I stand corrected - so long as we get 3 points tuesday, a draw at boro - I will feel a little more confident going into the last game. I still think it's a big ask though - I dont think our confidence is very good right now.

I think that we have to win all of our games, because after the momentum that they have gained from today, WHU will win all of theirs.

If it comes to that - I don't fancy us at all to be honest. We are a footballing side (as we showed yesterday) but when that fails we don't have the toughness to force a result. Pretty football is not whats needed in the playoffs. It's sh it or bust now - we either do it or bottle it and find ourselves in this league for some years to come.

Stunning own goal.

Could well do, all the pressure is on us now. A couple of weeks ago we were 5 points clear - now those points have disappeared as have our goal difference. Just remains to be seen if our confidence has been blown as well - if if has - its goodnight prem.

Had we got anything from Bristol City, it could have all been different.

I wouldn't worry about gd now - we will obviously put 7 past cov on the last day of the season.

At the end of day, the bottom line is, it really doesnt matter what any other team does. Lets face it Brighton blew it inside the first 10 minutes - WHU are likely to rack up a cricket score, and their confidence will be sky high. None of it matters so long as we win all of our games. Now is the business end of the season, it's in our hands - only we can blow it.

So is this thread closed now....

I think that was what was commonly termed "the spirit of Southampton". Sent from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk

It would be absolutely criminal if we didnt get promoted now. We have (will have) done it the hard way - we have been up there all season to be shot at and lead from the front. As a result, everybody has raised their game against us. We have been the yard stick by which this league has been measured. Not to win the league is bad enough after all of our efforts, but to not get autopromo would be a real kick in the teeth for the lads. We deserve.

If we don't get three points from posh - this could very well happen. And, if we ended up in the play offs I dont think we would stand a scoobies.

Need a big big performance. Anything other than 3 points and I can see West Ham capitilising, I know they havn't put 4 wins togeather all season - but you just know that they could. Win this one - we are there.

Well said that man. Totally agree. Perspective.

I think that you might find that some people have motives other than entering into the debate when posting.

Wide, perhaps.

All that shows is how ineffective we were unfortunately. Need a real big performance at Posh on Tuesday, win and we will be fine - anything other and we could be heading for trouble. Shame about tonight - lots of pretty stuff, but no real killer punch.

Yep, that could happen, but so could.....

Ummm think they did Reading. Smashing them may not be too easy - they will fancy their chances after tonight. Edit: Actually, reading all of your post, how the hell were Reading lucky, we were not mugged - we were well beaten by a very organised team.

Agree 100% with this. For all our possession, most of it was in front of their back four, our finishing was poor apart from a few odd attempts. We were neither robbed or cheated - there were no pens in there at all. Yeah we played some nice football at times - but was it effective - nope. They had three chances, gave the ball some violence and scored every time. There was nothing lucky about their win tonight. Don't know where this leaves us in terms of confidence - but it ain't been a good night.
