    Regret not buying an 'available' prolific striker, we need to kill these games off if we want to be promoted.

    Excellent unbeaten record is extended, but we are a long way off catching the top two.

    Still unbeaten. Shame, but what goes around comes around, we have got 3 or 4 late ones ourselves

    Did we create much for that striker to miss?

    Knew it would be tough.

    A point is a great result on the balance of play. We don’t have the quality to kill teams off - but at least we are drawing instead of losing

    2nd half we were comfortable. I never felt they were going to score. Oh well.

    It wasn't a 'kill them off' type of performance. We were lucky to go 1-0 up. Watford deserved the point.

    I appreciate that was a howler from an otherwise excellent Bazunu, but that wasn’t the reason we drew that game. Yet again, we failed to score a second goal when we were ahead.

    We're a good team, but need a bit more clearly. Doesn't look like the top 3 will drop many points at the moment, so keeping up is essential.

    What have Southampton created? We have inviting pressure. This is why we are a play-off team and not a direct promotion contender.

    But if you want top two it needs to be. Agreed we were never dominant and we were lucky in the first half.

    No surprise there really. Can't kill teams off when 1 up.

    As a result, that's totally fair. But in terms of our season, a 10 point gap, with a much weaker GD and a strong Leeds side in between, I think is probably too much.

    Agreed. We gave him far too much to do. He kept us in it for most of the game, so I can’t really be too harsh on him

    Without Downes this was a very tough game, can't moan too much about a battling away point against an in form team, the unbeaten run continues.

    Fully expected a loss at half time. Pity that Baz couldn’t just get there. Watford are definitely a play off team on this showing.

    It’s been pretty evident for awhile that we won’t be in the top two unless something dramatic changes, if Ipswich fall away we still have to overtake Leeds.

    We are winning games by the odd goal where as they are winning comfortably more often than not.
