Six Championship sides have tried to take three points from the LIberty this season and all have failed with most coming to play for a point.<\/p>\n

Wins over Nottingham Forest and Wolves were added to draws against Sheffield Wednesday, Derby, Burnley and Tuesday night’s stalemate with QPR.<\/p>\n

And evidenced by the fact that QPR managed one shot in 90 minutes – 66 of them against a right back in goal – the Liberty is clearly becoming a fortress – excellent news with Southampton due in town on Saturday.<\/p>\n

And midfielder Darren Pratley told the Evening Post “When you start the season you always say to yourselves that you want a strong home record<\/p>\n

“We have not lost a game so far and we’re looking to keep that going for as long as possible.\"Click<\/a><\/p>\n

“As players we all understand the way we play and I think the formation we play suits the players we’ve got.<\/p>\n

“We’ve made the Liberty a hard place to come with the tempo we play and our style.<\/p>\n

“Whoever comes here now is going to have to sweat blood to get a result.<\/p>\n

“When one of the favourites to get promoted come here and do that, it just shows how far we’ve come<\/p>\n

“And the fact that Alan Tate didn’t have a save to make after he went in goal tells you the story of the game.<\/p>\n

“We dominated pretty much from start to finish and the disappointment for us was that we didn’t take all three points.”<\/p>\n

And on Saturday’s game, Pratley added “They are another big club with a lot of young players who, like us, are full of enthusiasm, It’s going to be another difficult test for us.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
