People always say this as if it's somehow unique to Saints but it's nonsense. Even Leicester lost to QPR and Plymouth.

We’re unbeaten against the rest of the playoff sides, with 14 points from six games. Even if you include Ipswich, 14 from 8 would be 81 points extrapolated over a full season, that’s a solid playoff points total by itself.

So the flat track bullies beat another crap team. Excellent performance and result, just what we needed to get back in gear for the playoffs. Leeds won’t be looking forward to Norwich.

Both teams have clearly taken their foot off the throttle, understandable really. Obviously the result won’t count for anything but having listened to Leeds fans call us the, "flat track bullies who only beat sh*t teams," all season, it would be hilarious to do the double over them.

If we’d beaten Stoke we could have finished on 90 points and still been fourth.

Rate him or not (and I for one don’t) he’s clearly our best option leading the line until RS is fully fit.

Here come last day dead rubber man.

Ooooh, shame. A fraction early.

Simple question: what, in your view, would prevent a man - any man in the world - from using the women’s changing room?

You’ve gone from saying it’s silly to try something different in the last game to demanding to know why we didn’t try it several games ago (when we were playing well and winning games).

We weren’t playing Leeds several games ago.

Well, I may be confused here but I’m under the impression I’ve just watched a decent half of football. We played the way you have to in order to beat Leeds, ran at them, put their defence under pressure and even roughed them up a but towards the end. So far not a bad plan B, from the manager with no plan B. Only two downsides really: Manning is only a smelly fart away from being sent off and needs to be subbed. Possession was 50:50. Absolutely gutted.

Need Bree on for Manning at HT. Got to be on his last warning now.

We’re playing the way you need to get at Leeds and cause them problems. There is no tactic in the world which involves JS and THB playing the balls they did in the build up to Leeds’ goal. Those were individual errors. And now we’re 2-1 up at Elland Road. This game isn’t the disaster some people want it to be.

Adams through on goal. Forgets to take the ball with him.
