Tuesday Night Football

[Doctoroncall]

Some important matches being played by our promotion rivals.

Brentford v Huddersfield
Carlisle v Plymouth
Hartlepool v Leyton Orient
Rochdale v Notts County
Sheff Wed v Peterborough

All kick-offs at 7:45pm

It would be helpful to see some home wins or draws tomorrow.

[ericofarabia]

LOL Even more games in hand - how come we aren't playing?

[THEVMAN]

You would have thought that we would have a game on tuesday considering the games we have in hand on some of the others,rather have the points on the board than a backlog.

[benjii]

The first of three consecutive away matches for Pboro....

How sweet it would be if they both lost... please please please please please....

[SO16_Saint]

Im gonna bet on Peterborough and Huddersfield to win.

They will DEFINITELY lose then....

[Le Goddard]

Sheff wed have a big say in our league position this week then.

[adriansfc]

I bet the ****s win them all.....oh tits

I will take that bet DD :-)

[woodsaint]

The first of three consecutive away matches for Pboro....

5 of their next 6 are away from home

You sound about as successfull as me.

[Appy]

I'm guessing the Plymouth fans have left already.

[jam]

Nice gruelling game for Wednesday and Peterborough with a home win please.

[Jack]

Nice gruelling game for Wednesday and Peterborough with a home win please.

This. We want a bloodbath, a couple of red cards to key players. Don't want anyone to be properly injured, but a few knocks and some tired legs could favour us.

But, Sheff Wed have been pony recently and I fully expect Posh to win at a canter

[NickG]

I'm guessing the Plymouth fans have left already.

only about 800 mile round trip!

Let's hope so.

[eurosaint]

A big night for us, without even playing !
Any points dropped will be a bonus !!
COYS

[Jimmy_D]

Results do tend to go our way when we're not playing...

[silversaint]

Orient will draw, Hudds & Posh will sneak away wins. Do we want Sheffield Wed in confident mood going in to Saturday or is a draw the best result?

[JustMike]

might be an odd question but why are they all playing when it is us and Brighton that has games in hand?

Incredible isn't it ?
I couldn't believe it when I saw they were all playing tonight.

[trousers]

Does seem a bit out of kilter. I've not checked but what with our game on 26th March also postponed now, we could find ourselves with 3 or 4 games in hand over our rivals for the 2nd spot with a month and a half left of the season.

Weird.

[trousers]

My gut feel is that this lag will work in our favour. We're (historically) much better at chasing a target than preserving our position.

[JustMike]

lets just hope the amount of games in a short space of time doesnt hinder us.

[Matthew Le God]

might be an odd question but why are they all playing when it is us and Brighton that has games in hand?

Because games can only be rescheduled for when both teams are available.

For example Saints had a game postponed against Rochdale. Rochdale however are playing Notts County tonight, so Saints can't play that game etc etc

[thefunkygibbons]

Cannot expect all the results to go our way, but lets hope that we get something positive out of them

[toofarnorth]

Huddersfield have tough game, however cant see past a peterborough win.

And if you add neither IMO nor IMHO would it mean it wasn't your opinion at all? In that case shouldn't you add ISEO or even ISEHO?

I can't see us picking up all 3 points tonight although being able to add Ward to the squad is a massive boost

Posh will win if CMS hasn't left

[Nexstar]

Think Brentford will hold out for a draw. Wednesday might do us a favour, but depends how many goal-line clearances they can make.

[Doctoroncall]

only about 800 mile round trip!

The weather isn't great so hope it doesn't get called off late.

[ericofarabia]

A mass brawl on 91 mins ending in 6 red cards each + 6pt penalty deduction for both sides will do fine....

[Saint_Ash]

Not too fussed about Hudds, they'll fall away, it's Peterborough we need to lose tonight! 2 points behind them with 2 games in hand looks better than 1 game in hand.

[trousers]

Too slow...http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?28848-Tuesday-Night-Football

Better to have "tonight" in the title than "Tuesday" though, now that the day have cometh..... ;-)

Leyton O can still have a big say in the final outcome.

