Agree with post, and they definitely need to get on the front foot more. Having said that, Saints had the best chances they just didn't finish. That's been the issue all season, the inability to convert chances into goals, has really dragged us down. They've been on fire in a few matches, but most games it has been a grind. As you say credit where credit is due, it's working.

Fabulous win, the players were running on empty but kept going. Norwich were desperate for the win, and threw everything at Saints. I thought they absorbed it well. Tonda is clearly big on game management. Doesn't do my nerves any good, but it worked. Winning ugly is sometimes essential. Oxford will be a test, they'll come to frustrate. It will be interesting to see if Saints have the energy and creativity to overcome that. Good to have Peretz behind the defence, I thought Jander looked out of sorts, Bragg is the better option imo, he looks so assured. Azaz MoTM for me, he put a real shift.

Watford winning takes the pressure off a bit. Whilst we want a win, even a draw moves us closer. The play offs are a party we are definitely not invited to, we're currently sitting on the wall outside with a bottle of white lightening. Someone is going to drop their guard soon and we are in, ready to cause havoc 😀

Stellar decision to let him go

Another two for Ballard tonight ..... 20 goals in 30 matches .

Only once has more than 75 points been required (Fulham needed 80 in 2017). 6 wins from 9 for Saints, should be enough. There will be losses, it's inevitable, and that's going to lead to some serious knee wobbling from Saints fans. This time 2 years ago Saints had 73 points, way more comfortable. Do we, and more importantly the players, have the mental strength to cope.

The number of home games is a bonus. Gives Saints a small edge. Max possible points for Saints is 84. Middlesbrough, Ipswich and Millwall only need 5 wins and a draw to match that. One at least will manage that so autos aren't realistic. Although if Saints keep the pressure up it may unnerve them Playoffs are looking good. As others have said 75 points should be enough.

What a brilliant game, credit to both sides. Saints bossed that midfield and deserved the win. Warriors all of them, onward and upward

This was never going to be easy ws it

Unfortunate caught his foot

Coventry won't give a shit about GD , they'll throw everything at Saints now.

Archer should occupy them but wrong to take off Bragg. Bet Downes is over run now

Coventry stepping it up now, Jander is the weakest player, seems a bit behind the play. Time for Charles maybe

Manning time

Goal from Downes, excellent
