All three goals came from defenders, with James Bree continuing his remarkable scoring run, Ryan Manning delivering another superb free-kick just before half-time, and Taylor Harwood-Bellis finishing the job from a corner. It capped off a strong three-game week that produced seven points from a possible nine, nine goals scored and just two conceded. With Saints now only four points off the play-off places, the conversation is starting to shift. Is this still about play-off hope, or has it become expectation? We discuss the growing defensive solidity, the ability to manage games, and the response after Sheffield Wednesday briefly threatened to make it a contest at 2–1. There’s also a reflection on squad depth, rotation under Tonda Eckert, and whether the balance now looks more settled than at any point earlier in the campaign. We also address the ongoing concerns around Ross Stewart’s fitness, Cam Bragg’s contribution in midfield, and what this current run really tells us about Saints’ mentality ahead of a crucial stretch of fixtures. Finally, we look ahead to Fulham away in the FA Cup. Is it a chance to test ourselves against Premier League opposition, or should full focus remain on promotion? Nine unbeaten. Momentum building. The season is very much alive. Hosted on Acast.
