    We all would've bitten your hand off for a chance to finish 11th back in early November and we are playing some good stuff now.

    I'm just a bit disappointed with their goal, pretty basic stuff but we were sleeping, but the second half made up for it.

    Can’t see why other teams are interested in Pierre. Even my Citeh mate reckoned they might be looking at him. He’s not even a star in our team, with no competition for places. However a swap for David Silva might be on the cards!

    Much better in the 2nd half. Unlucky not to win or should have won. Either way will let thd Saints off as they have worked very hard since the restart so it isn't surprisingthey look tired. Now 5 unbeaten.

    Just want 2 things ftom the season. Send Bournemouth down and get 50 points.

    Vardy has games against Spurs and United. Ings has Bournemouth and Sheffield United. It's a long shot, but he is not out of the race.

    Only two days rest before the next match. Am I being paranoid that bigger clubs are getting longer rests than us. Or is just the luck of the draw. No, I’m paranoid, we do get dicked by the establishment. As ever.

    We are getting very good at drawing or winning the second halves of our games. Now if Ralph can convince the team that the first 45 minutes of a game isn't a rehearsal, we should get 3 points from every game.

    Ings has played virtually every minute since the restart (he was subbed right at the end against Norwich I believe) and he just doesn't seem to tire. I'm in awe of the bloke, both as a footballer and a human being. The amount of work he must have put in off the pitch to get to where he is today must have been immense.

    Good second half.

    Che needs to sharpen up in front of goal in my opinion.

    Kwp great again, he'll be too expensive for us if PEH isn't involved in the deal.

    Bye PEH ....what ever

    The shape was all wrong because of the changes and we were disjointed, the 2 players on and a reshuffle addressed it at HT and we had the natural width we usually have.

    Superb response from the team, second half.
    1 goal, twice hit the woodwork, and one off the line.
    Unlucky not to get the 3 points.
    But what a save. An absolute worldy.

    I agree, although the first half against Everton was the exception to the rule. We were incredible right up until they scored.

    You see, that's the difference between you and I. You understand football, whereas I just jump up when we score. My knowledge of football ended in 1969 (yes I am that old) :1980_boogie_down:

    Only word I could think of at half time was RUBBISH

    Oba and Smallbone might need some time
    Pierre is no full back
    Vokins looks very promising

    KWP and Che improved us a lot 2nd half
    Che’s header set up the goal and he was so unlucky not to score

    Amazing save from Ryan
    Who new Vesty had a shot like that in him

    Unlucky not to get 3 points in the end but 1 and a few rested legs is ok ... and no suspension for Oriel

    Saving ourselves for Bomo
