SOUTHAMPTON The Manager - Nigel Adkins "We've not got the three points that we came for. We started the game really well, had possession of the ball, moved it around brightly and we've come away from home and controlled the game. They had to work very hard to close us down and we know we're a very fit side and we know towards the end of games we're going to create good opportunities like we did here, like we did at Leicester and at the weekend against Burnley.”"It wasn't our night. Those chances have been going in for us to win games.We've got to make sure we're more ruthless to win games when those opportunities come. We can't allow the opportunity for the opposition to get goals we think we can do better with.” The Saints Kelvin Davies Jose Miguel da Rocha Fonte Daniel Fox Jos Hooiveld Frazer Richardson Richard Chaplow for Steve De Ritter - 64 mÃn.

WATFORD The Manager - Sean Dyche View attachment 7577 “It was a strange moment (Liam Feeney’s goal) because you just cannot believe what you are seeing as we dominated the game from start to finish. It was a weird moment and I said to my staff then that we would go on and win the game because you cannot keep dominating games and not win. We certainly did against Derby, dominated large parts of it against Forest and deserved at least a point if not a win and we have to keep doing that. Football evens itself out over the season and you have to have that belief - we had it tonight.” The Hornets Rene Gilmartin Adrian Mariappa - caution 55 mÃn.

Southampton are doing very well and Watford are not. The Saints have lost as many games as the Hornets have won and although they have outscored Watford by more than two goals to one both teams have conceded the same number of goals, twelve. Akureyri’s Prediction: 0-1 With Southampton doing so well one of two things will occur. Either they will win well or Watford will upset them. I go for the second option. Further Into The Past Curiously Southampton and Watford have met only 41 times in all competitions. At St. Mary’s Stadium and The Dell Southampton are clearly ahead in the statistics with fifteen wins against the visitors five, with one draw. April 1958 saw the locals mark five, the only time they have managed that on their own field and although Watford have never done that well they have scored three goals a few times. The three FA Cup games played in Southampton have produced two wins and a draw for the Saints. On the goals count Southampton have managed 44 and Watford 23 in their Hampshire meetings. skál/skÃ¥l/cheers/salut Don’t forget Drop into The Hornets’ Nest for som match chat.

Nice one Ak , although Jen the saint had an MT up already on the saints board! Sure they wont mind a bit of competition!
He did not invite us to comment. We can have two. Tonights quiz. When was the last time we had two threads?
Anyone remember our last visit to St Mary's? 3-0 up at half time and two penalty saves from Richard Lee. More of the same?
Nice one as usual AK - Last time we had 2 threads? Was it the last game of the season against The Steptoe's? Going against my normal prediction, I am having to go for head before heart prediction of a Watford defeat against the sea-faring angelic types - with a 2-1 defeat....boo hiss As I am going by train, I hope all those driving down do not suffer the same fate around the M27 as I did last Sunday.....
I created the match thread! Took me ages to research all that and Jen the Saint gets all the credit !
Nicely done AK as always. I have gone for 4-2 to the saints, but i actually would not like to call this. It could go any way!!
