SAINTS boss Ralph Hasenhuttl believes it could take more points than just one more win to keep the club in the Premier League. The St Mary’s side host relegation-battlers Brighton on Sunday, when victory would move them on to 36 points. Hasenhuttl, though, feels there is plenty of fight left in the teams battling for their survival to relax just yet.
Ralph Hasenhuttl said: “I don’t think that 36 (points) are enough this season to be honest because Fulham has a good run now and are showing up. But we are not focusing on 36 (points), we are focusing on getting as much points as possible, and on the weekend we have a chance of getting a few more.”
Saints face Bournemouth in the FA Cup quarter-finals before the international break and then have fixtures against teams around them in the league table. And Hasenhuttl feels it is an opportunity which his squad have to tackle head on.
Ralph hasenhuttl added: “Like the past few weeks, they are very vital. We have hard points to take, it is always difficult in the Premier League, but we have some interesting games coming up in the league and FA Cup. I am really looking forward to it, and over the international break we can get some training to help us massively on things in our game which have not been working.”
