When we lost Stu, Martin was trying variations to get the midfield functioning. When Baz got injured, we needed more adjustments. To his credit, he switched it. Stephens, who had been given minutes across the team being really and prepared to step into the back 3. Good man management and flexibility when he needed to change.

Welcome permanently to Saints THB! Looking forward to that THB/Bedders partnership in the top league.

yes! Well done lads! We were resolute, in defending today. Excellent performances. Not at our best as we sacrificed a lot of our game to keep them clear. Even then, James nearly got them back into it. Well done to Martin, who changed it up when we needed to get it over the line. AA with another super performance. Strong at the back. KWP class with Downes as our engine. Will with lovely touches and Aribo. Fraser kept them narrow and sapped their energy. I thought we lost some momentum when Brooks went off. But we'd got the goal, and we're content to wait for a great chance. Proud of our lads.

Stephens could have held onto that.

Well done Che. Gets the freekick.

KWP back on. Whew! 9 mins... Probably more now...

Injury time is going to be painfully long.

They have a lot of fresh legs on, as they often do. We're second to the tackles. Hang in there Saints!

Oh necks. Crossbar! James has made a difference. C'Mon Saints!

Sam a little lightweight, now we've Che and AA.

Manning!

Che with a Holgate moment.

Oh Sam... good position, but just didn't fancy it.

Yay! A free kick to us. A few non fouls have been going Leeds' way

A few worried looks out there. Need to get vocal and stay focused. A decent couple of mins of possession, getting away from a couple of hoofs.

We're a bit off the pace here.

Whew! I thought that was in. C'mon Saints!

COYR! There will be challenges, but we have shown how composed we can be throughout the season. 45 mins to keep showing our best.

Leeds had a stronger start. But we absorbed that, and caught them with all that crisp passing Martin has got them to do all season. We were on top, but dropped back a bit when Brooks went off. Really well worked free kick nearly got us a second. I wonder had Adams been on, that he'd have had the player's instinct to put it in. Downes did well stopping a counter. Lots of strong performances. A couple of worrying yellows. But much, much rather be in our position than Leeds. Hopefully, they've faded a bit. Hopefully, we will be in a great position to take advantage if we're left with more gaps.

Shame to see Brooks go off. He's been involved. I thought it would be Adams. Can only hope for some end product from Edozie.

Yeeeeeeesssss!!!!!

COYR!

How did CB Fry get on with the car?
