dannysfc Posted 1 April, 2011 Posted 1 April, 2011 I didn't see the game tonight but both my brother and my mate texted me to keep me updated and when I found out I felt Pretty Pleased like people are on here after that draw that we wanted and we got and I think it is ours to lose now and with a win tomorrow v MK Dons then we can take 3rd and then beat Charlton on Tuesday and take 2nd sooo all in all am Pretty Pleased! COYR !!
corsacar saint Posted 1 April, 2011 Posted 1 April, 2011 If we can win our next 2 home games[should,but we are Saints],then we will be in a very good position,even if Huddersfield win tomorrow. However if we drop points and Huddersfield win,we are leaving ourselves with a lot to do,to catch them.
Lets B Avenue Posted 1 April, 2011 Posted 1 April, 2011 Unlike you Steve, to get it wrong. I still don't think we will do it, mainly because we are simply not playing well. Are you turning into Billy Bellows?
stevegrant Posted 1 April, 2011 Posted 1 April, 2011 if we win every game will we get promoted? Yes. It will not matter a jot what the other teams do if we win all ten games. 10 wins would give us a total of 95 points, and we still won't win the league!
Viking Warrior Posted 1 April, 2011 Posted 1 April, 2011 Watched the 2nd Half . a scrappy game not much talent on show. Fletcher is a gobby ****. And I do not rate mackail-smith on his second half performance , Im glad we did not buy him based on the second jhalf performance
woodsaint Posted 1 April, 2011 Posted 1 April, 2011 Boys - I can't believe some of you thought we might win this. Obviously going to be 5-1 isn't it. But come on - Boyd and CMS are way better than any of our players. We just haven't got the money, we can't hang onto talented players and the season is petering out - we'll be 8/9/10th I reckon Lol
Thedelldays Posted 1 April, 2011 Posted 1 April, 2011 Yes. It will not matter a jot what the other teams do if we win all ten games. 10 wins would give us a total of 95 points, and we still won't win the league! norwich won the league with 95 points.....yet this league is alot weaker.?
dubai_phil Posted 1 April, 2011 Posted 1 April, 2011 What a disaster. This obviously will turn Bompeys terminal decline around. We are now going to have to watch our backs. This has unnecessarily brought another team back into the mix. Utterly gutted. Jeez sorry peeps, had dug out some old skiing holiday snaps early to show the GF, forgot who I was for a mo Wooo Hooo. Message to Nige check the petrol, oil & water, pump up the tyres and get that bus rammed right through Franchise FC Saturday
Liquidshokk Posted 1 April, 2011 Posted 1 April, 2011 Great stuff. Makes me more nervous about tomorrow though as we don't often make the most of other results going our way :S
scotty Posted 1 April, 2011 Posted 1 April, 2011 Brighton have demonstrated that you don't need to play well to win games (as have we on a number of occasions this season) - if the belief is there, that will often be the key factor. By all accounts they've been woeful in their last two games (home to Notts County and away at Dagenham), but they've scraped them both 1-0. I'll take a terrible performance and one going in off Lee Barnard's arse tomorrow if it means three points. this. They came to st marys, played like sh*t, parking the bus and timewasting from practically the first whistle, and still almost nicked 3 points if kelvin hadnt of saved that pen...
saintrich Posted 1 April, 2011 Posted 1 April, 2011 No doubt we'll screw up our next two games. Every time we get a good opportunity to catch up we blow it.
Badger Posted 1 April, 2011 Posted 1 April, 2011 Unlike you Steve, to get it wrong. I still don't think we will do it, mainly because we are simply not playing well. My fears exactly. And you can add, that sometimes when we do play well ie Walsall, we can't score despite how good our approach play is,or have a legitimate goal ruled out as at Charlton etc.
View From The Top Posted 1 April, 2011 Posted 1 April, 2011 Oh woe, we are not playing like Barca yet winning. Woe is I.
SimonC Posted 1 April, 2011 Posted 1 April, 2011 Lol Guilty as charged - oh me of little faith ok I was hacked off!!!
