What a great performance. For the first time ever that I can remember I gave every Saints player at least a 7, even Manning, who's sublime involvement in the 4th goal almost earnt him higher!

Goals 2,3 and 4 were very high calibre.

Che went up a level today, possibly to attract Premier League suitors, but I will take it.

Have to start believing now, don't we??

Great performance. After a near disaster in the first minute we dominated the match and played some lovely football. Defence was strong, midfield constructive and forwards lethal.

We always look better when Jack Stephens doesn't Start. Today we started with our strongest team for a change.

Our strongest performance to date this season.
KWP was a class above today
Loved the way we played at a faster temp, and ran them into the ground.
Some of the interchanging passes were breathtaking.
Real entertainment, with a team that really looks like a team.
I said to my boy, we could real in Leicester - I really think we could, but I'm not greedy- just entertain me like that and I'll be happy.
COYR!

Superb, dominating performance and yet again, scored a hatful of goals at home.

Apart from that early error, Baz only had a few saves to make, including a nice one from their 2nd half free kick.

Could and should have scored a couple more, but everyone was happy with 4.

Special mentions to:
Fraser - fit enough to be so much more than an influential sub - he now influences whole games. Well taken goal and overall performance.
A Arm - what can you say, 3 assists and a goal, all whilst playing in an unpreferred wide right role !!
Smallbone - very good game and some excellent forward passing (for a change !!)
KWP - Great as always

Thought some of the subs came a little late (for S Arm), but they all contributed. Mara got another goal (from a yard) and it was great seeing Dibling having the confidence to go on a mazey run and shoot with his first possession.

Now let's convert some of this super home form into big aways wins too !!

General thoughts are that we seem to start slow but then our performance builds throughout the match. The passing is now quicker and we seem to link up better in the final third.

A very dominant performance. SW were a form team. However they we were on control for most of the match.

Can't really fault the team picked. Subs were made to give some minutes to a few players and possibly so that Fraser could get some sole applause from the crowd, which he deserved.

Dibling and Mara look real units. Think Che and Stu's days are coming to an end tho.

There will be bumps in the road but yesterday was a good day.

Superb performance all round . I was one of the people a little nervous about this one . But no need, we controlled them they fell in to our pressing traps a few times aswell which was good to see . Long may this rjn continue .
I believe now We will truly hammer a team soon, where every good chance will go in , i dont mean to sound greedy but i think the way we are playing now its just going to happen

Not much to add to all of the above in what was a brilliant overall performance. For me the difference is Fraser who RM deserves great credit for getting in the mood. Movement, first touch and general dynamism just gets us forward more often and quicker. With AA & KWP this gives a genuine threat on both wings. Not sure I would totally agree with the plaudits for Smallbone who was great coming forward but never drops in or back when our CBs commit forwards. Also I think RM has a dilemma with Stuey vs Charlie. Probably only room for one of them. If Adams stays then don't really see need for any incoming in January. Cannot see what Rothwell will bring.
