Saints stand at the crossroads after two straight wins has put them perhaps only one win away from safety.
The crossroads in question however seem to have two good destinations whatever way Saints end up taking, now in a strong position to avoid relegation, even a mediocre end to the season should see them garner enough points to stay up and that would be the main aim of this season accomplished.
However with several Saints players talking in the press about how Mauricio Pochettino has instilled a new confidence in the side, perhaps Saints may be taking the high road in the final seven games, with only Spurs to play out of the top seven clubs, the opportunity is certainly there for Saints to put a few clubs to the sword and in the meantime wrack up a few points and surge up the table a little.
I still think we will have left it a little late to hit the top ten, however if Fulham were to fail to win against QPR tonight that road might just open up, a situation that was highly unlikely just a couple of weeks ago, which just goes to show how quickly things can change in the bottom half of the Premier, where currently only six points seperate the final relegation place and 10th.
So if Saints can maintain their positive form then there is every chance that a decent final placing can be obtained, as i say if Fulham win tonight I think they might just have put too much inbetween them and us for us to catch up with such a short number of games left, however we will have to wait and see on that one.
However in all this positivity, a word of caution, we have seen how quickly are position can improve with two straight wins, we have to make sure we dont get to complacent, we are still only four points off the drop zone, two straight defeats could plunge us right back into the mire, we shouldnt count our chickens till they are hatched, lets get the points under our belts and when we know that we arent going to be relegated, lets then re focus our targets for the run in to the end of the season.
