well done lads fuller 6 goals in the last 6 games ;D and surman is turning into a wonderkid nathan dyer hit the post after 6 mins rasiak hit side netting after 10 mins (the word GOAL came up on the board so everyone thought we had scored ) hughes for leicester had a shot wide fuller then barged into the box before cooly flicking into the net sending the goalie the wrong way fuller bursted through and unselfishing squared for surman to make it 2-0. game quieted down second half rasiak slotted home for 3-0 much to the fans jubilation only to see the flag go up for offside as he the ball hit the net. (no way offside) fryatt made a superb run but blasted over for leicester surman unleashed a thunderbolt which was very close to the net then fryatt had a looping header cleared away prutton ran clean through but scuffed his shot at goalie then a man ran on the pitch and was waving (alos being chased by 3 or 4 stewards) he then dived down onto his stomach, before being escorted off the pitch! miller 7 - little to do but did nothing wrong, though he had a few poor clearances ostlund 8 - was passionate and slide in for every ball no matter what lundekvam 7 - was clean and tidy, made some good tackles and blocks as usual baird 8 - was very good again, the last few weeks he has been superb wright 6 - very quiet game today, went unoticed but held the midfield well potter 6 - some good passes and runs at times dyer 8 - was a real menace throughout, putting the defence under pressure surman 8.5 STAR MAN - set up fullers goal, took his goal well, made good runs and passes, tackles and crossed, could not be faulted fuller 8.5 - like surman scored and got an assist, made runs all afternoon and looked very sharp rasiak 6.5 - was off pace, unlucky not to have scored as he was wrongly flagged offside

There was a carnival atmosphere with Saints celebrating tomorrow's 30th anniversary of winning the FA Cup.
A wayward shot by Welsh was controlled by Hume in front of goal in the opening minute but the offside flag went up.
Dyer was upended by Maybury and initially play went on with Ostlund breaking dangerously into the box but then the referee bizarrely whistled for a free-kick. the ball was whipped in dangerously by Bale and Rasiak was flagged as he headed just wide.
Surman played a great through-ball for Fuller who was robbed by Maybury at the expense of a corner as he burst in on goal. Henderson punched clear and the ball was played back in to Dyer on the edge of the area. He played a quick one-two with Rasiak and darted in behind d the defence but slammed an eight-yard shot against the right post on six minutes.
Saints kept up the momentum from a bright start and three minutes later Bale drove in a low ball from the left which Rasiak turned into the sidenetting at the near post with many of the crowd thinking the ball had gone in.
Hughes tried his luck from 25 yards but Miller watched the ball swing harmlessly wide. Fuller threaded a cute ball through and Dyer almost got on the end as the defence dithered with Rasiak miscueing in the ensuing scramble.
The pressure paid off as Saints took the lead on 22 minutes through the in-form FULLER whose initial header looped straight up but then fell kindly for him in space to ram home from 12 yards. It was his sixth goal in as many games and his ninth of the season.
Three minutes later they increased the lead. SURMAN broke strongly through the centre and played it wide to Fuller in space on the left before racing on to meet the penetrating return low ball across goal, sliding in his first goal at St Mary's from three yards.
Dyer was booked for a foul on Welsh.and then Potter strode forward but fired over on the run from 25 yards. Then Miller saved Williams' clipped 25-yard free-kick over the wall.
Hughes needlessly conceded a corner on the right, playing the ball across his own goal and wide of the far post. Bale's low inswinger was smothered at the near post by Henderson.
Fuller's power and persistence have won over the crowd who were now singing his name and on 43 minutes he did well to whip over a dangerous cross after strong wingplay on the right.
In injury-time Potter broke strongly after Saints cleared a Leicester corner. He played right for Rasiak who curled a left-foot shot which was kicked off the line.
Half-time: Saints 2 Leicester 0
Leicester sent on Sylla for Williams at the start of the second half. Saints thought they had got a third three minutes after the break when Surman intercepted well from Hughes and laid a neat ball across the box for the unmarked Rasiak to steer in off the base of the left post only for a belated offside flag to go up.
Leicester went close on 51 minutes when Sylla put over a dangerous cross from the right. Miller clawed it partially clear but Welsh looped a header from the left of goal only. Baird though covered well to nod off the line at the far post.
Then Fryatt broke clear to the right of goal but shanked his shot on the run well wide of the near post.
Potter hit a powerful low 25-yard drive but Henderson gathered it well and then Bale whipped in dangerous deep corner from the right and the ball almost drifted in at the far post.
McCarthy was booked for a 59th minute foul from behind on Rasiak and a minute later O'Grady replaced Welsh and almost made an immediate impact with a low 22-yard shot which Miller saved well to his left.
Bale was producing some dangerous deliveries and another wicked inswinging corner was well taken by Henderson ahead of Rasiak. Dyer broke well and played in Potter who was clipped from behind by Stearman to give Saints a free-kick 25 yards out and just to the left of the D on 67 minutes. But Potter's whipped shot was too high.
McCarthy stooped to head away Dyer's cross before it reached Rasiak. With 15 minutes to go David Prutton made his long-awaited come-back - against the team he last faced. He replaced Potter for his first senior outing since the FA Cup tie at Leicester in January.
Both sides made a switch with 10 minutes left. Hammond took over from Tiatto for the visitors and Jones came on for Rasiak who got a warm ovation from the crowd.
Saints were forced to make another switch immedately when Player of the Year Lundekvam went off following a clash of heads so Cranie came on for the last seven minutes.
Dyer had a shot blocked by Stearman as he cut in at pace from the right. Surman slammed a powerful 20-yard shot into the sidenetting, again it looked for a moment as though the ball had crept the other side of the post.
Three minutes were added on to the end of the season as Prutton charged in on goal from the left but Henderson came off his line to block well. there was still time for McCarthy to be booked for a foul.
Plymouth's win meant Saints leapfrogged Burley's old club Ipswich to finish 12th.
After the final whistle the Saints players toured the pitch to thank the fans for their support. Pahars strayed sorrowfully behind, waving to the fans as though saying goodbye. His contract is up at the end of the season and so far there has been no new offer and looked to be waving a sad farewell.
Matthew Oakley also made an emotional appearance on the pitch with his contract also up. Richard Chaplow came back from West Brom to join in while long-term injuries Bartosz Bialkowski and Darren Powell also joined in.
Full-time: Saints 2 Leicester 0
