whelk Posted 9 March, 2013 Share Posted 9 March, 2013 Redknapp would settle for 37pts and take his chances What say you? I expect a slagging for being defeatist although only posing the question. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/21716547 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kraken Posted 9 March, 2013 Share Posted 9 March, 2013 That would be 10 points from our remaining 10 games (a better average than we have for the season to date). So, yes. It would mean a slight upturn in form. Looking at our final 10 fixtures I'm actually struggling to see where the 10 points come from. Today's game is absolutely massive.

raucebysaint Posted 9 March, 2013 Share Posted 9 March, 2013 Definately would take 37 points now.. That would mean others around us need 38 because of our goal difference. Unfortunately i agree i can't see where 10 are coming from, a win today could make could make up for last weeks mess! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenridge Posted 9 March, 2013 Share Posted 9 March, 2013 As mentioned 37 points would be a good return from our remaining fixtures. It's going to be tight, very tight. Slightly off tangent but I see old Bagpuss is already trying to distance himself from the financial concerns at QPR. It's never his fault. http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11711/8551355/QPR-will-not-face-financial-issues-if-they-go-down-says-Harry-Redknapp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VectisSaint Posted 9 March, 2013 Share Posted 9 March, 2013 I would take 38. I wouldn't want to rely on GD to be above QPR if they got 17 points from their last 10 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewy Posted 9 March, 2013 Share Posted 9 March, 2013 No matter how many times I do the bbc predictor, the bottom 3 never get more than 35 points, so yes I would take 37. Should add I've never had saints in the bottom 3 either - some of the others have some nasty games left! Biggest games for us are west brom, reading, stoke and west ham. Add in a sneaky point at maybe Sunderland, Swansea or Norwich and possibly against Liverpool and we will be fine. Today is not 'must win' but would be nice to get some breathing space.

Scudamore Posted 9 March, 2013 Share Posted 9 March, 2013 That would be 10 points from our remaining 10 games (a better average than we have for the season to date). So, yes. It would mean a slight upturn in form. Looking at our final 10 fixtures I'm actually struggling to see where the 10 points come from. Today's game is absolutely massive. And yet strangely we took exactly ten points from our last ten games. The points will come...some from unexpected sources no doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Boy Saint Posted 9 March, 2013 Share Posted 9 March, 2013 I think 10pts + is possible, I also think that last weekends result against QPR will serve as a kick up the backside. Our performance was almost like we walked onto the pitch expecting to win with ease, as so many commentators have blown sunshine up our backsides regarding the way we have been playing of late.

Bucks Saint Posted 9 March, 2013 Share Posted 9 March, 2013 (edited) Too tight to be sure. 40 please. No idea where we will get these from, but that's what we need to aim for IMO Edited 9 March, 2013 by Bucks Saint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manuel Posted 9 March, 2013 Share Posted 9 March, 2013 I wouldn't want him managing my team if he's happy to 'take' an amount of points which may not get the team safe. An idiotic statement. Fourth from bottom is the goal, whatever points that may mean and he should be focusing on that. Personally I think Saints will do better than that.

Black Sea Saint Posted 9 March, 2013 Share Posted 9 March, 2013 I don't think we'll get anywhere near 37 points, although I'm hoped to be proved wrong. I predicted 33 just after Adkins was sacked, and nothing has changed that yet - I had us beating QPR but losing to Man City. so there you go.

Minsk Posted 9 March, 2013 Share Posted 9 March, 2013 Yes. Did the predictor and had us just staying up on 36. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The9 Posted 9 March, 2013 Share Posted 9 March, 2013 I just did the predictor, only had us winning 2 more games (one at Reading and home to West Ham) and we still stayed up on 38 pts, 3 clear of QPR (Wigan were below us but with a game in hand as it hasn't been arranged yet) and the entire bottom half had no more than 41 each. I had Reading down by about 14 points, with Villa about 5 ahead of them ! There's one tremendous weekend coming up in April where all our relegation rivals are playing something like the top 4, and Wigan v Villa on the last day looks... "interesting", though Villa will be long gone by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToreSF Posted 9 March, 2013 Share Posted 9 March, 2013 I think we will loose against Liverpool, Chelsea, Swansea and Spurs, draw against Sunderland and West Brom, and beat Reading, West Ham and Stoke. 39 points. Hopefully thats enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sotonian Posted 10 March, 2013 Share Posted 10 March, 2013 no matter how many times i try this http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/predictor/default.stm I still get 3rd from bottom only getting 32 points, so many teams have to play each other we will be well safe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supersonic Posted 10 March, 2013 Share Posted 10 March, 2013 I've just posted it on the other forum, I think 36 points with out GD (as long as we don't get smashed) will keep us up. 2 wins and 2 draws Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cabrone Posted 10 March, 2013 Share Posted 10 March, 2013 37 points? No, I want 40 and I think we could get them if we play as well as I know we can - whether we do or not is a different matter though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lighthouse Posted 30 March, 2013 Share Posted 30 March, 2013 Today's points took us above the 32 points we achieved last time out in the Prem. Back then 34 points and a GD of -25 kept West Brom up. All fairly trivial really, you will need a bit more than 34 this year. With Wigan and Villa suddenly turning up I think 37/38 will be around the cut off.

SNSUN Posted 30 March, 2013 Share Posted 30 March, 2013 Today's points took us above the 32 points we achieved last time out in the Prem. Back then 34 points and a GD of -25 kept West Brom up. All fairly trivial really, you will need a bit more than 34 this year. With Wigan and Villa suddenly turning up I think 37/38 will be around the cut off. I think it'll be a little more. Excluding Reading and QPR, who I personally think are down, you have one relegation space for, I'd say, nine teams. (i.e. Anyone from Fulham downwards) Of those nine teams, you have those with a bit of form (Us, Wigan, Villa) and you could probably rule out Fulham and, after today, West Ham. That leaves Newcastle, Norwich, Stoke and Sunderland as the teams out of form. It's because the likes of Wigan and Villa are picking up wins, that more sides above are being dragged into the relegation battle. It's a terrible time for one of those teams to be out of form. Newcastle have the players to drag themselves out of it, and Stoke have the talent to fight to win or draw games too. So really it's Norwich and Sunderland that need to watch their backs, pending a continued improvement in form of Wigan and Villa. Even our form could dip, but I don't see it. I still see 40 points as the safety mark, and won't even start relaxing until we're there. Our next two games are immensely winnable. Six points from those and everything else for the rest of the season is playing for places up the league table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Wigan and Villa suddenly turning up I think 37/38 will be around the cut off. My view too as there are 8 teams who could fill the third slot and one of them is bound to do badly over the last 7 or 8 games and collect no more than 4 points! 38 should therefore be sufficient.

supersonic Posted 31 March, 2013 Share Posted 31 March, 2013 Win next week and I think we can relax. to be fair, as long as we can avoid defeat we'll be fine. We'll beat Stoke and West Ham at home and draw v Reading = 41 points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
