That crap free kick takes the pressure off Ipswich.

That is a brilliant goal. Well finished. And no tippy tappy required.

Why not just shoot?

Adams scores!!!

Saints receive the ball in the final third and then pass it back. Ipswich take a shot and score. Amazing this new football theory.

Wonder if Adams was watching that finish by Mo Salah.

Hysterical EPL hype. Makes me feel just a bit better about the possibility of missing out on promotion. You can certainly stick VAR where the sun don't shine.

If Saints are within 2 points of Leeds in the final game it'll likely be a battle for 3rd place.

That too. It'll be tournament football and there are still no points awarded for possession stats.

Do something about that leaky defence that provides acres of space for opponents for starters. Also wrap Ross Stewart in cotton wool and start giving him some limited game time if he's ready. Either that or give Adams and co some lessons on finishing. The problems are plain to see so take some time to fix them.

Adams to come off the bench and grab a brilliant consolation goal in the 95th minute. Saints bubble has slithered to a gooey mess. Everything now should be about preparing for the inevitable play-off games.

Now the job will be to hold on to 4th place and I'm not sure about that.

And that, folks, is why we'll be playing in the Championship next season. And the season after that. And ... etc, etc.

Play-offs it is then. More points thrown away.

Saints even more profligate than usual today. Should have made this game safe by now.

Stephens shows some pace there

Saints getting crosses into the box but trouble is there's no Ron Davies there to take advantage.

Saints will regret those misses.

Adams misses another sitter.

Adams misses sitter.

Started the half with lots of intensity but it's dropped away as usual and now 'Boro can sense at least a point. Need to step it up again and be more careful with the passing.

Saints in the final third are so predictably poor. Let's have some composure.

Complacency setting in again.

Saints intensity has dropped right off. Expecting an equaliser at any moment now.

Hopefully Leeds will have nothing to play for on the last day of the season. They'll likely already be champions.
