On balance of play Saints probably deserve to be ahead. All a bit rushed in the final third though. Austin to come on and score in the last minute.

Oh yeah. Forgot about that. St Mary's will continue to be visitor friendly then.

Build a 2nd tier on top of the Northam and chuck the away fans up the back of that. All done for the same cost as one more record signing failure.

Beginning to think there's some sort of St Mary's hoodoo. Even that win against Bournemouth had an element of luck. Opposition seem to like playing there, especially with their supporters camped behind a goal. Solution. Stick another tier on the gasworks end and plonk the away fans up there well away from the pitch. Mind you we might be back in Div 1 before that ever happens at this rate.

Yes. It would have been easier to stay on his feet and shoot. Not that I'd expect him to hit the target.

Can't score and can't defend. Doesn't bode well.

Started well and then tailed off badly. St Mary's has turned into a bit of a jinx ground.

Typical.

Hoedt nearly scores. At the wrong end.

It would ave been easier for PEH to get a shot off. So why didn't he?

Stupid dive.

Saints very poor with 50/50 tackles.

Jeez! Defence is useless.

Powder puff defending.

Some pretty good possession from Saints but we're still lacking that finish in front of goal. Ings unlucky just before half time. Leicester not very good but Saints look vulnerable when they break. This has 0-1 written all over it.

Seeing the full range of Everton dives now.

Keep giving away these stupid free kicks.

The Everton marking was worse than Saints.

No pressure on the Everton players at all. They just stroll into our penalty area without any problem at all.

One way traffic.

Defending corners and free kicks launched into the penalty area will be moments of worry with that line up. Maybe we simply plan to outscore them.

Ings looked lively and seemed up for it. Denied a clear penalty at the death. Let's just forget about the first hour or so shall we?

Saints defence worries me. Standing off opponents and allowing them to easily get balls into the box is never a good plan. Also giving away too many silly free kicks which just allows Burnley the chance to stick one in the area. Lucky to be at 0-0.

Saints an absolute shambles. Lucky to still be in this.

Saints lucky to get the offside decision there.
