Town goalkeeper Richard Wright is hoping Southampton can survive the drop this year, but do it without getting any points from Town. Wright ended last season on-loan at St Mary's, making 7 appearances which helped keep The Saints in the Championship for another year and he hopes they will be here next season as well.

Wright: "I really enjoyed it at Southampton.

"It was a tough spell in football terms because the club was fighting relegation from the Championship at the time so the games were tense but the club survived in the end and that was obviously fantastic.

"Going there also enabled me to play first-team football every week and that is what I wanted.

"I was staying down there during the week so I could sense the tension around the place, the pressure that was on the club and the players. I was aware they were obviously very important games but I was also aware that my livelihood wasn't really at stake because I was always going to go back to West Ham.

"I loved it though, great support, great club and I was delighted to play my part in helping Southampton stay in the Championship. They are in a fight again to stay up this season and I hope that they can win it again but without taking any points from us."
