Sheaf Saint

Aiming to do the Steel City quadruple with a win here. I'm wondering how their now confirmed relegation will affect them mentally. Sometimes in that situation, when the pressure is suddenly off, teams can spring a surprise on you (I'm thinking of that time we went and lost 6-2 to Derby after they had been relegated). But I don't think there ever was any pressure on Wednesday because they've surely known since the moment they got their points deduction that they were never gonna stay up. On paper it should be an easy win. But I've been watching Saints for far too long to take anything like that for granted.

I wouldn't mind a Millwall win to keep some distance between us and Brum. We ain't getting automatics, so we only need to gain one place between now and May.

You're right. I thought that was only 4-0 but was misremembering.

But what about the third half that Alex watched? When did that happen?

He had a few shaky moments in the first 15 mins or so, but after HT they didn't offer any threat at all and he was able to just meander forward without having to worry about defending.

Biggest win since...???

We should resurrect the old Boruc song for him.

Diving header from Peretz to protect the clean sheet.

Better than everyone outside the top three.

Charles coming on now

Reminiscent of that Sunderland game. At 5-0 you could see they had just thrown in the towel and more goals looked inevitable.

Larin looked spent when he came off. No point surrendering all forward momentum by just having Archer up front. And that's 5 - another cracker from Bree!

With a 4-0 lead, I'm ok with that.

Here comes Nessie!

Ref having an even bigger shocker than their keeper. Such an obvious foul on Leo right in front of him - nothing given.

How the holy fuck is that not a foul FFS. Defender wasn't even looking at the ball. LEEEEOOOOOOO!!!!!

That was a good run and ball in from Matsuki.

Yeah, tried it with and without. Just gonna use a web stream instead.

Yep. Getting nothing on any of the EFL or Sky channels.

Anyone else getting nothing on IPTV tonight?

Got to manage his minutes thought. He was out for a few months and we don't want him to break down like Stewart did. He'll get at least 30 mins tonight, I expect. Happy to see Matsuki in for Fellows, who has been off the boil and maybe needs a refresh. Edwards is starting for them. We should be well aware of his weaknesses (eg pace) and exploit them as best we can.

Mandelson arrested now.

It is to some, apparently.

Peretz still has credit in his account because he has shown that he is capable of pulling off some good saves. Pretty much everyone on this thread agrees that he could, and probably should, have done better with that shot today. When he starts letting those in every single time, then he will deservedly start getting the same criticism as Bazunu.

Disappointing. We were too casual in the first half - should have been out of sight before they equalised.
