Remaining fixtures

[Ian the Red]

I see plenty of posts concerning where we will end up, whether it is in our own hands, but surely we need to look at the fixtures of the teams involved in the relegation battle. Well here are the remaining games for teams in the relegation battle.

 

 

SAINTS

Derby H QPR H Bl’pool A Charlton H Watford A Wolves A Palace H Sheff Wed A Burnley H Forrest A

 

Forrest

Watford A Burnley A Wolves H Barnsley A Bristol C H Sheff U A Coventry H Bl’pool A SAINTS H

 

Bl’pool

Sheff U A Barnsley A SAINTS H Plymouth H Preston A Reading H Charlton A Forrest H Swansea A

 

Norwich

Cardiff H Plymouth H Birmingham A Sheff Wed H Swansea A Watford H Ipswich A Reading H Charlton A

 

Barnsley

Birmingham H Bl’pool H Palace H Derby A Forrest H Sheff U A Watford A Swansea H Reading A Coventry A Wolves H Plym’th A

 

Watford

Forrest H Shf Wed H Coventry A Ipswich A Don’ster A SAINTS H Barnsley H Norwich A Bir’ham H Coventry A Derby H

 

Plymouth

Swa’sea A Norwich A Burnley H Bl’pool A Cov’try H Bir’ham A Don’ster H QPR A Barnsley H

 

 

Of these games I would predict that Saints will gain 16 -19 points, Watford 17, Barnsley 11, Plymouth 10, Norwich 9, Forrest 7 and Blackpool 6.

 

That would leave the following points totals:

 

Watford 59

Saints 53-56

Plymouth 53

Barnsley 50

Blackpool 48

Forrest 48

Norwich 46

Charlton well below everyone else!!

 

Blackpool, Forrest, Norwich and Barnsley on paper have a far worst run in than we do. With the other teams having particulaly difficult 2 games on today and on Saturday it is even more important for Saints to win the two home games. Win our next 2 games and IMO we would be out of the bottom 3. Then the pressure switches to the teams below us.

 

 

So there is hope!! COYR's!!

Good point, there are some difficult games coming up for the others as well as us. I probably would want the Norwich run in, and Barsley still have quite a bit to do with theirs.

 

There will be plenty more twists and turns in the next few weeks and some very interesting last day games.

It all hinges on winning tonight in my opinion. A loss or draw wont be good enough.

Whils I agree in principle, a loss will probably be harmless if we win every other game.

 

Never say never.

It's weird how it works out isn't it? So many of the teams in the relegation dogfight are all to face each other in the last few games of the season. Also, the games on the final day of the season are huge!

 

Charlton v Norwich

Nottm Forest v Southampton

Plymouth v Barnsley

Swansea v Blackpool

Watford v Derby

Wolverhampton v Doncaster

The Derby and QPR home games are crucial. If we don't get 4 points out of them, I reckon we could be looking at administration by the end of the month.

why?

 

administration is based on debt - those results will effect our long term income etc but can't see them being make or break for paying any monies owed this month????:confused:

I think he means, based on the premise that we will be down so Rupert will call in the administrators rather than wait until next eyar and get the points deduction.
