Game has taken on the air of a pre-season friendly.

Rothwell on for Downes. Not ideal but understandable.

Expect everything to go pear-shaped after 60 minutes. Could be a repeat of the Ipswich game.

Might be worth replacing Manning if Saints want to finish with 11 on the pitch.

Saints dishing out some tough stuff.

Saints losing the ball in defensive areas again. Leeds miss this time.

Sometimes just bloody well clear the ball. 1-1 from idiotic defending.

Game is passing Aribo by.

Ref bottling that obvious free kick on the edge of the box is a bit worrying.

I suspect Ipswich will be rather more confident of not losing to Huddersfield on Saturday than of Saints helping them out at Elland Rd. Good luck to them. Well deserved.

Live on Sky then.

Well at least Saints have managed to destroy any vestiges of confidence in Saints fans that they stand much of a chance in the playoffs. Just about every other team now knows how to beat Saints. Press high with numbers and lots of energy and wait to be handed the ball. No need to worry about the ball over the top into the channels because it hardly ever happens and when it does it rarely finds the target. Besides that there'll be plenty of time to funnel back into a solid defensive formation while Saints tippy tap and fanny around in their own half. The only reason that wasn't a 0-3 or 0-4 embarrassment was because McCarthy managed to get in the way of some shots. Fourth place ought to be something to mildly celebrate but this drab, boring and pointless end of season form has certainly soured things.

If he stays RM will have Saints looking down the Championship table rather than up next season.

Saints players moving around the pitch faster now than during the game.

Cross the damn thing and stop fannying around. Useless.

If this is what RM will be offering us next season then he can sod off right now.

Just lump the thing FFS.

0-1 down and fannying around with the ball in our own half.

This must be some clever RM ruse to make other playoff teams think they can stroll past Saints. Mustn't it?

McCarthy player of the match.

Will someone please look to play the ball forward?

Not as if their 'keeper has had anything to do. Saints blunt as a very blunt thing.

And backwards we go again.

Saints on the ropes.

Saints defence cut apart ... and again. McCarthy saves.
