More points dropped. Not really working is it? Approaching the half way point of the season and I'm still wondering when we're going to see RM's style of play start to pay dividends - if ever. Yes there's plenty of possession but not much in the way of end product. Hardly any clean sheets either. I think we can forget about automatic promotion. Even with this unbeaten run we've not made up any ground on the leading two. If we fail in the play-offs then I'd expect Saints to be in this league for many years. Just hope the football gets a bit more appealing.

When I look at the Saints squad I just think we should be doing better than this. And then I remember the lack of a prolific striker, something that I should be used to by now. Saints should make the play-offs but I wouldn't bank on them having enough to win through that sort of tension at the moment. Who knows though, by that time things might be starting to click at long last. I think we can now forget about automatic promotion.

I'm not blaming Baz for that. My blame goes to the mentality of thinking that a one goal lead is enough. That is on the manager.

If you want promotion from this league you do not throw games away with stupid mistakes right at the end. We might make the play-offs but expect similar disappointment there too.

Another 2 points thrown away.

You're joking. What a mess.

Please don't tell me we've used all the subs.

Fraser looks poorly. Nasty.

Looks like the plan is to hang on for 0-1 then. 😐

Giving the ball away like that is unforgivable.

Just get a second please Saints.

Aribo looking good.

Nice finish Che. I was expecting a miss given how much time you had. Come on Saints. Build on this.

Better this half but still looking vulnerable while failing to take chances.

Interesting looking at the half time stats there. Saints worse in just about every respect except pointless possession. Are we still waiting and hoping for this to improve?

The number of pointless free kicks we give away are mental. Always gives a team of big players a chance to lump it up there and leaves our chaps under the threat of yet more yellow cards.

This is not a team that looks anywhere near to promotion material.

Living dangerously. Question is, how much worse (or better) will we be after half time?

No point celebrating a corner. When was the last time one looked dangerous?

All in favour of keeping the home fans quiet but have we actually created anything yet?

Has 0-0 written all over it. Mind you haven't seen much yet.

Good win but how on earth did it only finish 2-0? Could have tidied up the goal difference a bit if not for that abject finishing in the 2nd half.

Saints corners not looking dangerous as usual.

Saints finishing is woeful this half.

Che showing his form.
