November & December predictions


Dr Who?

Recommended Posts

After more sloppy research from the BBC, they seem to think we are going to get put back in our place. Now I looked at the BBC website for the fixtures. A mixed bag, but I do not see it being that tough!

 

Hull City v Southampton 1-1

Southampton v Leicester 3-0

Villa v Southampton 0-1

Southampton v Man City 1-1

Arsenal v Southampton 3-0

Southampton v Man U 2-0

Burnley v Southampton 0-2

Southampton v Everton 2-0

Crystal Palace v Southampton 1-2

 

I make us pretty much safe!

Nothing to fear. 24 points, 43 in total. On course for the title.

If we can stick to one defeat we'll have a good couple of months.

Would be happy with 11 points, going into the new year with 30. If we're serious about improving on last year then I think we's need at least 18, bit of a tall order. Would be surprised if we win 4 or more of those games, but we're about to see what this team is really made of

I would have taken that at the beginning of the season, but right now I would be disappointed--unless maybe we were in the League Cup Semi-final with a good draw.

I would agree with the results you have gone with, City Arsenal and Utds attack will really test our defence, personally dont really see us wining them games and I am sure we will drop some points vs a poor team, however unlike last season i think were draw them rather then lose them.

Against better sides we've created less and missed the vital chances. We are a lot better than the rest, so create a lot, and miss a lot, like yesterday. We have the potential to batter these sides but with the top ones when it's just one or two chances, I'm not convinced we're clinical enough to make it count. Exactly what happened at Liverpool and spurs.

 

That said, if we have mane, Rodriguez, tadic and pelle all available and on form this season, we'll trouble anyone.

 

Don't undervalue the defensive side. Only five goals against is extremely valuable.

Hull 2-1 Saints

Saints 2-1 Leicester

Villa 0-0 Saints

Saints 1-3 Man City

Arsenal 2-3 Saints

Saints 2-2 Man Utd

Burnley 2-1 Saints

Saints 3-1 Everton

Palace 2-0 Saints

 

11 points. Anything more than that would be an incredible achievement and would probably make us genuine top 6 contenders, hence why I'm anticipating a slight downturn in results. Still, 31 points would put us on course for a similar finish to last year. 8th is a waste of time, so unless we do well in November/december, it will be better to focus on the FA cup

So you think we'll beat Arsenal, draw with United but lose to Hull, Burnley and Palace. Ok.

Yes. Football's a funny old game, as we've seen this season. Hull are playing well at the moment. And I think we might be burnt out after the 3 games against United, City and Arsenal. Or should i expect maximum points as we are higher in the league than everyone else?

I'm going with a bit of the old Saints pessimism here, years of disappointment ingrained upon my psyche. I hope we do better than this, and that the bubble doesn't burst.

 

Hull City v Southampton 1-1

Southampton v Leicester 2-0

Villa v Southampton 1-1

Southampton v Man City 0-2

Arsenal v Southampton 2-1

Southampton v Man U 1-1

Burnley v Southampton 0-2

Southampton v Everton 0-0

Crystal Palace v Southampton 1-1

 

11 points, still pretty good and I thought I was being tight! 30 points, a decent platform for January.

These are level of results typically needed for 5th/6th, and with our start would still gave us ahead of whats needed over season so far;

hull City v Southampton D

Southampton v Leicester W

Villa v Southampton D

Southampton v Man City L

Arsenal v Southampton L

Southampton v Man U L

Burnley v Southampton W

Southampton v Everton L

Crystal Palace v Southampton D

Southampton v Chelsea L

 

 

So don't get too down if we do drop points

Liverpool 2-1 Southampton

Southampton 0-0 West Brom

West Ham 1-3 Southampton

Southampton 4-0 Newcastle

Swansea 0-1 Southampton

Southampton 2-1 QPR

Spurs 1-0 Sputhampton

Southampton 8-0 Sunderland

Southampton 1-0 Stoke

 

Who would have predicted this run of results 18 points out of the last 21 available. 6 wins in our last 7 games and only conceded 1 goal at home and 4 away. 2 of the away goals on the opening day.

