We haven't had one of these for a while, but it's back, after Black Friday it's Six Pointer Sunday, as Saints battle Everton aiming to put them firmly in the relegation dogfight.
Saints face Everton knowing that a win could see them in the top ten of the Premier League whilst defeat will see them staring the relegation zone firmly in the face.
But this is nothing new to us, we had a relegation battle in our first season back in the top flight five years ago and we came through that because firstly we didn't panic and secondly we th fans stayed firmly behind the team.
Many have short memories and talk of how the club has never been in such a predicament, but they forget that that 2012/13 season was far worse in the opening 3rd of the season than now, we were walloped in the opening games, Kelvin Davis was dropped because he was making far more mistakes than the under fire Fraser Forster and quite honestly we looked a shambles.
Nigel Adkins turned it round though and pulled us clear by January before being sacked, now we need to find the spirit that he found in his team back then, proving that sometimes things can be turned round.
We face an Everton side in far worse turmoil than us and to be blunt we are a decent tem, just poorly motivated and set out at present.
This is a big game for Mauricio Pellegrino and one which could decide whether he has any future at the club, the fans are fed up with seeing him do the same things with the same results week in week out, he has to show he is the man that we were told he was when he was appointed.
But in the meantime, Sunday is all about buying time, it is all about getting three points and making the gap between us and the bottom three wider, it is not about being entertained it is about getting the job done.
Everyone needs to be kicking in the same direction, fans players and coaches, make St Mary's a cauldron and then we can argue about what is going wrong in the bigger picture after.
