Away from home, definitely. Not sure about the 'bulk of possession in most games', considering that we had 43% to Southampton's 57% on Satdee.

Good analysis. He came with a reputation of a dead-ball Messi....Not seen it yet, but there's always Satdee.
Birmingham City manager Waynetta Rooney told BBC Radio WM:
"There were some good moments but we created problems for ourselves, giving the ball away too cheaply.
"And the really disappointing thing was that, after the second goal, I didn't see a response and I've told the players that.
"That last 10 minutes or so told me a lot. It was a concern for me and it's something that won't happen again.
"We have to be patient - and we will get there. At the minute, we're on a learning curve."
Hull City boss Liam Rosenior told BBC Radio Humberside:
"It was like the first 60-70 minutes against Southampton, except we shot more this time.
"We had more end product. More shots, more crosses and we were more positive. The players responded well from a big setback.
"This is what the Championship is about. Every team is going to have setbacks. It's how you respond that counts.
"Wayne is a top, top manager and a top guy. We are just further along in the process than they are. He's only just started here, I know what he wants to achieve here and it will take time. Unfortunately (sniggering) for him we came out on top this time."

Well that game was the exception really. And it's because Southampton are one of the few teams even better at (or more committed to) a possession game than we are.
Feels like a big result and pretty comfortable throughout. Again we probably should've scored more at the other end too.

Is probably the kindest run we've had all season. On paper it gives us a real chance to push on and cement a play off place. 4 wins from the next 7 at a minimum please.
Big concern for Saturday is Morton. We're really light in midfield and i'm not sure I can watch Doc come short and play out from the back.

So you chose that 1 specific game metric to make a generalisation.
Oh, and we were leading on posession until the 70th minute and they brought 40 million quid off the bench.
Figures.
£230 million worth of talent helped Southampton out a bit.

They were above us before tonight. Are you saying we have been ****ter than them this season before tonight?
No I meant thank god they were worse than us tonight because I didn’t think we played particularly well, at least attacking wise

Fabulous performance. Such fun to watch, even the suicidal moments from Allsop. Everyone played their part, even Twine who started crap but improved (even his corners were causing problems by the end which was a tu4n up for the books). Does Delap put glue on his boots?
