Terrific win. 3 away wins in a week, all on TV. Elia MOTM.

[Bearsy]

massive win. massive week. massive boner

[Jimmy_D]

We found a way.

[adrian lord]

Off da hook.

[John B]

What a fantastic few weeks after our little stutter

[Bucks Saint]

What a week, what a squad (more than one team for sure). Brilliant

[red&white56]

Tough game but we played well, defended well and won!!!

[Kingsland Red]

42 points - we can now enjoy the ride !

[Batman]

Great win

With so many big players for us unavailable today, made it even sweeter

[KelvinsRightGlove]

Cracking result. Dug in well, with some big names missing.

 

The solidity Koeman has got into the team is so impressive. He is the signing of the season for me at the minute.

[B Rabbit]

We are playing like, getting results like and believing we are...a Champions League team

[Unbelievable Jeff]

Get in. Not vintage but never would be after 3 away games in 6 days. Bit of a rest and a need to get some more players back.

[nta786]

GET IN THERE. Hopefully Arsenal lose as well City can run away with it for all I care.

[BallBoy]

The spirit and belief in this team is just fantastic. So many good players out and yet we still grind out a win after a gruelling week.

[doc oli]

Ellia prob motm for two slick finishes, but massive credit to the little ginger fella who didn't put a foot wrong and was busting a gut to the last.

[SO16_Saint]

It wasn't pretty all the time and it definitely wasn't easy but y God this team can battle as well as play attractive stuff.

[IronCitySaint]

Proud of the lads for this amazing week. Clearly some tired players today but they still found a way. Awesome!

[CB Saint]

Great result - there will be tons of toon whinging about the "penalty" but that cancels out their spawny goal

[Baird of the land]

Really gutsy performance.

Perfect tactical change by Koeman in Cork and Long on, which had an instant impact.

Elia was clearly MOM.

[DaveyR]

Sweet

[Saint Without a Halo]

What a week three wins away have saints ever been this good

[5string]

What a fantastic result at the end of a quite brilliant week!

 

Who needs a big squad when you have a quality one?

 

Total football, anyone?

[Saint Charlie]

Brilliant. Huge week for us and have players possibly back for the next league game.

 

Reed got better as game went on. Fonte quality. Gardos good too.

 

Elia with two great goals and Pelle was top class tonight. How different would we be without him. He offers so much even when not scoring.

 

Brilliant. Loads of teams say they have or want a "winning mentality" but we actually do.

[SNSUN]

GET IN THERE. Hopefully Arsenal lose as well City can run away with it for all I care.

 

6 points clear of Arsenal at this stage of the season would be ****ing brilliant.

[stknowle]

massive win. massive week. massive boner

 

Agreed on all 3!!!!!!!!!! Fexsakes this is getting silly. Totally deserved again though. Thought Reed was utterly brilliant, looked like he'd been busting up play in the Prem for years rather than a few games. C'MON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Crab Lungs]

Just to take the p1ss out of myself a bit....

 

#itshappeningbutnotasweexpected

[Toomer]

That's ten points in the prediction league, not the best performance but it's three points and that's all that counts we might have got a bit lucky at the end with penalty shout.

[Saint_Tony]

We just keep on doing the business, best win of the lot today! Awful first half, but then took control. Do we have a lack of depth in our squad or is this just becoming a myth? Reed was great, and Elia was incredible. #itshappening

[badgerx16]

Am I correct in thinking that Gardos has played 8, won 7, drawn 1 ?

[adrian lord]

I thought we had no depth???????????????

[SaintSteve]

Our workrate is phenomenal.. and I thought Reed was very impressive in the heart of the midfield.

[View From The Top]

Speechless!

[Golac's Iron Gonads]

We look so good, even on an off day you can see the class of our players and that little bit extra class is winning us these close games. What scares me is that that is exactly how the top 4 teams usually manage to finish top 4. But we can't can we? We're Southampton FFS.

[eurosaint]

Huge win given the circumstances, thankfully a week's rest now and take stock for the run in !

COYS

[OttawaSaint]

We didn't play our best but boy did we fight hard. Gutsy! Great team spirit. Massive win!

[sambosa75]

Splendid and tremendous. Reed for MoTM for me. Was superb and full of running all game.

[Jonnyboy]

Happy days! Why did Newcastle sack Pards?

[USA SaintsFan]

WE ARE STAYING UP!

[S-Clarke]

42 points by mid-January, what on earth is going on.

[miserableoldgit]

I was staggered that after the heavy Christmas fixture list, major injuries and three big games in a week, the players were still chasing like a swarm of yellow bees right until the end! What a team!

I thought I heard the commentator say Reed has played 7, won 6 and drawn 1. Might have misheard. If Gardos and Reed both have those stats then yippee.

[Cascadia Saint]

Nice to get some luck going our way... Another great win, what a week!

 

I don't see us ****ing away the end of season run-in like we did last season. If we can keep winning like this, then who knows how high we can finish.

[Chez]

Thought Gardos had a very strong game winning headers at One end and Pelle winning them at the other. Gave us a huge platform to build from. The pace of our two fullback prevented us being exposed and the work rate of everyone else drives us home. Love the tricks and flicks of Pelle and Elias. Happy days.

[Saintmike5]

Outstanding effort to win 3 away games in 6 days. Don't care whether the performances could or couldn't have been better at certain times, coming out of this week with a 100% record is a magnificent achievement and I couldn't be more proud of the team.

[Minty]

We are finding ways to win games even when we're knackered and with injuries. That is some achievement.

 

Add some depth and a little more quality, and keep improving and who knows?

[Miltonaggro]

What character our team have - what a sublime week! Great to see the boys in yellow, Elia looks a gem, a pacy shorter version of Kluivert, fans in good voice, Clyne and Cork telepathy was a joy, Long such a grafter, Pelle a rock. We should stop worrying about the red side of Manchester as the blue side may soon have to worry about us!...

[Saints foreva]

Make us dream...

[Lord Duckhunter]

Arsenal home ,man utd and Newcastle away this year , 9 points unbelievable. Add to that the fact our 3 best players are missing, and its quite an achievement.

[David Strover]

Anyone think that was very 'Fergy Man United' in the way we won that - not great, finished well and got a bit of luck when it was needed. That is how you finish in the top four of the table - there were few sadsacks on the match thread and I think it is about time that some of them started to believe the Koeman Revolution and get on board.

 

This is a very different Southampton - We March On.
