Larin taking a well-deserved rest there. No go again, mate.

Saints trying to play out from the back not working so far. That's better.

Saints conceding a lot of free kicks.

Nearly substitute time.

What the hell was that corner?

Saints brought that on themselves. Swansea will fancy this now.

Penalty to Swansea. Saints have been far too slack this half. Just what was not needed.

Slack fannying around at the back. Saints lucky

Wake up Saints. That was too easy for Swansea. Still 2-0.

How about a Lincoln-style up-and-under from the restart?

What we don't want is a slow start to the 2nd half letting them back in early on. Statement of the obvious I know but it needs saying. Get a third and then Tonda can start to think about his subs spreadsheet.

Saints have won 83% of aerial duels. Like that.

Can't argue with 2-0 at half time but they've had good chances to score more. Finishing still a bit rusty.

Saints gk with a minute to go and it results in a Swansea fk.

Quite refreshing to see Saints actually playing the ball forward more quickly. Another chance goes begging though.

Good break from Saints. Larin with a tidy finish. Swansea very open at the back if Saints defence can hold firm.

I'd be interested to know how many shots Saints have blazed over the bar this season so far. There's another one.

Azazzzzzzzzzz!!!!

Azaz with the first shot blazed over the bar. Should really score.

Swansea looking to nick the ball high up the pitch as expected.

Haven't seen a Saints win so far. Is this game on telly?

Tonda needs to deal with the game situation being played out in front him rather than to refer to his spreadsheet plans for those coming in the future. Why change things when only 1-0 ahead and pushing for a 2nd goal? Going 3 at the back at the end was pretty much waving the white flag and throwing in the towel.

.

Given the current form and decision making it might turn out to be a greater punishment for Saints if he's let off.

I've seen a number of examples this season where many players have been unable to do that.
