SNSUN Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 So are we hoping for a Leicester win, Ipswich win or draw for the game on Monday? For me I love the idea we could catch Leicester but ultimately I’d rather they won and we consolidated 2nd. Would be huge mentally. Draw not a disaster though and if you offered me the draw and Leeds failing to get the 3 points tomorrow I’d bite your hand off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiggles31 Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Feels like either way it’s a bonus now we’ve done our bit. But Leicester win for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Clarke Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 It's a weird game in which every outcome would be good for us in some way. But from a table position alone, you have to go with a Leicester win and keep us in 2nd place by merit. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee On Solent Saint Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Probably a draw and a Leeds defeat for me. A four way race becoming a three way race is far better. Still be great to catch Leicester, but the ultimate target is promotion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bpsaint Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Leicester win, let’s try and get daylight between us and Ipswich as we’ve had to do with Leeds before worrying about top spot.

A draw although would send us back to third, they’ve got to go to Leeds and if they lose that and we beat them suddenly they’re under huge pressure from us with the gap down to two points for the run in Shouldn’t be disappointed with our run but those late equalisers at Huddersfield, Norwich and Watford plus the home draw v Rotherham are costing us Edited January 20 by Turkish 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gio1saints Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Head says draw heart says Ipswich win. Frankly, praying for Ipswich to falter and Leeds ditto is weak. Better to be strong and go for the top place not be satisfied with second and others fucking up than whimper along on our knees last few gages to get second or worse a play off position. That attitude is best for getting max points from all the games we should between now and end season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Kraken Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Just now, Tamesaint said: Top 2. Pay 1/3 the odds That does seem too good to be true. Just checked and some bookies are still offering 10/1, so effectively 3/1 on us finishing top two. At that value I might have to see if there’s some free bet signup deals to be had.

That's what I thought. It wad sometime around Xmas and the QPR, Swansea, Plymouth games when the penny dropped and I decided that we were good for the top 2.

Just been looking and can’t see those odds on the main sites (I checked Ladbrokes, Paddy Piwer, William Hill). They offer outright title win but no E/W option, Saints around 7/1 to 10/1. They all offer top two but those are coming in around evens or less, which seems about right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodymatt Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Our points per game in our record breaking unbeaten run is 2.4ppg, Leicester’s all season is 2.4ppg. With this in mind, I find it hard to back an Ipswich win, based on our form being good enough to catch Leicester. Nothing suggests so far that they can be caught. More likely they break the record points total. An Ipswich defeat seems to be the result that will benefit us the most. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colinjb Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 (edited) I'm feeling confident. Give me an Ipswich win. Hurts us in the short term, but closes things up for the title. We keep this up and we catch Ipswich regardless, lets bring the Foxes back into play. Edited January 20 by Colinjb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bet365 made it outright for the title rather than each way about 1/2 weeks ago. I had been tempted to have a top up after Sheff Wed but that's when I noticed it was for outright so didn't bother. I would recommend Bet365. They seem to have better offers and better prices than other bookies. They also bung occasional free bets my way "bet credits" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Who? Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Tough one is, but on the basis we have still got to go to Leicester, Ipswich, WBA, and Leeds on the last day. I am thinking that champions maybe just out of reach. So a Leicester win for me to keep 2nd. On this note I think our unbeaten streak will end at WBA.

sfc4prem Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Leicester win please. We've still got the toughest away games in the league left to go in Leicester, Leeds, Ipswich and WBA. We are exceptional and our squad is great, we play some top stuff and dominate most teams easily. Even the best do face tough tests and trouble during the season, though.

JRM Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 6 hours ago, Harry_SFC said: Not sure why they are playing Norwich next Wednesday, it seems to be the only Championship game being played. It's their rearranged game from FA Cup 4th round weekend I think. Its an interesting move by them getting the fixture played now and in theory points on the board. Our game at home to Hull due to be played 27th Jan was rearranged for Feb 20th so we're saving up a game in hand. Hopefully Leeds have a disruptive transfer window and drop some points, Norwich have picked up a bit and Bristol City away on a Friday night certainly not easy, but quite likely they do win all three will shift the dynamic of the table again if we're 4th when taking the field against Rotherham Leeds v Preston Leeds v Norwich Bristol City v Leeds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fan The Flames Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 This is a win win win game for us, draw is less points spread about our two rivals, Leciester win we stay second, Ipswich win lessens the gap to Leicester.

Behind Enemy Lines Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Got to back this team. They are doing us proud and the fans (at the stadium not all on here) are right behind them. What’s the point in supporting a team if you don’t want to go all out and win. None of this what, if’s, but’s and maybes. Ipswich win. The gap between us and top remains the same. Two teams closing in on Leicester, suddenly their mentality and focus changes. We’ve got the momentum. Would rather come second or third going all out for it than anything else, otherwise, what’s the point? 21, 22 games unbeaten… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ipswich, who have had a tough set of fixtures, they win and "suddenly their mentality and focus changes" - they will be ten feet tall. I just want us to be second today, tomorrow and next week. We've earned it. I'd rather we finished second and got promoted than finish third in any scenario. Your "I'd rather finish third going for it" seems to suggest that the "going for it" just seems to involve, er, a particular team losing to another team on Monday night. What's the point indeed. Leicester to win as that is much, much better for us right now. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
