No - We have dropped far too many points from games against the teams around us. I think we have to win to even have a slim chance of survival.

I'm astounded at how many fans think we are going win at Southampton where are you lot getting this from? I'd take a draw 100% not losing is vital.

No. I'd prefer to role the dice and go balls out for the win,got to get ahead of Southampton in the table and what better way to do that than a win at their gaff

People are saying we need to win not that we think we will aren't they? This is about the 4th easiest game we've got. A draw wouldn't be disastrous but it wouldn't help.

I’d take a draw.
Keeps soton down there and prevents them winning one of their winnable games.
It’s gonna be a tight, nail biting game regardless.
1 0 Soton or 1 1 my prediction.

I've just done a league predictor and got the following:
Saints (A) - 0 Man City (H) - 0 Everton (H) - 3 Arsenal (A) - 0 Spurs (H) - 0 West Ham (A) - 1 Burnley (H) - 3 Liverpool (A) - 0 Palace (H) - 3 Swansea (A) - 1
We finished on 37 points and 3 clear of the drop zone. I had West Brom, Saints and Huddersfield to go down.
In short, I haven't got a clue.

For the last 4 games we have had posts stating that they were must win and we won none of them and now it seems the majority are happy with a draw when we are sitting adrift in the drop zone I hope the team don't have the same attitude, we are in a position where even if we win this we could still be in the relegation zone and with the next games after Southampton being City, Spurs and Arsenal we could almost be done and dusted after those games unless we beat Southampton. Even if we win this game I think we are fecked - a point is pretty much useless to us. I want 11 strikers on the pitch and none of this cautious shite and if we score 1st we have got to show a pair and go for another goal and lets face it if we try to defend a 1 goal lead some fecking calamity will bestow us the way it is going at the moment I also think it would be beneficial if we gave Adam and Fletcher a Southampton kit for the game, it is the only way we are going to get them to find a Stoke shirt with a pass - should they play.

Yes of course. We are very much 2nd favourites. If anyone seriously believes we might draw or even win you should put some money on it, the odds are long for both: Southampton 5/6 Draw 11/4 Stoke 21/5 We usually do well against them. We nearly beat Leicester, so why not them? I think those odds are very strange and tempting.

There are but we've got the worst away record in the whole of the football league. We need wins.
And there in itself is the exact reason why anybody with an ounce of logic would take a draw at Southampton.
Given the choice, we should be taking a draw at every away game left.

That isn't going to happen though. We need a win. It isn't about logic, it's about what we need. Draws aren't enough as Lambert is showing.

Of course it's not going to happen ... it's a hypothetical question.
And if we have the worst away record in the league, then of course you would take a draw at any away game left, it's not even a discussion.
We are far more likely to lose than draw - you're an intelligent guy.
Every single point is going to count.

No... a win is vital to give us a chance of staying up. Anything else and we have had it based on what’s left to play

Respectfully that's bollocks. Our fate will likely be decided by 1 or at the very most 2 points either way so it's reckless to write one off.

I'd definitely take one at Southampton, which would keep them fully in the shit with us. If we didn't go on to beat Everton, though, we would be reasonably close to our last rites (I'm obviously assuming hoping for anything against Man City is a fool's errand) www.oddschecker.com/football/english/premier-league/southampton-v-stoke/winner4/1 for the win is about right with our away record. Can't see us scoring 2, and the chances of us not conceding are pretty slim.

I'm not sure I would take it because I have zero faith that we'll get 2 wins from the 3 winnable home games. We have to start winning soon.

I think we'll draw but ultimately it won't be enough to stop us going down.
We don't seem capable of closing out games when we've a chance to win

I think we HAVE to Win but we dare not LOSE!!! So I guess its a yes but really we NEEEEEED to WIIINNNN!!!!!!!!!
I think by getting the draw at Leicester we kept ourselves in the hunt but lose at Southampton and other results not going for us and I think thats it!
We really are piling on the pressure by not winning a game, thankfully as I said above we aren't still losing many

After Southampton:
Man. City.
Everton.
Arsenal.
Spurs.
West Ham.
Burnley.
Liverpool.
Good grief, that's tough!
Desperately need 3 against Southampton.

Can't afford to think like that in any game now unless it's a top 4 team. So, no.

Southampton will be looking at this as one of their winnable games so they will set out to attack. That might help us to find space on their half. Or at least that's a straw worth clutching at.