You've just predicted 9 points from 10 games; that's relegation form. I'm really not sure what on earth you're saying about 5th or 6th. If we have those ten results we will not be 5th or 6th. 7th place is currently just 5 points behind us.

I'd bet any amount of money we won't lose to Hull Palace and Burnley. The latter being Championship standard at best.

I see Hull away a tough game..... £20 says draw you lose for Saints. I am a betting man, but will be very happy to give you £20 next Saturday.

wow there is some pessimism on here.

 

We got 18 points from the corresponding 9 fixtures last year (Substituting Fulham and Cardiff for Leicester and Burnley respectively) . We should be aiming at getting at least the same seeing as we have a better squad now.

 

we have away wins against the teams sitting in 4th and 6th so we obviously can handle other form teams.

well according to the predictor league I have the following.

 

Hull City v Southampton 1-3

Southampton v Leicester 3-0

Villa v Southampton 1-2

Southampton v Man City 2-1

Arsenal v Southampton 1-1

Southampton v Man U 2-0

Burnley v Southampton 1-2

Southampton v Everton 3-1

Crystal Palace v Southampton 1-2

 

so it looks like we will only drop a couple of points at the Arse

 

I am not a happy clappy but a realist really.

9 points from 10 is "the level of results needed for 5th/6th"?

 

Crystal Palace and Leicester fans will be delighted - they've got 9 from 9 so will be planning next year's Europa League away days already.

 

NickG, your "stats and logic" truly are beyond me.

We've conceded 5 goals so far, what makes you think we'll concede that many and keep just one clean sheet?

This thread isn't predicting we will win the league, or finish top whatever, it is to appreciate and enjoy the achievement of the start of our season.

So not "spouting" anything! I agree with rest of your post (apart from moron, I'm far from that, but will admit to being excitable about saints - is that meant to be an insult?

Our finish has much to do with how other teams do, I can't see Liverpool, Everton or spurs matching their last seasons - maybe not Man U.

 

 

 

Don't think your prediction is unrealistic, really hard to predict this season. 8th would be a good season, I keep telling myself that but fear my heart is started to see higher as attainable!

Bookies seem to have us finishing 6th.

 

 

 

No, I don't realise that , as its not true. I haven't predicted our next games, don't generally go in for game prediction as don't like balancing my optimism with expecting a win when I go.

 

You may have got yourself confused, again, with posts in motd thread? There was discussion about what's will happen over next few months and whether we will drop. A poster gave their prediction. I gave example showing we don't need to beat top teams, and can perform a lot worse and start new year in good position.

You seem to want to jump on my posts for some reason. Have I offended you? Anyway don't want to get personal but you've missed your target last two attempts

 

You don't go in for predictions?

 

I've got confused? And it isn't true?

 

Okay then.

 

Have a look on the November/December predictions thread.

 

These are level of results typically needed for 5th/6th, and with our start would still gave us ahead of whats needed over season so far;

hull City v Southampton D

Southampton v Leicester W

Villa v Southampton D

Southampton v Chelsea L

"This is the level of results needed for 5th/6th" no it isn't, it's relegation form and we'd be down to about eighth on that run.

 

And you forecast us losing all of our games against the big boys.

 

Yeah. Look at me all wrong and missing the target.

He never said that it's pretty obvious he never said anything like that CB fried. What's he's saying is that with those results are good enough for top 5 and we should be aiming for that, with a a chance of top 10 but a likely realistic position of 2-16th. Or something.

A somewhat pessimistic set of forecasts after the first three in the list but entirely understandable for a Saints' fan. The encouraging thing is that even these results would mean that at the halfway point of the season we would be halfway to 70 points. Last year that would have been 6th place. Whilst 6th place would be very creditable, I feel we can do better than that but also, we do need to win against one or two of the 'big clubs' as we did against Liverpool last year, before the football world will see us as anything more than just a decent second category side.

15pts from the games, total 37pts, average just a hair over 2pts per game for the season...would be 5th in last year's table.
