Southampton game season defining. 16:02 - Jan 26 with 6533 viewsBlue_In_Boston

I watched them v Forest (wife a Forest fan) and also v Newcastle this weekend. They're no mugs, probably more Premier League experience than us so don't write them off. 3 points absolutely essential.

I’ve sensed some posters thinking we’ve already got the 3 points. It’s one we have to target, but we know they’re a good team despite their low points total. I’ve not seen them since their fraud of a manager left, so it’ll be interesting to see if they’ve changed much.


They’re not as bad as their points total suggests. They’ll be more relaxed than us, that’s for sure. Need a big big performance. And a big atmosphere.

I probably agree it’s a must win, the danger in positioning like this means we don’t accept second half of the season improvements are possible once we settle into Feb. As it stands, we’ve lost three on the trot, we need to stop that first then build from there. If we win, that would be very welcome but if we don’t the narrative is that the season is practically over. We can’t have the season being over in Feb, performances go only one way once relegation is accepted.

I’m not sure that’s true, I’m pretty sure worse case is we will only be 4 pts from safety still.


More that it’s a golden opportunity for much needed 3 points, if it’s not coming against them we sure as hell aren’t going to get enough of them from the others.

Definitely.southampton have not looked too bad recently.

Should have been out of sight vs man utd and just collapsed.

Did well against forest.

The sad thing is they’re absolutely due a win, and it will be classic Ipswich that it’s us that gets them at their best.

As much as they've become a meme, I'm astonished they have such a paltry points total. They've shown up nicely in several games I've seen.

They will be looking at next Saturday as a game they can win, no doubt about it.

We need to be switched on, on and off the pitch.


Agree, much like Wolves their performances don't reflect their points tally.

Gonna get pelters but suspect they will dominate possession.

There is no easy game for us this season and only a few months ago it was one of our toughest fixtures of last season.

However, we couldn't ask for a better fixture at this moment and have to make the most of it. It will take patience from fans though. We aren't going to be 3-0 up against them by half-time and they will have plenty of the ball and may get a goal. At that point we as fans have to make some noise in every corner of the ground.

Have to agree their new manager has them playing going forward, still woeful at the back, no pushover a draw a likely out come, that will hurt us,

We need at least 5 wins to be sure to stay up. This has to be one of them.

But how are we going to make up those 4 points if we can't beat the bottom side at home?

Considering we did the double over Saints last season when the discrepancy between our squads was much larger, failure to beat a struggling Saints side who have only won once this season and missing their star player Dibling would mean we have regressed.

Would like to see the team go all out attack from the whistle, no more fannying at the back and backwards passing all game like the past few we had. Saints are a de facto Championship team and we should treat this just like the games we had last season.


Agree with this, we need to approach this on the front foot, we are the home team.
It’s for them to try and keep it tight, get the crowd frustrated in the first 20 minutes.
If we are going down let’s go down fighting not surrendering.

They will be a tough game, they know how we play and have played well enough of late to have won a few games, they are due a win and it would be classic Ipswich if that happened on Saturday.

The classic Ipswich bit is what worries me along with previous home performances against bottom 6 sides.

Season defining game for Saints as well. They’re not in the Prem by luck. This’ll be the one game that they think they can get something, particularly as it was so close at their place. It’s going to be very tough!
