Dr Who?

As the season died out for Saints women it was a cracking end to the game to grab a point against top of the table Charlton, who are having a little wobble. We finish the campaign away at Forest next Sunday. We also lost Pompey out of the league, which would be funny in the men’s game, but not so much in the women’s game as it is a big fixture in the season lost and the chance to promote the women’s game on the south coast. With Bournemouth screwing up their promotion chances we will not have a south coast game next season. With one game left it will be Watford joining us from the south and Burnley from the north (another game for me to go to) and there will be a playoff place for one other with a playoff between 2nd in each of the north and south leagues Plymouth v Wolves. I would expect it will be another rebuild as it will be every season as the WSL clubs come in and flash the cash as well as Newcastle in our league. This is the unfortunate state we find ourselves in even in the women’s game as it is a career for them as well. So who know what next season will hold.

Correct kind sir Step 3 Sholing in the southern league premier south (division 7) and step 4 Winchester City in the southern league south (division 8). Could be in the same next season.

Worth mentioning that Sholing missed out on the playoffs even though the had a great 0-4 win at Dorchester they missed out to Berkhamsted who also won 2-0, and Sholing needed them to lose. Winchester City are in the playoffs

Well there is a good chance as it is the national league south, but I know what you mean 😉. I keep an eye out for Torquay, playoffs again for them!

For me it was the league cup final. Mainly because it was a final. The atmosphere throughout the 2nd half was amazing where I was and we had chances and should have won the game after a very dodgy half hour. I drove back to Carlisle pretty happy for a cup final loss and it was amazing. But topped again by the end of the playoff final… what a day that was!

I will have to take your word for that one I’m afraid.

To be fair our support always turns up in the big games. A number of relegation battles when at The Dell Villa Park 2003 Cardiff 2003 JPT Final Wembley 2010 League Cup Final 2017 Wembley San Siro 2017 Play Off Semi 2024 - home to WBA Play off final 2024 FA Cup Quarters Arsenal 2026 Today FA Cup Semi

I think you underestimate of squad depth.

Just win this and take it to the last Saturday of the season. Who knows what could happen then, but we have to win to be in the mix. In any case if it is the playoffs we might need to beat someone by a few to keep catch and stay above Boro on the goal difference for that 4th slot. It’s a great time to be a Saint!

So proud of our club today!

I’m hoping we will be in a position to rest a few at Preston… well wrong choice of words, but if we cannot get second. They could all do with some time to rest a bit, as it is straight into the playoffs!

Still had my MUSH t shirt from 2003 until recently!

Right… Ipswich lose at WBA by 2, and Millwall lose at Leicester.We beat Ipswich by 2. We beat Preston on the last day 2/3-0 and Ipswich only win by less. We go up, 2nd on goal difference on the same points 82 as Ipswich and Millwall. If not the playoffs it is! All fun and games!

But we ‘could’ be the key for Millwall.
