I see that there is now also an article about Saints written by Dan George ...


Noticed that our article is very much localised (listed under BBC Sport - Hampshire) compared to the national Wrexham article. Also it's interesting that you cannot comment on the Wrexham one, unlike ours. Perhaps BBC Sport were expecting the usual *YAWNS* with regard to Wrexham and so switched off comments?

I noticed at the time if you checked the BBC site most devices would place the Saints article way after the front page Wrexham one. It's getting silly now. We'd played the previous day, Wrexham had not yet were ranked as more important to footy fans.

The article on Wrexham just re-hashed the mostly fawning bollocks we've heard before anyway, nothing new(s worthy).

Simply continues and confirms the BBCs online lurch to clickbait fodder. Sad really.
 
Not sure why everyone making a big deal about promotion being sealed, a 30+ goal difference turnaround isn't gonna happen.

This. The big impact from this game (if the score remains the same) is at the other end of the table.
 
On paper that's a solid point for Blackburn. But it's another missed opportunity to surely secure their safety. They've now played two more games than everyone else down there, and if they want to avoid their fate being decided on the final day they will surely need to beat Sheff Utd in midweek now. Oxford will expect to beat Sheff Weds, as a minimum.
 
QPR are probably the most unpredictable side in the league. They can win games by 4+ goals and lose games by 4+ goals. They can beat a top side and lose to a bad side. They can play like a top six team and play like a bottom three team.

With their matches vs Millwall, Derby and Ipswich, they could yet impact what happens above them.
 
I think in the chaos of talking us vs Ipswich people might be sleeping on Millwall a bit.

Win today and I can see them winning all four.

Yeah I mentioned this the other day, doesn’t feel like anyone is talking about them at all and even saying they’ve missed their chance, but saying we have a decent chance.

With their run in they should be considered more likely to get top two than us
