Is RM concentrating on the FA Cup?

What's the excuse today Russell? Poor in defence. Weak in midfield. Blunt in attack. It'll be Nottarf Krap for Saints next season.

Saints an absolute shambles.

Great save by their 'keeper.

Saints don't seem to have much idea in attacking areas. Desperation time now. Even a draw would be hopeless.

Even Millwall have sussed RM out. This doesn't bode well for the play-offs.

That was the chance. Easy shot straight at the 'keeper.

Another attack. Another goal kick.

Another attack crumbles into dust.

Just cross the thing.

We've actually had a couple of shots already this half. Comfortable for 'keeper though.

At this rate I'll be keeping an eye on who is in 7th place.

I suspect Millwall will be confident that they can nick a third against Saints suspect defending. It all feels a bit like September.

With all these goals being conceded there's no way Saints are getting promoted. Defensively we're a mess.

Conceded 2 goals yet again.

Defensively Saints are a shambles again. Penalty.

A deserved equaliser. Now keep the foot on the gas Saints.

Fraser kicked off the pitch.

It was dumb to concede the free kick in the first place. Will we wait until they score a 2nd before playing again?

Motivational speakers inevitably do the opposite for me. I'm normally in the Private Frazer camp when it comes to sport, sometimes wrongly I will admit. 😉

I'm giving up on automatic promotion now and resigning myself to Saints stumbling towards the playoffs where a semi-final defeat lies in wait. A scratchy draw today will simply confirm that in my mind. I wouldn't be surprised to see Leeds go up as champions with a convincing win on the final day. Go on Saints, prove me wrong.

Not sure that even 10 more wins will be enough for automatic promotion this season. Current form would make that unlikely anyway. Hopefully RM wouldn't tinker with selection when it comes to play-off games though.

Well at least we'll have a decent Championship centre forward next season. So they say anyway.

Leeds will be well out of sight by then.

That's what we got and deserved.
