SaintJackoInHurworth Posted 16 April, 2010 Share Posted 16 April, 2010 Well I agree that's pretty much season over... except that I thought that a few weeks ago and then it looked possible again! You never know - Huddersfield may get complacent next week and suffer a shocking defeat at the hands of Stockport!!! Highly unlikely, I know, but I just hope that our lads will keep going 'til the end anyway... just in case!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott_saints Posted 16 April, 2010 Share Posted 16 April, 2010 Anyone who thinks Millwall's manager has thought "Lets go for automatic prom.....oh, hang on. I'd much rather try and get promoted in the playoffs it's alot more fun you get a trophy n' stuff. Aslong as we don't play that pesky Southampton anyway" ...is seriously deluded and should be American. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingsland Red Posted 16 April, 2010 Share Posted 16 April, 2010 So Huddersfield need 5 points from 3 games- Stockport and Exeter away, Colchester at home, and that's if we win all 5 games ! I think that's it now folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Clarke Posted 16 April, 2010 Share Posted 16 April, 2010 Not over yet - Huddersfield still need to win two of their remaining games to be safely into the playoffs ahead of us. A win and a draw will not be good enough. i really cannot see it. they have 74 points now, they need to get 5 more pts to be assured. It will take the mother of all ****ups from them to surrender this. + this now means we really do have to win every one of our games, which was always a long shot!

Gigersaint Posted 16 April, 2010 Share Posted 16 April, 2010 How frustrating was that, the one game when you want Millwall to win and they don't turn up. ********, ****ing ****s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ludgershallsaint Posted 16 April, 2010 Share Posted 16 April, 2010 FT 1-0. Bollix Yeah. So to sum up: Us to win the lot, Huddersfield to get no more than 4 points and Colchester to drop points once. Not impossible and made more intriguing by the fact Colchester play Huddersfield. Wouldn't put any money on it though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingsbridge Saint Posted 16 April, 2010 Share Posted 16 April, 2010 Mathematically still in with a shout, so hopefully we can beat Yeovil tonight. Huddersfield still have to win two of their last three to stop us if we keep winning. Milwall are complete w@nk though. How the hell that shower of s41te ever got in the play offs I cant understand. Commentator said 'one shot on target all night - and they missed that'!!!! If we don't make the play offs I hope Huddersfield don't go up because it's 6 easy points next season against them too.

Crouch Ender Posted 16 April, 2010 Share Posted 16 April, 2010 We've been fitted up. So Millwall would rather be in the play offs than get automatic promotion then?

corsacar saint Posted 16 April, 2010 Share Posted 16 April, 2010 We still have to try and win all our games, and be as professional as we can be in the process. We need to keep the winning habit ,and carry it over to next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Landrew Posted 16 April, 2010 Author Share Posted 16 April, 2010 Milwall could have gone up automatically. No playoff lottery. I wouldnt want to rely on form for the playoffs. I really hope the c**ts crash-and-burn in the playoffs. Then we can mullah them next season. You're not getting it, Alpine. They may well have a great chance of auto-promotion, but having lost this match they still have a great chance of promotion. The motivation wasn't that strong to bust a gut, IMO. Anyway, back to reality. Huddersfield now need to either; 1] lose 2 of their remaining 3 matches, or 2] draw all 3 of them, or 3] win, draw and lose 1 each. It's not impossible, just improbable. Colchester need to beat them for us. That would be OK. Millwall can **** off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintJackoInHurworth Posted 16 April, 2010 Share Posted 16 April, 2010 Also, while it really is Huddersfield we need to catch, there is also the possibility that Charlton will lose all of their remaining games - again highly unlikely (even though all their fixtures are very losable!) but Saints have to keep trying just in case! Even if/when it does become mathematically impossible for us to go up, I hope we will still keep going to the end. Despite anything else it would be great for confidence to end the season on a big winning streak ready to start with a bang next season! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saintant Posted 16 April, 2010 Share Posted 16 April, 2010 Hitting the woodwork is not classed as on target. Think Huddersfield now only need a win and two draws from their last three games even if we win all five of ours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shroppie Posted 16 April, 2010 Share Posted 16 April, 2010 Bought my southend ticket today and i really have a feeling we'll have something to play for. i cant see huddersfield winning the next two. But I can't see them not getting 5 points. I'll be there for the Southend game, but it'll be all over before then. Just important to make it a celebration of a great recovery season. How many posted back in August that avoiding relegation would be success? All the what ifs are frustrating, agreed, and so many results - Wycombe, Tranmere, Brighton etc could have made a difference, but don't be depressed. This season is good news. It's just important that next is perfect - nothing less than promotion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saintsgnet Posted 16 April, 2010 Share Posted 16 April, 2010 Interesting how situation could change very fast. If Huddersfield lose to 10 man Warsall, they'll probably lose today too, then the best chance of playoff would go to us due to the easiest run in. Anyway Huddersfield's next match will be crucial, if they lose, they have to win last two games under pressure, which is unlikely. We have to win next three games to keep playoff hope alive.

markr27 Posted 16 April, 2010 Share Posted 16 April, 2010 Just have to concentrate on getting 6 points this week - no margin for error now from a Saints perspective. Get the gap down to five points by the time we play Carlisle, and it suddenly doesn't look as comfortable for Huddersfield, although admittedly they have one foot in the playoffs now. Two words though - Cardiff City. Remember what happened to them last season... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lets B Avenue Posted 16 April, 2010 Share Posted 16 April, 2010 You're not getting it, Alpine.

Shroppie Posted 16 April, 2010 Share Posted 16 April, 2010 Looking back, the last two minutes of Huddersfield - Walsall will be the defining moments. If Walsall had held on, Huddersfield would have been under pressure tonight, but they weren't and managed a result. This week could easily have been 1 point at best for them, but they got 6 and that will be too much for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
