The team seem super confident at the moment so unless we really drop off it like the WBA game, I think we'll win this. I think we got away with it at the back a bit v Coventry where we weren't challenging for headers, so need to ensure our positioning is better, as Peretz can't dig us out every time. Great to be in this position though as it didn't seem likely for much of the season.

Could only watch the first half today. Wow! What a result. And with 10mins extra time. Was that fair? Go to make the most of this win now. Wrexham - we're coming for you.

Larin in for Stewart Edozie starts Fellows only used if desperate, he's been really poor for some time now We should get more space as Coventry will attack us, so I'd keep Azaz in. Anyone heard when Wellington is due back. He gets us up the pitch at pace, which is crucial with Scienza missing.

Whatever plan Tonda has against a low block/limited space it doesn't work. This is where his lack of experience is shown up big time. If we're going to keep him on next season he needs a seasoned assistant alongside him.

We make it so much harder for ourselves by missing chances like that. Same thing all season, so frustrating.

Can't underestimate WBA. A good professional Saints performance gets this done, probably by the odd goal.

Players should be right up for a game like this, especially at home. Arsenal's games could be really squeezing up and whilst they're a top side, I suspect Arteta will rest a few players and we might just have a small chance. My Dad always said there's usually one big shock per round, so maybe that'll be us.

Liverpool v Southampton - you know it. Port Vale would seem ideal, we might get Robbie Williams as half time entertainment, so maybe not. Reckon we could give dirty Leeds a good game.

I'm hoping Tonda's new rule is that Archer is only allowed on the pitch when we're four goals up 🤣

Matsuki!!!

Credit to Manning for his part in the goal but he is an unbelievably shit defender.

Combination of Still and Christmas but that's history now, we've known even play offs were unlikely for some time, although not impossible. I think Fellows could prove another poor buy from SR. Seems largely disinterested but that could be a hangover from his spells at RB. Weird season all round.

Play-offs suddenly in touching distance and I reckon some jitters kicked in. We still have some mental fragility to deal with so not surprising. Unbeaten run continues but we need to find an extra gear from here to get back in to the mix.

Decent line up, decent bench. If the players are in a positive mood, should be another win. I can only hope Manning has watched enough of Wellington to understand what a left back does. Whether he's capable of doing it is another question.

That'll do. Their fans pretty much sit there in silence too, so great chance to take up our full ticket allocation and make lots of noise.

I went swimming during extra time thinking we'd probably lose so double Valentine's celebration tonight (We've been married 30 years, it doesn't happen often). Creds to TE, seems to be learning. Really hope Bree signs a new contract, good solid pro. Monday night draw. Yay.

He's doing it deliberately now 😅

This was clearly the TE plan all along. Make Archer look shit, bin him forever and smash the oppo second half. Fucking genius he is.

OMG, OMG, OMG, OMG, OMG, OMG, OMG OMFG!!!!!!!!!

WTF was TE thinking! Only Saints could start a player just a few days after we've tried to offload him. And not even a good player. A player who's proved time and time again he doesn't care and he's not good enough. Hook him off and look what happens. Madness I tell ya. Madness.

I'd pay good money to see you tell John Terry that 🤣

We need to get in level at half time and sort things out. This has been back to our slower, ponderous nonsense.

He should have been shifted on after we won promotion to the PL with our thanks for the Wembley goal. His lack of reaction to our goal at Pompey was unprofessional and not necessary, so on balance good time to move him out.

I'm not sure anyone's been told that all season 😅

Good time to play them then and off the back of a great result. Actually optimistic we'll win this one.
