stanthemanfairoak Posted 14 April, 2012 Posted 14 April, 2012 FITZHUGH FELLA HAS HAD ENOUGH burnt out by it all.
stanthemanfairoak Posted 14 April, 2012 Posted 14 April, 2012 Get yourself to London Road on Tuesday if you haven't already got a ticket! The boys need the support. We'll still do this!best be going then.
JRM Posted 14 April, 2012 Posted 14 April, 2012 Going to peterborough and Middlesbrough, I hope for the best but fear for the worst
K,Billy's supersound Posted 14 April, 2012 Posted 14 April, 2012 more confident about the next games being away from home and our negative groaning fans. think we will only draw the next two and it will all come down to the last day against coventry which we will win.
Sour Mash Posted 14 April, 2012 Posted 14 April, 2012 How about the players like Fonte, Fox and Lallana doing the same ? Well we as fans have no control over that do we? But what we do have control over is what we as supporters do. We can set the mood and atmosphere. Pack London Road on Tuesday and absolutely rock the place for 90+minutes regardless of how the game is going. Keep the faith. We will do it.
Wiggles31 Posted 14 April, 2012 Posted 14 April, 2012 This is game is very similar to the Palace game. A team with nil to play for, using youngsters etc (like Palace) and in terrible form and letting in goals for fun. We need to play exactly how we have in the last two games (minus the suicidal passes ala Reading). Leeds had 16 shots, 10 on target so we really are playing a poor team. We need to watch out for Barnett and Taylor who are their two danger men. Mark them out and we should be ok. But especially Barnett we need to watch out for who is a similar styled player to Jason Roberts. We win this and promotion is within touching distance. Lets not forget the pressure is significantly more on Wham who have a tougher game at Bristol City (as we experienced and who also held out for a 0 - 0 draw at Upton). We play like we did against Reading and we'll get maximum points. Lets get behind the team on Tuesday!! COYR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Finally just some last facts to hopefully raise some positivity: - we were under more pressure from Huddersfield last season and held out for promotion - we always respond well to defeat under Adkins - were still 3 points clear and have a slightly better GD - we have been in the top two all frickin season and there is only 3 games left
S-Clarke Posted 14 April, 2012 Posted 14 April, 2012 - we were under more pressure from Huddersfield last season and held out for promotion - we always respond well to defeat under Adkins - were still 3 points clear and have a slightly better GD - we have been in the top two all frickin season and there is only 3 games left Absolutely this!!! You have it all spot on there. People are forgetting last season already, it was so much tighter than it is now but we got over the line by winning at places you never expected us to.
chivvy1664 Posted 14 April, 2012 Posted 14 April, 2012 Im poo ing myself here. But have to agree Peterborough are a bit rubbish.
Wiggles31 Posted 14 April, 2012 Posted 14 April, 2012 And Reading have won nothing yet. COYR (and Forest, Palace and Brum)!!
Saints Warrior Posted 14 April, 2012 Posted 14 April, 2012 Just ordered my Ticket and Coach for Peterborough. I agree this is like a Palce game, a possible tough one but also a possible 3 points if Saints play their game and stick a few chances away. Long trip so lots of time to go over the stats before we get there and lots of time to do the same on way back when we win!...hopfully. Lets hope the players have not had a knock back from the reading game.
chip Posted 14 April, 2012 Posted 14 April, 2012 What's with all the doom and gloom, we are 3pts ahead of wham, we can still lose a game they can't afford any slip ups. Bristol city won't be easy knowing a win with guarantee safety for them and Leicester with ex saints boss won't roll over. I'd rather have the points than be in west hams position. They could still win all there remaining games and still not go up....so UNTIL such time we ly in 3rd I will still believe and remain positive after all we outplayed reading but were just not as clynical. Together as one in what has been a fantastic season already
Leicestersaint Posted 14 April, 2012 Posted 14 April, 2012 There is a lot of pressure now for a win at Posh - can we put the chances away??
S-Clarke Posted 14 April, 2012 Posted 14 April, 2012 If Billy Paynter (Paynter FFS???) can score a brace against them, we surely have every chance.
