Looking at the finishing position of the past ten playoff final winners. 4th 5 times 3rd 3 times 5th 2 times 6th 0 times May be the home advantage second game is the difference?

I think there has been some confusion here over final day (this Saturday) and Play off final (Sat 23rd May, ko tba)

If and when Ipswich go up, they will struggle in the Prem with VAR. Every single corner they were shoving our defenders away, blatant but never spotted. Also they won’t get all the dodgy pens.

A solid enough first half. Bit concerned about Wood man marking and getting dragged up field occasionally for goal kicks, leaving space behind. Leo needs to stay on his feet and actually skin a player with ease and then it’ll show the ref what he can do, put some doubt in his head whereas at the moment he thinks he’s just looking for it. Shame Manning had that shot instead of crossing it to an unmarked Larin. Reckon we’ve got this 2-0, unless the ref has a stinker and gifts them something.

The atmosphere in the stadium was pretty amazing, especially the goal going in. The standing in the upper areas was at times problematic for some folk. I saw one chap who was there with his elderly father who wasn’t capable of standing the whole game. Fair play to the fans in front who were ok with sitting in the most part. We have got some idiot fans though, young lads who have watched too much football factory. Saw a group of ten or twelve trying to wind folk up at the station on the way home. Not sure what they would do if they actually met some real old school types. Maybe see how tough our “yoof firm” is when they meet Millwall in the playoffs! Only other gripe is why do grown men feel the need to essentially shit themselves in a confined train carriage and then justify it by exclaiming “it’s the Guinness”.

I thought the halo on mine was a bit dodgy but the latest saints pics show a halo with a darker part. Admittedly, it doesn’t have the signature on the sleeves like mine. My one is very bright yellow.

A bit disappointing but we managed to beat Arsenal without him so why not City? Don’t think it’ll do him any harm to have a few games rest before the playoffs.

Roy has done a job on us this evening but certainly feel that Wood for Stephens just before kick off affected us. It’s been very disappointing indeed.

I’d swap. Charles with Jander at HT. We’ve got to be a bit braver and impose ourselves on their FB. Too oftenArcher is tracking back, yet Manning hasn’t got anybody. Give it 15 mins and then get two true wingers on.

Just not sure that Downes and Charles together works. Both are quality but for some reason when playing together we seem to miss something.

So my DH Gate special turned up last week. Bright yellow, suspect halo, clearly a knock off. My predicament is do I wear this on Saturday? I have little else that’s yellow, my MUSH 2003 shirt has sadly been removed from my wardrobe. Or do I just get a yellow scarf once up there… decisions, decisions!!

Millwall are one up after three minutes.

We won’t get a better chance to go at a team. They are struggling with injuries, offering no threat and both CB are on yellows. Come on beys, fill yer boots.

We need to punish this lot and get goals, lots of goals.

Interesting team, assume it’ll be Archer lurking around Larin. Not sure he’s quite got what is needed for the Azaz role. Should be solid enough starting eleven and a strong bench to get the result.
