On this day… 28 February 1996 Southampton 2-0 Swindon, FA Cup 5th Rd replay We needed a late Gordon Watson goal to avoid defeat after a poor display in the first tie, but were too strong for Swindon back at the Dell. Matt Oakley and Neil Shipperley scored the goals to take us through. #SaintsFC

On this day… 27 February 2010 Southampton 5-1 Walsall, League 1 A team strong enough to have Michail Antonio on the bench was inevitably far too good for Walsall. Lee Barnard hit a brace - part of a run of 6 goals in 5 games for the in-form striker - in a comfortable win. #SaintsFC

The season after they got 11 points in the Premier League, Derby finished 18th in the Championship and avoided a second successive relegation by 8 points. At this point, I would take that.
