Match Day Thread Today's Games

Only one of those last 6 home games was against a top 10 team, Leeds, and they lost that 0-2. They drew 1-1 with Swansea(15th), beat Plymouth(19th) 1-0, beat Bristol City(12th) 2-1, beat Birmingham(22nd) 2-0 and drew 1-1 with Watford(14th). It could well prove to be a banana skin, especially if we don't show the same discipline we had against Ipswich. It will also be a test of just how much we've raised our game in recent months, but given what's at stake, we should be have enough to beat them.

 

Middlesbrough have been on a sensational run since beating us in March and I see they’ve just gone up against Hull. Feels like they may be the biggest risk to our play off position?

 

Their disadvantage is not having a game in hand like Hull, Preston and Coventry have.

Hull have equalised and it's now 1-1.

At HT it's now 2-1 to Hull.

 

I think WE are the biggest risk to our playoff position.

Sorry Rob, I'm being facetious. I'm still reeling from yesterday.

 

I spoke too soon!

 

Haha! No worries. Depressingly, I’m not reeling because I have to say I am more surprised when we hold onto a lead these days…

 

Looks like we've put the curse on Ipswich. 0-0 with Watfjiord

 

Hull 2-2 Boro. Good result for us.

 

Blackburn have just beaten Leeds. The door is wide open for Ipswich to go top against Middlesbrough.

 

If they can break the top 3 jinx at the moment. That game was at Leeds as well.

 

Boro now one up against Ipswich and Southampton could be back in the mix for autos at this rate!

 

Saints back in the auto promotion race if they win their last game in hand.

 

Borough v Leeds was a cracker last night. Puts the pressure on Ipswich now. Their next game is a " must win" . Their next two if Leeds do QPR on Friday.

 

I still believe we are destined to play Ipswich either in the semi-finals or at Wembley

 

It really does feel written in the stars doesn’t it.

 

I hope not. Might be third time lucky for them!!!!1

 

Leicester thumping Southampton 5-0 to all but end any hope of auto promotion for the Saints.

 

Does it make them the preferred opposition for the playoffs? Difficult to know…

 

No I would rather whoever is 3rd having to deal with the disappointment, Saints have time to adjust to their reality

 

Interesting psychology! What about if they get hammered by Leeds on the final day?
