Southampton hero Nicky Banger insists they can get themselves out of relegation trouble.

Banger is adamant that if they change their mentality, then they will pull themselves out of trouble.

Speaking to the Daily Echo, the former striker said: “The only way you fix these things is on the training ground and by having a change of mindset.

“Saints must work very hard as a team and start keeping clean sheets.

“This will build the foundations to get results and build confidence. You don't have to win a match in the first 10 minutes, but you can certainly lose it.

“While emotions run high during the match, decision making is very important at key stages of the game - especially before half time and full time.

“Saints must learn to kill games off even if it means playing ugly.

“We have a great captain, but he is still young and needs help from senior players to point a few fingers when players are not sticking to their task.

“Saints need to focus on being very tight and organised both defensively and offensively.

“I don't think winning ugly is a bad thing – Saints just need to win, and people need to be brave."
