saints-cris Posted 26 April, 2011 Posted 26 April, 2011 Bit early I know, but its all I can think about! It could be a great day for us, or it could all turn on its head! A win here should see this 2 horse race over imo
LGTL Posted 26 April, 2011 Posted 26 April, 2011 Win this one and I think we'll be up. We'd only need to get 3 points from Plymouth and Walsall then, and that's assuming Hudds win both their games. Can't wait for it, London away games are always brilliant but this one even more so, and it's a terrace too!
Griffo Posted 26 April, 2011 Posted 26 April, 2011 Looking forward to this on the terrace. Should be a cracking day out.
saints-cris Posted 26 April, 2011 Author Posted 26 April, 2011 Its gunna be horrible - We win, Hudds lose, were all but up. We lose, Hudds win.. pressure well and truely on us! I want it over with
Spudders Posted 26 April, 2011 Posted 26 April, 2011 Wish I was going. Can't wait to get next weekends games out the way, the finish is in slight now.
niceandfriendly Posted 26 April, 2011 Posted 26 April, 2011 Can't wait for the game. Too nervous to predict a score. Mods, too many stickies.
Lallana's Left Peg Posted 26 April, 2011 Posted 26 April, 2011 Bookies are amazingly confident in us - never seen us this short playing away from home against mid-table opposition: http://www.oddschecker.com/football/english/league-one/brentford-v-southampton/winner

Bookies obviously taking no chances on us.
alpine_saint Posted 26 April, 2011 Posted 26 April, 2011 This is the last game I am worried about. But I am very worried about it. Brentford have been a thorn in our side before.
RobM Posted 26 April, 2011 Posted 26 April, 2011 I think Brentford will be OK, it's Plymouth I'm worried about. They are desperate for survival and it's only 48-hours after being away at Brentford, so we will spend all our time travelling rather than preparing. Brentford should be 3-points as far as I'm concerned.
BotleySaint Posted 26 April, 2011 Posted 26 April, 2011 Seen Brentford twice this season. We handed them the game at St Mary's - but at Wembley in the JPT final they were very poor. Lots of big tall blokes, with no muscle. Easily panicked in defence. But they did have a semi-decent counter attack. Could be a tricky game for us.

Hopefully will be money well lost.

Window Cleaner Posted 26 April, 2011 Posted 26 April, 2011 Think I might put a few bob on Brentford and Huddersfield wins (singles) just as a small hedge. Hopefully will be money well lost. Why bother, backing Brentford is just a waste of money anyway.Can't understand this penchabnt for gifting the bookies money so that you'll feel better (in theory) if we lose, you never do anyway.Nothing can alter the feeling that losing on a Saturday produces, not winning money from the bookies,not getting drunk, not a BJ (helps though)... nothing.
Brussels Saint Posted 26 April, 2011 Posted 26 April, 2011 This for me is the big one to finish it off. Win here and we get a free trip to Plymouth. Lose and we will likely have to beat Plymouth, which won't be easy. A win this Sat and its all over.
bristolsaint29 Posted 26 April, 2011 Posted 26 April, 2011 I am very very excited and like a little schoolboy at present
LGTL Posted 26 April, 2011 Posted 26 April, 2011 I am very very excited and like a little schoolboy at present Likewise, I can do without these 3 poxy days at work. The whole country should have been shut down this week.
Window Cleaner Posted 26 April, 2011 Posted 26 April, 2011 Likewise, I can do without these 3 poxy days at work. The whole country should have been shut down this week. Oh right, forgot the Royal Moneyspinner at the end of the week.
Kingsbridge Saint Posted 26 April, 2011 Posted 26 April, 2011 Win this one and we're pretty much there. Or actually there if Brighton beat Hudds. Come on Lads. Lets give it everything. Hold nothing back. WIFM.
