Devoid of ideas, devoid of fight, devoid of a plan B. Weird team selections, weird subs, really need a reset. Right now, Saints look like a shambles in all areas of the pitch with no threat. The Rothwell loan signing was a strange one - why did we not keep Alcaraz?

How the hell is Edozie a better option than SAA or DIbling?

Very disappointing last few games (WBA apart). Seem to have lost our mojo and really disappointed Meghoma, SAA and Dibling are seemingly not going to get a look in. We look devoid of ideas and completely toothless up front.

Very strange subs.....

If we get promoted we will get destroyed in the Prem. Not that I think we'll get promoted: the wheels seem to have come off big time. Bazunu - shocker Aribo - anonymous Edozie - absolutely appalling Brooks - very poor Defence - non existent and no defensive midfielders: Smallbone has had a good season but he is not a holding midfielder. Still, at least we had 80% possession: did pretty much nothing with it mind

I never realized that, shockingly, CHe Adams has never (in his 4.5 seasons here) managed 10 league goals in a season. This year is his best chance as he has 8 right now

MIserable bugger - nothing wrong with that at all.

Mara was sensational. Sulemana was not good - typical George Lawrence impression - and S Armstrong was really awful. Mara should start next game - he has some lovely skills and must be full of confidence right now. Saints dodged a bullet there - fair play to Huddersfield. They were the better team for most of the match and never gave up.

Don't understand how Sulemana gets on instead of Dibling.

As bad as Saints have been today, Huddersfield have been excellent and much the better team. And saying that we equalize! What a game but Saints have still been abysmal

Perhaps a blue card?

Would like to see Meghoma start next game - Manning is just not good enough

Manning has been appalling

Wow - what has happened today? Huddersfield have been excellent but Saints have been woeful. S Armstrong and Adams off at HT - they have been abysmal but the whole team has been very poor with the exception of KWP

Add what wazzuck is having a pop at Bazanu for that goal? It was a lovely goal from Huddersfield and no way can you blame Bazanu for that.

Fair play to Huddersfield. Been much the better team first half. Saints have never got going

Not really been commented on but Smallbone made a huge difference when we came on. Seriously underrated player: we took control of midfield once he came on. Hopefully for the replay not as many changes - but keeping the unbeaten run going is impressive.

Rothwell stepping it up? Really? He has been terrible IMO. HIm and CHarles have ceded total control of midfield to Watford

This is shockingly bad. Alcaraz with the dumbest booking possible. Bunch of strangers. Rothwell was a very weird loan signing and looks appalling....but then so do the rest of the team. This is as bad as it has been for a long time and Watford look like they could score every time they come forward.

Absolutely agree......with 2 pacey wingers you'd be able to see the smoke from files away. Could SImon Gillet still do a job for us? That would be razor sharp then

I cannot remember the last time I got so much enjoyment from watching a Saints side (probably the MLT era under Bally). Watching the first half from here in the US my mouth was agape at the sheer beauty of the play and 5-0 at HT would have been fair. 2nd half was a pretty poor performance - but we kept a clean sheet thanks to Baz who made a couple of great saves. Stephens is getting a lot of flak (and he was very poor with his passing) but the whole team played poorly in the second half. KWP looks brilliant going forward but we leave gaping holes his side that lets the opposition in. 21 unbeaten and 11 unbeaten away - an incredible achievement in a league as competitive as this where anyone can beat anyone else on a given day. Tougher tests lay ahead but we have given ourselves a real chance of automatic promotion and even finishing as champions. For the first time in a long time, it's a great time to be a Saints fan.

Now, now @trousers. Take the flak with good grace.....the naysayers have been proven totally wrong and the flak those supporting the process during the earlier difficulties were hammered. One thing we can all hopefully agree on - it's a bloody brilliant time to be supporting Saints right now. We are a joy to watch and our home record is unbelievable after many years of mediocrity.

Really looking forward to seeing more of him. His control, touch and aggression for a 17 year old were immense. There could be an outstanding player there - very exciting to see one of our own coming through. We have an embarrassment of riches right now - really think we can still catch Leicester

Leroy Whale was another one - went to Bitterne Park school and was highly regarded for a while. Was a bit of a Billy big bollox at school but then that was understandable at the time.

I know quite a few on here are not fans of the style of play under Martin but I am absolutely loving it. This team is a joy to watch and after years of mediocrity, watching a winning team and seeing (from afar) the whole mood around the club change so dramatically in such a short space of time is wonderful. I love the way the team plays out from the back and draws the opposition in, allowing us to break at pace. Obviously we will lose eventually - and it will be interesting to see how the team reacts - but for now I cannot remember the last time I enjoyed watching a Saints team so much (probably Adkins team, and prior to that Nicholl's team. Under Koeman we were functional as opposed to exciting to watch IMO. What a great time to be a Saints fan.
