I was at St Mary's on Wednesday night and I think the 'know-alls' will be starting to say 'I told you so' and the 'wheels are falling off' because Southampton have lost three in a row.

JEFF'S GEM OF THE WEEK

Port Vale just never win at Walsall - they hadn't won there since 1947 when George VI was on the thrown, going 26 games without a victory - so to come away with a 2-0 win was fantastic from their point of view. Micky Adams has been at a few clubs but some places just seem to fit managers and Port Vale seems to be that place for Adams. He's in second spell there and they're doing really well once again having been promoted - and it's not impossible to think they could make a bit of the charge for the play-offs places as well.
