Shambles at the back again. Backwards we go putting ourselves under pressure. Millwall just wait for the mistake and have a shot at goal. Wide though.

Bazunu indecision leads to another Millwall corner.

Jelert with a good run out of defence into space. Turns round and passes back.

Scienza off. Azaz on. 🤔

Turgid. Saints playing like a team with little idea of how to attack. Leo having a bit of a sloppy day but at least he's trying.

I'm starting to wonder how many points will be required to avoid relegation this season.

Millwall players stronger all round. All a bit men against boys at the moment.

That long throw should have been taken by the keeper with a shout. Corner conceded again though.

Cheap corner for Millwall.

Saints fannying around with it at the back. Blind pass played short so Wood has to collect a yellow. All a bit chaotic.

Scienza to do it all himself. Close (ish) .

Scienza coming far too deep for the ball and is giving it away.

So much space for Millwall to attack down their right. Another unchallenged cross comes in but shot straight at Baz.

If not a must-win game I'd suggest that is certainly a must-not-lose encounter. To be 10 points behind Millwall in the play-off positions at this stage of the season would make any thoughts of promotion this season almost a forlorn hope. Not impossible of course but given Saints mixed form I'd say improbable.

Half the season has gone and Saints are halfway up the table. That's counting and there's little evidence that anything much will change even with blind hope.

11 points off the promotion places and 10 points clear of relegation. Mid-table finish pretty much nailed on.

Lots of possession towards the end there but hardly any balls or attackers in the opponent penalty area. At some stage Saints are going to have to come up with a more attacking line up.

1-1. Not good enough if Saints really are after a chance of promotion but a welcome point given the listless performance.

Dumb free kick to give away. Totally stupid and it gives Brum the chance of a winner.

Saints not exactly peppering their goal with shots.

Totally taken the pressure off Brum and allowed them to settle.

Saints have reverted to fannying around with it and have now conceded a dangerous fk.

Ref spots something and eases the pressure on Brum. Saints need to step this up. Three points needed.

Astonishing! Archer scores. Brum complain about something but it's 1-1.

Archer on to try and breach a low block then like that has ever worked before.
