    Exactly. Good performance, good result. Nearly an excellent result.

    We were so tired those last few minutes of normal time - midfield getting bypassed, defence totally asleep and players not closing down. Yet again our fitness and concentration fails us.

    Good point Saints - I`d have taken that before kick off.

    Not too sure about that, as I don't see us adding too much to the squad (sadly), but we'll certainly be safe.

    Can't see how you can be disappointed with a draw at Watford

    Every game we have a spell when we can’t get any distance on a clearance leading to constant pressure, panic defending and a goal. Something for Ralph to target.

    Excellent Saints. Played well from what I saw of it. Watford came on stronger second half and they are a good side.

    1 point away to Watford is good and probably enough. 6 points ahead of Cardiff.

    Massive improvement on the Newcastle display.

    Don’t think anyone is. What is disappointing, is conceding so late.

    We’ll take the point though.

    As ever, I'd have taken a point before kick off so am ok with one now. Should've been more but such is life.

    Despite the ***** **** ***** late equaliser, I thoroughly enjoyed that game. One for the purist maybe but a real tussle which was (and I believe we should say this more often) quite brilliantly officiated. All in all a point we'd probably have been happy with 7.5 seconds into the match.

    Such a shame to hold the lead for so long , how many honestly thought we could hold out that long ?

    The summer is going to busy as hell, with a lot of players moved on and replaced. I hope this place stays chilled aha

    Armstrong comes on at half time against Newcastle. We massively improve and draw the second half.

    Goes off against Watford. We concede.

    Coincidence? Conspiracy?

    I’m not sure about the officials... didn’t disallow that equaliser for a blatant handball/push/offside/dive *

    I’d have given one of those.

    :)

    No international football tournaments this summer so I'll need all the drama from this place.

    The Radio Solent commentary team wanted 14 out and 7 in
    A summer of meltdown at that rate