S-Clarke Posted 14 April, 2012 Posted 14 April, 2012 http://www.101greatgoals.com/gvideos/leeds-4-peterborough-1/ Rickie and Sharp will be drooling over that standard of defending.
CanadaSaint Posted 14 April, 2012 Posted 14 April, 2012 Rickie and Sharp will be drooling over that standard of defending. Mind you, the Posh lot might be drooling over ours!
St Chalet Posted 14 April, 2012 Posted 14 April, 2012 Getting up from behind my keyboard to attend this one. Confident we will pick up three points.
Bailey Posted 14 April, 2012 Posted 14 April, 2012 The bed wetters on here are most probably the same people that were throwing their dummies out the pram after our 3-0 defeat at the hands of Blackpool, and the same people that were then saying we're as good as promoted after the Palace victory. I've had enough of the negativity on here. Look at the league from an objective point of view. We're 3 points clear of 3rd, with 3 games to go. We need to win 2 to guarantee promotion. Thankfully, I have every confidence that Nigel and the team won't get caught up in the heat of the moment, they'll look at the bigger picture, stay calm, collected and get the job done on Tuesday. People need to seriously get some perspective. It's not all doom and gloom, and you know what, I bet you now that the people who are slating the team for 'blowing it' will be on here come 10pm Tuesday saying how fantastic the boys were after beating Posh. This Saints side has earned our backing, our faith and our support. Get behind the lads! We're in a fantastic position. Flip today's results into a positive. Maybe it will serve as a timely reminded that we cannot afford to slip up, but it's currently STILL IN OUR HANDS. Let's do this! Keep the faith, support the lads and COME ON YOU ****ING REDS! Ps. Apologies for the motivational, happy-clappy rant, but the negativity on here is overwhelming.
Bailey Posted 14 April, 2012 Posted 14 April, 2012 And you know what, even if the unthinkable happens and we lost on Tuesday, IT'S STILL IN OUR OWN HANDS! Granted, we would have made it hard for ourselves, but it's by no means out the question that we could beat Boro and Cov. Who knows, we may even win all 3 and win the league still! KEEP THE FAITH! Rant over.
Raging Bull Posted 14 April, 2012 Posted 14 April, 2012 I know our home forms been great but maybe the pressure will be eased slightly by playing away.
richie Posted 14 April, 2012 Posted 14 April, 2012 look this is not a must win game. Just match west ham's result and its another game chalked off.
darren Posted 14 April, 2012 Posted 14 April, 2012 I don't think west ham will beat bristol city tough place to go when there in form.
Wilf Posted 14 April, 2012 Posted 14 April, 2012 I have every confidence that Nigel and the team won't get caught up in the heat of the moment, they'll look at the bigger picture, stay calm, collected and get the job done on Tuesday....

Brilliant!....that's pretty much what I was going to write....
Raging Bull Posted 14 April, 2012 Posted 14 April, 2012 I don't think west ham will beat bristol city tough place to go when there in form. Dude they've scored 9 in their last 2 games, the cvnts are hitting form at the right time
alpine_saint Posted 14 April, 2012 Posted 14 April, 2012 If it comes to that - I don't fancy us at all to be honest. We are a footballing side (as we showed yesterday) but when that fails we don't have the toughness to force a result. Pretty football is not whats needed in the playoffs. It's sh it or bust now - we either do it or bottle it and find ourselves in this league for some years to come. This. We wont get throught the playoffs if we end up 3rd.
The Kraken Posted 14 April, 2012 Posted 14 April, 2012 This. We wont get throught the playoffs if we end up 3rd. So, this season, you're not advocating aiming for the playoffs instead of automatic promotion? Good to know.
alpine_saint Posted 14 April, 2012 Posted 14 April, 2012 So, this season, you're not advocating aiming for the playoffs instead of automatic promotion? Good to know. Were we top 2 all last season ? Youre just making stupid comments now.
