Southampton caretaker manager John Gorman is urging the club's players and supporters to remain upbeat, despite their play-off bid faltering.

Saints travel to promotion-chasing Stoke City on Tuesday, following a 3-2 home defeat to QPR at the weekend.

Gorman told BBC Radio Solent: "We have to be positive. It's no good everyone else being negative, we're trying to move forward, and help the team."

Saints go into the Stoke game in 18th place in the Championship table.

BBC Radio Solent has full match commentary on Tuesday, kick off 1945 GMT. You can hear it on 96.1 FM & Hants DAB.
