That ball out from their 'keeper found Manning totally out of position. Dangerous free kick is the result.

Now go on and score some more for a change Saints.

Azaz. Great shot. 1-0.

Manning got lucky there.

Those QPR lads look on the big side. 😐

Oh good. Another opponent with a long injury list. I think we know how this ends.

Another must win game then. Need to start converting chances into goals.

Main worry for me is Jander. He hasn't been on his game recently to say the least. Would have preferred Charles. Other than that - fine. If we score more than once we should win but when was the last time we scored more than once at home?

Yes that is concerning. Today's match in a nutshell really. Nowhere near good enough for play-offs.

We'll end the season 4 points behind.

Saints needed a killer instinct in that game. Instead too much slow, sideways, lackadaisical stuff early on.

Two points thrown in the bin. The urgency in the last 10 minutes is what was required first half.

Nothing working for Saints in attack. Desperate.

Heads have gone.

Saints now a bit of a shambles.

Saints have totally lost control of this game.

Just got too lazy.

Given it away in our own half one time too many. 1-1.

Stephens should buy a lottery ticket. Lucky boy.

Fellows is destined never to score. Should be 2-0.

Just what the doctor ordered. 1-0. Hopefully this will open things up a bit.

Anything other than 3 points today is going to be quite a disappointment. Need to jeep the upward momentum and I'd like to see much more urgency with that in mind for the 2nd half.

Saints with loads of possession that has created a few reasonable chances. Nice move with Manning hitting the bar. All about slow though and too many final third balls nowhere near finding an attacker. We're obviously much better in the second half these days so with more intensity, more bodies in the box, more speed Saints ought to get the required 3 points. Although Charlton have created the odd chance so I'm going for a pessimistic 0-1 result.

Have to say that the extra time performance with all those youngsters doing so well certainly confounded my expectations - and probably Eckert's too. Certainly offered us a positive insight into the future. It's going to be Norwich away next up isn't it?

Eckert's going to be very disappointed with that result. He clearly wanted to lose but he forget just how crap Leicester are.
