Perhaps biased is not the correct to get meaningful statistical results you need to have figures over as long a time as possible For instance over the last ten years The Points needed to reach 6th place is 76 08/09 76 07/08 75 06/07 71 05/06 71 04/05 73 03/04 81 02/03 78 01/02 75 00/01 82 99/00 AVG 75.8 where as over five years is less. Also there is no analysis of how other clubs are doing and based on the season so far what the likely points figure for 6th position is

I am very happy with the results over the last couple of months, I am not happy with the statisticall analysis which I feel is biased. Of course I would like to see us get to the play offs but we are further away from them now than we were at the beginning of the season

Well you learn something every day thank you

Nothing to do with him it is the FA and presentations are this week

I totally agree with you but I thought this thread was about getting in loans before the window closes tonight. I cant see the point of that as it is unlikely that many decent players will be available but yes in the Window I would expect us to get in players.

I dont disagree with but football injuries and suspensions disrupt teams. Well managed teams overcome problems better than others. Getting Loan players to cover injuries is mostly a lottery really

Like most other teams perhaps?

That is ridiculous - he should plan for injuries that is the point of a squad. For goodness sake we are only in League 1 and have a large staff compared with other teams

Unlikely but after the 3 1 Victory it still could happen but we want teams like these to lose or draw as many games as possible Huddersfield MK Dons Swindon Bristol Rovers Walsall Millwall

I dont disagree with what you are saying but to succeed we must beat the top teams which we have yet to do regularly for a number of reasons.

Yes but I thought he was a non playing member of the playing staff:confused:

Just concerned a little that we dont seem to beat the teams at the top of League which Nick Gs stats never seem to take into account

I agree we are a good team but we have not beaten many clubs in the top 10 which is the only worrying point for me 1 Leeds United 17 25 42 2 Charlton 18 15 36 3 Colchester 18 15 33 4 Norwich 18 13 32 5 Huddersfield 18 19 30 6 MK Dons 18 -1 29 7 Swindon 17 1 28 8 Bristol Rovers 18 -3 28 9 Walsall 18 4 27 10 Millwall 18 8 26 Let hope we can beat Walsall

It would be good if Davis never played for us again if Bart proved to be a n outstanding goalkeeper during the next few weeks. Relatively easy games against Northampton and Wycombe coming up for Bart to gain confidence

In the period up to January I think we are OK for CBs but I think we should buy a good one then. However there is no real backup for Lambert in the short term and there would have been a problem if instead of Davis he had been injured

Best Win of the season I think although the first one was not bad either

Eric?

Lambert must be one of the best buys Saints have made in ages

Fairly confident tonight that we will win

Charlton 3-2 Bristol Rovers L Colchester 2-0 Stockport L Exeter 0-1 Millwall L Gillingham 1-0 Yeovil L Hartlepool 1-2 Southampton L Leeds United 0-0 Leyton Orient L MK Dons 3-4 Carlisle L Norwich 3-1 Brighton L Swindon 2-1 Huddersfield L Tranmere 2-0 Southend L Walsall 2-0 Oldham L Wycombe 1-0 Brentford L

Never thought I would be worried about Saints not beating Hartlepool how times have changed

Thanks I still think Grant has got more chance than Burley

The BBC Website thinks otherwise http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/p/portsmouth/8377374.stm

James surely is a better crosser of the ball and will work with Murty

Good Team with Options for Substitutes
