The reverse fixture was the last time we were beaten before Bristol City rocked up and kicked us in the arse…

Russell Martin says it is a “beautiful thing” that Southampton are being overlooked for an automatic promotion spot with 10 games remaining.
Saints begin their run-in by hosting Middlesbrough on Good Friday and then travel to fellow promotion chasers Ipswich Town on Easter Monday.
“It is going to be a really busy five weeks and I think everyone is excited about it,” said Martin. " I think the beautiful thing for us is that we have been written off by everyone.
"We have a tough game against Middlesbrough who are in good form. They have been unlucky if you look at their data and they probably should be higher up the table.
“Over the international break, the guys that have been here have been fantastic. I have really enjoyed working with them.”
The Saints boss confirmed defender Jan Bednarek “should be available” for Friday’s game after helping Poland secure a place at this summer’s Euro 2024.
David Brooks, who has been ill but also featured in that same play-off game for Wales against Poland, is also expected to recover in time.
Elsewhere, defenders Juan Larios and Walker-Peters returned to group training during the break, while forward Ross Stewart “is back on the grass doing light training.”
My local team Leatherhead FC v South Park - Isthmian League action with the Bro-in-law on Saturday. Looking forward to some good agricultural football.
Bednarek & Brooks not quite ready.
Bednarek 1 yellow from suspension but that resets on Monday.
Sulemanna starts.
Oh how we’d love to see him tear a team apart as he implies he could but…
