Saints travel to meet Queens Park Rangers in West London on Saturday and must be as confident as they have been at any part of the season so far.

Although the game at loftus Road is already being touted as a game of death by some with the losing manager being sacked on Sunday, the fact is that Saints can go into thhis game with great confidence.

Firstly although they have only picked up one point in the last three games, in each of them we showed enough to suggest that there are better days ahead, only drawing with Swansea was a blow, but it gave the players and for that matter the supporters a sign that there are many teams in this division that Saints are capable of not just living with but beating, if they can cut out the errors.

The trip to QPR sees a team that is starting to find its feet a little and shouldnt be scared of the opposition and now it has the right moment to step up a gear.

Although we havent picked up a point away from home yet, QPR is the ideal place to start, for their part the home side will be under tremendous pressure from their own crowd, if they go a goal behind their own supporters could weigh them down and that is Saints job, to silence the crowd and then force them to turn on their own team and manager.

Good support will be the key, QPR fans will be expecting their team to perform where we will have a large following up there who will be behind our team from the first to last whistle, we wont turn on our side if we go a goal down, the good thing about the away end at Loftus Road is it gives a good away following the chance to make a lot of noise and this could be crucial.

So now is the time for Saints to put their foot on the gas and if you havent been to an away game yet or are humming and harring over this one, then snap up one of the few remaining tickets now and get behind the team and cheer it to victory.