Weds have I believe won their last two away but lost at home. Time for them to change that around methinks.

I'd settle for this.

[NickG]

Think its three horse race personally, us Huddersfield and Peterborough.

As long as those two drop as many points as possible I'll be happy.

[Barry the Badger]

Do we want Sheffield Wed in confident mood going in to Saturday or is a draw the best result?

I think it's a case of cross that bridge when we come to it, we need them to beat Peterborough.

[Andy Durman]

Anybody who thinks that Peterborough will win at a canter is not on the same planet as me. Sheffield Wednesday are a sleeping giant and are capable of anything with 25,000 fans behind them. Peterborough will need to be up for this game if they want to get anything from it.

I will go for a 1-1 draw

[alpine_saint]

Recently we seem to do better when we arent playing.

Lets hope our form continues !!!

[Saint_clark]

Well we certainly don't seem to drop any points, if that's what you mean.

[Le Goddard]

have you seen wednesdays home form?

[Le Goddard]

Woops, that was @ Andy Durman.

[Saint-scooby]

Im gonna bet on Peterborough and Huddersfield to win.

They will DEFINITELY lose then....

Good ploy think its worth a tenner

[scott_saints]

I'm also putting money on them both to win. Even if one draws and one wins....that'll do.

[trousers]

Sheff Wednesday rarely get over 20k, and spend most of their time silent or booing their players. Even when they were going fairly well when we played them at Hillsborough , this was still the case.

SW 0-3 P'boro IMO

[Appy]

Peterborough will tonk Sheff Wed.


I think Brentford and Huddersfield will draw.

25K at Hillsborough? LOL

[Window Cleaner]

Depends if peterborough have sold a lot of tickets I guess, can't be that far, 70/80 miles something like that!

He did mention 25 thousand fans being behind them ;)

[Window Cleaner]

He did mention 25 thousand fans being behind them ;)

Obviously a bit deluded then, those 25000 fans are probably wondering why they hired Megson in the first place.Stupid decision, same as sacking Pa..


......kinson I guess.

You sometimes have to wonder just how football chairmen feel when one of their decisions goes so obviously wrong, do they think "well I really firked up there didn't I"

[bender]

might be an odd question but why are they all playing when it is us and Brighton that has games in hand?

Next Tuesday we play and they all dont, and the same on April 12th. On April 5th we all play except Hudders. That gives us our 1 game in hand on Posh and 2 on Hudders.

[Griffo]

Depends if peterborough have sold a lot of tickets I guess, can't be that far, 70/80 miles something like that!

I think it's nearer 100 miles, but they still should have well over 1k there.

[Window Cleaner]

I think it's nearer 100 miles, but they still should have well over 1k there.

I'd doubt that it's that far actually, I used to drive between the 2 places from time to time and it didn't take all that long.

[trousers]

No goals yet

[SparkySaint]

Two draws would do me

[del boy]

24 mins Sheff Wed - attempts on target 0, attempts off target 0

[bender]

bugger wed 0 posh 1

[slickmick]

1 nil to peterborough

[Appy]

Craig Mackail-Smith seems massively unsettled by these rumours.

[S-Clarke]

[alpine_saint]

I am beginning to f**king hate Peterborough

[Appy]

Orient 1 up.

[alpine_saint]

bloody Mackail-Smith

We're going to regret not upping that offer...

[Saint Without a Halo]

Boro and orient both 1 up now!

[trousers]

Oh well.....just need Huddersfield to knock one in now for the full set

[Appy]

Tartanowl about tonight?

[S-Clarke]

Tartanowl about tonight?

He's been gone for a long time! :lol:

[Appy]

He's been gone for a long time! :lol:

I think his last post ended with Bring On Promotion!

[Saint Without a Halo]

Peterborough are going to be the team to catch they seem to be on a hot streak now! Earlier in the season they were winning at home and losing away but now they seem to be winning home and away!

[Appy]

It's fine, we got Forte instead. . . .

