After a horrible match away to Coventry, Saints need to get the full three points to stay within the top six especially with an incredibly difficult March coming up.
With that said, here are the Saints XI:
Davis
Makin-Baird-Claus-Bale
Belmadi-Wright-Viafara-Surman
Jones-Saga
Subs: BWP, Rasiak, Dyer, Pele, Bart (GK)

Belamdi mishit his shot while he had the Ipswich keeper dead to rights and struck right at the keeper.
Still 1-0 Saints after 25 minutes.

Bale with a great feed to Jones who also mishit his shot with a one-on-one with the Ipswich keeper. Should have been 2-0 Kenwyne! :(

Ipswich split open the Saints' defence and absolutely blew it, thankfully!! Legwinski decided for the long-range header as opposed to settling the ball and taking the shot.
Still 1-0 Saints 35' minute

Interesting scores from around the league at the moment.
Hull 1 Brum 0 (Brum down to 10 men)
Sunderland 1 Derby 0 (Keane really have these guys playing well and will be a threat for promotion.)
Leicester 1 WBA 1
As things stand right now WBA & Derby are at the top with 63 pts. a piece, followed by Brum, Sunderland, Saints, and Cardiff.

No changes for either team to begin the second half. Belmadi with the first card of the match for shirt pulling in the 46' minute.

Jones blasts one off of the woodwork!!! He hit it so hard that the goal is still shaking about 30 seconds after the fact!!

Saints have been dominating the second half so far, but unfortunately they don't have a second goal to show for it.

Ipswich with all of the pressure at the moment which is very troubling as usual. Saints need to stop sitting back and get attacking the Ipswich net.

YYYYYEEEEEEESSSSSS!!!!
Saints win 1-0!!! :) An excellent result from a comfortable match in which we should have scored at least one or two more goals. It's too bad Jones couldn't convert his two excellent chances as GD is going to be very important.
With Brum losing and Sunderland scoring a very, very last minute goal to beat Derby Saints now sit in 5th with 59 points and only four points from the top spot. Would have been happy with a draw in the Sunderland vs Derby match, but there you are. It's too bad we stunk it up at Coventry as we could have been in 3rd and only one point off the top spot!!! :(
