Over half of the goals we've conceded have come in matches where we've conceded 3 or more goals. We've only lost 13 games (Hull 16, Leic & Villa 18, burn 18, QPR 21). Our thrashings are red herring, don't concede many and we're very tough to beat. If Southampton are over confident, and there's a good chance they will be, it could be their down fall.
I also take heart from the 2nd half performance yesterday. 80% passing , 11 shots, 20 crosses and 9 take on's shows way more attacking intent than we're used too. It may not have been quality but the intent we've been screaming out for is slowly beginning to show. The thrashings are a smoke screen to our real problem which we can use in our favor. Fact is our problem this season is turning draws into wins through a lack of attacking intent, we're seeing that being addressed so there are points there for the taking.
Hope that helps fella. It's all I've got