;)

[Appy]

Carlisle 1-0 Plymouth


I wonder how many of the green army are there.

[NickG]

We're going to regret not upping that offer...

1) doubt he would have signed

2) they would be after absolutely silly money for a league 1 forward if we were the buying club - a 28 year old league 1 forward for £4m???

[Saint Without a Halo]

(if we don't win our games in hand)

sure but we still need to catch them games in hand or not!
Orient on a hot run too but probably can only make the play offs now!

[Appy]

2-0 to posh.

Tomlin.

[Lallana's Left Peg]

Posh now 2 up. At least this gives us some encouragement for Saturday, Sheffield Wednesday really must be garbage.

[adriansfc]

Been stated many times he wasn't for sale. Barry Fry said he didn't care what was offered in January. Why would they sell their promotion chances exactly?

But don't let common sense or facts stop you having a moan

[Jack]

Something about Posh winning at a canter.....

[Saint Without a Halo]

2-0 to posh.

Tomlin.

Oh dear! We are not going to be able to afford any slip ups from here on in!

[jamesfp1]

Peterborough will win the league at this rate!

[NickG]

posh only 45% possession accoring to bbc but still 2-0 up

[NickG]

reckon Sheff W 4 Posh 4?

[Appy]

Peterborough will win the league at this rate!

No, no they won't

[slickmick]

******s 3 v 0

[Lallana's Left Peg]

It doesn't really mean alot, nearly everybody lets in bag loads against Peterborough

Yeah but half decent teams score at least two against them as well. If Sheffield Wednesday can't score against them and get dumped by 3 or more, I really do expect us to win comfortably on Saturday.

[S-Clarke]

FFS , how **** are Wednesday?

3-0 now.

I bet they'll miraculously turn into an amazing side against us on Saturday..!

[adriansfc]

Pboro look very consistent. Good luck to them, it's win or bust really in terms of keeping their big names. They're going to make us fight for it, but maybe that's exactly what we need to be consistent ourselves? They won't win every game so even if we fail to overtake them with games in hand we'll get our chance.

If we keep in touch or even overtake them while they're in this kind of form then they're in trouble if they let it slip. If sheff weds keep up like this they're in for a relegation fight. Just wish we didn't have them on tv on Saturday. At 3pm I'd be confident of stuffing them.

[Saint Without a Halo]

Peterborough will win the league at this rate!

If they keep up this form they will more than likely catch Brighton! (although Brighton have the easiest of the run ins)

[Minty]

3-0 now...

[Appy]

3-0 Boyd.

Quit your foul demented rants and breathe deeply.....

[Saint Without a Halo]

reckon Sheff W 4 Posh 4?
would be nice but isnt it only Saints that give away two goal leads?

[alpine_saint]

Our GD advantage is evaporating by the game............

[The Hoff]

I'd be inclined to start worrying about their goal difference..

[simo]

No one is going to do us a favours we're going to have to do it our way (which is always the hard way ) !

[Thedelldays]

posh are going to get 2nd spot...fergie jnr has sorted them right out

[Appy]

Our GD advantage is evaporating by the game............

It would do if they play and we don't.

Idiot.

[the colonel]

Borough goal difference catching up on ours very quickly. only 7 now was nearly 20 a few games ago.

[jamesfp1]

No, no they won't

They will at this rate. They wont if the stop scoring.

[Saint_lambden]

Luckily it's in our hands , because relying on them losing would be like relying on Michael Jackson to complete his O2 tour.

[NickG]

Our GD advantage is evaporating by the game............

7 better as it stands

[trousers]

Play-offs for Saints it is then..... ;-)

[alpine_saint]

We won by 2 goals on Saturday and they won by 6.

Idiot

[alpine_saint]

7 better as it stands

Thankyou. I can subtract 25 from 32 as well...

[sfc4prem]

My bet on P'boro to get 1st still going strong I see. Playoffs for us maybe? I hope not.

