Next weekend will be interesting. Leeds not playing until Monday and Ipswich not playing at all! 

Let's get 3 points and make them sweat. Not easy for Leeds away at Boro.

 

I am impressed by Ipswich, but would hate for Leeds to go up at our expense.

And West Brom will be without asante as he was sent off today. Also  at cov

That Saints winner is a real pain. They’d have been done if it had stayed at 2-2. Now they’re still

alive and kicking for autos 😖

Only Norwich or Hull will get 6th now, rest too far behind surely?

 

We need to get something when we play Saints, even if it's just a draw, can't let them beat us.

Norwich only a point behind Albion now, I’d like Ipswich in the Play-Offs though.

In fairness, those "better sides" are less likely to defend with 78 players in their own six yard box. Southampton in particular aren't exactly going to sit back and try to spoil. 

 

I'd much rather we play teams like that. 

 

True, I agree. 

 

But they do have better players up front. With how porous our defence is, I don't see us keeping clean sheets. So while there will be open areas in their defences as they don't play low blocks, I hope we find our finishing boots and don't play Daka...

It's in our hands again, but that doesn't mean much !

We've got butter fingers though

I get the anxiety and frustration, but look at how many good chances  we missed last night, and the Mav header at the end against Millwall. Ok it’s a cliche , but on another day at least 1 goes in. 

[StanSP]

Leeds vs Southampton on final day may be relevant after all...

how dare you, we have Vardy; and Saints will be on a 3 game week too when they play us, as theyve got Preston on Tuesday, Cardiff next saturday then us in the week after

 

[FrankieADZ]

tbf tho the way its going fully expect sky to show some relegation games on the final day, its so so close down there

[Tielemans63]

Stop doing it to yourselves, people

Daka missed one absolute sitter. We barely troubled the keeper for the rest of it, lets not pretend we had tons of clear cut chances

[Md9]

I am glad we don’t have a mid week game I need a rest from this stress 

[Simonb]

We got away with it just as much as Leeds and Ipswich have.. massive chance for soon albeit a tough run

Gutting.

 

Potential handball too in the 99th after 7 minutes was shown but I know that is only a minimum. 

 

The other 2 goals were gifts from us too really and we hit the bar/had one cleared off the line.

Our defence isn't porous though is it? We've basically been done twice in a weak by teams that have had one chance and taken it. It's our attacking play that has fallen off a cliff.

[Leicesterpool]

Title race now gone from three to four now with Southampton winning. They beat us in that game in hand puts them in a good place. For a netrual its exciting for Leicester and leeds fans its a nightmare... Ipswich fans are just partying whatever the outcome.

[Stinkenzo]

The scenes when we go up in 2nd on 88pts

We'll beat Southampton because they'll try and actually play us. It's the low block counter teams that we look like bin men against. 

[coolhandfox]

We will be Southampton 5th game 14 days.

it may be if they beat us. Its a good fall back actually 

[Tommy Fresh]

Could be 5 points clear of Ipswich by the time they play next

You're right, especially last night we were unlucky to lose. But we should be creating many many more chances than we do against these standards of teams. It's a disgrace that we aren't.
