Playing 10 vs 11 for over an hour is difficult even if you're a significantly better team than the opposition. The fact we're talking about one good save and one kicked off the line in about 70 mins of football shows how well we defended, even if Southampton's forwards weren't great. I do think some people's expectations of the day has skewed the viewpoints a bit. New season, last year's bad luck behind us, fresh legs back in the team, at home, newly promoted cannon fodder side visiting, we'll win 4 or 5 nowt, fancy so-and-so for a hattrick etc. We turned a potentially difficult afternoon into three points and a clean sheet to go with it. Don't see how you can be anything other than pleased about that. Also, something that disappointed me last year was the lack of streetwise shithousery, running down the clock, winning free kicks late on etc. and it looked to be back which will serve us well. The performances will evolve when we get the likes of Gordon, Bruno etc back up to full speed and introduce Willock, Tonali, Kelly and any other new additions to the side and I think we'll look back at this game in May as a very useful building block to kick our season off.

Real shame that for Olley. Hatty on the opening day and then subjected to an assault like that in the second game, season over. Fingers crossed it doesn't derail Gateshead's promotion push this year.

Do you mean the Premier League season, or the season of autumn?

This is the Sheffield Wed that won 4-0 last week Championship gonna Championship.

Ah yeah, when Pope went down to receive treatment and managed to get a Southampton centre back sent off in the process. That was really shitty from Nick.

He's really reliable cover, like. Did well coming into that today. Burn was the standout defender but next to him he was no fuss, efficient and solid.

That's as soft as shite pen award. Should be overturned but wouldn't be surprised if it stands.

Yeah I had to choose between those two. Joe was magnificent and the goal was a really great touch and finish. Gave it to Burn because he was over employed today and almost every Southampton shot seemed to go off him for a corner or be headed away by him. Close call.

What an absolute monster. Put on a clinic in super defending today.

Burn man of the match there. An absolute monster and got in the way of everything.

Brainless from Schar to give the referee a decision to make, especially when it's an incompetent fucking cunt like Pawson who couldn't wait to wave the red card. Absolutely ridiculous that VAR didn't overturn it and watching that greasy long-haired relegation fodder cunt laughing on the pitch afterwards gives that familiar sense of complete injustice. Hope he breaks both his legs second half.

Hope Brereton Diaz breaks both his legs, cunt.

Thick as pigshit, Schar. Well done.

Pawson still an incompetent cunt then.

Please be onside.

All the soft Ipswich yellows he's given and then the one nailed on blatant one he ignored

Tell us what you think of the pitch please, Jermaine?

Ref waving yellows at Ipswich players for fun but equivalent or worse ones by Liverpool players, nah. Welcome back to the PL Ipswich.

I liked the idea of Ipswich being back in the PL and then they throw Sheeran and that incredibly small time PA man at us and I'm now wavering.

I wasn't being serious like

Swear to god if we don't win tomorrow this is going to feel like such a depressing start to the season.

Imagine if we could have enjoyed that Garnacho miss at 0-0

Fuck off you spawny disgusting cunts. Cancel the season please.

How many chances is Casemiro going to miss fuckers had about 8 shots
