Number 6

How's that not 2-0! 😂

Scrappy game so far. Good hit for the goal.

Hoping that will give him a bit of confidence, was a brilliant hit. Getting him and Abdul back on form would be massive for our promotion chances.

Millwall will want to just turn this into a scrap. Seem to be doing so too.

Although I spent a good 30 seconds shouting at the TV that it wasn't a pen before realising that that meant it would be a red.

Yeh I didn't mind the personnel changes as many seemed to, but using 2 windows for these 2 changes was a mistake.

Definitely a foul. Definitely a red.

We're 10 men away at Stamford bridge. There was never going to be loads. We still had KDH, Yunus, and Daka on though.

Only a one match ban for a professional foul isn't it?

Tbf I thought Justin on for Mav made loads of sense. Justin gets to play his more accustomed full back role and support the attack, while mostly being in his defensive position. Also think the plan was to low block and hope Chelsea over committed...leaving us a counter chance. To be fair to Chelsea they found two really good goals past this set up.

Generally pleased with that. Was a free hit and thought we gave a good account of ourselves. Chelsea certainly aren't as clinical as other Prem teams but I think the Bournemouth game and this shows how the system can potentially be effective at this level, with some signings. Ricardo back in for Hamza will be a big upgrade too. Kick on after the break and get the league wrapped up.

Thought we did really well in getting back level and then looked the better side for a while. Red forced us onto the back foot.

Oh how he needed that. Brilliant.

Think KDH has been really good down the left though and Ndidi looking better too. Getting the mins in.

General play is ok but it's not translating into taken chances, and it's giving up too many good ones at the back. Our defence is nowhere near this level.

Given there's a decent likelihood of Chelsea and Leeds winning today I worry about this place.

To be fair there are also lots of our fans who think the world is ending if we concede the first goal. We complain about our players not having fight, but I don't see it coming from the stands either.

Cov Ipswich will be moved now.

I think a team selection somewhere between our league normal 11 and Bournemouth is the way to go. Agreed that those not playing internationals should probably start. Give some game time to the likes of Coady and Doyle. One we're expected to lose but can give them a scare and maybe catch them on an off day. And if you want a league benefit then there's the confidence factor but also that it would properly **** up the game scheduling for Saints.

I reckon 3rd around 93-95, 4th around 90. Which is ridiculous. I won't be shocked.

Did they run out of red for the Ipswich fixtures?

Updated Opta projections showing about a 91% chance of automatic promotion. Still high but obviously has dropped a lot over the last 5 weeks. Find the fixture difficulty ratings interesting. Southampton got a lot of tough games and a lot of games just in general!

Pretty sure that's been taken into account and draws given in the games between the top 4, hence Leeds not hitting their max 106.

It's worrying that we have loads of CB options and yet I think we could really do with strengthening in that area if we go up!

Nope!
