Leicester and Ipswich are where we all want to be (EDIT - in the League standings, not geographically!). I don't believe we're under pressure, we just keep doing what we've been doing. We're not looking nervously over our shoulders like they are.

Leicester and Ipswich can quite easily keep doing what they are doing?

No, we will be below Leeds if they pick up points tonight, so no one worth lookingf over our shoulders at.

[AlexLaw76]

Feck me, how are Leeds not winning

[Saint-Reece]

Bristol City look really poor.

So to be clear, it is better to be third or fourth rather than actually in the top two positions, because it's worse to be looking over your shoulder rather than just, you know, being ahead.

[Bad Wolf]

1-0 Leeds

[Cumbria Saint]

Leeds look very good. I think they are the team to be watching.

Bristol City have been rubbish though too 

[Saint Matty 76]

Bristol City really really bad. One good chance and that's been it.

Top 4 going to need serious off days to be dropping points to teams like these.

[Winnersaint]

Said it all season, play offs for us. No day out at Wembley. West Brom beat Hull with Leeds and Leicester autos. Not based on anything other than Saints doing Saintly stuff. Hope I’m shit at predictions.

Pretty much how I see it.  I've never thought we would go up automatically and I just don't see us winning the play offs. On the up side, at least we win more games in this league. 

[LGTL]

Come off it you two. It’s automatic or a Wembley win. We’re probably the best team in the league. 

[Tamesaint]

Don't worry about Leeds. We will win our games in hand snd go back above them. Ipswich are on their way down and we will be firmly established in 2nd place before the end of the season.

Leeds are certainly hitting form and picking up points though, we're going to have to keep our running going until the end of the season with very little room for dropping points. 

Being 4th this morning should help focus the players on that. Long way to go. 

[sfc4prem]

Still 18 games for us to go. We're in great form. No complacency, only fire and hunger. We'll fucking win today, of course we will.

[Patches O Houlihan]

Big Joe came on for the last 11 mins of Nigeria's quarter final AFCON win over Angola.

Tall Paul played the last 3 minutes; just as he played the last 2 mins of the last 16 game against Cameroon. He's becoming a specialist at being a time wasting substitute 😉 In fairness if its the last minutes of injury time and you give away a corner and Paul strides on, an opportunity to score a breakaway goal might not be your first thought as a defender!

That not having a lot of room is due to that awful run of games where we got mullerd - win one or more of those and the wiggle room would be there. Still we have 2 games in hand over Leeds so should be enough wiggle room over them. Lots of twists and turns to come so more a question of can we hold our nerve. 

[Winnersaint]

Holgate’s debut going well

[Winnersaint]

Getting messy at Bramall Lane now

[Lighthouse]

Some cracking finishes TBF. 

[AlexLaw76]

Getting battered here

[Micky]

Fans leaving already. 

[Saint Matty 76]

Seriously glad that Holgate is someone else's problem now.

[Winnersaint]

4-0 now. 

[AlexLaw76]

You don't save them

[beatlesaint]

He likes a hammering on debut doesn’t he? 

[Greenridge]

9-0 watch

I call it 10-0 watch, but sadly always end up disappointed. It will happen one day (hopefully not to us).

[Dark Munster]

Sheff Utd finished second on 91 points last season. Shows you how much stronger the Championship is this year. They'd probably be struggling to make the playoffs if they were in our league this season.

[DT]

Holgate having an immediate impact. God I almost feel sorry for Sheff Utd. Shades of us v Leicester that night. Fans started  going home after 22 mins

[SuperSAINT]

[Lighthouse]

Che Adams taught him that.

And a home defeat to Maidstone along the way

[Guest]

How many players have two 5-0 debut defeats in the same season. Mason Holgate must have set a record!

Only a 5-0 win for Leicester today. I’d be fuming if I was one of their fans. 😁

[The Cat]

Shows how crap Chelsea are these days that a 4-2 pummeling at home to Wolves isn't even a surprise.

Don't think Poch is going to last there much longer.

Watching the Arsenal v Liverpool.

The commentator is so fucking awful - "Gabriel and Nunez, two warriors at it, face to face, bicep to bicep"

Should take a leaf out of those Rotherham blokes’ book yesterday.

The greatest Keeper ever(tm) and the greatest ever Defender(tm), have had a shocker in the 2nd half.

Good wasn’t it

[hypochondriac]

Woukd much prefer arsenal to win the title over pool or city so that's a good result as far as I'm concerned.

The candle shop outside Anfield will be doing a good trade tonight !

I like Drury. OTT often and fucking irritating when he yells the the name of any player having a shot but refreshing use of English

You'll Never Walk Alone.............unless we're losing and then we'll leave a bit earlier.

The world's most overrated manager. That will finally end when he gets sacked (yet again), because surely by then everyone (except him) will wake up to the fact that's he's actually pretty crap.

Tyler is 106 and deserves his retirement. I definitely don’t miss ‘AND IT’S LIVE!’

He's not though is he? He's not in the group of elite managers but he is plainly one of the best of the rest.

Well he didn’t have his way at Spuds and more obviously at PSG . Now at Chelsea having to beat a team of overpaid individuals into shape with not  much say over incoming players . He’s destined to”fail” , already saying his job is on the line etc .
