SO16_Saint Posted 30 April, 2011 Posted 30 April, 2011 Forget Huddersfield beating Brighton and not going up today. We will get the required points on Minday. COYR
Thedelldays Posted 30 April, 2011 Posted 30 April, 2011 We can not be promoted on Monday. HTH all but with a win
Matthew Le God Posted 30 April, 2011 Posted 30 April, 2011 We can not be promoted on Monday. HTH Pretty much promoted though. Would need a monumental goal difference swing if Saints win at Plymouth for them not to go up.
SO16_Saint Posted 30 April, 2011 Author Posted 30 April, 2011 We can not be promoted on Monday. HTH All bar the shouting and a monumental **** up. HTH
Saint_Donovan Posted 30 April, 2011 Posted 30 April, 2011 If we win on Monday, Huddersfield will need to make up around a 17 goal difference in the final game so I think we can safely say we are effectively up.
benjii Posted 30 April, 2011 Posted 30 April, 2011 We can not be promoted on Monday. HTH Do you think Huddersfield are going to beat Brentford 10-0? If you do, you must also think we are going to lose to Walsall by at least 6 goals if you don't think we are up with a win on Monday.
S-Clarke Posted 30 April, 2011 Posted 30 April, 2011 God, we really do need to do the job on plymouth. Otherwise this Walsall game will be one heck of a game. Walsall for their league 1 survival and us for league 1 promotion. You couldn't have wrote this script! what an amazing end to the season. Who buckles under the pressure first???? Unbelievable Huddersfield, fair play to them. What an effort.
saint lard Posted 30 April, 2011 Posted 30 April, 2011 Please god let us win on Monday,i so don't want to go into the last game needing a result. I just want to enjoy the day with my little lads first game.
saints-cris Posted 30 April, 2011 Posted 30 April, 2011 Win on Monday and that will be that. Gunna take somethin extraordinary otherwise. We would have needed a win on Monday to make its official if hudds had drawn today anyway. Nothing has changed really, jus a bit of a pain. Brighton are wimping out, could end up only 2 points clear of us.
Thedelldays Posted 30 April, 2011 Posted 30 April, 2011 brighton are so annoying...they battered hudds but all 3 of the goals they gave away sounded like comedy defending... ffs....
Saint_clark Posted 30 April, 2011 Posted 30 April, 2011 I start work at 5 on monday, very annoying. Will miss the last 20 minutes of the second half at least.
S-Clarke Posted 30 April, 2011 Posted 30 April, 2011 brighton are so annoying...they battered hudds but all 3 of the goals they gave away sounded like comedy defending... ffs.... They will be ****ed in the championship. They've struggled against any team with a decent attack this year.
saint lard Posted 30 April, 2011 Posted 30 April, 2011 We could have a very big say in who goes down.Both Plymouth and Walsall have a hell of alot to play for as we stand.
Thedelldays Posted 30 April, 2011 Posted 30 April, 2011 We could have a very big say in who goes down.Both Plymouth and Walsall have a hell of alot to play for. by all accounts..plymouth were dreadful today....
benjii Posted 30 April, 2011 Posted 30 April, 2011 I just hope we are done and dusted in good time on Monday... any late drama could make it uncomfortable for any Saints fans in the home sections....
paulwantsapint Posted 30 April, 2011 Posted 30 April, 2011 monday should be a hell of a game plymouth will have to come out & attack which means we can play them on the counter which should suit our style
acersaint Posted 30 April, 2011 Posted 30 April, 2011 I agree the fact that Plymouth have to win to stay up has to be in our favour. will be much easier to break them down. Come on Saints you will do it!!!!
St Marco Posted 30 April, 2011 Posted 30 April, 2011 Great result today but we really must win it on monday. Reason i think that is Walsall have become a bastard team who grind out draws away. They will need to win to stay up so they will be coming fired up. Drawn 4 of their last 5 away games. Plymouth have a decent recent home record, winning 4 of the last 5. But i think their defeat today will make them know it's over. They have to win both their remaining games and then hope others lose. So i think they will be there for the taking. A loss or a draw will make the last game a real nervous one. It will be like that Sheff Utd game. I think i might have a heart attack if we go through that again....
