alpine_saint Posted 28 January, 2011 Share Posted 28 January, 2011 When the pair of you have grown up, perhaps we might be able to drag the thread back to its original purpose? On which note, I see Elliott Bennett, Brighton's best player, has put in a transfer request. Heavily linked with a move to Norwich. Sorry, Steve, but its not me having trouble dealing with the fact that not everyone agrees with me (at least on this one occasion !) Bit of a straw clutch to expect this to derail their campaign; Poyet is probably looking for a replacement already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatch Posted 28 January, 2011 Share Posted 28 January, 2011 Will we catch Brighton? Answer - yes. But get done by Huddersfield. Still finish second, Brighton in playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The9 Posted 28 January, 2011 Share Posted 28 January, 2011 Top scorer in league 1. How does that help us? Because he's cr^p and it's more likely than not that it was a flash in the pan, based on his career before St Mary's AND his time here. Just because he's scored goals for 5 months at this level doesn't mean he will at a different club and with different players around him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickG Posted 28 January, 2011 Share Posted 28 January, 2011 We are two points behind the team in 2nd. We have a better goal difference than all bar Brighton in top 6. Our current form is better than any of the other teams after the 2nd spot. We have the biggest quality squad of any other contender for 2nd spot and so should be best prepared for 2nd half of the season. There are 21 games for us left. We have gained on all of those teams ever since Adkins came into the club. Our results over the last month: Won 5 games Drawn 1 Lost 1 goals scored 19 goals, goals conceded 4. Why would anyone say that we face an insurmountable challenge to get into 2nd? Happy for return to thread topic! To my mind, catching Brighton - definately possible, reasonable chance but would be surprised. 2nd easily within our sight and think most likely. my bet 2-4th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit of a straw clutch to expect this to derail their campaign; Poyet is probably looking for a replacement already. Quick question.....why do you lean on the side of it not derailing their campaign and that Poyet is looking for a replacement? Yet when Lallana was injured you were using that as one reason why it would derail our campaign. I don't get why they are so different in your eyes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We dont get any money for Lallana being injured, so might not be able to replace him. Do use your noodle, my friend... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Clarke Posted 28 January, 2011 Share Posted 28 January, 2011 Elliott Bennett looks like he's on the move. That will weaken them massively, without any doubt. It's like us selling Lallana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 28 January, 2011 Share Posted 28 January, 2011 Elliott Bennett looks like he's on the move. That will weaken them massively, without any doubt. It's like us selling Lallana. Would be even better if we signed Bennett. Then we'd have two Lallanas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint_clark Posted 28 January, 2011 Share Posted 28 January, 2011 Have to admit, i'm slightly more optimistic now that Bennett might be off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint_clark Posted 28 January, 2011 Share Posted 28 January, 2011 Also, Puncheon take note - if you want a transfer, the way Austin and Bennett have done it is the right way to go about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickG Posted 2 May, 2011 Share Posted 2 May, 2011 No, we wont catch Brighton, and looking at the teams around us, I reckon we have an insurmountable challenge to get into 2nd and hold on to it. Playoffs is the best we can expect, sadly.. go own, be more realistic next season mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpine_saint Posted 2 May, 2011 Share Posted 2 May, 2011 go own, be more realistic next season mate Oh dear. You've been waiting for weeks to dredge this up, havent you ??? Plenty of people got things wrong on here. But I cant be arsed with the truly pedantic exercise you've just undertaken. I'm too busy celebrating promotion.

NickG Posted 2 May, 2011 Share Posted 2 May, 2011 some more than others! truly hope you enjoy it - and get rid of the ridiculous unneccessary negativity for next season - it has been shown to be an unrealistic view! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
