We had 95% possession in the second half injury time. That's how you see out a game. I'm going to enjoy this season.

So much for fucking off 😆

Looks likely JWP and Lavia could be starting on Friday.

With these stats you'd be forgiven thinking he was an attacking midfielder not a left back. He knocked back two prem clubs as well. Decent signing.

He's obviously off. Hopefully he'll go to a champs league team and the only one I can see him going to is Newcastle. Let's hope it pushes him on further and can get back into the England squad.

Will always like Theo, shame he's not staying on for a season in the Championship as I think he'd do well. It's a scary thought to think that Luton are a better prospect than us now and could easily offer Theo a contract.

I'd love to climb out of relegation in the next week or two just to shove it down the throats of the pundits who all have us definitely going down as Everton, West Ham, Leeds etc are all too big to go down.

Ok, it's nil nil. 45 minute match. Let's go.

Gracia has had his work permit approved. Hopefully he comes in and tells them to play a different way to how they have been training all week. Confuse them. We could do with everything going our way tomorrow to get the 3 points.

Then we'll see how good Selles is, if he let that happen then he's not as good as we thought. I have no doubt he will not let them forget the shit we are in and that we have to fight for points in every game.

Looks like Gracia won't be in the dugout as he's having trouble getting a work permit in time. I'd like to see Edozie come in for Mo and KWP in for AMN but I'd understand if that didn't happen due to playing well against Chelsea and Selles might want to stay loyal to that team. Let's use Edozie and Sulemana ok the wing to terrify them on the counter and have Stu floating behind Paul with Lavia and KWP pulling the strings in the middle.

I don't agree with not changing a winning team. You set up accordingly for the opposition. Not whole sale changes but Leeds aren't Chelsea, we don't need AMN at the back, we can put KWP and go more attacking. Same with Mo and Edozie. The rest I'd probably keep.

That'll do pig, that'll do.

I think the injury time will be until Chelsea score.

This ref is dodgy. Blowing up for any little thing for Chelsea. We're playing really well, great possession football that even against ten men last week we couldn't manage. Chelsea will score against the run of play in a bit because that's our season unfortunately.

As everything was pretty much in place for an end of the season contract, with option to extend if all goes well maybe Marsch had a lack of faith in his ability to keep us up. If went went longer term and it didn't work out then we'd have to pay him off which we have spent a fortune on Jones so I can understand the reflectance to do that. Disappointing as I was warming to the idea and he was the best manager we could realistically have given us a small chance to get out. Not sure about Selles as he is part of the problem before so not sure how he will now be the solution. We look very Micky Mouse at the mo.

Marsch has a philosophy and a way of playing which he has stood by for years. Seems to me the trio of ex players are still finding their way. No brainer.

If he was to be sacked it would have meant we beat them, if Jones was still here he'd be going nowhere with that under his belt, for a few weeks at least. If Selles won it then he'd want a shot. Either way, why would a Chelsea manager come to bottom of the table Saints?

Odds have just shortened massively for Marsch. Now at 1/4. Seems like people with knowledge are lumping on.

There will never be a better chance for Jones to redeem himself and show us "his way". Yes we played well and then we scored and Lemons was sent off but then he went and managed to snatch a loss out of the jaws of victory. Nothing can redeem him from this. His way couldn't beat a ten man relegation struggler at home. Out possessed and out passed, by 10 men. Enough is enough.

I'd go with - -----------------Baz--------------- Bree-----ABK-------Sali-----Perraud ---------------Lavia----------------- --edozie------Alcaraz--------Sule-- -------------JWP------------------- ---------------------Tall Paul-------

With Leeds 2 up away at United and looking like getting 3 points they are another team pulling away. A win at the weekend is now a must.

My fear is that he's being given the Wolves game to turn it around, we'll win and he'll be given more time. We'll then lose another 5 matches on the bounce and be on for certain relegation. Got to go now and let Selles manage the team on Saturday.
