Golac's Iron Gonads Posted 2 September, 2011 Share Posted 2 September, 2011 I think play offs. But based on the games I've seen we've a real chance of automatic promotion barring a spate of injuries all occurring in the same perod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1976_Child Posted 2 September, 2011 Share Posted 2 September, 2011 I think play offs. But based on the games I've seen we've a real chance of automatic promotion barring a spate of injuries all occurring in the same perod. you are kidding, right? Automatic promotion? That is the funniest thing I've ever heard! We are going to struggle to stay in the top half of the table. 5 games gone and a lucky start is all. May I remind you all that Blackpool were in the top 4 of the Prem after their first 5 games last season. And now where are they? All this hubris about having a good squad. Yes, fine, they are better than most div 3 sides. But please, get grounded. This is not a Championship winning team, as exciting and thrilling as they are to watch. Get grounded. Mid table is a good result, fighting to stay up is highly probable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golac's Iron Gonads Posted 2 September, 2011 Share Posted 2 September, 2011 Nope, not kidding. Just an opinion based on what I've seen of Saints (90 minutes) against Leeds, Torquay, Millwall, and what I've seen of Leicester, Blackpool and the other challengers (granted it's only been TV highlights). Enjoy your season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingsbridge Saint Posted 2 September, 2011 Share Posted 2 September, 2011 7th to 12th but opinion trending upwards rather than downwards. If we go injury free all season, should make the top 6, so that might be a good target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastleighSoulBoy Posted 4 September, 2011 Share Posted 4 September, 2011 I feel we are capable of making the playoffs.

Dalek2003 Posted 4 September, 2011 Share Posted 4 September, 2011 I have it on good authority that we are going to finish 17th. So I've put my house on it. Wow, great minds think alike ! We have had a good start and I think that this will help but we will gradually slip down the table towards the end of the season. 17th, but comfortable, in that we will not be flirting with relegation.

The Kraken Posted 4 September, 2011 Share Posted 4 September, 2011 Without signing a dominant centre half and top centre forward, I think we'll finish 7th or 8th. I have doubts Connolly can carry on with his scoring, and still not sure about Barnard at this level. But with Lallana, Guly and our other attacking options I think we'll do ok. But in defence I think we could get found out a bit, and if we're without Fonte for any significant stretch we could get properly undone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, and now with Seaborne out for goodness knows how long and a complete unknown of a signing (who, lets be honest, isn't setting pulses racing) it could be our problem area.

I'm actually looking forward to seeing Barnard having a crack at the champ. Is he good enough who knows? but he deserves his chance IMO. Then again plenty of players are coming up from the lower leagues and seem to be doing alright at this level I'm starting to think the step up from league 1 to championship isn't as big as I thought it was going to be.

Matthew Le God Posted 5 September, 2011 Share Posted 5 September, 2011 17th, but comfortable, in that we will not be flirting with relegation. - Last season the team that finished 17th (Barnsley) had 56 points after 46 games. - Currently Saints have 12 from 5 games. So you think Saints will only pick up roughly 44 points from the remaining 41 games? Based on last seasons 17th placed team's record, that would be something like... Play 41 Win 10 Draw 14 Lose 17 I think you are being extremely pessimistic if you think that is how the next 41 League games will go for Saints!

SNSUN Posted 5 September, 2011 Share Posted 5 September, 2011 Dan Seaborne WILL be a loss, I hope our new loanee can settle straight into his position until January when we can reassess our position and squad.

SaintJackoInHurworth Posted 5 September, 2011 Share Posted 5 September, 2011 I think we will finish somewhere in the top half and have the potential to finish in the automatic places if we can remain largely injury-free, especially if Hooiveld turns out to be a class signing or Aaron Martin develops another notch and forms a great relationship with Fonte. However, should Fonte get injured we could struggle defensively. I think, however, that we will continue to create and score a lot of goals and cannot see that being a problem. So, even if Fonte gets injured we could always do a 'Peterborough' by outscoring our opponents! Consequently I have voted 'play-offs'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wade Garrett Posted 6 September, 2011 Share Posted 6 September, 2011 I hope I'm wrong, but our failure to land a front man in the window could come back and haunt us. I think we could challenge for a play-off spot but it depends on injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohio Saint Posted 8 September, 2011 Share Posted 8 September, 2011 I voted auto promotion. Having said that, I do realise that I had my happy hat on at the time. I think promotion is a realistic option IF NA can maintain the terrific team spirit we seem to have at the moment. I believe he can maintain it based on the slow, steady rise in team confidence that he achieved last year. Sure, we have a couple of gaps in the squad, but I think a good spirit can overcome that problem for a good many of the games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
