hypochondriac Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 Not that I think I have much of a chance but heres a quick begging post to anyone who has a load of aways and can't make the game for whatever reason - if someone has a couple of tickets to the game on Sunday I'd be eternally grateful.

Cabrone Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 This is going to be tough but if we don't bottle it I fancy our chances. They are a good solid unit but reasonably predictable and we do have the weapons to get past them. Our biggest enemy is our own mentality. Will the Leeds team turn up or will it be the Stoke one? Hopefully a draw or narrow defeat at the Hawthornes followed by a comfortable home win. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmes_and_Watson Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 We have the quality. We've done well against them so far this season. We finished with an uptick of confidence. We are missing Baz and Stu, but have some cover. Form guide in last 6 is a couple of points better than theirs. We've every chance. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarvSFC Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 Only team we haven't played off the park for at least 45 minutes of a match this season is Leicester and they were the champions... We've definitely got the team to get us through this and lets hope the recent poor form was due to playing a match every three or four days. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmes_and_Watson Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 We've also had loads of good starts to games this season. No fears of hanging on and sneaking a goal. We know we can start and be all over opponents. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Watson Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 The sad thing is - The Cat,when you are approaching 70 like Dark Munster and myself you become very cynical. We have both supported the club for over 60 years and have seen an awful lot of lows in that time,as well as some highs I might add. With this manager who knows what team and formation he will pick next weekend at - The Hawthorns and that is a real worry 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintBobby Posted May 5 Author Share Posted May 5 We are into the fairly random, god knows what happens, play-offs. But I fancy us to get to the final. We are the favourites for sure v WBA...but not by a wide margin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Fan CaM Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 It is critical that we win through to the final and then win in the final at Wembley. There’s so much riding on our promotion to the Prem from a financial point of view because of debt left by Goa and failure to go up will cast a huge shadow, so much so that we could find ourselves in deeper shit than our previous relegation if that were possible. Sports Republic have gambled everything on an immediate return to the Prem…failure is not an option, so we must hope RM and his coaches are on their best form to rouse the squad to perform at the highest level. The stakes could not be higher - a cosy life in the Championship is not an option. COYS! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

east-stand-nic Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 It will take a brave man to put a bet on this game. I would actually rather we have not beaten them twice, as often when this sort of things happens, the beaten team is well up for showing that the other games were a fluke and want to put things right, plus they will be learning as we speak from videos, exactly how to combat out style. I hope RM sticks to the Leeds set up as it will totally fook their plan up. We have to win or draw IMO as there are no guarantees we will play any better in the home leg. It would be nice to come back to SMS with a 1 goal lead minimum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Wayman Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 On balance the four teams in the play-offs seem pretty evenly matched and it will come down surely to which group of players want it most and with a firm belief that they will be able to hack it in the PL should they succeed. Several Saints players must be uncertain whether they will be part of the club's plans if promotion is gained. To succeed players must put club before self and play their hearts out for the group benefit whatever their futures hold. This will be Martin's task this week 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
east-stand-nic Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 I will say though, what a way to go up if we do get to and win the final. I wish I could be there. Equaled and bettered only by being at the FA cup final of 1976 I would think. Or, with the game as it is, would it be considered our best win ever, making us all that money to secure our finances for a while? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ant Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 Woke from a dream in the early hours in which we were 4-1 up before half time. Our 4th was a deliciously scrappy, force-it-over-the-line effort. Chance would be a fine thing... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortunately, your dream ended before their second half come back, when we gave up our midfield. 🙂 It's okay, we work to the whistle, with Fraser getting a fifth and Stewart a header in the last second, in a crazy 6-4 win.

Only 1700 fans really, I wonder if it’s why the club put the comment about potential returned/released tickets.
