The 24-year-old has just celebrated the birth of his son, Arthur, but admits it is the Saints' current predicament - they occupy last position in the Premier League - which keeps him from enjoying a good night's sleep.
"Of course, after a game the adrenaline is flowing and I lie awake, thinking what else we could have done," he said.
"We are coming into a run of games where we can get points, and we have to - it is just about tweaking a few things and getting that right result.
"In any case, I want to do well for my (son) Arthur, so when he grows up he will be watching the Premier League - not Championship football."
Nigel Adkins' side travel to the Hawthorns on Monday night to take on an impressive West Brom and the manager is wary of the threat they pose.
"West Brom have a good record at home - they are a solid side who are very good on the counter attack," said Adkins.
"They have been in the Premier League before having yo-yoed a little bit but they look a very well run, well-managed football club.
"They have a way of playing which suits them, they have a good manager there and some good football players."
