Bizarrely, I'm confident. Top 2.

I actually think we have a good Championship squad (even with a few leaving) - just a dire Premier League squad.

God, we are dire

Brilliant stuff. Didn’t flinch, didn’t fold.

I think we should have the Mary Rose on the club crest. Ok, it's actually in Portsmouth, but I think Henry VIII once visited Southampton.

I'd hope the job spec is an ability to escape the division and have a fair chance of surviving in the top flight. Dyche has a great record there.

In the Saints bar at the Villa match, Alan Curbishley was a guest and he suggested Sean Dyche. Is Dyche still on the open market?

No chance. Although we do have a fair chance of beating them at their place.

Relieved to get to 11 points. I guess we are "ahead" of Derby on goal difference unless we conceded about 16 goals more than we score in the next 5 matches and lose them all. (possible, I guess)

I'm sort of assuming/hoping we bring in about £100m quite easily (Dibling, Ramsdale and Fernandes). That should provide some sort of basis for rebuilding the squad. But we will probably spaff it away on re-signing Guido Carillo or some such like.

Quite the thing that I think all of us would now accept 3 points from the remaining 9 matches and finishing bottom with a grand total of 12 points.

That's rather what I mean by a lack of leadership. No one to lift heads.

The greatest failing - amongst many - is the complete lack of leaders on the pitch.

We are miserably shit.

When was our last straightforward win before this one? I forget! Just grateful to be reminded how easy it is to beat run-of-the-mill Championship teams...a feeling I hope to get used to again next season.
