    Well done today for the win. Just shows the depth to our squad with 6 changes to the side.
    3 out of the 4 back line changed & we still keep a clean sheet.

    Great to see Harding back fit & in the squad.

    We looked like a championship side ready for the next season.

    I really rate Dan Harding along with several of our other defenders.

    Not sure why he gets so much stick on here. i have always been a fan since he joined the club.

    Would start him every time if the choice was mine. Great to see him back fit & stake a claim for the shirt.

    Yeah agreed, dickson looks more exciting with his dribbling ability but dan gets just as far as dickson by knocking the ball ahead of him and running!

    Thought he got some great crosses into the box today. Great to see him back in the side.

    Good to see we have players like Barnard, Schneiderlin and Chamberlain missing yet can still field a quality side like that!!

    Love it. Please continue with the wins, Saints, and let's get promoted automatically!!

    The one really annoying trait was the number of decent crosses to the far post and nobody in sight to capitalise, something that can be worked on I think.

    We have depth but I still feel we need more for next season.

    Looked good today even with the 6 changes. How many other teams in the league can make 6 changes to their squad & keep a clean sheet & win.

    Was impressed as this was by no means a weakened starting 11

    We don't need more depth, we need more strength in depth.

    Add some quality to the squad and bang, we have players like Hammond and Barnard sitting on the bench.

    It's just very annoying that we have two Left-Backs who are willing to get forward and run at the back but two Right-Backs who aren't that pacy and therefore sit back and play it long more. A bit more variety would be nice on the right-hand side.

    How well did Harding do today, Thought he was great. Plus must mention Dickson who has done well to cover when Harding was injured. Not sure who I prefer on the right though Richardson or Butts. Seem different types of players.
