    Bookies will probably say Leeds, but they looked like I feared we would today.

    Fair play to Saints, that's a great way to go into the play offs.

    Thought that was exactly the type of victory we have needed to see more of this season. Grinded it out & clean sheet second half. Few more of them & we’d have been top 2 imho. Lets win these bloody play offs then ay!!

    Maybe a Loading/Jabbo collaboration.

    Though to be fair I let Mrs No7 do the dishwasher this morning. No way though I am letting her do it next week!

    Couldn’t agree more, best possible end to the season. Didn’t create much but didn’t really look like conceding either.

    Exactly what we needed. Now let’s smash the play offs. Up the ****ing saints

    Leicester on the beach versus Blackburn. 0-2. Good job Blackburn were already safe, or there might be a betting scandal.

    I really don't know how much to read into today, in terms of looking ahead. As I alluded to earlier, I'm uncomfortable about using a system in the play-offs which we've not used prior to today. That's a huge risk.

    But it really did work today.

    But Leeds were clearly deflated in the second half, fans and players. That won't apply to WBA.

    But we've conceded too many recently, that an extra CB does help.

    But we've beaten WBA twice already without this new system.

    But our wide-men aren't on form right now, and Stu is injured, that asking our FBs to play as WBs instead is a reasonable solution. In particular, it utilises our best player in the best way.

    But that first half was crazily open. That won't apply to WBA.

    Over to you Martin...

    Loading's had his day in the sun (page 3 I think it was), Jabbo's in the driving seat and should get a shot at taking Saints to promotion glory (or semi final failure). Let's face it nobody else wanted this match and as Sid James would say most of us thought he was only in for a quick one. He's confounded the critics.

    I love beating Leeds.

    So if we lose the first leg, does Jabbo stay or go. Tricky one.

    It’s two halves of one match. Changing the driver while underway would be highly dangerous.

    Though we have often called for RM head at half time!

    We could also treat it as a sub?

    I'd give him the play offs on a match by match basis. If we lose the first leg hook him out pronto, no room for sentiment in this game.

    See relegated Rotherham managed to win 5-2 against Cardiff. How pathetic were Saints to lose to Cardiff academy. Then they turn up against Leeds. So annoying!

    How many points do you get for winning the first leg of a playoff semifinal?

    Don't do that. Once you start trying to make sense of the Championship, you'll only end up going mad and killing yourself.
