As unlikely as us finishing in 2nd is, you can bet if we were in their position with a team like us rampaging up the table behind them, we'd have our doubts about seeing it through...

Very true.

[SNSUN]

This has been a very good statement win.

Unfortunately it looks that way

Saints are healing football.

First Arsenal, now Wrexham. 

Just gotta do Pep next.

[SNSUN]

Tasty.

[JohnS]

Footballs a funny old game!

 At times, we were on a completely different level to Wrexham

Great result - my MOM was Azaz - thought he was superb from start to finish 

Edozie the only real disappointment tonight 

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Wood has done really well since coming on.

We’d have to win every game realistically which is going to be tough. 
 

Although we do have pretty much 2 outfield squads capable of beating anybody at the moment… never say never. 
 

Things could look a lot different in 7 days time. 

[eurosaint]

Azaz MoM for me…. 💪

[saint michael]

Top top performance. Brilliant lads

[IronCitySaint]

Just imagine if the first half of the season had not been completely wasted. Fantastic tonight. Keep it going.

[Saint NL]

A real statement.

Fantastic stuff, very professional. Anyone believe we wont go up? 

[Baird of the land]

Lovely stuff.

still probably too late to grab 2nd but if we keep playing like this we’ll make someone earn it.

[Daft Kerplunk]

Superb

 

[Micky]

Stick that in your Hollywood epic yanks....! Get in there saints.

Just even if one of those chances against Swansea went in and 2 more points 

[Crab Lungs]

If we win our next four, do Man City …. Will we be playing Ipswich for 2nd by the time we play them?!

[SNSUN]

That ends Norwich, Watford, Bristol City and QPRs hopes. Derby now outsiders as we have the game in hand. Need to keep those performances and keep looking up not down.

Wrexham had chances tonight but our quality showed. Good minutes for Welington. 

My MOTM was Manning until he came off but I thought Charles was excellent all night, as was Downes, Azaz and Larin had a good game too. 

[so22saint]

Superb performance - absolute battering and the confidence in the team is there for all to see.  Even after we conceded, after the initial wobble we finished the half the stronger (despite the fannies on here saying otherwise) and *even* Archer had a great run and pass for Leo to nearly get a 6th.

Lovely to see 😍

[sambosa75]

I’ve just done a predictor.  2nd is on, you know.

[John Boy Saint]

Larins goal was a proper kick in Wrexhams nuts - they were brewing up.

 

To me Larin is looking fitter.

[BotleySaint]

As a Saints fan you go into this game thinking it's about time for our usual slip up.

 

Well.... NOPE!

[saint francis]

Always happy with a point away from home, what! 3 points and 5-1?  What on earth...

[Osvaldorama]

Brilliant performance, brilliant squad.

Remarkable turnaround. Fair play Tonda. 

[CSA96]

[Jimmy_D]

Score reflected the match in the end, the ref was the main factor in it looking even remotely close.

Yep. He was great on Saturday as well,  but got the lowest rating of any starter on the BBC. I don't get how people can't see how effective he is. 

I love him. He’s got real quality to unlock a defence he’s not going to do it every game but since the first time I saw him live at Hull could see what a player he was. The team was shit and most people said he was too but he was busy, trying to make things happen and you could see he had a touch of class about him

i think because he’s not an obvious player, by that I mean doesn’t have great pace, power or dribbling, so doesn’t get people out of their seats like Scienza does he can go unnoticed but he’s always there to recieve a pass, links play, good range of passing etc. really good signing 

[Wade Garrett]

I worry for the livestock in North Wales tonight.  A lot of very angry natives.

[Sheaf Saint]

Just wow. 

Even when they put us under pressure and we rode our luck with the efforts off the post, I had no doubt that our quality would shine through.

Hull next in our sights.

[trousers]

Downes my MotM... Was a like a man possessed... Azaz worthy of a special mention too, but another great TEAM display!

[skintsaint]

Amazing performance after the weekend!! Well done lads.

Now to smash Derby!

[Turkish]

Did I mention since I said we’d never lose again, we are, in fact, unbeaten?

[saintant]

That's the way to fucking end a Hollywood dream! Brilliant performance and we outclassed them all over the park. Well played boys and Tonda, you are a genius.

[Lard]

Masterclass in game management. 

[Wade Garrett]

Azaz is a gem.

[Monk]

Absolutely superb. 

I hate the fact Cov have ran away with the league, we're so much better. 

[skintsaint]

p.s I hope these cunts miss out on the playoffs, the wankfest over them is so fucking cringy.

To me Larin is looking fitter.

He's playing like a man possessed, he's determined to get in that world cup squad.

He has a great attitude and is clearly trying very hard. Chuffed he got his goal

Told you all in the summer, Azaz is mustered

You've managed to turn a condiment into a verb!

That equally applies to Stewart

I don't think Tonda has given up the chase. Seems unlikely, and would be worthy of a documentary or two of it happens. 

[beatlesaint]

That was quality, absolutely fantastic.

 

Now it’s all over I found it amusing that apart from Moore wiping out THB when they scored that bloody ref blew for a foul virtually everytime anyone went near another player !!!

Jocks are mental if don’t take him. Dykes over him is beyond funny

[AlexLaw76]

How was their goal allowed to stand?

 

[bender]

That was tremendous.  The sheep shaggers gave everything in the 2nd half and we blew them aside with quality
