saints-cris Posted 26 April, 2011 Share Posted 26 April, 2011 Bit early I know, but its all I can think about! It could be a great day for us, or it could all turn on its head! A win here should see this 2 horse race over imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGTL Posted 26 April, 2011 Share Posted 26 April, 2011 Win this one and I think we'll be up. We'd only need to get 3 points from Plymouth and Walsall then, and that's assuming Hudds win both their games. Can't wait for it, London away games are always brilliant but this one even more so, and it's a terrace too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alpine_saint Posted 26 April, 2011 Share Posted 26 April, 2011 This is the last game I am worried about. But I am very worried about it. Brentford have been a thorn in our side before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobM Posted 26 April, 2011 Share Posted 26 April, 2011 I think Brentford will be OK, it's Plymouth I'm worried about. They are desperate for survival and it's only 48-hours after being away at Brentford, so we will spend all our time travelling rather than preparing. Brentford should be 3-points as far as I'm concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BotleySaint Posted 26 April, 2011 Share Posted 26 April, 2011 Seen Brentford twice this season. We handed them the game at St Mary's - but at Wembley in the JPT final they were very poor. Lots of big tall blokes, with no muscle. Easily panicked in defence. But they did have a semi-decent counter attack. Could be a tricky game for us.

Why bother, backing Brentford is just a waste of money anyway.Can't understand this penchabnt for gifting the bookies money so that you'll feel better (in theory) if we lose, you never do anyway.Nothing can alter the feeling that losing on a Saturday produces, not winning money from the bookies,not getting drunk, not a BJ (helps though)... nothing.

Brussels Saint Posted 26 April, 2011 Share Posted 26 April, 2011 This for me is the big one to finish it off. Win here and we get a free trip to Plymouth. Lose and we will likely have to beat Plymouth, which won't be easy. A win this Sat and its all over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minty Posted 26 April, 2011 Share Posted 26 April, 2011 Oh right, forgot the Royal Moneyspinner at the end of the week.

hughieslastminutegoal Posted 26 April, 2011 Share Posted 26 April, 2011 We'll get the job done this weekend.... and you can believe what I say.... Their defence has wobbled a bit lately, probably lack of concentration. Add a bit of narkiness on top, and given our injury woes its looking like the kind of game where there's a bit of a surprise. As we've looked a bit nervy lately, it being Brighton may relax us psychologically as well. I think Connolly may score and we'll come up with a win.

I'm absolutely LOVING the way things are at the moment! Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it's not making me nervous (as it is), but for me it's so exciting that we are on the verge of the best feeling we'll have had as saints fans for decades! In two weeks time we could be promoted!!! Yes PROMOTED. No relegation battle this season, no mid table nothingness, just for once we are SO close to something amazing!

Lighthouse Posted 26 April, 2011 Share Posted 26 April, 2011 I am confident about this one, Plymouth worries me more to be fair If Plymouth need a win, that could go in our favour.

Matthew Le God Posted 26 April, 2011 Share Posted 26 April, 2011 (edited) Plymouth's squad is also very thin. Last match they only had 5 subs, two of which were youth team players. Before Saints play them, they have a feisty Devon derby two days earlier against Exeter. Where as Saints have the luxury of squad rotation, like swapping 3 of the back 4 in the last game through choice in order to rest them.

Saint_clark Posted 26 April, 2011 Share Posted 26 April, 2011 A game that I reckon Southampton will sneak but I am looking forward to this one we can have a real say in who finishes second and would love to stop Southampton going up. I also expect thousands of ticketless Saints fans to be around the Brentford area also. The team hopefully will be Moore KOC Neilson Bush Wood Saunders Dave Reeves Weston Grabban Schulp I'm in the "lets beat/draw with Soton and play the kids against Huddersfield " camp , our season is over (has been since the JPT Final!!) , for some reason i can't see our players trying that hard away from home....(they'll make an effort at home as our fans will be on their backs) . We got scummers this week and udders next,so we could have a big shout in who takes second place, been thinking long and hard, i'll take a draw against soton, and an away win at udders, with a bit of luck they will bottle it last day of the season.