[bender]

Posh have MK Dons away on Monday who are a millions times better than crap Sheff Wed. If they don't win and we beat Sheff Wed on Sat then beat Charlton on Tuesday, then were above them with a game in hand.

[NickG]

4 points behind - 2 games in hand and better goal difference in our favour - no need to give up on 2nd just yet!

[adriansfc]

And while I say good for them, I don't include their manager in that. He's an ungracious, arrogant little C.

[Appy]

We played Bournemouth away.

They played Carlisle at home.

But yes the fact that their defence seems sorted really worries me.

[Jack]

I think we'll just about be ok if we win by 2 every game

[NickG]

Thankyou. I can subtract 25 from 32 as well...

wasn't sure.

[Saint Without a Halo]

After all teams seeming to throw away points left and right all season we now have a number of teams on hot form in Posh, Brighton, MK Dons and Orient
We need to maintain a long winning streak to keep our current mathematical advantage for 2nd place. We have not managed to do that all season so now is a good time to change that!

[alpine_saint]

wasn't sure.

You really are a smug arrogant little ar*e sometimes.

[dune]

FFS, other results aren't going our way. ADKINS OUT.

[beatlesaint]

Posh have MK Dons away on Monday who are a millions times better than crap Sheff Wed. If they don't win and we beat Sheff Wed on Sat then beat Charlton on Tuesday, then were above them with a game in hand.

They still have to go to Huddersfield and Orient too....as well as entertain Bournemouth.

[Appy]

You really are a smug arrogant little ar*e sometimes.

It must be horrible to be 1 of those.

[adriansfc]

One team at a time. Bournemouth are out of it IMO. Huddersfield had a blow with injuries and I can see their results slipping. A straight fight between us and pboro is a great improvement on the table a week or so ago. Certainly after Walsall.

[dune]

my saintsplayer isn't working. ADKINS OUT.

[doddisalegend]

Peterborough will tonk Sheff Wed.


I think Brentford and Huddersfield will draw.

25K at Hillsborough? LOL

Average gate at wednesday this season 18,364 (saints is 21,615)

I see posh are giving the owls a tonking. Imagaine if posh had sorted their defence out earlier in the season they'd probably be promoted already they can't stop ****ing scoring the ******s they've hit form and just the wrong time for us.

[Appy]

Lots of ifs there. Another if is posh go on a scorching winning streak (not unlikely the way there now playing) and we lose a couple of games (which could happen)....................

[Lallana's Left Peg]

While we'd all like to think Posh won't sustain the form they've recently had, I'm not getting worried about them tonking Sheffield Wednesday 3-0 at HT. I'd obviously prefer it if they didn't, but since the start of February they have conceded on average twice in every game, including shipping four at home recently against Plymouth.

Peterborough winning, in whatever manner, is not a season breaker tonight. And in fact as I mentioned before it bodes well for Saints at the weekend.

Kind of reminds you of another big team in league 1 from down south................ I'm sure next season they'll be heading back up at least they'll likely have sheff utd to keep'em company and give them some derby games.

remember we beat Posh 5-1 earlier in the season - they are going to be out to batter us - and they probably will.

Still think it will be to much for them to many games in hand, all those extra games are going to catch up with them I reckon.

[doddisalegend]

Us?

We were never doing as badly as them.

Didn't we spend two months rooted to the foot of league 1 last season? I don't think wednesday have done that. In both cases it's given fans of other clubs plenty of laughs at our expense.

Mackail-Smith out.

[Turkish]

They have the points in the bag, and are scoring for fun.

They are in the driving seat.

For anyone that thinks they aren't they have won 7 and drawn one of their last eight, tonight look nailed on to make it 8 wins from 9, scored 23 so far and conceded just 3. Phemonemal form.

