Well if Redmond comes up with a winning goal all will be well but otherwise it's a baffling selection.

Quick thought. If Spurs manage to reach the semis they'll be playing at home. I suppose money for Wembley trumps all else but is this fair?

Ah yes! Bradford. I was there and then on the boozy train back to London with the team. Another 1 goal victory will do for me.

The ref.

Could have easily lost that in the second half again. Are the team fit enough to last 90 minutes?

Sleeping pills at half time again then. A result though.

Just waiting for Saints to concede now.

Scrappy. So frustrating that Saints aren't better in the final third. So often we get into good positions but the ball ends up going backwards. Far too many cheap free kicks given away that offer WBA a chance to lump the ball into the box where they're stronger than us. Still, mustn't grumble too much.

Compared to other teams in the relegation fight Saints look obvious candidates for the drop on the evidence of that second half.

So many Saints passes go astray that I assume that we're colour blind to that garish orange strip.

Are Saints going to make any effort at all? This lot don't look ready for a relegation fight at all.

Being offside from that free kick is criminal.

It's almost as if Saints go into these sort of games without ever believing they can win.

Liverpool offer an example of composure & finishing in the final third. That is basically the difference.

Too easy for 'em.

Call that defence?

Just one more crazy result required today then.

If the plan is to outscore the opposition let's be a bit more clinical to help ease the tension a bit.

Turned that half around nicely but still almost managed to undo the good work. I think we can predict the 2nd half now. Sit deep. Invite pressure. Drop at least 2 points.

Powder puff defending in the 6 yard box again then.

It's getting a bit much when we need ITKs yo tell us how ITK other ITKs are.

Is that 5 games unbeaten now?positively>

More home points dropped means that relegation is becoming ever more probable. Despite all that possession we hardly troubled their goal at all. Not good enough.

Playing for a draw already then?

Given the league position and recent form I'm surprised that anyone decent would be looking at a move to Saints anyway. It was always going to be a tricky window.
