Saints Face Reality Of Losing Top Spot
There will be one chant missing when Saints take on Leicester City on Monday evening.
"We're top of the league" has been the most sung chant by Saints fans over the last few months and its also been used by some to try and shout down those who have expressed concern of any kind during that time,the only real surprise that we are no longer top though is just how long it took for anyone to catch us up and overtke us.
However the removal of Saints from pole position even for just over 48 hours could be just the wake up call that the team needs to get itself back on track for a very important pair of matches coming up in the league.
Hopefully now many will realise that promotion is far from won, indeed we have thrown away one very good chance to pull completey clear from the chasing pack, we dont want to throw anything else away, apart from the complacency that seems to have developed over the past two months both on and off the pitch
Its setbacks like this that make or break seasons, strong teams use them to make themselves stronger and in doing so ensure that minor setbacks remain just that, we will now see what our manager and our players are made of, if some of those must win games back in November and december had been won then we wouldnt be having to "Must Win" against Leicest to go back top of the league
