Hard fought point. Some really good individual performances in there I thought, Jackson even without the flukey goal probably played his best game for Town, he defended really well. Diarra was great off the bench. Thomas very good too. By and large we defended well, and Maxwell's slight flappiness was made up for by his kicking being much better than Nicholls. He's no Bazunu yet though!
The first half was pretty bad, and I'm irritated that Moore still sets up in this way after learning how the team works clearly in his very first game- we are better on the front foot. Credit to him though for actually changing it, and I thought his subs were the right ones on reflection. Koroma was fine as a central striker and Nakayama made some good contributions on the ball (still crap at tracking his man though). Nobody wanted Koroma off but Diarra was brilliant, and with the amount of balls going into the box it made more sense to have Burgzorg in there- shame he wasn't up to it today. That side, playing more like we did 2nd half, would be absolutely fine this season, but only with a better focal point up front.
I hesitate to make this comparison but that reminded me of one of our performances last season just as we were starting to get going under Warnock. Moore really needs a win though, 1 in 10 is never going to be good enough however many draws like this we manage.

Cracking point that. Not the greatest first half, and by not the greatest I mean, poor. V. Poor. But, I believe DM tried to set out stall and then build from that foundation. Second half, very positive. We will always lament on that and say why didn't we start more attacking and aggressive, but we've seen before when we try that early on in games, we get picked off and picked apart and next thing we know we're 2 down inside 15.

Not sure if it was Southampton being shit second half or us been decent but the players worked hard and never gave in either way. Credit where it's due.

Southampton taking that winger off because he dribbled around his own box bit them on the arse. He was their best player and they missed him a lot. Very petty from their manager/coaches to try and make an example of him

Great response second half, like others have said, just goes to show if you actually have a go......

Thought Sorba played ok but still not getting enough crosses on target,or scoring.. Hope he'll notch soon and get back to what he once was.

A very poor 1st half with only 18% possession, but better than recent games.
The second half was much better, I thought that Southampton came out thinking the game was won and they gave us a bit more time and our players responded. As confidence grew we played and put the effort in.
Why we didn't even try against Hull I just don't know.
We must have had around 28% possession in the second half to end up with 23% over the full game.
Hopefully DM will see that even with a poor squad you can get something out of the game if you are prepared to give it a go.
p.s. I thought the substitutions were a bit off

It's almost like he's a right winger who's being asked to play on the left and therefore has to cross more with his left foot. I have no idea why he and Headley were on their "wrong" wings, especially when we had a left footer at right back.

Amazing what happens when you actually have a go second half Amazing what happens when you totally forget the manager's instructions at half time and do your own thing. OK... I'm being harsh.

Thought that was a fair result today and despite all the doom and gloom surrounding Town at the minute thought it was a reasonably decent performance, credit where credit is due. Glad we got some luck with the goal, we needed some. First half we looked nervy and made some bad decisions in key attacking areas but that's probably down to lack of confidence but second half thought we pressed Southampton well getting them to give the ball away in possession. Better than I expected as I thought we'd get tanked 4 nowt.

BIG shout out for Maxwell the goalie , who made a couple of absolutely fantastic saves , and with better than Nichols distribution too . Coupled with the fact that’s the first time he’s been in the ‘hot seat’ he deserves his place in the next game whether Nichols is fit or not !…

Points a point... not a great game, not a great performance. Pretty dull allround.
If we had lost the forum would have been on meltdown after the first half... a cross that goes in and a bit of breathing space until Tuesday.

Listening to DM on radio Leeds sounds like due to injuries and sickness he playing a system not quite what he wants to play but trying to get the best he can! So I’m guessing when players back will look more like the game v Ipswich. Also 3 players lost in last 24hrs !

A bit more guile and we could have won that, much improved second half and a well deserved point.

Nicholls has made more than his fair share of mistakes this year and I think Maxwell deserves a run.

Just keep them set up like the second half. Get us up the pitch and closing the opposition down. Half the teams in this league want to tap it around the back despite the fact they can’t do it. We had them on the rack in the last ten/fifteen minutes there. Not many things these lads can do well, but run their bollocks off is one of them.

Touch wood but i think we are strong in this position, Chapman for a young lad looks promising as well

pillock Headley! Good break though I hope for his sake he doesn't get a 2nd yellow now. There'd have been hell on if he had, with the useless c*** with the whistle not booking the Southampton left winger for kicking the ball away then giving him a yellow for flattening Kasumu

Our fans will literally accept any old shite. Nobody is under any illusions as to the pickle we're in, a draw at home is never fantastic but considering how the first half went the end result was acceptable, it might not change things on the wider scale but its a damn sight better than losing, although massive are floundering its important we try and keep QPR and Rotherham at arms length.