Armitage Shanks Posted 30 April, 2011 Posted 30 April, 2011 What is clear is that a point is no use to either team on Monday. After today Walsall will need to come to us next weekend needing to win to be sure of staying up. This will suit us in both games.
Draino76 Posted 30 April, 2011 Posted 30 April, 2011 brighton are so annoying...they battered hudds but all 3 of the goals they gave away sounded like comedy defending... ffs.... Indeed.
Matthew Le God Posted 30 April, 2011 Posted 30 April, 2011 What is clear is that a point is no use to either team on Monday. Is it? What if Huddersfield draw with Brentford and Saints lose to Walsall? A draw with Plymouth then would be of a lot of use to Saints.
benjii Posted 30 April, 2011 Posted 30 April, 2011 What is clear is that a point is no use to either team on Monday. After today Walsall will need to come to us next weekend needing to win to be sure of staying up. This will suit us in both games. Could be useful for us if Huddersfield draw against Brentford. But it's certainly not a target!
Micky Posted 30 April, 2011 Posted 30 April, 2011 They will be ****ed in the championship. They've struggled against any team with a decent attack this year. Don't quite see the logic in that - whether we like it or not - they are Champions, and they have won it with games to spare. Therefore, it has hardly been a struggle for them. I can understand people being hacked off about thier result today, but let's face it - thier work is done and they've ****ed off on holiday. We do ours on Monday and we can join them on the beach for the last game.
Armitage Shanks Posted 30 April, 2011 Posted 30 April, 2011 Could be useful for us if Huddersfield draw against Brentford. But it's certainly not a target! Huddersfield will not draw at home to Brentford. I'm willing to have a bet with anyone on that if they want to take it.
sussexsaint Posted 30 April, 2011 Posted 30 April, 2011 I fecking hate the playoffs, if it wasn't for them then we would be home and hosed and so would Udders who TBH deserve to go up as well
Ziggy Posted 30 April, 2011 Posted 30 April, 2011 Three o'clock kick off on Monday. Not a relaxing Bank Holiday then!
sussexsaint Posted 30 April, 2011 Posted 30 April, 2011 BTW was there a post match interview with Adkins, did he mention Gulys injuy?
S-Clarke Posted 30 April, 2011 Posted 30 April, 2011 BTW was there a post match interview with Adkins, did he mention Gulys injuy? Interview atm... Guly just felt tightness in his leg, Harding had a whack on his hip. Nothing too bad by the sounds of it.
Dalek2003 Posted 30 April, 2011 Posted 30 April, 2011 Huddersfield will not draw at home to Brentford. I'm willing to have a bet with anyone on that if they want to take it. Depends on our result at Plymouth, if we win then the sensible thing would be to rest their players ready for the Play Offs.
sussexsaint Posted 30 April, 2011 Posted 30 April, 2011 Depends on our result at Plymouth, if we win then the sensible thing would be to rest their players ready for the Play Offs. despite some of the lunatic replies on here this is exactly what I would expect, if we win we are up they have a playoff to win
SFC Forever Posted 30 April, 2011 Posted 30 April, 2011 They would be gutted but have shown that they have been able to maintain the run. Clear third best team in the league.
SNSUN Posted 30 April, 2011 Posted 30 April, 2011 Three o'clock kick off on Monday. Not a relaxing Bank Holiday then! Mad rush home from work for me - I finish at 3!
Thedelldays Posted 30 April, 2011 Posted 30 April, 2011 im still furious from listening to the brighton game....it would not be as bad if they were poor..but they battered huddersfield and gave them 3 goals...
Andy Durman Posted 30 April, 2011 Posted 30 April, 2011 We owe Plymouth for the first game of the season.
