Not sure what will happen with signings but it would have been totally inappropriate for a club to be in mourning and unable to play a game, but the chairman - who was particularly close to Markus - be working hard and announcing that we will be stronger when we do play MK.

might see how few more games go, maybe have a chance to salvage something

will they do refunds on my season ticket if we lose or draw as season effectively over?

who's happy? I was gutted last Saturday as wanted to take this league by storm. Just think "must win" is a crap term and means nothing in this case.

all about opinions, I think that is wrong, unnecessarily slagging player off and not giving him a chance, but its up to you!

opinion, but was a lot better imho. Was probably our best player in Reading game, not seen anything to justify a saints fans slagging him off but guess thats par for the course on here

was better than Harding at LB in Plymouth game.

I think you support saints. I think your dodgy LB comment sums up the cracking support on here.

sometimes wonder if some on here do!

yes - waiting for 8 games left us 1 win away from automatic (or would have done but for penalty) so a slow start like that could cost us - but we hardly would be out of it after 2 games, just as it wouldn't have been in the bag if we won first two games. They never used to show league tables until something like 6 games in.

so will agree, if we haven't won in first 7 we can have a "must win" thread for the 8th game!

Exactly my point. Put those points deducted back on to last season's total and we would, indeed, have finished 5th and would have been going into the play offs (as the form team and maybe favourites!). We would have only been 3 points, and with better goal difference, behind Leeds. BUT that was waiting until the 8th game for the first win - totally proves that even if we have to wait until the 3rd game for a win rather than Orient, automatic promotion is clearly achievable. As we would only have been one win short last season - maybe, if we haven't won by then, our 7th game is the must win one! Will be surprised and disappointed if we don't win though, but to say it is a must win is just silly.

that and starting on minus points, if after 7 games we are 24 points behind the promotion position like last season, then I think we will miss out again.

sounds like a spat between 5 year olds - south coast team??? god we miss those two lines they would be writing about us! Do you think they would do a special edition JPT edition to make loads of money again?

if its must win - what happens if we don't?

after 3 games last season, Norwich winners with 95 points had 1 point. I know they changed their manager but shows there is loads to go. we got about 2 points per game last season - we would have 44 games left, so could still be looking at 88 points - more than leeds went up with. will increase pressure but we would not be adrift.

to be fair we are 5th from bottom!

6th from bottom

just had a cross - come on Antonio!

perhaps we should close this thread - I keep visiting it when see new posts thinking it may have gone wrong! When it looks like they have completely got away with it all.

didn't he win the end of season "fan in the crowd" thing for the player shirt once?

Sour - No I don't. Dune - behave.

thought he supported Arsenal?

....

can't be bothered mate, have my views on the moaning but not in mood for arguing about it.
