    You have more decisiveness than Hoedt with acres of space and no one pressing him.

    Getting something today is important... there’s some big games out there today between other teams at the bottom so guaranteed some will get points

    If we can get 4 points out of Everton and Leicester., it'll be huge going into the teams around us.

    I don’t think draws are enought. We need to go for the win!

    I'm fine with draws against the likes of Everton, Leicester and Watford....just as long as they are supplement by wins against the sides around us. Our three homes games after Everton are Palace, Cardiff and Fulham: massive! (There's also Burnley away within that run, too.)

    20 more points gives us a real shot at survival. That's five wins and five draws.

    The only thing I'm expecting to see today is improvement! Fitter players, better organisation and more awareness. If we get something out of the game, that's a bonus. If we lose? i really don't care as long as it's not down to the same stupid mistakes. Leicester are a better team than Saints... The table doesn't lie.

    we probably have the worst selection of goalscoring talent available since we got promoted for this match so we'll probably score a bucketload

    I want Leicester to play with a nice Puel style slow tempo so that we do not have to worry about their pacey wide men. I wonder if Targett's lack of pace would mean that we pick Cedric at left back? Hope we play a back five anyway.

    I didn't see Gunn losing his place so soon.

    Interesting, Gallagher rather than Barnes on the bench, but Sims and Slattery both there!

    I like that team, given what the options are.

    Ralph said he was giving 2 games, which he has had. He’ll be back for Derby.

    I'm looking forward to seeing what Gallagher and Sims can do from the bench.

    He didn’t lose it - Manager said he was going to give him 2 games. Good healthy competition now - McCarthy hasn’t deserved to lose his place but knows he has Gunn ready and breathing down his neck
