Minty Posted 20 March, 2012 Share Posted 20 March, 2012 I found myself agreeing with those who expect Reading and West Ham to win tonight, but now I just have this nagging doubt (albeit a good doubt!) Boro have been pretty poor of late. They were crap against Leeds and Birmingham after fairly routine wins vs Barnsley and the Skates. But Mowbray will be looking for a response, and couple that with West Ham's nerves and anxieties at home, I just wonder... As for Reading, no denying their form but Peterborough beat Blackpool in their last home game and showed up pretty well at in-form Ipswich. They've had a mixed bag but they're capable of pulling a result out. Could be an interesting evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fanimal Posted 20 March, 2012 Share Posted 20 March, 2012 If Carlsberg did Tuesday evening results - Reading and West Ham lose, we win, and Birmingham beat the blue few. Chances of that happening though? Very remote... The West Ham game is on TV, it will help pass the time rather than the anxiety in front of SSN, I always find the time goes quicker watching another match.

Jack Posted 20 March, 2012 Author Share Posted 20 March, 2012 I'm working nights in Exmouth so will have to endure the pain of listening to 5live's sloppy and late reporting on games, as they also try to commentate on the featured game, which I'm guessing will be WHU vs Boro. Not ideal but it'll pass some at work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as you promise to stop watching the game if Saints are behind with 15 minutes to go. We'd need to slow down time at that juncture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohwhenthesaints Posted 20 March, 2012 Share Posted 20 March, 2012 West Ham will win and Reading will draw. No idea about us though. I'd be happy with a draw I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Window Cleaner Posted 20 March, 2012 Share Posted 20 March, 2012 West Ham will win and Reading will draw. You obviously rate Peterborough far more highly than I do then. Awful side with nothing to play for. Can see Reading strolling to an easy 3-0 there.I also seem to remember reading that Barnsley would give Reading a hard time as well.

SuperMikey Posted 20 March, 2012 Share Posted 20 March, 2012 Best case scenario would be for Wet Sham to lose at home (again) and for Reading to either drop points or have Jason Roberts sent off. Don't particularly care about the rest (aside from Saints, obviously!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The West Ham game is on TV, it will help pass the time rather than the anxiety in front of SSN, I always find the time goes quicker watching another match. 114-1 to be precise I've put a bet on for you and if I win I'll buy you a Carlsberg next home game However you're right some pretty long odds there draws alround has more value. Saints are 2/1 for an away win which is bloody good value considering their home form.

saintscottofthenortham Posted 20 March, 2012 Share Posted 20 March, 2012 True but then again, not too far different from what a lot of posters were saying on here. It was their attitude with it though. Totally disregarding us and taking no account of the fact that we have been top 2 all season, leading the race for near as damn it all of it. Reading have had a **** easy last 9 games, done well granted, but calm down a bit. West Sham can't handle the pressure that their board and fans put on them, whilst we quietly go about our business. I really hope, purely for David Gold's constant need to be in the press and stating "when we get promoted" with regards to going back for a player, as if they will get promoted thisseason, because they are West Ham and nobody has the right to get in their way.

The top two spots are between three clubs, all others are just play off hopefuls. It's possible we may end up in the play offs but there is little point worrying who we would face.

To be fair he probably doesn't feel any threat from Blackpool or Cardiff now. More likely is he's doing the same thing as me and looking at the table with more excitement than a man with a Nun Boobs fetish in the matchday thread and thinking "Blackpool are 15 points behind us with only 7 games left, I can't believe it, we only have to win 2 games and they can't catch us. Wahhoooo". Maybe he won't do the "wahhoooo" like me, but you know what I mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree though you'd want teams that still have to face Reading/WHam to be pumped up and chasing the playoffs. Leicester and Burnley's seasons effectively ended tonight -and in a small way, Wham will be glad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicester and Burnley's seasons effectively ended tonight -and in a small way, Wham will be glad. You can overthink that kind of thing any which way. Teams who know they have got nothing but pride left quite often play with freedom and no fear, rather than a team under pressure to make the play offs. Extrapolating tonight's Burnley result into what that means for them when then subsequently face Reading (or WHU, no idea who is playing who) is peeling the onion to almost deranged levels. Hang in there people - we're going up anyway and Ipswich or Coventry's results tonight really won't have any impact on us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess its just that the cliche about teams tailing off as they thinking about the sun and the beach is as venerable as any in a sport littered with over-analysis and wishful thinking.

Brizzie Saints Posted 21 March, 2012 Share Posted 21 March, 2012 My only reason for analysing tonights results is to monitor the teams at the bottom, namely bristol c, cov, donny & perhaps forest. Apart from our success this season my only other hope is the demise of the Blue Few. Hopefully justice will be served. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
