Once we get through this tough-ish spell we have a couple of easier games. I reckon 20-22 points should see us through. It really is all on us. Posh wont keep scoring bucketloads im sure

They win away by being hard to score against and winning 1-0. And at home they haven't lost all season. If you win 1-0 away from home most weeks and never lose at home, well, you will probably do OK.

Still got to aim for first even though there is really very little chance of it happening. Aim for first and get 2nd. Brighton totally deserve to be where they are in the league. I think they have won 9 of their last 10 which is bloody impressive. If we didn't finish 2nd I would be devastated. I could not take having to go through the playoffs.

Go in with zero expectation. Even then you'll be dissapointed.

Expensive, but chance to live the boyhood dream !

To be fair, its almost like a southampton sub-forum were on there so much!

Was on there earlier and there were just the 4 threads about us. Obsessed much. There is the odd few that seem to realise that the rest are being a bunch of mongs which is reassuring.

Did you read it in full?

I thought this was a joke thread. wow. Were still in position to be 2nd assuming we win the games in hand, and 3 points clear i think? Why would we settle for the complete lottery of playoffs? Bizarre.

Brighton fans really are a sad bunch of obsessed gimps with a chip on their shoulder. Fair play to them for this season, i thought they'd get playoffs but their all but up IMO. Still, the fans on that forum are embarrassing.

Jaidi you TANK ! Get in !!

Fans sound brilliant !

And my god do they hate it !

Of their last 4 home games, they've drawn won and lost 3. The draw was to Tranmere, lost to Brentford, Exeter and Carlisle. Not the toughest selection with all due respect. We really should be able to get 3 points here.

I really wouldnt drive, I imagine parking round there must be a nightmare?

I read on their forum that they would win the league by about 10-15 points or something absurd like that. Maybe not.

I dont think it is a 'must win' by any means, a draw wouldnt be the worst thing, what I meant is that its a great chance to give ourselves some room for if we slip up later on. Id rather be 5 points clear with everyone looking up at us than 1 point clear from the pack, always being a game away from dropping to 3rd or 4th

The chance to go potentially 5 points clear of P'boro assuming we win the game in hand. We have to take these chances so late in the season.

This is one of those occasions where we can really make a great chance to get away count. Get on top early, their lame fans will get on their backs and its ours for the taking. Huge. Please win

Get in.. thankyou Franchise. Another good week for us. Makes tommorow really important now. We want people looking up at us playing catch up

5 mins of stoppages.. christ alive

Jackson, Youga and Elliot all out it seems - http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_div_2/9429089.stm Good for us I guess, dunno how much they've been playing recently though.

I feel so much more content when we have the ball. We very rarely gain anything when we hoof it. Passing the ball around is what were good at, we have the quality to carve other sides open eventually.

Brighton really are comedy value. Theres a new thread on Saints every time I pop on there.. according to them were a 'tinpot club' Facepalm.

Do bare in mind that P'boro dont have it easy either. They also have Rochdale away, Orient and Huddersfield away, and Bournemouth at home.
