Churlish to complain but 2-0 up and drew the game? Before the inevitable question, 2 points lost.
Inferior side yes - but they do try and play properly I think.
The manager or the team?
But yeah was real noisy today on my stream, could hear you guys sing that "when the Saints go marching in" over and over again.

Shame Gross was half an inch offside. It made no difference to how the goal unfolded. Frustrating.

Fair result, sadly. We had a real chance at 2-0 to put the game to bed but poor defending gifted them a way back into the game. At least we scored and didn't lose. Not much fun, though. Saints our bogey team.
It's one thing fans on here moaning about the ref - it's par for the course - but when an ex-pro like Warren lays into a ref to that extent, he really must have been a disgrace.
He was poor. But he didn't cost us the game - we did that to ourselves.

in fairness after 3 very tough away games I'll take that as a good point.

There is obviously some issue with playing at home and to be fair GP has not had the crowd on his back! No issues with our away form / performances but you have to agree GP needs to work out how to get the wins at the Amex!

The second half negatives outweigh any positives today. We allowed an ordinary side to dominate in the final 45 minutes, unforced errors being the talking point. I'll get over it tomorrow and realise we've had a good season, but for now, allow me a good old fashioned whinge up about missed opportunities.
Even Graham made an ironic applause when the ref gave the wrong team the throw-in for like the 12th time in a row.

Just so frustrating to throw away a 2 goal lead but at least we've scored at home and it was entertaining

The proverbial game of 2 halves.
Possession 49% v 51%
Shots on target 5 each
Corners 6 each
So the stats would indicate a fair result overall, but we still can't win at the Amex.
At least it was 2-2 and not 0-0 for those attending.
And a decent game of football in the sun.
Things could be worse.

I struggle to take anything 'good' out of that second half

Draw was just about the right result. First half was a 10-8 in our favour, second half a 10-8 in theirs.
Onwards and upwards.
And the ref today (and his linesmen) were absolutely dire. I don't think I've ever seen Potter angry like that at the officials, which says a lot.

I mean its a team sport, they win and lose together. The wins against Spurs and Arsenal were team efforts, the draws and losses at home are team efforts. Its not as simple as "the manager decides if you win or lose".
Many years ago a team, whose identity I can't remember, had a similar disparity between their home and away form. Their home results improved after the team were taken to a hotel the night before as if it was an away match. Could it work again?

Some very strange decisions have to say - stopped play for offside when we were breaking, a good number of fouls given against Brighton that weren't or were weak when similar Southampton ones were play just allowed to play on.
I don't think Southampton were a bad side , their passing was pretty good and they looked faster and fitter, by no means a rubbish team.
Some bad defending mainly because the midfield was weak.
I like March but his inability to take responsibility for passing and shooting is beyond me. Cucurella put in a fantastic ball and really don't know how he failed to connect.
Whether or not he cost us the game - and that's something we'll never know, because any decision to give or not to give a free kick can change a game - that doesn't preclude him being a disgrace.
