Sarfampton v The Clarets

[Likeavydra]

Christ I thought it was a pen there. Fk us. Last minute.

F**k us? harsh..

[Longsidebovril]

Full time

[piston broke]

Should've been a pen for Ings.

Ben got the ball first then trod on his ankle.

[ElectroClaret]

Good point, but they were there for the taking . disappointed.

Saints poor.

[Caernarfon_Claret]

Technically 4 draws in a row.

[piston broke]

Excellent first half but you still don't know where the goal is coming from.
Any away point is a bonus.

[FactualFrank]

Not disapppointed here. First game of the season and we have players to come back.

[Likeavydra]

well that was the most predictable result ever.

[IndigoLake]

I'll take that. A point away from home in the first league game of the season. Good performance first half with plenty of attacking intent. Good defensive performance throughout (with more to do in the second half). We showed both sides of our game but just unable to take those chances. Finishing chances isn't usually the issue for us - it's creating them. So I'm happy enough with that. Very pleased for Hart and defence re the clean sheet. Will do wonders for confidence.

UTC and thanks to Longsidebovril for the updates, much obliged.

[ElectroClaret]

Ben got the ball first then trod on his ankle.

He did, but seen em given.

Fabulous result away from home
Two clean sheets for our New England Number 1
Come on you Clarets

[KRBFC]

Ok performance, solid defensively, nothing really going forward.

[Tall Paul]

Ben got the ball first then trod on his ankle.

So it should've been a pen then.

well that was the most predictable result ever.

How much did you win?

Good away point. Southampton are going to struggle again on the evidence of their performance.

[NickBFC]

Shame obviously not to bag all three points, but a draw, first game of the season away from home is not to be sniffed at. Useful point and good to get off the mark immediately.

[Wile E Coyote]

no, southampton looked fine, great point away for us, first half was very bright especially.
a win next week will get us up and running. That was a good away performance today.

[IanMcL]

Apologies all. Went via train. Forgot to pick up phone!

Madge wasn't impressed by me!

Great result -- should have won. Well done Clarets.

Enjoyed my free ice cream!

On that performance Southampton will struggle this season, only looked decent when Ings came on .

[ClaretAL]

Finished 7th in the Premier League; are difficult to beat and qualifed for Europe. I'm bloody glad we haven't changed it.

I'm not knocking or questioning what we did last season and I believe we played to our strengths hence the outcome, and taking in to account the baron period after Christmas we could have been top 6. However when you consider our current sick list and signings, i think this team looks bloody strong...

............Hart
...Tarks...Gibson...Mee
Lowton....................Taylor
....Cork/Defour...Westwood/Brady
