Lighthouse Posted 21 January, 2012 Share Posted 21 January, 2012 Saints not in action until Monday, but there are some very important games going on which will affect us. West Ham look likely to know us off the top for the first time in months, assuming they get anything from their home game with Forest. Here's the fixtures and what we're after Barnsley vs Millwall - Away win Brum vs Watford - Away win Blackpool vs Palace - Draw or away win Bristol vs Doncaster - Irrelevant Burnley vs Derby - Draw Cardiff vs Pompey - As painful as it is to say it, away win Coventry vs Boro - Home win Leeds vs Ipswich - Away win Posh vs Brompey - Home win Reading vs Hull - Draw Wham vs Forest - Away win I can quite easily see Pompey and Cloterill just collapsing somehow. Any chance of sticky? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SNSUN Posted 21 January, 2012 Share Posted 21 January, 2012 Come on Forest, Portsmouth and Coventry! Erm, we haven't got a hope. The three teams below us will all win. I also think Birmingham will beat Watford although Watford could scrape a draw in that game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ericofarabia Posted 21 January, 2012 Share Posted 21 January, 2012 Excuse me but screw the DCSB's - hope Cardiff stuff them - we are in control of our own destiny - and if/when The DCSB's fold the reults get expunged and Baardiff lose the 3 points anyway!!

SNSUN Posted 21 January, 2012 Share Posted 21 January, 2012 Coventry could draw with Boro although with the form they're in this seems unlikely. Very unlikely, which is why I believe the top 4 will all win this weekend. (We can stuff Cardiff at the end of the month anyway...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lighthouse Posted 21 January, 2012 Author Share Posted 21 January, 2012 Do we really care about Barnsley v Millwall? No, but Barnsley are 10 points closer to us, so I went with that. I think the best we can hope for there is a shed load of injuries and suspensions for Millwall ahead of next weeks cup tie. It is looking like a pretty bad weekend for us based purely on the fixtures, but there is normally at least one cock up amongst the top teams. Who would have given Bristol City a prayer at St Mary's (apart from Saints fans). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Clarke Posted 21 January, 2012 Share Posted 21 January, 2012 come on forest...! We've lost in games that were nailed wins already this season, and this league is very very unpredictable so never result is ''guaranteed'' - forest have a chance.

We've lost in games that were nailed wins already this season, and this league is very very unpredictable so never result is ''guaranteed'' - forest have a chance. No, Forest DON'T have a chance. They are abysmal. Their recent results show they couldn't beat anyone right now. I'd settle for Saints matching (or beating) Wham's score today. I'd settle for maintaining a lead on goal difference by Monday 10pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beavis17 Posted 21 January, 2012 Share Posted 21 January, 2012 I'm not sure about the injury or suspension situations but there is no Boyd for Peterborough, no Kebe for Reading, no Clyne or Zaha for Palace and Maynard is on the bench for Bristol City's home game against Donny today...

Lighthouse Posted 21 January, 2012 Author Share Posted 21 January, 2012 Significant half time scores Wham 0-0 Forest Cardiff 1-1 Skates Brum 1-0 Watford Coventry 1-0 Boro Reading 0-0 Hull That's a great half IMO. Our 6 closest rivals for promotion and only Brum are winning at the moment. I'd taken those scores at FT any day of the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
