Luton winning in the Prem puts pressure on Forest again, hope they hang on.

Hilarious that Notts Forest pull off their first miraculous win in weeks only for it to mean Jack because Luton are hitting form. 🤣

Southampton play Leeds,last game of the season. 

It could be either the biggest game in recent Championship history or an absolute non-event. No inbetween.

Would be kind of amusing though if Bristol go up.

I shouldn't have bitten but it's tiresome.

If it makes you feel better I wasn't just trolling, I don't rate him as a manager, although I like him very much as a person. Bristol made the right decision.

I think Southampton are more of a threat than Leeds. Win tonight and we are cooking.

Hard disagree on the first point but you're entitled to your opinion

Totally agree

the way leeds play is a lot more open than southampton, ipswich and ourselves. 

 

Part of the consistency we’ve had is that we control games. It might be more boring than the leeds style but it definitely is more reliable for grinding out results on bad days. 

 

When you have the quality that the top 4 sides do, than you just need to stay in the games sometimes and that quality will eventually pick up the wins. 

 

basketball football will get you eventually and that’s why i think leeds keep dropping random points

Possibly but I also think we will destroy Southampton when we play them . Russel Martin will come up with some nonsense to disrupt our game plan and Enzo will crush him

You heathen….Saints because it’s christmas, and Gabriel has to at least command this period in the season…

Joan d’Arc, good knightess .. wrong cause..

 

Saints will now secure. That 3rd spot, despite it still being rather early…

They just had to get their act together. Leeds can’t find that needed consistency and

leading the way in quality teams clumsily dropping needed points…

It seems they have mental discipline problem…

Though that would be our problem,but our players seem more clocked into the task ahead..Mentalstrength throuout is amazing.

Funnily enough It's Julie Driscoll & the Brian Auger Trinity rattling around my empty head.

[fox_favourite]

There's quite a competition for 5th/6th place, I think that spot will be changing hands a lot this season. 

 

Southampton hitting some impressive form, unfortunately.

Though I was going to say how strange it is to see the best team in the league sitting in 4th? Strange has that happens.
