Saints' season is in the balance over the next week or so. They need to pick themselves up after the disappointment of being dumped out of the fa cup, and concentrate of the far more pressing concern of promotion. The next three days are crucial as Saints battle to keep the services of Gareth Bale, with reports that Man Utd are readying a new bid. Then comes a string of important matches, with the saints hosting in-form Sheffield Wednesday (on wednesday night) and top of the table Derby on saturday, followed by a trip to West Brom. If Saints could win all three or manage 7 points, it would leave them in an excellent position for a concerted automatic promotion push. Do badly on the other hand, and we could be resigned to a play-off slot (at best).