[S-Clarke]

Wednesday 1 - 3 Posh

[Saint Without a Halo]

current form table before today shows the hot streaks by Posh, Orient Dons and Brighton all have pulled away from us in the last 6 games by at least 2 points

Club Pld W D L F A GD Pts
1 Peterborough 6 5 1 0 18 2 16 16
2 Leyton Orient 6 5 1 0 14 5 9 16
3 Milton Keynes 6 5 1 0 11 2 9 16
4 Brighton 6 5 0 1 12 4 8 15

6 Huddersfield 6 3 3 0 8 5 3 12
11 Bournemouth 6 2 2 2 7 7 0 8


In the last 6 games we have only made up points on Bompey and Huddersfield
Shows how important away Walsall actually was!

[Dazza82]

wednesday comeback lol

[Saint Without a Halo]

Wednesday 1 - 3 Posh

comeback on? I wish!

[Appy]

Wednesday 1 - 3 Posh

Posh's goal difference is taking a battering.

[alpine_saint]

wednesday comeback lol

Its one goal and Posh have probably taken the foot off the gas, FFS.

This game is over already. Posh arent Saints.

[Kingsbridge Saint]

We need to win the next three to get Walsall out of our heads. If we hadn't won the last 3 we would be dead in the water now. Might have to win every game beteween now and the end of the season in fact as I can see Posh doing that.

[Appy]

If Posh aren't Saints, does this mean you actually listen to their games?

[NickG]

lol!

[scott_saints]

On the plus side, I fancy us in the playoffs against anyone BUT Peteborough.

[alpine_saint]

On the plus side, I fancy us in the playoffs against anyone BUT Peteborough.

See what you mean. I would fancy us in the playoffs if the current table were the final table. I reckon the current MK Dons and Huddersfield would knacker the crap out of each other, and Bournemouth should hold any fear for us seeing how we've beaten them 3 times this season already.

[NickG]

cross, corner and offside for Sheff since the goal - clearly going for it!

(strange this following a game by text updates!)

[Saint Without a Halo]

On the plus side, I fancy us in the playoffs against anyone BUT Peteborough.

Agreed but Orient may prove a handful if they keep their run going!

[Appy]

All very quiet from Griffin Park with all this talk of Posh.

[benjii]

There's no point worrying about other results at the moment. It is still in our hands.

If Posh finish second we will win the play-offs anyway so it doesn't matter.

[Saint Without a Halo]

All very quiet from Griffin Park with all this talk of Posh.

Huddersfield not really a threat on current form
for them 8 goals against 5 over their last 6 games!

[SimonC]

Agreed but Orient may prove a handful if they keep their run going!

Would they still have the loanees though? - got a few of them..

[Appy]

Huddersfield not really a threat on current form

Cue a flurry of goals from them ;)

[Saint Without a Halo]

We still have to play 7 of the top 11 on last 6 games current form
However that will probably suit us as our dropped points are usually against the teams at the bottom of the table!

[dune]

My saintsplayer isn't working so can some people post stuff so I can build up an authoritative opinion on proceedings.

Thanks.

[Saint Without a Halo]

Guess it depends on how long the loans are for!

[dubai_phil]

OK so what are all the scores?

Sheff Weds aren't safe yet, Megson really is a terrible manager. Them to beat us 0-3 at the weekend then?

[dune]

Peterborough are still winning 3-1. ADKINS OUT.

[Leicestersaint]

Sheffield Wednesday must be pretty awful- surely we will get 3 points on Saturday?

[Appy]

I hope i don't look at this post with a very sad face on Saturday night.

[SO16_Saint]

Not the worst of scores, so far

[alpine_saint]

Ffs.

[dune]

4-1 now.

[NickG]

Hudds score is one to watch now...

[beatlesaint]

Hudds score is one to watch now...

altho I'm kinda hoping for Hartlepool to equalise....

[SO16_Saint]

4-1 now.

Posh aren't going to slip up, not against teams like Wednesday.

It's next Monday where they're likely to, Vs MKD.

[Right sider]

H'field just scored 1-0

[S-Clarke]

Oh no ffs

what a **** night.

[LVSaint]

...and there it is. FFS!

[NickG]

altho I'm kinda hoping for Hartlepool to equalise....

if we have to worry about Orient then feel we would have dropped so many points that we will be out of it already.