Minty Posted 26 April, 2011 Posted 26 April, 2011 Oh right, forgot the Royal Moneyspinner at the end of the week. Not that it has anything to do with Saints, but according to stories in the media, it's anything BUT a moneyspinner and could actually cost the country a lot of money, directly and indirectly. Anyway, I fancy us to win.
hughieslastminutegoal Posted 26 April, 2011 Posted 26 April, 2011 We'll get the job done this weekend.... and you can believe what I say.... Their defence has wobbled a bit lately, probably lack of concentration. Add a bit of narkiness on top, and given our injury woes its looking like the kind of game where there's a bit of a surprise. As we've looked a bit nervy lately, it being Brighton may relax us psychologically as well. I think Connolly may score and we'll come up with a win.
London Saint Posted 26 April, 2011 Posted 26 April, 2011 Team: Davis Harding Fonte Jaidi Richardson Lallana Chaplow Hammond Guly Lambert Connolly Only change from Saturday is Chaplow for Stephens who I thought looked very average and Jaidi for Seaborne as Jaidi has had his rest now...
Gis Posted 26 April, 2011 Posted 26 April, 2011 Its gunna be horrible - We win, Hudds lose, were all but up. We lose, Hudds win.. pressure well and truely on us! I want it over with Likewise, the pressure is getting to me, even if the team seem OK with it so far. I haven't enjoyed a game for weeks now. I so want Walsall to be a meaningless game, that we can just treat as our promotion party
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 26 April, 2011 Posted 26 April, 2011 Team: Davis Harding Fonte Jaidi Richardson Lallana Chaplow Hammond Guly Lambert Connolly Only change from Saturday is Chaplow for Stephens who I thought looked very average and Jaidi for Seaborne as Jaidi has had his rest now... Personally I'd go with this but also swap Butterfield for Richardson.
Spudders Posted 26 April, 2011 Posted 26 April, 2011 Likewise, the pressure is getting to me, even if the team seem OK with it so far. I haven't enjoyed a game for weeks now. I'm absolutely LOVING the way things are at the moment! Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it's not making me nervous (as it is), but for me it's so exciting that we are on the verge of the best feeling we'll have had as saints fans for decades! In two weeks time we could be promoted!!! Yes PROMOTED. No relegation battle this season, no mid table nothingness, just for once we are SO close to something amazing!
thefunkygibbons Posted 26 April, 2011 Posted 26 April, 2011 I am confident about this one, Plymouth worries me more to be fair
beatlesaint Posted 26 April, 2011 Posted 26 April, 2011 Personally I'd go with this but also swap Butterfield for Richardson. Too bloody right, Butterfield must come in for Richardson.
Cricketphilly Posted 26 April, 2011 Posted 26 April, 2011 We will win this game, no problem. The team are playing confident, winning football and management appear content and in control.
doddisalegend Posted 26 April, 2011 Posted 26 April, 2011 We will win this game, no problem. The team are playing confident, winning football and management appear content and in control. To be fair we were doing the same before they tonked us at SMS this season, I still think will win though becuase they've got very little to play for unlike us.
Lighthouse Posted 26 April, 2011 Posted 26 April, 2011 I am confident about this one, Plymouth worries me more to be fair If Plymouth need a win, that could go in our favour. If they just want a point, they will park the bus in front of the goal, but if they need all 3 they will probably come and have a go.
Matthew Le God Posted 26 April, 2011 Posted 26 April, 2011 (edited) Plymouth's squad is also very thin. Last match they only had 5 subs, two of which were youth team players. Before Saints play them, they have a feisty Devon derby two days earlier against Exeter. Where as Saints have the luxury of squad rotation, like swapping 3 of the back 4 in the last game through choice in order to rest them. Edited 26 April, 2011 by Matthew Le God
CitySaint Posted 26 April, 2011 Posted 26 April, 2011 Davis Butterfield Fonte Jaidi Harding Guly Chaplow Hammond Lallana Lambert Connolly Think the team pretty much picks itself at the moment, with a notable mention for Dickson who is playing well too.

