Saints 2-0 Oxford - Match Thread

[JohnnyShearer2.0]

Well controlled game today. 

THB switched off completely and could have made the game a little dicier at the end.

Edozie looking better with each game. Larin put himself about.

Good run and assist from Fellows but the poor fella is never gonna score this season. 

Win the next two games and Saints will nearly be there.

Workmanlike and professional display. Felt we we were playing well within ourselves and could have stepped up another gear if we needed to. They offered very little, their one big chance they fucked up. Certainly have bigger tests in the next seven games 

I'm fairly sure Tonda instructs the players to play with low intensity in these scenarios, probably based on data to preserve fitness and avoid injury. Goes against my instincts to go for it and score more goals but could pay off in the run in if we have full squad to choose from. 

We could have scored a few more today with better finishing but no complaints on the 3 points. 

Going to be a mental week back with Arsenal , Wrexham and Derby to play

Didn't see the game today but just saw the goals. Shea Charles, wow take a bow son, that was a proper wonder goal! Le Tiss would have been proud of that strike I think iin his heyday. 

And good to see Fellows with the assist for the 1st, shame he couldn't have scored with the rebound chance at the end. Still feel he could be an important player in the run in if we can get him confident again.

Just because it's worth watching again

He's put some serious bend on that.

Was sat in block 20 just about in line from where he hit it - there isn’t a goalie intbe world that was stopping that - the curl was immense.

But isn't is great to be at the tail end of a season and have so much to play for?

Actually looking forward to the next Saints game and can't say I did that last year.

Autos shouldn’t be ruled out.

Mad I know. But teams will be taking points off each other, we gained two today!

Having a pint and reflecting. Don't get to go to many games now due to life, etc.... 

I'm reasonably sure that Shea Charles goal is the best I've ever been present for. Just unreal.

For me it’s close between Shea’s today and Martina’s against Arsenal for goals I’ve seen with my own eyes.

First time in ages I don't predict a 2-0 and we win 2-0.

[Baird of the land]

Enjoyed that today, lovely sunny day 2 early goals to settle the nerves.

Shea Charles is such a classy player, deserved mom winner.

It's hard to put them in order but for games when I've actually been in the stadium it's competing with:

• Osvaldo vs Man City
• Thomas vs Ipswich
• Lambert away at MK Dons
• Lallana vs Hull
• Pelle vs QPR

Plus a whole smorgasbord of free kicks from Lambert, Vignal, JWP, Bale and randomly Chris Baird.
