But if Southampton drop points next week it does.

 

I don't understand how some people can't comprehend simple maths.

Ok, how about the simple maths of being able to go 9 clear of Ipswich on Tuesday? Bigger gap to more teams gives us more leeway so the closer side to us winning is the worse outcome

No. The gap between first and second is irrelevant. 

 

The gap to third is the important thing.

 

Winning the league would be nice, but finishing in the top 2 is vital.

Imagine what damage Fatawu could do with the space Dan James is getting here 

Yeah that's kind of the match in a nutshell. Ipswich play a really intense high press and are willing to be a lot more direct than us our Southampton in their approach. However, this means that if you beat their press there are a lot of gaps in their side when in transition as sometimes they commit both fullback forwards at the same time.

 

They will be at home on Boxing Day and will really take the game to us. Birmingham tried to press us high but did it naively, whereas so far we struggled pretty badly against Sunderland and Leeds. However, as we are away from home it may suit us, see our counter attacking against Southampton and Birmingham.

 

To me so far in this game, Ipswich have had more control and possession but have been killed in transition. It's a good game to watch to be fair!

Something has to go spectacularly wrong for us not to finish top 2 from here. This is just wether or not we open a bigger gap to second.
