Agreed. The fans were behind the team tonight when they needed it. St Mary's is rarely a cauldron of noise for a whole match.

I think this has a silver lining tbh. It was always incredibly unlikely we get top 2 (Millwall will win all 3). Now the autos are gone, playoffs are secured, we can have our day out at wembley, and then recoup for a bit. The Ipswich game no longer really matters, and we have Preston last game. This is far better than keeping some faint hope alive and missing out on the final day 🤷 This run couldn't go on forever, the team has looked jaded for the last 3 matches, they've done incredibly well (we have secured playoffs with 2 matches to go - which is mental from where we were), but something had to give - rather now than in the playoffs. And we still didn't lose! So lets all look forward to a great day out at wembley, and then 2 playoff matches Vs likely Boro, and hopefully at least 1 more trip to Wembley. And if we do make the playoff final, the semi Vs man city can only help prepare us for it mentally - whatever happens on Saturday.

This. The reality is that Millwall would absolutely kick themselves if Ipswich fluffed it and they didn't win 3 from 3.

Ross' hamstrings have done some good work as well 😂

I just hope we win!!! 😅 Have to pinch myself every game at the moment (15wins, 3 draws... where is the loss coming from 😅😄). This has banana skin written all over it in my mind, but then so did Blackburn and derby... and we just keep winning. What is happening?!?!?!? Not sure i can handle this, especially after supporting saints last season (which i would liken to the footballing equivalent of an abusive relationship) - are we actually allowed nice things this year?🤣

Season ticket holders do 19 or 23 home games a season... I would argue that if a member/non-member does the same number of games (same effort) then they should be in the same access bracket personally (although they've paid a lot more for it).

That was my recollection.

Well said. And what shouldn't need to be said, is that if two fans both attend the same number of matches (be it 3, or 5, or 8 etc.), one of them isn't a better fan because they have a membership and the other doesn't. We're all saints fans, anyone who makes the effort to go and support the club shouldn't be looked down on as a second class fan because they didn't buy a membership in July!!

It is absolutely mental how long it took successive managers (including Eckert) to adopt the obvious 4-2-3-1 formation, the uptick in form post this is stark. What is it now, 18 matches, 15 wins, 3 draws... 😄. It feels like a distant memory when people were asking where the 5 at the back crap was coming from through successive managers.

Looks like the Ipswich board have selected a few comments from prized posters on SaintsWeb (and then compared us to the Millwall board). The overall verdict being that we are "a well mannered and good footy forum"... take a bow all😄😅 Forum | The RUN-IN - Town & Rivals - REFRESHED - Saints now in the mix! by unstableblue | TWTD.co.uk

Not sure its as straight forward as this? If you aren't logged in then you won't be eligible to join the queue?

This season is getting to the "pinch yourself" stage...

Portsmouth are winning!!!!

I fear that if we don't get promoted, we will be vulnerable to losing him. We all know that in that situation, sales will be required this summer - would he stick around to build up a new team when its likely he'll have bigger clubs or Bundesliga clubs calling etc?

It's very unlikely we catch Ipswich, and we shouldn't be relying on relegation fodder for the slip up needed to catch them... With that in mind, I hope Ipswich smash them and help send them down 😅