**** Hudds scored

[teamsaint]

hudds score

[beatlesaint]

H'field just scored 1-0

Oh FFS, wont one of these teams stop bloody winning !

[Saint Without a Halo]

that will be 19 out of the last 21 points for Orient and Posh! Some form to contend with

[S-Clarke]

90+3 mins ffs!!!!!

[Saints foreva]

League One for another season, I really do not think we will win all our games in hand.

[itchen_dan]

Hudds score is one to watch now...

You muppet!

Brentford 0-1 Hudders

[NickG]

oh well, win games in hand and will be 2nd - as before.

[jamesfp1]

He be back friday or Saturday out of Hibernation for sure if SW beat us Saturday Mr Tartenowl

[Right sider]

[Saint Without a Halo]

Hudds goal was on 90 mins too!

[S-Clarke]

League One for another season, I really do not think we will win all our games in hand.

Let's not be too down ffs.

It's not like we've lost.....they will not win every single remaining game.

[NickG]

You muppet!

Brentford 0-1 Hudders

take full responsibility. However, from the new found way of judging games (watching text updates on internet) I could see that goal coming!

How do people follow games like this??

[NickG]

Hudds goal was on 90 mins too!

92!

[bender]

f**king Huddersfield c*nts

[Saint Without a Halo]

Trust us not to play when all around us are winning!hope our games in hand go better than Walsall!

[woodsaint]

Let's not be too down ffs.

It's not like we've lost.....they will not win every single remaining game.

Well the way their going about things they just might ffs

[beatlesaint]

League One for another season, I really do not think we will win all our games in hand.

we dont have to......just win 2 of the 3 over Huddersfield and 4 points out of the 2 over Peterbro........hey I'm trying to be optimistic !!

[Saint137]

We are pretty much guaranteed a playoff spot, no need to panic. We will walk the playoffs, and I fancy another trip to Wembley (would prefer to go up automatically obviously)

[S-Clarke]

Well the way their going about things they just might ffs

I very much doubt it.

[Asaint4ever]

Play offs for us it is. We ain't even performing! NA out!

[SimonC]

92!

Bet you can think how us Bmth fans feel too?? how the hell can everyone keep winning?? this is a joke! 7th place is calling us boo hoo LOL

[S-Clarke]

No wembley trip unfort.

Playoffs are at Old Trafford

[bender]

What the hell is wrong with this league. At 5pm on Saturday Huddersfield will have played four games more than us. Why the f*ck are we not playing tonight !!

[Appy]

The form all of the teams are showing i can't see it being settled for a very long time yet.

[LGTL]

This as getting as bad as Saints losing now...pull it together lads, as Adkins says, "control the controllables"...

[Saint Without a Halo]

Let's not be too down ffs.

It's not like we've lost.....they will not win every single remaining game.
6 wins and a draw from 7 for posh means I for one am not prepared to bet against it!

[Hatch]

What the hell is wrong with league. At 5pm on Saturday Huddersfield will have played four games more than us



Nothing compared to League 2, a few weeks back Burton had about 8 or 9 games in hand on every one else around them.

[fanimal]

That Orient game is looking more tasty every game now!!

[Griffo]

****.

[OttawaSaint]

You have to LOL. There will be plenty of ups and downs between now and the end of the season. Hopefully we end up with a auto promotion spot.

[Kingsland Red]

Strange being a Saints supporter these days.
Both Saints and our main adversaries winning week in week out.
Hard to get used to, after years of backs to the wall struggling against the drop with points being dropped all over the place.

[woodsaint]

We are more than likely going to go into saturdays game vs wednesday 8 points adrift of 2nd place. Ok we will have 4 games in hand but still alot of points to make up

[farawaysaint]

Christ, what the hell is wrong with this league? Every bloody team in the top 6 looks to be trying to top 90 points.

[LGTL]

It could well come down to the last day at this rate!

