Saints continued their up and down recent record.
A Rickie Lambert hat trick secured Saints their fourth win of the season against MK Dons, a result that once again showed what Saints are capable of, which makes it all the more frustrating as to why a play off spot is so near yet so far.
Alan Pardew made a subtle change in the back four due to injuries to Jaidi and Thomas as Saints geared up to a busy week.
Once again it was the Rickie Lambert show as Saints showed the travelling fans why they can be so great at times, but truth is Saints probably need to win just about every other remaining game otherwise the play offs are impossible, but to be blunt, we should really be on the brink of that top six now, but our incosisstent form of the past two months is both baffling and inexcusable given the quality we haave available.
Most Saints fans to be blunt dont seem to care about promotion, Wembley seems to be an acceptable substitute with many believing that promotion next sseason is a formality, this is possibly just the attitude amongst the squad that has cost Saints a play off spot this term, and Alan Pardews biggest job now will be getting the attitude right next season from the start both on and off the pitch, however some still believe that Saints can still get a play off spot, if they do, that will truly be a miracle.
