david in sweden Posted 2 April, 2011 Share Posted 2 April, 2011 interestingly, Saints have scored more AWAY goals (32) ...than any other side in L1..and from only 18 games. We're now balanced with 18 games both home and away. In comparison the 33 we have scored at SMS, pales into insignificance when compared to some other sides lower in the table. Other promotion contenders have been much more productive at home. Already almost certain of promotion ..Brighton have managed 45, Bournemouth 43, whilst Peterboroughs 60 home goals looks like terrifyingly big tally. As an old fan who grew up with games at the Dell, where we used to say the crowd support was "worth a one goal start", it's sad that we haven't netted a bit more often at home. Let's hope we can get a few more on-target for the rest of the season. with 3 games in hand on the other promotion contenders, it's all up to us now .

Barry the Badger Posted 2 April, 2011 Share Posted 2 April, 2011 Many teams come to St Mary's with one thing and one thing only on their mind, a clean sheet. This makes it extremely tough for us sometimes. Ultimately I will take a dire 1-0 win today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint_clark Posted 2 April, 2011 Share Posted 2 April, 2011 I hate to say it again, but the poor start to the season and the patch under Wilkins saw a quite a few poor results for us at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deppo Posted 2 April, 2011 Share Posted 2 April, 2011 I think that if we can we can score more goals we can win more games and that means we have a greater chance of going up. That's just my opinion though, others may disagree - so basically I am with David on this one, let's have more goals please! Hopefully some of the players will read this and score some more.

Deppo Posted 10 April, 2011 Share Posted 10 April, 2011 We now have 38 goals from 20 homes games and 34 goals from 19 away games. This is better than before when St David rightly highlighted the issue, so well done lads. It certainly looks like some of the players have been reading the forum.

Golden Balls Posted 10 April, 2011 Share Posted 10 April, 2011 Helps that a lot of the away goals have come in a few game. 0-6 Oldham, 4-4 with posh, 0-4 Bristol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deppo Posted 10 April, 2011 Share Posted 10 April, 2011 Yes, good point. A lot of away goals have come in a just a few games meaning that we're not scoring as many away as some may think and are, in fact, better at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david in sweden Posted 10 April, 2011 Author Share Posted 10 April, 2011 Yes, good point. A lot of away goals have come in a just a few games meaning that we're not scoring as many away as some may think and are, in fact, better at home. looking at it another way. We have failed to score in SIX home games. 3 defeats and 3 goalless draws. BUT likewise failed to score in SIX away games 5 defeats and one 0-0 draw. Apart from those away games mentioned, we obviously scored more regularly at home having scored 2 or more on 11 occasions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deppo Posted 10 April, 2011 Share Posted 10 April, 2011 So that shows how strong we are at home then - if the 6 scoreless attempts at home have led to 3 points, but at the same time, 6 scoreless attempts away fromhome has only gained 1 point.
