Need Skates to draw at least with Derby cant have another team on same number points in case we drop points.

We have to play both Derby and Wrexham it’s in our hands

Starting to feel sick with nerves constantly.. I think if Watford get a positive result tonight it'll be massive for tomorrow -  I do worry about Norwich but I think if we can start the game well and get the monkey of our back then we can hopefully kick on... Up the Saints!

So we hd a better chance of winning the FA Cup this season than getting promoted all along. Before the season started its only 7 games to win the cup so much more likely on your logic.

That’s not the logic though is it. I stated this at this point, the parameters have changed from last August. And I’m not saying winning the cup at all, I personally think we’ll do neither. I fancy us beating arsenal as much as I fear us scraping a draw at home to Norwich.

Only once has more than 75 points been required (Fulham needed 80 in 2017). 6 wins from 9 for Saints, should be enough.

There will be losses, it's inevitable, and that's going to lead to some serious knee wobbling from Saints fans.

This time 2 years ago Saints had 73 points, way more comfortable.

Do we, and more importantly the players, have the mental strength to cope.

Well done Watford. Tonda, it's over to you.

Brilliant win, you just wouldn't have predicted the run of result Saints have had and other teams results. No better incentive tomorrow night.

Last time we broke into the playoffs, albeit very briefly at 3-0 up against West Brom, the wheels well and truly fucking fell off. Let’s hope the team are in a decent place to handle the expectation ahead of tomorrow night.

With a tough trip to Sheffield United at the weekend there’s every chance Wrexham are sat behind us and Derby come Saturday evening.

Very wishful thinking if you think Hull are catchable.

Wrexham are cooked looking at those away games. But who knows.

Their last two games may not be as difficult as they seem. Coventry could/should be champions (although will want to finish at home with a win) and same Boro could be confirmed 3rd and resting players. We could do the autos going down to the wire

True but WBA not easy, Birmingham/Wrexham has needle going back from last season. Oxford fighting for survival...could be a few losses/draws in there.

6 from 11 now... Starting to look more realistic! But the hope kills

5 wins from 9 still needed based on needing to get more than 70 to make the playoffs. It's going to be tough with a difficult run of games coming up, but hats off to Tonda he's keeping the hope alive!

Tough game tonight.

Norwich must also be thinking if they win tonight they have a real chance of 6th. 

Derby / Watford- need to keep an eye on those two putting a run together
