    Well, scoring 3 goals today means we've used our quota for the rest of the season.

    I don't know what to say. Genuinely speechless. Great character.

    Good character shown to come back, but ultimately 1 point from 2 home games against Brentford and Spurs isn’t enough

    Softest of pens awarded to us……certainly had them against us, nice to have one back.

    Excellent result....especially coming back from 3-1 down. MOTD here I come. Perhaps we should only play top clubs. 5 Points from Chelsea, United and Spurs.

    I agree but the performances are better and those goals give confidence. We are not getting thrashed each week and we are picking up some points. We just have to hope teams like Crystal Palace capitulate.

    Good point but really worrying to see Bednarek and ABK both injured. If those two are out for a while then that really is a worry.

    About time we got a VAR cock up to favour us. It’s telling that the game changed when we got players with pace on the pitch. Finally subs make a change for the better instead of for the worse.

    The pen looks soft but I think if Sarr studs AMN's calf then that's a foul anywhere else on the pitch? I think that's what the ref saw and there wasn't enough evidence from VAR to overturn it.

    Anyway what a great comeback. I feared the worst at 3-1 down but the players have shown they still have the fight in them.

    We just need one of those elusive wins!

    West Ham, Palace and Bournemouth in April.

    Well done Saints.

    Brutal luck getting both CBs injured. More bad luck having just one on the bench.

    Should have had all three points as Spurs were awful. But can’t fault the players. Just wish Charly had started.

    Despite some of the bed wetting at half time I thought we were decent throughout and well worth the point! Great fighting spirit :emoticon-0137-clapp

    Eight points in Ruben’s first six league games.

    W: Chelsea + Leicester
    D: Spurs + United
    L: Brentford + Leeds

    Sadly if we had any semi-competent manager between November and February, we would be above the dotted line right now.

    A confession: I left at 3-1.

    Hangs head in shame.

    Really enjoyed the game. A bit of a ding dong battle but loads of character and spirit
    I know we have a tough run in, against a lot of top teams, but they are the teams we tend to play better against, as they don’t sit back, so fingers crossed we can get something from those.
    Also worth considering that those down with us, who we still have to play, can’t afford to sit back now, (as long as we don’t concede an early goal) as points against us will be precious.
    An exciting end of season.

    In isolation no it isn't. But I'm hoping the way we got the point today will put some confidence back in the players. West Ham is a must win now though.
