alki_in_korea Posted 2 April, 2010 Share Posted 2 April, 2010 Look at the run in huddersfield n colchester have. WE CAN STILL DO THIS. Granted we need to win nearly every game but i would rather have our run in than theirs. it wont be easy but we've come along way n it aint over yet.

Matthew Le God Posted 2 April, 2010 Share Posted 2 April, 2010 i would rather have our run in than theirs. I'd rather have the points and a hard run in, compared to being 11 points behind, having a game in hand and have an "easy" run in. Not ruling it out, but Colchester, Charlton and Huddersfield are certainly in the better position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveygwyatt Posted 2 April, 2010 Share Posted 2 April, 2010 I'm probably too optomistic.. But even I have excepted it ain't gonna happen this season..

saintfully Posted 2 April, 2010 Share Posted 2 April, 2010 Im convinced we'll be within 3 pts when we start our last match... whether we actually make it is another thing altogether. Top season so far though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Who? Posted 2 April, 2010 Share Posted 2 April, 2010 You better believe that it is still on. Colchester are on a terrible run, and even though we are not setting the league on fire. Only a few games ago (I think 4) we were 16 points behind with no games in hand. Now we are 11 behind with 1 game in hand. Of course we still need to make up this gap, but I really do think we will still sneak in even with a loss and a drawI think I am being kind to Colchester as they are terrible. I have us getting in by goal difference, but we will see. We are lucky to still be just about in it with other teams slipping up, but as long as the gap does not get wider again we are still in with a shout until there are not enough points. COYR!!!

bender Posted 2 April, 2010 Share Posted 2 April, 2010 Results seem to keep going our way. If Huddersflid lose tomorrow then yesterdays point was 1 gained rather than 2 lost. But weve still got to learn to win away at this difficult places which I cant see us doing. That said we have 3 aways games to go and 5 home games.

Arizona Posted 2 April, 2010 Share Posted 2 April, 2010 Sorry, but anyone who thinks we can make up 11 points in 8 games seriously needs their head looking at.

ludgershallsaint Posted 2 April, 2010 Share Posted 2 April, 2010 I can accept that we may not go up as winning 8 on the spin against any opposition is an extremely long shot. However, anyone can see that 78 points with the best GD will be enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthamSteve Posted 2 April, 2010 Share Posted 2 April, 2010 Everyone seems to be forgetting that we actually need to win 11 games on the spin to go up. - Including the 2 legs in the play offs, so the equation may change slightly. Hudderfield worry me, if we lose out it will be to them IMO. Assuming, of course, that we win 8 games first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hudderfield worry me, if we lose out it will be to them IMO. Assuming, of course, that we win 8 games first. You just have to win *over* two legs, though. If we get that far, we'll be on such a run that I'd back us against anyone at that stage. There's no point worrying about anyone else at this stage, since the slim chance we have almost certainly rests on us having to win all our remaining games.

hamster Posted 2 April, 2010 Share Posted 2 April, 2010 Charlton are the only team above us who we are still ro play (+10 points), and that's at home so although I would be happy with the JPT and a decent run-in I don't think it's over just yet. A win on Monday other results going our way would put us right in the mix again imho although tbf we haven't actually been 'in the mix' at all so far, I do think that we could worry those above us if we could just stop losing points against the odds.

Littlelat17 Posted 2 April, 2010 Share Posted 2 April, 2010 Just when you think its all over, things happen and change your mind.. Ive been through far too many relegation battles when staying up looked impossible and we've stayed up to never write us off.. So while its still mathematically possibly, you have to believe, the manager, the players, and us the fans... yes of course its going to be a long shot and it will take something special, but football is a funny old game and anything can happen with belief. I think things will be alot clearer by 5pm next Saturday.. and if we are within 6/7 points by then, I wouldnt write us off sneaking in... Keep believing!

SaintJackoInHurworth Posted 2 April, 2010 Share Posted 2 April, 2010 I have already posted comments similar to many of those on this thread in the Brighton match thread, here: http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=21444&page=11#502. My view is that it is highly unlikely that we will do it, but by winning every game it MAY be possible. As I commented yesterday, a loss for Colchester today would be another step in the right direction and that is indeed what has happened. In fact, looking at my predictions from 2 weeks ago, I cannot see Colchester scoring more than 75 points this season. If anything I think they may get less than that. Consequently they are more than catchable. More tricky will be catching Huddersfield or Charlton. At present I have Huddersfield down to get 76 points and Charlton 78. If this is right we would need at the very least to win all but one of our remaining games, drawing the other one, but preferably we would need to win the lot. As, I said, it's highly unlikely, but at the same time, it is that which we need to try to roar the team on towards. Like they say 'It ain't over 'til the fat lady sings!'

Ludwig Posted 2 April, 2010 Share Posted 2 April, 2010 If we win every game, we will finish in the play-offs. However, we won't. It is not dead yet, however, the run-ins of Bristol Rovers, Colchester, Huddersfield and MK Dons are far more difficult than ours. Finishing outside of the play-offs is not yet a foregone conclusion, but consistency hasn't been our strength this season. We can do it, we ought to do it, but I don't think we shall. Hope, though, should not be lost. Though when we next drop points, hope will finally be extinguished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_Porter Posted 2 April, 2010 Share Posted 2 April, 2010 Winning 6 from 8 would be a good achievement, 7 from 8 would be amazing for any manager or team. 8 from 8 is never going to happen, not under this sort of pressure. Time to give in and just enjoy the season, yesterday was a good result from a pretty poor performance, if certain people on here weren't so hung up on our almost impossible chance at the play-offs they wouldn't get so uptight about results.

Kingsland Red Posted 2 April, 2010 Share Posted 2 April, 2010 Looking at the scores today the silly season has started, where teams in the top positions suddenly get the jitters and have their poor run.

Best team in the division, expected to win everything, go to somewhere like Tranmere and get stuffed! I can well imagine some of the comments on here if & when that happens.
