Match Build Up Hi Red and White Army, We need to prove that St.Mary's a fortress for us Saints and what better challange then to face bitter rivals Leeds! As A.Pardew said your going to view to some Championship football on the day as 2 of the strongest teams lock horns together.... It's going to be a full house to march the team on today and we should at some period of the game welcome back D.Connelly and L.James into our team again. So, we've got all 4 cylinders ready for the reminder of the season, with Lambert, Barnard, Wiago and Connelly all at A.Pardew's disposal. The game is a sell out and it just like a championship match and last time we met it was a close game 1 - 0 loss but today we are stronger and I think we will command the game. Kick off
Jaidi headers over their bar and then the 2nd effort by Leeds on 12min. Shot by Hammond and then by Puncheon. The Ref is having another bad day!! GOAL!! Hammond and Saints well deserve it!! 25min The croud is not happy with the ref as a goal for us is dissallowed and Beckford should have been booked for diving! Its been all Saints which is what I expected but at half time the ref is the one on everyone's lips as he's had an awful first half HT Saints 1 - 0 Leeds have started a little stronger and Saints getting less time on the ball, we could do with another goal to ease the presure, although we should be at least 3 up in the first half. We're past the hour mark and Leeds have not tested Davis!! There is a lot of mid field play with Leeds closing us down quicker and not giving us the time to flow like in the first half. Wago on for Barnard but not much more to report on. Neither goallie having to do much. In fact the active people are the croud as they are in great voice. According to the stats the only shot this half was from Leeds and not on target however with 8min to go Wago had a shot saved. Saints picking up now and passing well. WHAT 5min extra time! Its been a quiet 2nd half however the Leeds strikers have had nothing! Yes we won!!!!! FT 1 - 0 10th Saints winning 9th Bristol drawing 8th MK drawing 7th Huddlesfield loosing 6th Swindon winning 1-0 Come on Brighton! 5th Colchester loosing SO Saints have a good chance to claw in on the play offs |