[DrunkenSaint]

We are pretty much guaranteed a playoff spot, no need to panic. We will walk the playoffs, and I fancy another trip to Wembley (would prefer to go up automatically obviously)

Never say that! for me its automatic promo or another season in league1 the games in hand are building up and we'll be playing too many game close together soon, i have a feeling we wont do alot in the playoffs, hope im wrong but its that feeling i had when we were in the play offs a few years back.

[S-Clarke]

It could well come down to the last day at this rate!

And the last day fixtures are as irritating.

Saturday, 7 May 2011
Bournemouth (http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/b/bournemouth/default.stm) v Rochdale (http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/r/rochdale/default.stm), 15:00

Peterborough (http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/p/peterborough_united/default.stm) v Dag & Red (http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/d/dagenham_and_redbridge/default.stm), 15:00

We have to be 2nd going into the last day, otherwise it's playoffs for sure.

[Saint_Ash]

poo

[Mattio]

any other season I bet we'd be challenging for top spot!

[CB Fry]

any other season I bet we'd be challenging for top spot!


We wouldn't be anywhere near.

Top spot pretty much always goes to a team on two points per game. We've been nowhere near that, and apart from Brighton, no-one has. Last season Leeds, Norwich and Millwall were challenging for top spot. This season it's a one horse race with four clubs battling out for second, all of which have had slumps or periods of inconsistency.

[up and away]

League One for another season, I really do not think we will win all our games in hand.

It's not the games in hand we have to worry about in itself. It's the fact we will have to play 9 games in a month and the others only 7 or 6. That volume of games in such a short space of time will cost us points. We just have to hope others have problems rather than this continual winning.

[St Marco]

It is all well and good saying win our games in hand etc.. the problem is you actually have to win them. When we played our recent game in hand vs Walsall it didn't quite go so easy did it?

Personally i think we will know our fate in the next 5 games. On paper we have a far harder run in then Huddersfield.

7 of our 11 remaining games are against teams in the top 12. 4 of those 7 being away games.

Of Huddersfields 9 games left they have 4 games left against teams in the top 12. Of those 3 are away. The rest against mostly relegation teams.

It is going to be really difficult and we have no more space to have a bad patch now. If we lose a game and they win we HAVE to win our games in hand just to get back on par with them. So really now each game puts pressure on us to win. Anymore **** ups and i think we can forget the top 2. And by **** ups i mean no more losing to the teams near the bottom i.e Walsall, if we want to get into the top 2 we realisticly have to win probably 7/8 of the 11 remaining games.

[Windmill Arm 2]

At the end of the day.....it gets dark.

[Born In The 80s]

We are pretty much guaranteed a playoff spot, no need to panic. We will walk the playoffs, and I fancy another trip to Wembley (would prefer to go up automatically obviously)

Don't be a div! When have we walked anything?! We're Southampton. If we were in the Zamaretto South-West Division we'd still do our best to **** it up. That will never change, and the arrogance of some fans never failed to amaze me. Play offs this season will be more of a lottery than anyother season as EVERYONE seems to be playing so well. MK Dons and Leyton Orient are 2 teams who are making worryingly good runs late in the day...

[sfc4prem]

I want us to win at least 10 games from now on. No losses.

[hoozonside10]

At least Peterborough still have to go to Huddersfield, someone has to drop points there, although knowing our luck they'll both win it!!!

[benjii]

The form all of the teams are showing i can't see it being settled for a very long time yet.

This is the most annoying thing about the games in hand issue. Even if we win all our remaining games this season we will not be promoted until near the very end of the season due to playing catch-up the whole time.

On the plus side, I think we will win the play-offs, if we are in them, and I can also categorically guarantee that Huddersfield and Peterborough will not both win all their remaining games.

[benjii]

It's not a "lottery" at all. I have no idea why people say this. We will probably be playing teams inferior to us and will probably win.

We have 12 games left. Six at home. We should expect to win all home games. Winning 9 or 10 of our matches is not an unrealistic expectation.

Also, the Plymouth postponement could work out to be a good thing as they may well be relegated by the time the match comes round.
