It' s way too early for us to try and draw any conclusions from this result. Saints have been poor on gluepot pitches in recent years, plus they've been notoriously poor starters in the last couple of seasons.
One difference this year, of course, is that a new coach is in the saddle - and non-too-comfortably with certain Saints players (from what I've been told), and their superstars are visibly ageing. Even so, it's going to be Easter before we're able to assess where the two clubs stand in relation to each other.
If we kick on from this weekend, that Maundy Thursday match may hinge more on what we do than what Saints do.
