Sending off! Aluko the youngster

Confidence is key. Azaz is on fire but that was classic Leo that goal. Lovely touch from the midfielder too (was it Jander?)

2 nil and we are cooking on the counter.

Absolutely beautiful goal! Azaz!

Jeez Quarshie, kicked his own foot i think

Damn that was close. Credit to Baz when it's due, he got down well.

Great save Baz!

Vestergaard nowhere. Now capitalise on it lads!

Get in Taylor!

I love a through ball, we definitely seem to be trying more of them under Eckert

Bodies being thrown defending there. Woof.

Shot from Leo, well over. Looking very lively again.

I wish I was working tomorrow, I can watch about 60 minutes of this game then I'm off to work to deal with the tail end of the Chelsea/Barcelona game for my sins.

Couple of dodgy bits from Quarshie early on, then a promising run from Leo and an early attack for Saints was offside.

Could be a bore draw. But with the likes of Scienza, Fellows, Azaz, AA, Fatawu and Mavididi on the pitch I'd be amazed if there aren't goals goals goals

I’d rather have Quarshie than Vestergaard. He’s got the raw materials to be a good defender, he’s not going to improve without game time either. Our other summer signings (bar Downs) have started to click, let’s hope it’s Quarshie’s turn.

Points for Eckert for dropping him if he feels Quarshie is the better fit tonight. Downes in for Bragg. More of the same please Saints.

My mum is in goal. SCDAJFU

Well he won't need a Halloween costume next year, he can just go as Cousin Itt.

And Trent (TM) who was a big part of their attacking impetus. But yeah, this is the first season they're struggling where they can't point the finger at the other big clubs and say "look at how much you spent", when they've spunked so much themselves. VVD, Alison, Salah and Robertson are old too, lots more changes to come for them. It goes to show how one bad transfer window can make all the difference. They're not going to start dropping down the league but it has opened the door for Arsenal, City and even Chelsea to start competing for the title again.

It's possible he could be a confidence player, hit one in and he starts a run. But then I'm one of the idiots that thought the same of Sekou Mara.

Incidentally 10 points separate 3rd from 20th. League is still wide open.

Love the Ceefax app. Old school.

As in a pre-season promotion contender.

They've scored 7 goals in 10 games. We've scored 10 in 3. Keep our goal rate up and we should be ok. Reading Foxestalk they say there were more positive signs for them today though, Begovic in goal was one. We have history with him.