If they just want a point, they will park the bus in front of the goal, but if they need all 3 they will probably come and have a go. Brings back bad visions of our first game this season. Plymouth one fecking attack one goal other than that they never left their own half, lets hope they need points.
View From The Top Posted 26 April, 2011 Posted 26 April, 2011 I'm so up for the coming weekend. Let's hope it pans out as we hope.
(not THE) Kevin Moore Posted 26 April, 2011 Posted 26 April, 2011 Brings back bad visions of our first game this season. Plymouth one fecking attack one goal other than that they never left their own half, lets hope they need points. Or Oldham last year... timewasting from their very first goal kick... what a frustrating 90 minutes that was!!!
saints-cris Posted 26 April, 2011 Author Posted 26 April, 2011 Or Oldham last year... timewasting from their very first goal kick... what a frustrating 90 minutes that was!!! One of the most anti-football performances ive seen!
Toomer Posted 26 April, 2011 Posted 26 April, 2011 We beat Brentford, Brighton beat Huddersfield get a point at Plymouth just to make sure let the party begin.
Window Cleaner Posted 26 April, 2011 Posted 26 April, 2011 Red and Green should never be seen, get the interior decorators round.
Lighthouse Posted 26 April, 2011 Posted 26 April, 2011 Or Oldham last year... timewasting from their very first goal kick... what a frustrating 90 minutes that was!!! My overriding memory of that game was it being 0-0 and Kelvin going up for a corner in the last minute. All the fans were egging him on. It really was win or bust that one. So frustrating
SNSUN Posted 26 April, 2011 Posted 26 April, 2011 Brentford have arse all to play for so we should win this. A draw is useless. Brighton to do us a favour, but it could be a last day decider. Eek, I just want to sleep until May 8th!
Saint_clark Posted 26 April, 2011 Posted 26 April, 2011 Apparently some Brentford fans want the to go all out to win this and then play the kids against Huddersfield...anyone got any idea why?
Ian the Red Posted 26 April, 2011 Posted 26 April, 2011 We beat Brentford, Brighton beat Huddersfield get a point at Plymouth just to make sure let the party begin. If Brighton beat Hudders and once we have beaten Brentford we dont even need a point @ Plymouth, its all over!! Our goal difference is 13 better than Hudders atm and will be even better after Saturday, at least 15, so not even Saints could manage to lose a +15 goal difference..... could they???/
Barry the Badger Posted 26 April, 2011 Posted 26 April, 2011 Apparently some Brentford fans want the to go all out to win this and then play the kids against Huddersfield...anyone got any idea why? They don't like us. Some nonsense about a cup game 5 years ago and ticket allocations.
Saint_clark Posted 26 April, 2011 Posted 26 April, 2011 A game that I reckon Southampton will sneak but I am looking forward to this one we can have a real say in who finishes second and would love to stop Southampton going up. I also expect thousands of ticketless Saints fans to be around the Brentford area also. The team hopefully will be Moore KOC Neilson Bush Wood Saunders Dave Reeves Weston Grabban Schulp I'm in the "lets beat/draw with Soton and play the kids against Huddersfield " camp , our season is over (has been since the JPT Final!!) , for some reason i can't see our players trying that hard away from home....(they'll make an effort at home as our fans will be on their backs) . We got scummers this week and udders next,so we could have a big shout in who takes second place, been thinking long and hard, i'll take a draw against soton, and an away win at udders, with a bit of luck they will bottle it last day of the season. What have we done to Brentford exactly?
Window Cleaner Posted 26 April, 2011 Posted 26 April, 2011 What have we done to Brentford exactly? nothing, except for gifting them a win at St Mary's that is.
doddisalegend Posted 26 April, 2011 Posted 26 April, 2011 What have we done to Brentford exactly? Ryan Dickson?
Window Cleaner Posted 26 April, 2011 Posted 26 April, 2011 Ryan Dickson? Right, tribunal fee only.They probably thought they'd get more.
