't wait to see Billy Sharp banging them in from open play!
See you all on Saturday.

Decent respectful result. Ref gave them their goal, stole a pen from us and did us no favours in general play.
Saints finished well.. all over em but could find our strikers.. couldn't score from critical corners.
Loads of reasons for optimism today.

$£%** !! A vital 6-pointer and we threw points away. Again a poor crowd atmosphere, only 1000 more attendance than Forest who are bottom. Still, our first home goal and point since Boxing day... and Ipswich have done us a big favour, also Hull failed to win at home agianst a Sharp-less Doncaster. Now for the big 6-pointer away games!! COYR!!

Apologies if you were .
It is difficult to force an atmosphere when not winning, and freezing your collies off!!!
Cardiff are the form team at the moment and are 3rd for a good reason. They are 1 point behind us and we are 2nd !!

Birmingham another form team!!!!!
So no problems there then, we knew they were going to be difficult games a long time ago.
That was before we started winning and raising our own expectations.
Still maintain even a play-off place is a success .
But winning this division is what we all want !!!!
