Icing on the cake would be for Downs to get on the score sheet.

Saints still rarely looking dangerous from corners.

Bazunu looking like a bagful of errors.

Good to see Saints moving the ball quickly from defence to attack. Caught Charlton by surprise that we didn't pass it slowly around at the back to allow them to get back into position.

Typical of Saints to concede just before half time. The come back is on.

Ref's an absolute joke even for this league.

I seem to remember Saints being 4 up at Villa Park and just sneaking a win in the end.

Still not feeling comfortable just yet. 😁

0-4!!!!

Who is team in yellow and blue?? 0-3.

What is this new idea of actually running at the opposition rather than pass it endlessly around the back. 0-2 to Saints.

Arma with a free header from 8 yards. Missed. Again.

Another good chance missed. Theme of the season.

No nerves from me going in to this one. Maybe it's because I'm starting to get beyond caring very much.🤔

Those two wins consisted of a backs to the wall siege against the mighty QPR and a couple of scratchy goals against bottom of the league Wednesday. I'm really not convinced but if the bloke wins the next 3 then I'll eat humble pie. Otherwise St Mary's will not be a pleasant place to be.

Up the table we go - a bit anyway. Not exactly the sort of performance that it'd get the interim manager the gig though.

Where the hell is Manning?

Stream died.

Saints have totally conceded the pitch to Wednesday. All in pen area.

Williams on for Downes. Brave! 🤔

The number of crosses that Saints allow the opposition is something that the new manager is going to have to address. Myself, I'd go 4 at the back with the full backs told that their job is to stop bloody crosses, especially with Bazunu in goal.

We'd be better with two wide full backs, two central defenders and an extra man in midfield. Wednesday strolling into acres of space must fancy their chances.

Shot low down to Bazunu's left - goes in. Now there's a shock. Saints have stopped playing for some reason.

Intensity dropped off. Wed already had a couple of decent attacks.

It surely can't simply be a choice between O'Neil and Carrick can it? Neither fills me with any optimism. I think I'd even prefer another hipster gamble.
