3 points from these two is a decent return. Could easily have been 4. Just need to make it count in the other games. Sheff Wed have done us a favour.
With the Norwich result - it's not a disaster. They are off to Preston next.
Win the game in hand and it is 2 points, rather than the 4 it would have been if Sheffield Wednesday hadn't got something from the game.
It isn't goodnight just yet.
I moved to Totland Bay after leaving Cov. There for 2 years then moved to Newport for 6 years (Trevor Road). Spent a couple of weeks in St Mary's but way after you left. We moved there in 2010 and left in 2018. Now live in Malvern.
The last two have been from a stone’s throw away from the opposition. Joke will be on the EFL on Saturday when they select P Griffiths from Cov.
Thought Simms was good tonight , battled hard , linked well and never gave up . Wright was way off it though
I thought even though we didn't obviously play how we can, we at least looked bothered second half. After the first half that's all I wanted as if we'd repeated it we'd have been on for a 4-0+

Southampton were much better than us, but at the end of the day, we lost because Wright slipped as he went to take the penalty and then we had an unlucky deflection against us and then a pathetic all but air punch from Collins to gift them a second.
We are still in this.
Still all to play for and Norwich went from 2 goals up, to only picking a point. Lots could still happen yet.

I wouldn't. We've got over a week until the semi.
At this stage might as well still give it everything we've got to try and sneak in, even if I do thing we've left ourselves too much to do.
Imagine if we ended up missing out on PO's by 1 pt if we play a weakened side against Brum and then don't win?
Better second half performance, couldn’t get much worse than the first. Wright cost us the game, stick that penalty away instead of posing like a clown for ten minutes before the run up and we take a point away.
Glad Bidwell got a goal and Tav made a real difference when he came on. Ohare and Sheaf quiet. Collins calamity Jane in goal

Wright was shite today unfortunately. If we had the lead it could have been so different. Collins was culpable for their 2nd goal (not sure what he was trying to do to bat the ball). A draw would have been fair, but wasn't to be. Sheff Wed did their part. Shame we didn't. Obviously, another summer of recruitment to add much-needed quality depth will set us up for autos next season. We'd stand a better chance of promotion next season and staying up in the EPL than this season.
Hopefully Van Ewijk will be okay. Looked like a rib injury.
Better second half but couldn't be much worse. Tavares was bright. Palmer's first pass was sublime for Simms chance. Should have started unless he had a knock.
Binks has so much quality on the ball. Moves it much quicker. Kitching looked leggy tonight.

They give it there all second half can’t ask for more than that. It’s not over yet. We love em anyway.
Yeah I just think we’ve got hull to play in our game in hand 2 days after wembley
it’s a tough ask 5 points with a wafer thin squad
We still need 1 Norwich slip up which is as you were really so it could have been worse.
Crucially it’s at home though - we’re formidable at the CBS
Feels a bit like the Ipswich game but not much has changed at the end of the day, we still need Norwich to lose a game or two, but the games are running out, that was our hardest game left I think so we need to go on a run now or it's on to next season where the league is concerned.
Missed penalties alone have probably cost us the points need for a playoff berth. Is that 4 missed for the season?
