You almost had me when you wrote "Live on MUTV" - good one :)
 
Bizarre format. Any of top 16 can become league champions through play offs as I understanding?

I guess it’s designed so that as many teams as possible would have something to play for after say January.
 
Fletcher bounces the ball into the net with the volley. Had 1 nice pass and move earlier and a good switch to the wing
 
Is that Jack or Tyler?
Until now, including the goal, he is using only his right foot
 
We need a can of fly spray around the camera
 
Warning signs were there but Southampton haven’t heeded them at all
 
It’s also very good to see us playing so well. Largely the same set of players who have been underwhelming at times this season, so this shows that the talent of at least half of this team is still there.
 
Gore, Wheatley and Sharpe all booked so far. Seems like every foul equals a card, for us.
 
For me Tyler Fletcher and Moorehouse have been our best 2 players in the first half. Fletcher has been a bit more successful with his forward and expansive passes than Gore and he scored the first goal with a the bouncing volley. Moorehouse has had good feet and dribbling, winning the penalty

Gore has been a bit hit and miss when he's tried more than simple possession keeping passes, but took his goal well with the left footed outside the box shot. Goalkeeper might have done slightly better

Sharpe. Missin and Ogunneye have had some good moments and some poorer moments. Sharpe was unlucky hitting the post, Missin has cut in well but his end product hasnt been there. Oguneye has had a few dribbles and won fouls

Probably the best pass of the half was early on with Murray playing a ball through for Wheatley who put the ball straight at the keeper. Luke Shaw-ish pass in behind the defence for the striker to run on to
 
Plenty of cox too in attendance. Nick Cox and Jason Wilcox watching the Amorim and Fletch.
