Saints away match shocks

[RedArmy]

I suppose any result at Old Trafford must stand out...not sure about last league win? But the cup penalty shoot out, and the Taibi howler game where Pahars put Staam on his arse stand out (although that was a 3-3) game!

We were unlucky not to get a result up there in 03/04, 2-0 down and pulled it back to 2-2 before being robbed by the new offside rule.

Recently I'd say Brighton, Fonte's winner is one of my favourite Saints moments ever.

 

Preston was a big shock, especially being 2-0 down at half time. When that idiot McGoaldrought scored it was utter carnage in the away end.

 

Derby was fantastic, probably the only time we truely played 'Total Football' under the Dutchman.

 

From years back I remember a cracking 1-0 win at Villa Park, think Dean Richards got the goal and it was a very surprising win.

A win at Leeds is a perfectly reasonable expectation. Despite the change of manager Leeds still has a squad that is not good enough for the top six and Warnock is only there because he was sacked from his previous job for not being good enough to take QPR forward. On top of that Leeds have limited incentive. A play-off place is unlikely, they've played a game more than most of the clubs above them and the results have been sufficiently poor that the new manager is looking around for new players, so he doesn't rate them either. By comparison, Saints are on a roll of 6 games unbeaten, home and away, and the major incentive of automatic promotion gets closer with every match. We are moving into the phase of the season when the top teams such as Saints will tend to win more regularly as they play teams like Leeds that have less motivation. To me, this looks like away win number 6.

If only football was that straightforward and simple...

 

It will be a tough game and not one to take lightly.

They've still got plenty of very good (by Championship standard) players. It won't be an easy game at all.

6-0 over Wolves for me.
