Saints fannying around at the back nearly costs them again.

Cardiff offer Saints a glimpse of an opening but can we take advantage?

Cardiff win it.

Cardiff equalise.

The EPL is much less fun than the Championship but I still want to see Saints playing at the top level even if it means only occasionally sticking one on the corrupt so-called big clubs these days. That said, it's going to require a trip to Wembley to achieve promotion this season just so long as Saints can stop conceding goals in the play-off semis. All that to watch Saints get beat most weeks. 😬

Need another 6 points this week. Nothing less will do if we're going to keep up with the top two. This league is relentless.

Yes indeed. Plenty of times, young man. Admittedly Stephens does have some work to do yet though. 😁

Stephens growing into the Beckenbauer role.

With our defence we just have to make sure we score at least 4 in every game. Easy peasy.

Now can Saints hold on?

This is pathetic.

Wouldn't be surprised if Saints managed to lose this game.

Adams misses. To not take 3 points from this game would be unforgiveable.

So typical Saints. 3-3 from a misplaced pass.

Just stick it in the net Saints.

Ref will probably try to even things up.

Harsh red card. Now just take advantage Saints.

Another good chance goes begging.

Tippy Tappy and give it away.

Just take a shot FFS!

Saints with 16 shots and 7 on target and 1 goal. If we had a robust defence that might be good enough.

Approach work has been better in attack and Saints could have easily had 3. Trouble is the defence is so much all over the place that Birmingham could easily have had the same.

Come the play-offs we're going to have to score at least 5 goals over two legs just to reach the final if we concede 2 each game. I'd prefer Bree at full back.

Saints profligate again. Nothing new to report there then.

Conceded two early goals yet again. It's become a habit.
