Southampton were left frustrated once again as a dominant display yielded just a point in a 1–1 draw with Charlton at St Mary’s. Despite 72% possession, 28 shots and nine corners, Saints couldn’t turn control into three points. Ross Stewart’s excellent header gave Saints the lead, but defensive lapses and disruptive substitutions allowed Nathan Jones’ side back into it.

We analyse the missed chances, the impact of the substitutions, Flynn Downes’ fire and whether criticism of Finn Azaz and Tom Fellows is fair. With seven games unbeaten but slipping to 11th in a congested table, how damaging could this result prove?

Attention quickly turns to QPR on Tuesday night. Level on points with Saints and arriving in solid away form, it’s another big test in a crucial week. We preview the match, discuss selection dilemmas and share our score predictions.

There’s also discussion on Saints’ FA fine following the Pompey clash, Fulham away in the FA Cup, and the latest on our Benali on Tour fundraiser for the Saints Foundation.
