Its the best run I can remember and I've been following this club since the very early 80s. I think we had a great run at the end of 83/84 but it still wasn't as good as this one.
-
On behalf of a good friend of mine who is a Walsall fan and was very happy that we won at Plymouth (funnily enough) I'd be happy with a draw.
-
Sign a quality CB\CM\Striker, get our pre season right for once, continue our momentum and hit the ground running, aim for top 2. If we get 3 quality additions in these key areas I see no reason why we can't challenge right at the top. After all Norwich did it this season.
-
1. CMS 2. Andrew Davies 3. Neil Danns 4. George Boyd 5. BT???
-
3-1 Saints. Promotion tonight IMO. COYS.
-
Finally after a 44 game slog we can actually see that finishing line. I predict we'll be (effectively) up by the end of Monday and then we can get down to preps for the new season in the championship. Please nice Mr Cortese, can we get CMS? He'd be dynamite in the champ.
-
I think a fit and motivated BT would be an excellent 2 year signing for the championship as long as he was realistic on wage demands. However I wouldn't want BT (despite having very fond memories of his time here) if it meant that we didn't go for someone like CMS (who would be my no1 target).

- Great win in what was a tricky fixture. - We are now bang on form and 6 points are perfectly achievable. Auto promotion will happen. - Respect to Huddersfield, we've been flying yet they've been like a dog chewing at our leg for what seem like ages now. - Brighton should count themselves very lucky that we had our usual crap start.
-
I don't care what football shirt the people in the car were wearing, if you act like those thugs did then you deserve to be punished. They should not be allowed out in public until they learn how to behave like civilized human beings.
-
I think we'll beat Brentford and Hudders will get a draw at Brighton. Then we'll get (effectively) promoted by drawing at Plymouth. Then it's party time at St Mary's as we (and Hudders) win our last games.

The old Stamford Bridge was a dump. You were so far from the pitch that there was a car park between you and the players. What a soulless bowl. Elm park was crap - toilets were a wall painted with gloss paint, the away end at the City ground was a wind tunnel and Fratton smelt of wee. Best away end for me was Carrow road, it was long and steep and made for some superb surges that took you 10-15m down the terrace. No longer there thanks to good old health and safety.
-
Absolutely - the difference between us and BHA was our tediously predictable 'balls up' of a start. The title was lost in those first 7 games as the remaining 35 games have seen us neck and neck (assuming we win the next match). Next season please can we get the pre season right and actually hit the ground running for once!!
-
Hopefully a stung BHA will beat Huddersfield and we'd then only need 2 wins from 4 - we wouldn't even need to win any of the away games (assuming Hudders don't catch up on our GD). Come on Brighton!
-
Not particularly surprised as this is Saints, we always seem to win when no-one expects it + I really fancied a result at their place. Huddersfield fans must be distraught as I'm sure they would have pinned their hopes to a Saints loss. Now they must go there and hopefully a stung Brighton will beat them. Brilliant 3 points but we MUST follow it up now and get the job done. Would be typical Saints to beat Brighton and then lose to the likes of Walsall. Don't screw it up Saints!!!
-
At least we know what we need to do tomorrow - WIN. On another note, being as the Posh have now dropped out of top 2 but are all but guaranteed play offs they will have the next 3 weeks to conserve their players before those play offs. That makes it even more important to get top 2. I don't want a tired Saints facing a rejuvinated Posh team.
-
How about Andrew Davies? We all know how good he was at champ level and at 26 he's still got a lot left in the tank. Get him back to what he was last time he was here and he'd be a perfect partner for Fonte.
-
Being as we tend to do well in the big games I think we'll do OK on Sat. It's the 'easy 3 points' games against the lesser teams that make me nervous. I think we'll get at least a point and fingers crossed Hudders will lose. That would leave us needing 8 points from 4 games with 2 at home.
-
Forget about Brighton, let's just concentrate on our own performance. If Adam is back and we play to our full potential then I fancy at least a draw and quite possibly a win. It's just another 3 points up for grabs as far as I'm concerned.
-
Saints 1 V 0 Bristol Rovers,post match sighs of relief..
Cabrone replied to saint lard's topic in The Saints
Never a dull moment following this team eh (we've just assured the playoffs BTW). -
For a long time this season I thought we were a bit glass jawed but finally we look like we mean business. Not sure about the scoreline but I predict another determined 3 point performance.
-
If we got 12 points Huddersfield would need to win 4 out of 5 + not lose in the 5th as our superior GD should act as an extra point. Looking at their remaining fixtures I don't see them getting 13 points so 12 should do it for us. That means winning all our home games + Plymouth (a).
-
Can't decide between Lallana and Fonte. Both have been immense for us this season and thoroughly deserve to play at a higher level.
-
Over the first 7 games of the season Brighton: Won 4, drew 2, lost 1. Saints: Won 1, drew 2, lost 4. We've been neck and neck ever since. The difference between us is that we had our usual poor start and they had a good one. We must work on pre season and get our heads in the right place from day 1.
-
I'd agree with that. Thought that they would have slipped up by now and we would have caught them but all credit to them, they have been consistently mowing down the opposition week in week out. Just a shame we had such a terrible start. If we'd have started winning from August rather than the end of September then we'd be vying with them for the title now. How many points have we stupidly squandered just by not being ready in time?? The club really needs to professionally prepare itself for next season.