Kingsbridge Saint Posted 1 April, 2011 Posted 1 April, 2011 Good result for us, but we will all be feeling a bit different tomorrow night if we draw with the Dons, Udders do the expected at Tranny and we're 7 points off an auto spot. We simply have to put the Dons away now, and Capitalise.
del boy Posted 1 April, 2011 Posted 1 April, 2011 We seem to have some of our best results when we're not playing
sandwichsaint Posted 1 April, 2011 Posted 1 April, 2011 Orient next week could be epic It could be nearly al over by then, beat MK and Charlton and we are half-way(ish) there.... Can we beat MK and Charlton ?..... hhhmmmmm (tune in at 17-00 tomorrow for another exciting episode of Adkins-Adventures-of-Ricky...!!! )
sandwichsaint Posted 1 April, 2011 Posted 1 April, 2011 We seem to have some of our best results when we're not playing This!
dubai_phil Posted 1 April, 2011 Posted 1 April, 2011 This! Was just going to post something similar. If ONLY (the two worst words on the planet) we had been in Udder's position. The way results go our way when we don't play we could have sat back and relaxed to the end of the season
trousers Posted 1 April, 2011 Posted 1 April, 2011 Just heard the result. One word: Yeeeeeessssssssssss!!!!
Pat from Poole Posted 1 April, 2011 Posted 1 April, 2011 Unlike you Steve, to get it wrong. I still don't think we will do it, mainly because we are simply not playing well. I would echo this. I also think that Huddersfield have got a very good nucleus of experienced players, and unlike us are not over-reliant on one player.
Thedelldays Posted 1 April, 2011 Posted 1 April, 2011 I would echo this. I also think that Huddersfield have got a very good nucleus of experienced players, and unlike us are not over-reliant on one player. who are we reliant on..?
dubai_phil Posted 1 April, 2011 Posted 1 April, 2011 Just heard the result. One word: Yeeeeeessssssssssss!!!! Just heard the result Think that is 4 words
Pat from Poole Posted 1 April, 2011 Posted 1 April, 2011 who are we reliant on..? Well, put it this way, the hysteria on this board since the Charlton game at the potential prospect of Lallana being out for the rest of the season is endemic of the extent to which our results depend on him being fit and playing well.

Dig Dig Posted 1 April, 2011 Posted 1 April, 2011 Great result to come back home to.... Now lets make it count tomorrow. BTW, how many times have peterborough been on sky this season. Feels like they are on every week!
south Posted 1 April, 2011 Posted 1 April, 2011 this. They came to st marys, played like sh*t, parking the bus and timewasting from practically the first whistle, and still almost nicked 3 points if kelvin hadnt of saved that pen... Well, this keeps being used as as example (obviously) but they haven't played like that for the majority of the season. You don't get so far clear at the top of the league by playing like that alone. It simply doesn't happen. Recently however, they have been grinding out results. Probably knackered after hammering most the teams in this league. That's what champions do, and why (for example) Manchester United have been so successful over the last years and why Arsenal haven't. You don't walk the league by beating the teams the big teams, you walk the league by ensuring you always beat the smaller ones. That's why Brighton will finish as the best team in this league. They have played like Champions. I
Badger Posted 1 April, 2011 Posted 1 April, 2011 same as hudders and pilkington...hence why they are scraping 1-0s and playing poorly They also managed to 'scrape' a 3-0 v Notts County without Pilkington last week.Unfortunately they seem to cope without him a little better than we do when AL is injured,and some of our inventiveness is lacking.

Dr Who? Posted 1 April, 2011 Posted 1 April, 2011 We will not win our last 10 games, I cannot remember how long I have been waiting for us to beat our club RECORD of 6 straight wins!!! I think if we win 6 and draw 2 and lose 2 we will go up in 2nd. We really do not have to do much, but a couple of games that stand out, well 3, Brighton away, Orient away, and Rochdale away, and I think we will slip up at home again before the season is out.
saints-cris Posted 1 April, 2011 Posted 1 April, 2011 Great result for us.. lets gain 2 points on them tommorow now.
Torres Posted 2 April, 2011 Posted 2 April, 2011 Shame Posh couldn't win tonight as I reckon they've got a better chance of finishing 2nd than B'mouth and every time they drop points it makes it harder for us to finish outside the top 2, which is what we really want to do. Much better to am for the playoffs than automatic promotion.

