You're getting warm-ish with your last sentence.

If someone doesn't get this soon, I may have to reveal the answer as I leave in 5 minutes! Clue #6: Think about where the games were played.....

Nope. Clue #5: It's something to do with "good luck" in the FA Cup - although these matches were both "bad luck"

Clue #4: It's related to the fact that neither match was a league game.

Nope (well, if that is true by some bizree coincidence, it wasn't the thing I was thinking of!)

Your context is right. In fact, both games were Cup games (obvious really - we wouldn't have been playing Rotehrham in the league in 2002!)

That's indeed true....but the answer isn't "both games were horribly scrappy!"

Clue #3: The Rotherham game happened in 2002, the Leicester game in 2006.

Clue #2: Both matches were harder than they might have been, but we lost the first and won the second.

Clue: It's nothing to do with the score in those matches.

Not that either. (here's me triple checking I have my facts right here.....)

Nope

What happened to Saints at Rotherham, but then didn't happen to them again for four whole years until it happened again at Leicester?

Palace by 5 points?

Palace?

Schneiderlin?

Torquay, Stockport, Sheff Wed, Barnsley and Oxford. Then Barnsley permanent. (then - irrelevant to the question - Swansea for ever more...)

I'm saying Barnsley (and after this spell on to Swansea)

barnsley...then on to Swansea?

yep, but direct transfer I think - not loan then transfer

Torquay, Stockport, Sheff Wed, Barnsley and Oxford.

yep...he shot just over after Matty put us 3-2 up.

Which Saint came within a whisker of denying MLT the "last goal at the Dell" accolade?

1 ?

None?
