25/26 - Non Saints Games

[saintant]

4 points off 6th place as it stands. Big game coming up on Tuesday.

There’s a lot of teams going for just the one place. Can we actually do it?!

Maybe if we start playing better than today. We probably have the strongest squad but other teams are performing better. It's a results business though and we're having a decent start to 2026.

Coventry have shit the bed again.

Ipswich will catch them soon

I don't think so, we're too inconsistent and probably left too much to do. 

Hopefully stay in contention to keep season interesting

Momentum is building, one handball away from 4 straight wins. Keeper that makes saves, 3 clean sheets in 4. Maybe, just maybe, we are finally going on a decent run that lasts.

Fully agree we have left ourselves a mountain to climb, but I think we might just have the tools to climb it. To be 14th and only 4 points off the playoffs shows how crazy the league is. I’m not sure the teams we are competing against are that consistent either. 

February is a big month.

Picture the scene: 
Coventry choke and drop into the play-offs in 3rd place. We mount a late surge and steal 6th place. We get Cov in the play-offs. That would actually be incredibly entertaining and would probably generate a great atmosphere for the home leg after Lampard behaving like such a weapon when we played them.

Agree. Our football just isn't as fluent as it should be so we're scrambling wins rather than looking like a side good enough to make a challenge. We've improved with the back four and two decent full backs, a goalkeeper who can make saves plus options up front but there is something missing. It could be that our two wingers Scienza and Fellows are not quite on it at the moment. With them in electrifying form I think we'd be a real tough side for opponents but Scienza has dropped off and Fellows needs more assists and to start scoring.

Can't help but think this is premature but it's their money. Arsenal probably will win the League but there's still a lot of football still to go.

WTF is wrong with this bloke? If Saints were 3-2 down in injury time trying to get an equaliser I wouldn’t be sitting there with my birds arm wrapped round me and her snuggling in. On the few occasions I let my missus come with me to a game she used to drive me mad trying to touch me during the game. Fucking toon army, passionate bullshit, bunch of drips ruled by their birds

They know how to perfect that ‘dog hasn’t been fed for half-a-day’ sad eyed look up there. Because they’re so passionate.

Did you know how much they love a number 9?

Keith Andrews has done way better than I thought he would, fair play him and humble pie for me.

PIF starting to put the brakes on a bit as well, not just FFP.

With all the upheaval in the summer with so many key players sold I thought they’d go down but luckily it’s nothing to do with managers so anyone else would have done the same
