Why?

Heart and prejudice ruling common sense, Jai. We need goals now, and by January our goal drought could be critical. It needs to be sorted. Leave it till January and loan striker options could all be taken by other clubs.

This, please

Is a part of the trick to surprise teams by scoring goals?

A great hard fought draw, with a bit of luck that 'pool were as inaccurate as we are these days. Well done fellers. Special mentions for VVD and Forster. We were better upfront when Long came on..And a mention for some skilful touches from JayRod at the end.

That would be a moral victory

This

I'm so looking forward to seeing us score again

..because we have all of 3 points above the relegation zone?

It's no big deal. If we still can't shoot on target in open play after all these weeks we don't deserve to win. So many attempts too. Practice practice practice fellers. Work late until you get it right. That's doctor's prescription

'Southampton's Dusan Tadic has created 28 goalscoring chances in this season's Premier League but has yet to register an assist' according to the BBC. I can't believe that this is correct. If so, perhaps this is the game when Dusan beats his duck. So my prediction is 2-1 with Dusan motm to score and an assist for Charlie.

Puel is doing ok. His player rotation is working very well and we are excellent from defence up to the final quarter. We just aren't scoring enough goals despite one of the highest attempts in the Premiership. We only have a goal difference of one, which is not great for a top half club. So, for me, the jury has still to be out.

Harry Reed had a very good game, then inexplicably disappeared from Kerman's plans, which was unfortunate. That was when I realised he wasn't interested in our Academy players.

Extra money coming into the club from wherever will need to be paid back because new owners will never be philanthropic. So expect ticket prices to increase, for starters. I hope this never happens.

I hope not.

Because we are 13th on goals scored, with only seven teams having scored fewer? And a very high ratio of chances missed?

... plus Terry Paine and Martin Chivers.

On Saturday I just wished we still had Pelle to head in a couple of smackers and Mane to scare the hell out of Chelsea.

0-0 to Saints A moral victory

It's all been said. My motm - Romeu by a mile.

And if lose it isn't because Saints are good, don't forget.

A good point. Mcqueen has been doing well, but so many games in a short time is a lot to expect. He must be rested and be fit for Chelsea. Who else do we have that cdajfu against Sunderland?

If we win this will have been the most important match in Saints history. If we lose it will have been of no consequence.

Pour Saints Ale down the drain where it belongs and replace it with a decent craft beer.

..if the ball came straight down the middle?