Andy Durman Posted 30 April, 2011 Posted 30 April, 2011 For the record 2 more wins and we will equal 2 points a game average which is a huge achievement
Saint_John Posted 30 April, 2011 Posted 30 April, 2011 The Ref on Monday is due to be :- K A Woolmer (Andy) from Northamptonshire. A postman who keeps fit by walking his route. He was in charge of the Hull v Palace game today. I don't think he has seen us play well in recent seasons. This season : H v Rochdale 0-2. Last season : a v millwall 1-1 08/09 season : H v Doncastler 1-2. However we won with him on 17Apr2006 H v Millwall 2-0. imo the Football League are giving us nothing, the players and fans are going to have to roll up our sleeves and battle again. For info he has reffed 5 times AT Plymouth in recent seasons 06Mar2010 v Preston 1-1; 27Sep2009 v Forest 0-1; 21Feb09 v Sheff U 2-2; 13Sep08 v Norwich 1-2 and 12Feb08 Barnsley 3-0. So he has a record of 1-2-2 with them. He claims the Best Game he was in charge was a 3-2 away win for Orient :- What is the best game you have officiated and why? Oxford United v Leyton Orient the last game of the 2005/06. It was a must win game for both teams for Oxford winning would have meant Football League survival and for Leyton Orient a win guaranteed them promotion to League One. It was a fantastic action packed game to referee and I was pleased that the feedback that I received from the assessor was very positive (Leyton Orient went on to win the match.) http://refworld.com/referee/162/1
darren Posted 30 April, 2011 Posted 30 April, 2011 Have we won 5 in a row this season ? I'am going to the walsall game so please please beat plymouth so i can enjoy the last game of the season. Thankin you very much.
mitch01 Posted 30 April, 2011 Posted 30 April, 2011 Anybody else have a sneaky desire for us to need the win on the final day? Imagine the roar if/when we put the ball in the net... Probably just me.
SNSUN Posted 30 April, 2011 Posted 30 April, 2011 Anybody else have a sneaky desire for us to need the win on the final day? Imagine the roar if/when we put the ball in the net... Probably just me. No. Win against Plymouth, party all day Saturday. (Plus we still won't be mathmatically up even if we do beat Plymouth so still something to play for.) I don't think my heart can cope with leaving it to the last day of the season. (We shouldn't need to.)
dune Posted 30 April, 2011 Posted 30 April, 2011 It wont be easy at Plymouth. Desperate that we do win though so the pressure is off next Saturday.
beatlesaint Posted 30 April, 2011 Posted 30 April, 2011 Have we won 5 in a row this season ? Yes we have, 4 in the League and one Cup game (Blackpool)
Colinjb Posted 30 April, 2011 Posted 30 April, 2011 Anybody else have a sneaky desire for us to need the win on the final day? Imagine the roar if/when we put the ball in the net... Probably just me. I was thinking the same when it was 2-2 at the Withdean. I was mourning the atmosphere that would be lost on the final day. Talk about be careful what you wish for...... I would have liked nothing more for the game to have been a dead rubber now.
View From The Top Posted 30 April, 2011 Posted 30 April, 2011 I've been saying all season we'd go up and I've been saying since the game was rearranged that we'd achieve it at Plymouth.
Nexstar Posted 30 April, 2011 Posted 30 April, 2011 "You could see today that the players are absolutely knackered and I can't blame them to be honest. Good effort lads, the squad is just to small to allow players to have rest periods." That's from the Plymouth forum. I guess in terms of rests for us I'd go Seaborne in for Jaidi, Butterfield to start instead of Richardson and perhaps Stephens for Chaplow? We do have a fair bit of strength-in-depth, so hopefully that will win out on the day. Going to be very interesting to see how Adkins plays it, as Plymouth will be all-out attack - no question. Do we try and hold out and catch them on the counter (with the likes of Connolly and Lallana ripping them) or do we also go all-out attack and see where we are at half-time? Personally i'd try and hold tight to wear them down and pound them second half.
