For me today is where this set of players need to show they are still very much in the hunt for a playoff place. I want to see a statement of intent from us and to go at Watford from the start. We need to be winning all our home games now without fail as we have left ourselves a mountain to climb. Lose today and unfortunately i will not see us as a playoff contender.

There is only an outside chance of us reaching the play-offs even if we win today. The problem will not be us picking up points, teams above us need to drop points and there isn't much sign of that happening for the top group. It will be a very hard slog to overhaul them all

Delighted to see Edozie back. Could still be an important player for us this season. Come on Saints! 

Wasn't he in the Man City academy? Hope he can rediscover the potential that got him in there in the first place.

Barring a continued, consistent, upturn in form I can't see us doing it either. But I do think a top half finish is probable. What would be gutting is to finish one or two points behind 6th and wondering 'What If' we'd beaten the Skates even once... :wave:

He’s picked a settled side and the one we’d have picked.

Yeah, I'm chuffed with that. Tonda and the team have settled. Let's see if the boys can put in a good shift.

Only 7 points off, those teams above have to play each other, and us. It’s in our hands.

I like seeing a stable team selection with round pegs in round holes. Edozie back is interesting, we have lacked a spark coming off the bench.

As for playoffs, we have lacked the consistency so far but we do have most of the teams in the hunt left to play and they will have to play each other. At this stage it’s not impossible but inconsistency to date doesn’t bring much in the way of confidence/expectation.

All we can do is win today and keep winning but can we?

Getting to the stage where there is little margin for error. What helps is that with more teams in the mix, they are going to be all taking points of each other.

Bit random but when did we have to start ordering all the food and drinks at the screens? First time for a while I fancied paying their prices for a bovril and a chocolate bar! I mean, surely even the staff who work there can work a card machine?  Can't be that difficult for them, surely? 

Oh.....good to Edozie back. COYS!!

Wouldn't bet on it. I was overcharged for a can of IPA because the correct button on the server's screen wasn't working and the supervisor had told him to put all beer in as the more expensive lager.  I eventually got an apology from the hospitality manager but I wonder how many people didn’t notice they'd been overcharged at about £1.25 a go.

something has gone on behind the scenes, there's no way you freeze out an asset to the point no one really made a concrete offer to sign him. I would love to know what he did because i can't believe he didn't do anything....it just does not make any sense.

Feel a bit sorry for Bragg not even making the squad at the moment, but I think he'll be a big player for us at some point.

Is he just not making the squad or is there something more to this, follow up to his injury/concussion. I know Eckert said there were no injury concerns but it makes you wonder when really it felt like he had broken through a few weeks ago.

Could just be because he’s 4th choice in CM and we want a more attacking bench?

He isn't a better central midfield option than Charles. It isn't a shock he'd miss out when Downes, Jander and Charles are all available.

I don’t particularly rate him but as option of bench for Scienza or Fellows then he’d an option at least, very strange

I'm the same. He's a nothing player, but he's our player, and crazy to have overlooked him completely this season. Something has gone on, perhaps a fractured relationship with a senior player who's no longer here, but who knows.

Watford a big physical team the sort of games we’ve struggled in this season 

I was just thinking that. Lets hope they take note for our promotion push next season, also a trend in the Prem.
