Just back from the game

Me back too. Thought we played very well 2nd half, could and maybe should have won it with the pen.
Did you hear their managers interview after the game? He must be derranged, sounded like a spitefull child. Asked if he thought it would be saints and albion fighting it out for the title, he replied "if they can keep up with us", what a dick head.

Greer was immense as was Ankergren

the first half was the most tense 45 mins I have witnessed in years but we finally started to play when Murray ( who was different class) and Jamie came on in the 2nd half. Having been under that much pressure and getting a point feels like a mini victory and we could have nicked all 3 at the end.The back 5 were immense and Casper my MOM. I think we will take many positives from this and start to re-build our form....

I don't think Casper made any mistakes, a faultless performance.

We recovered very well from an appalling first half where we gave the ball away time and time again.
Fair play to the Saints they forced us to change our style and direct play worked in the 2nd half and we should move on from here.
Lesson learnt for me was Battipiedi is simply not good enough (yet) though has time on his side, was pushed off the ball far too easily.
Any news on El Bad ?

I thought the 2nd half was pretty exciting. Both teams had great chances. You missed your pen, Lambert missed a ridiculous header and there were numerous situations for each team.
Having said that we should have been out of sight at half time. How the ref missed our pen appeal is beyond me. Lallana pulled down as he's about to shoot ! Over the 90 mins we deserved the points I would say.

Batti is simply not [currently] up to it.

That was no different to the penalty we got so maybe some Karma

Well you didn't deserve 3 points as you did not score! But it does sound like you should have had a pen!

The praise for Kelvin Davies their keeper was immense and not just for the penalty save - What does that tell you
Southampton definately the better team in first half but generally didnt feel threatened at all - Great second half
Watched game in opposite corner to the Albion masses - Support came across very loud -need more songs though

Saints really need to sort their fitness. Lots of their players pulling up with cramp and I'm sorry, but Lambert just looks fat.
I thought we were worthy of a point in the end. We were very poor in the first half but I didn't feel that worried about Saints. Much better in the second half especially when Smith and Murray came on.
I think we can take a lot of positives from this result and can see us regaining our form again.
Hope El Abd is ok.

Big game for the saints they wanted to send out a messgae by winning that game and through the kitchen sink at us from the start.
We kept cool and defended well and came into the game at the end of the half and played well in the second.
Theirs was not a penalty he was half a yard in front of the defender and just dropped to the floor could'nt see any contact, should have been booked for diving,
Ref was a homer and gave them the 50/50 decisions plus was very weak on two poor challengers from them.
Good point

Job done, we held in there first half, played better second half, and Murray did very well> Batti not good enough yet.
Dunk was superb, as was Ankergren.
Murray needs to be starting though, clearly our best forward.

Ankergren - I've been critical of him but he was brilliant today. Dunk came in like a duck to water, seamless transition from El-Abd to him was very impressive. Hope El-Abd is ok though obviously, heard someone say it's a bad cut but nothing more serious?? No idea if true.
Battipiedi isn't cutting it, I know we were missing a couple of players in midfield, but Smith showed far more.. everything. Barnes and Wood - I don't mind which, one of them has to partner Murray. That's how it has to be.Wood's penalty wasn't as good as his previous one, if he'd just rifled it like he did against Bristol Rovers we'd have 3 points.
