Like Swansea, for all their possession Soton were kept largely away from the danger area - big credit to the players and their work ethic for thatFair comment Drewks, I didn't have time to scroll down all the BBC updates, I only saw the late chances Pelle missed, but I see that we did put a couple over the bar when well placed to score. I am just so relieved to get the three points against what has been a top four side so far this season - a win and a draw against them, four points out of six.

According to BBC a good reason as to why we kept another clean sheet
"Southampton responded with some tidy football but failed to test goalkeeper Fraser Forster "
Ben / Fraser Easy mistake to make.

Just back from game and everyone played well with the exception of one player - again Brunt didn't turn up. Other than an excellent clearing header from a Southampton cross from their left, his quality was zero. Crosses were constantly over hit, poor passing etc etc. I just don't know how he keeps getting selected over Poco or indeed anyone who could do a better job.
Funny how others who watched the game thought Brunt was one of our best players. Certainly wasn't for me !

Just got back myself, how bloody windy was it ???
Fantastic 1st half could have been 2 or 3 if Dawson or Gardner had taken their chances. 2nd half was far more defensive with the TP iron curtain going up but what a 3 Pts !!!
It's my birthday today so am very happy bunny and gonna get plastered !
Boing boing :-)

It is! Only the top six clubs and West Ham have a better defensive record than Albion in the Premier League.

Stunning Tony Pulis. I am totally confident of survival. Hope the talk of striker injury is not founded

Well that all went pretty much as predicted. Now for the second bit of the prediction against Villa. Happy days.

With other results going for us I reckon todays win is crucial in keeping us up.
Well done to TP and the lads

Other than mis-hitting a couple of left wing crosses, which used to be his forté, I think Brunt had a good game. I am led to understand Pocognoli isn't keen on the tough training régime and appears to have lost his watch. If true, neither of these problems is likely to endear him to a strong disciplinarian like TP.
