Wigan 2-1

I can only hope that WBA will end up regretting all those missed chances they've had.

Actually it's Saints that more likely to concede at the moment. Not creating much at all.

Could be another of those games where Saints struggle to break down a team that we might have hoped to beat.

Scrappy thread and a scrappy game. Weather didn't help I suppose. Looked like hard work. Could've had all 3 points but could also have thrown away the one. Not too disappointed.

What's it to be then? Concede just before half time probably.

Or maybe not after seeing it again.

A bit harsh perhaps.

I'm disappointed that we didn't score more.

Another miss!!! Guly!!!!

Boruc is the calmest we have back there in defence.

Saints defence still looks panic stricken.

That should do it.

Saints need to finish this lot off. A one goal lead is too precarious.

Poor Saints defending again.

A 2nd would have been nice. Would probably have put Reading right out of it. Expect Royals to come out with some gusto after half time. See that off and then their heads'll drop once they concede another to Saints.

Spurning chances to put Reading to the sword.

Comical defending by Saints.

Panic in defence.

It has happened. 1997 - Sunderland 40 1998 - Bolton 40 2003 - West Ham 42 A couple of wins and a sprinkling of draws will do the job for Saints quite easily I reckon.

Nice to get to half time with a lead. Good stuff from Saints but just for once I'd like to see us popping the goals in that our play deserves. Don't ya just know that Ba will come on and score at least one.

Typical defendng

Saints rise to 15th.

Saints team: Boruc, Clyne, Yoshida, Hooiveld, Shaw, Schneiderlin, Cork, S. Davis, Puncheon, Lambert ©, Rodriguez. Chelsea Team: Cech; Azpilicueta, Ivanovic, Terry ©, Bertrand; Mikel,Lampard; Moses, Oscar, Marin; Torres.

What with Wigan gaining points with dodgy tackles, handballs and cosy refs, while Saints seem to enjoy throwing away points from winning positions I can actually believe it will be tighter than we hope.
