Just realised that unless Bristol City beat Norwich at Carrow Road tomorrow, Middlesbrough can't make the playoffs when they play Leeds on Monday and will probably be on the beach ⛱️.........bad news for us.

think Carrick will still want his team to turn up, considering every place is more money and for how bad they started the season too

Also there's the local Derby vibe to this fixture, particularly on the Boro side. They'd never roll over for Dirty Leeds.

Could we get the highest points total not to get promoted?

That would actually be the most Leicester thing to do

 

And then have that record for decades.

I think todays result would brighten the place up a bit more?

 

Nothing beats a win.

Lets not make things up. They played pure possession ball on monday. Preston were wank.

I dont watch their games, my comment is from saints fans who watch them week in and week out.

 

Russel has spells where he obsesses over possession, and spells where the team plays with more freedom, in the latter has been their good runs.

Personally don’t see Leeds losing and I think I would take a draw on Tuesday . Be nice if Southampton could be so kind to drop points today though

In addition to Southampton it would be good if Preston lose today. Their season over then.

[Tuna]

Took Southampton long enough to score 

[STEVIE B]

Saints ahead 

[supernuk]

No too bothered about saints think we beat them Tuesday to put that to bed.

Why are Cardiff so poor...never seen them have a decent game even though they've got a decent stadium, crowd and probably money

Not that much money tbf and they're owned by a moron. 

 

[LVFox]

Happy to be corrected, but I think if we draw on Tuesday, we will only have to match Ipswichs results (and win at least 2 points in doing so) in the final 2 matches fo be guaranteed promotion.

Screw that we should go for the wins all 3 points and let the others crack under pressure

Doesn't mean he's a good owner of a football club or that he has a lot of spare capital he either wants to or can inject in to the club.
