Shows how far we’ve come we’re disappointed with a draw against a side of the calibre of Southampton. It was pleasing that we got a point and showed what we had with coming from behind.

Thought it was a fair result. Southampton were the better team in the first half, we were better than them in the second.
Pretty boring game though.

A game of two halves, as they say.
Stains were better in the first half, us in the second half.
Decent point, not unhappy.

Stains were pretty one dimensional in both halves, they were better in first half simply as we didnt turn up. The game second half was there for the taking, but to many under par performances today, Knocky and Izquierdo not at their barnstorming best. Its a fair result on the balance of today's play, but we can and have played a lot better than this, performance was a bit flat and disjointed.

I don't quite see how it can be a pleasing point if we are disappointed................

That's the sort of point you want your team to grind out, not at your best but get something from the game.

Are you ignoring injury time?
My glass is very much half-full. I'll take that point after the first half today.

On his last warning
A good point but it would be nice to see us control midfield a bit more. In the 1st half we were giving it away non stop and looked clueless for ideas. Against a better team, they'd have score 2 or 3 against us in that 1st half.

So did I - for a while after we scored. Unfortunately, as usual, we had to endure the last 10 - 15 minutes of nail-biting tension, hanging on to whatever we might have got.

I'm disappointed, think it's 2 big home points dropped. Yes away that would be a good result but at home I expect us to win that.
Southampton are a very average side these days. For those saying they're strong, if you go through each side player for player, see how many of theirs you'd pick ahead of ours? The only one's I might are the full backs and that's probably just because if age, I'd choose ours on attitude and desire.
Yes VVD is clearly a classy player, but I still wouldn't swap him for our two centre backs.

They were better than I thought they'd be. We were worse than I'd thought we'd be. Good point.
As a team aspiring to be an established 'average' PL side like Soton I will take the point happily
