Saints boss Nigel Adkins admitted he is happy with his squad as the transfer window slammed shut last night.

The arrivals of Tadanari Lee and Billy Sharp have boosted Adkins’ strike options considerably, while Jason Puncheon’s return to the fold has also been a bonus.

“We’ve got good options now,” said Adkins. “From here on in I like to think we’re going to be very, very strong.

“What attack-minded players we’ve got and I’m really optimistic we’re going to keep exciting our supporters.

“We’ve got games Saturday/Tuesday, Saturday/Tuesday so we need to be strong and I believe we will be.” Full story in today's Daily Echo - together with report, reaction and pictures from last night's match.
