Marvellous stuff from Saints, isn’t it great to support a good team again! If we finish second, can we decline promotion? 😃

Haha and they’ve missed a penalty!

Tony Mowbray 1-0 down in his first game in charge of Wayne Rooney’s Birmingham.

Skates 0-2 down too! 😃

I’m starting to get used to this whole enjoying Saturdays again thing!

Haha, nice one fishies! 💩

A point not too shabby. This unbeaten run is remarkable but hopefully it’s not impacting the way we approach games, or how we defend leads.

Well you live in hope I guess. There's also the small matter of our away game at Ipswich. Sadly, that damaging home defeat to them (and Leicester) will probably end up being our downfall in terms of automatic promotion.

Slight difference is that Rickie was 34, and clearly past his best, when he signed for Cardiff. Ings is only 31 (a year younger than Rickie was when he left us for Liverpool). I'd love to have him back, could make all the difference in the playoffs.

Indeed, and I can live with that.

Thought I'd dredge up this thread as I have to give credit where it's due. 14 games unbeaten (and counting) is a hell of an effort and we should all be feeling pretty good about things after the dross we've had to suffer in recent years. I think today's result is the one we've all been waiting for to believe that we've really turned a corner. We may not go up automatically, but we're definitely no longer an embarrassment and that's all I wanted. Well done Saints! 😇

Messi taught him that!

Tom Lockyer is "alert and responsive" in the tunnel.

What a shame, proper kick in the nuts that.

Frustrating result to go with the Rotherham one unless we can nick it at the end.

There’s only one chope though.

Used to love the old 3-1 score lines the last time we were outside the Prem! 😊

Shame really. At best, we’re now looking at three points but with a rather deflated feeling (unless we knock a few in late).

We just do not do clean sheets do we?

We don’t have much to whinge about really? So what do we do for the next 15 minutes?

What is this feeling I’m experiencing, a mix of happiness and confidence. I feel dizzy.

Haha of course, how did I forget that! I think it's been so long that I'd given up hope that we'd ever do it again. In that case, we've had some real progress lately, a win by a two goal margin and a clean sheet!

Fair point. That was a very enjoyable 10 minutes.

Indeed. It’s a great quality, one that serves all the best teams well, but it would be nice to win a game comfortably for once (we haven’t won a league game by a two goal margin in nearly two years).

Not sure if posted already, but we’d be eight points worse off and in 21st place in the league without the last ditch goals against Sheffield Wednesday, Norwich, Plymouth, Hull and Preston. Great resilience, but worrying that so many of our points have been salvaged this way.