Much better to am for the playoffs than automatic promotion. Damn .... thanks for that. I'd forgotten that we didn't want automatic promotion. Sorry Alps.
thefuriousb Posted 2 April, 2011 Posted 2 April, 2011 I would echo this. I also think that Huddersfield have got a very good nucleus of experienced players, and unlike us are not over-reliant on one player. And Kelvin, Butterfield, Fonte, Jaidi, Harding, Hammond, Lambert, Barnard, Guly, Lallana & Chaplow aren't expereinced?
david in sweden Posted 2 April, 2011 Posted 2 April, 2011 (edited) What result do we want tonight then? A draw would be best IMO but a Bournemouth win would do, it's a shame they can't both lose. exactly my thoughts ---a draw was best. It holds back 'Boro's points total ....and keeps B'mouth in check - behind us. Now it's all up to us. THREE games in hand on most of the other challengers..if we foul up now, we only have ourselves to blame. Edited 2 April, 2011 by david in sweden
hamster Posted 2 April, 2011 Posted 2 April, 2011 (edited) How can we thank Bournemouth for pulling that out of the bag? I suppose beating MK would be a start but I do worry that they need a little more assistance than that. Beat Orient and I reckon they will see the straw and grab for it. At the end of the day it is ultimately down to them but maybe beating Brentford too may help them out a wee bit. What excites me with how we can influence their season now is the thought of them cheering our results, they have to. It may stick in their throats but the fact of the matter is that they need us to finish second for them to stand an earthlies of staying in he play off spot. This, I assume, is what we all want?

stanthemanfairoak Posted 2 April, 2011 Posted 2 April, 2011 Are you turning into Billy Bellows? surley not kenny boy
Fan The Flames Posted 2 April, 2011 Posted 2 April, 2011 I would like to think that we were Bournemouths motivation for their come back, that they did it for us. The half time team talk would have been "lets show our south coast cousins how much they mean to us and do this for the Saints'.
NickG Posted 2 April, 2011 Posted 2 April, 2011 Unlike you Steve, to get it wrong. I still don't think we will do it, mainly because we are simply not playing well. playing hell of a lot better than Peterborough! Seen their last two sky games - not impressed at all
NickG Posted 2 April, 2011 Posted 2 April, 2011 from that posh paper FORM IF form over the last 10 matches is replicated in the run-in to the end of the season, Posh will finish second as long as Southampton, who have games in hand, slip up. Posh need to beat Bournemouth at London Road in front of the Sky television cameras on Friday night to put pressure on Southampton aheda of their crunch match with MK Dons the following day. Posh have picked up more points over the last 10 matches than any of the other teams battling for second spot (Forget Brighton, they will soon be crowned deserved champions). Southampton look the biggest danger, but they have a defeat at lowly Walsall in their recent run of form. Huddersfield are unbeaten in 2011, but have stopped scoring, Bournemouth are in freefall and while MK Dons have won five on the bounce, it was hard to see them maintaining that form for much longer given the evidence of last Monday night, and so it proved as they dropped bad points at home to Walsall on Friday night.
LostBoys Posted 2 April, 2011 Posted 2 April, 2011 Dont you just love it!!! but we have to win today and Tuesday
Saint Without a Halo Posted 2 April, 2011 Posted 2 April, 2011 looks like we will want Borough to beat Huddersfield and everything will look quite rosy. COYRS Draw will do!
hamster Posted 2 April, 2011 Posted 2 April, 2011 To Bournemouth from hamster: http://http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ajp0Uaw4rqo&feature=youtube_gdata_player
Saint Without a Halo Posted 2 April, 2011 Posted 2 April, 2011 norwich won the league with 95 points.....yet this league is alot weaker.? When the league is weaker the better teams get more points!
EastleighSoulBoy Posted 2 April, 2011 Posted 2 April, 2011 Oh woe, we are not playing like Barca yet winning. Woe is I. A comment which, for me, far outwieghs all the pessimism on here. We can do it, one step at a time. Patience you guys!
Deppo Posted 2 April, 2011 Posted 2 April, 2011 Unlike you Steve, to get it wrong. I still don't think we will do it, mainly because we are simply not playing well. I honestly can't believe that you write books on football.
