macca155 Posted 12 December, 2023 Share Posted 12 December, 2023 The top two are making this a weird season. Already significantly ahead of Burnley and Sheffield last year. Amazing form, got to hand it to them. However long way to go, Saints just need to win as often as possible. Frankly first task is to overtake Leeds and stretch out a buffer of a few points. That won't be easy and will take time. Then it's just a case of waiting for either Leicester or Ipswich to slip up. I reckon that's unlikely but stranger things have happened. Ipswich have Norwich Leeds and Leicester next. In contrast Saints have Coventry, Blackburn, and QPR. Ideal time to load on the pressure.

Saint_Ash Posted 12 December, 2023 Share Posted 12 December, 2023 (edited) Fair play to Ipswich, after coming 2nd in league 1 last year they are looking the real deal in the championship. I'd prefer them to win the league over Leicester, obviously if not us. I think we have to make sure we finish in the top 6 to give ourselves the best chance of promotion.

Ross Stewart makes his first start of the season in the play off final against his old team Sunderland and nets a last minute winner to send us up.. then does his ACL whilst celebrating and misses the whole of next season in the Premier League.

Fair point on the goals, we all know that needs sorting. Bit harsh on Bazunu, all goalkeepers have those moments. He's been one of the positives so far, and is significant part of the unbeaten run. Score the 2nd or 3rd goal and his earlier saves will be remembered rather than the fumble. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our present points total would often have us at the top of the table at this stage no? Or maybe second? But surely - at worst - not so many points off the automatic places.

S-Clarke Posted 13 December, 2023 Share Posted 13 December, 2023 Bit of a comedown for Newcastle. Massive fanfare before their first Champions league game against PSG, fireworks, drone displays, Champions League theme being played around the City. Fair enough they beat PSG, but they've ended it by not even being in Europe in any competition in the 2nd half of the season. No surprise when you look at how stretched they are though - no Pope, Botman, Tonali, Willock, Barnes etc. They were always going to start slipping when they had to call upon Lascelles and Dubraka again.
