A touch in their box. City will have to be wary.

Almost got to the edge of the City penalty area. Progress.

No strikers at all. Musk has thrown in the towel.

Musk has probably given Tall Paul defensive duties this week with a instructions of marking Haaland in the middle of a back seven for Saints. I suspect Saints won't plan to venture even as far as the half way line very much in this game. Expect a near empty stadium by the end.

That was reminiscent of the early season Russball. Slow, passing backwards/sideways, hardly any attacking threat at all and easily beaten by a not very good team.

Can't even get a cross in to the box. Hopeless.

How has Skipp not got a 2nd yellow?

THB loses more of his value.

Musk has clearly given up now.

Leicester easily play through the Saints press, get the ball forward and have a shot.

First thing Dibling does is to lose the ball. Results in Leicester corner.

Saints get in a position to cross the ball and it ends up back in our own half. This is rubbish.

That many? Did he kick off after the goals?

To be fair it's only Leicester that seem to have any desire to actually score. These boring defensive tactics just are not working.

Has Stewart had a touch yet?

FFS Stephens

Whoever the new manager is he's going to have quite a job to drive out the Russball fetish. Maybe it needs an exorcist.

Who saw that coming? Leicester goalless run ends with Saints handing a free shot to Vardy.😐

Many years ago this used to be pretty standard as a tactic.

3-0 up and then conceded 3 in 5 minutes apparently. 😇 Nice to see a Saints win though.

SMS is a pretty bland stadium and nothing like The Dell to help make opponents feel the pressure. On the contrary, I suspect opposition teams look forward to having a pleasant day out at St Mary's.

I read that today's result makes it 28 points lost from winning positions this season. That's nuts. Can't believe we've taken the lead that often.

If nothing else, that game showed how dangerous crosses into the box can be. Have to have someone there to attack them though.

Fulham should have been out of sight long before that winning goal. Saints really showed that they're a team of middling Championship players with a losing mentality. Doesn't bode well for next season.
