Do you really think so. I have done a little more digging, and on current form (last 6 games) we currently lay 15th, the same as our league position, so I am guessing those teams below us may be thinking their team is shite too.

At the beginning of the season, we would have taken a draw at Southampton every time!!!
We now could do with winning at home vs the nasty ******** on Saturday.

As far as results go, it's not a bad night........but I look upon GIFT games as points lost. I'm not crazy enough to think we can win all games but when presented with Penalty kicks, I want three points not park the bus after 20 mins, after going 1 up, and hope to get something from the games. Why hand the initiative to the opposition, when there is no need to. Mad tactics IMO

Reading the comments tonight, you would think we lost 5-0 tonight
I was just thinking the same thing.
I still think we'll stay up.

Totally agree.
Let's be positive. Tonight was never going to be easy, credit to our team fro staying in it when so under the cosh.
Ahem, Kosh.

I was unhappy with many things tonight but getting a point, I am not.
March should never have given that free kick away. Then it all went tits up, I was screaming at the tv for them to sort that non-existent wall out. Their player tried a low shot to the near post and they got lucky but if Izquierdo had stood next to March, he would have cleared it easy. Although I hate the relentless defending, it's the unforced errors that they make that really gets me. There was no excuse for not having a two men wall.

Absolutely dire performance. Tactics poor and players out of sorts
No, what we have to look at is the teams around us occasionally winning games and picking up three points - sometimes even against one of the 'Big Six'.
Nobody is really saying 'go for it' in a daft way - some people seem to think that any variation on the current tactics would automatically be 'gungho' - there are alternatives! Playing like we generally did in September and October would be a start...............................

strong and stable with me, or...
Can't disagree, I'm clinging to the positive that we gained a point, scored, and Ulloa looked sharp. Our wing play though is particularly bad, our lack of quality from wide positions is alarming.

Great post mate.
We’re still fighting and there will be a lot more twist and turns before the end of the season.
We’ve got a great chance of staying up. And a better squad than a month ago. So let’s get behind the team who have done pretty well on the whole this season. I’d have taken this result tonight.

You have to attack, have shots, create opportunities to win games......
That’s what I like about some posters. Despite it pissing down with rain, they always think the sun will shine tomorrow.

Drew, I fail to see how a 1-1 draw, even if we were out of sorts can be achieved (at this level) via a dire performance?!? I don't think we were massively lucky to be honest... I agree we're not playing 'well', but dire would surely be reserved for a 4 or 5 nil demolition?!?
I don't like the tactics but, a point is always better than an agonising 3-2 or 4-3.
Let's keep the faith, and likewise until the absolute utmost need, let's refrain from drawing out the long knives.

At home we do, we just don't score enough!
That's because we're British !

Bloody hate all that staying in the game mantra. Give the team some belief they can beat a poor Southampton after being 1-0 up after 14 minutes.

This morning, we were 11-8 to go down, which means it wasn't likely. Tonight, the odds are out to 6-4, which means it's slightly less likely than it was a few hours ago. We got a point - and denied a team below us two more. The amount of handwringing on this thread is weird.