The Kraken Posted 14 April, 2012 Posted 14 April, 2012 Were we top 2 all last season ? Youre just making stupid comments now. Can you spell irony?
darren Posted 14 April, 2012 Posted 14 April, 2012 Dude they've scored 9 in their last 2 games, the cvnts are hitting form at the right time We won 4 in a row with 12 goals then lost to bristol city.
alpine_saint Posted 14 April, 2012 Posted 14 April, 2012 Can you spell irony? Ok. Lets see how we feel about this subject in a few weeks time. I am predicting we will be hammered if we go into the playoffs. In the meantime, save your baiting for someone else.
Dr Who? Posted 14 April, 2012 Posted 14 April, 2012 Win Tuesday and I think we will go up! I think I might also have to get my arse up to Middlesborough. Let's face it, it is very possible that we will get 4 points, or even West Ham slipping up. I have the terrible fear that, that late goal against the skates we could be reminded about time and time again. As you can probably tell from this post my head is all over the place, and like others on here, we do not have a clue what is going to happen, and let's face it, we can only turn up to games and really it is out of our hands as fans.
Raging Bull Posted 14 April, 2012 Posted 14 April, 2012 We won 4 in a row with 12 goals then lost to bristol city. Fair point, not holding any hope what so ever though. Feel free to come on here and abuse me if BC win.
Dr Who? Posted 14 April, 2012 Posted 14 April, 2012 Ok. Lets see how we feel about this subject in a few weeks time. I am predicting we will be hammered if we go into the playoffs. In the meantime, save your baiting for someone else. I agree with you on this. The playoffs we will fold, being 2nd all season, and ending in 3rd will be far to much to pick up from!

How frustrating is it that its come to this ? 2 weeks ago, we had everything under control. What a screw up.
S-Clarke Posted 14 April, 2012 Posted 14 April, 2012 How frustrating is it that its come to this ? 2 weeks ago, we had everything under control. What a screw up. If you thought we had it all tied up a few weeks ago, then more fool you. It was never going to be straight forward. There were going to be twists and turns and there still will be. and even after those twists and turns we sit in pole position for the prize. It will only be a screw up if we actually do fail, until then I have all faith in the management and the players to get us over the line. Perhaps you need to start having some faith.
teamsaint Posted 14 April, 2012 Posted 14 April, 2012 sorry, must have dropped off and missed the last 3 games of the season? shame , because when I dozed off we were second, three points clear of 3rd, and with a decent chance of getting promotion.
Dr Who? Posted 14 April, 2012 Posted 14 April, 2012 Last time West Ham lost away was 31st January to Ipswich 5-1!!! Now I would like Bristol City to repeat this result with us getting a 3-0 away win...... I can dream!

Where did I say we had it all tied up ? Jesus, what is with the standard of reading on here ? I said "under control" meaning the job wasnt done but what was needed was clear and not complex to prepare for. This team, imo, have been having major focus issues the last couple of weeks. I think they have been thinking its all tied up. As for your faith comment, no way. Saints have snatched defeat from the jaws of victory far too many times in my lifetime for that. Sorry, my self-protection mechanism has well-and-truly kicked in after yesterday.
Dr Who? Posted 14 April, 2012 Posted 14 April, 2012 How frustrating is it that its come to this ? 2 weeks ago, we had everything under control. What a screw up. Hang on a minute, I am sure West Ham would think they have screwed things up, and we were thinking the same in December and January. Only 3 games left but still lots of twists. West Ham will drop points, we just need to make sure we get back with a win on Tuesday.

alpine_saint Posted 14 April, 2012 Posted 14 April, 2012 how did the "focus issues" manifest themselves at palace, exactly? Crap team. Even a bunch of mercenaries motivated by spite instead of talent managed to make us drop 2 points last weekend.
Cestrian Saint Posted 14 April, 2012 Posted 14 April, 2012 I think WHU will win their remaining 3 fixtures. This means we need 2 wins from the last 3 and hope that we score plenty of goals too. GULP!
Phil 71 Posted 14 April, 2012 Posted 14 April, 2012 look this is not a must win game. Just match west ham's result and its another game chalked off.Blackpool away was regarded as a "not a must win game" or a "free hit", how we could do with having got at least a draw there now!! Surely we must treat the last 3 games as must win!?!!
Legod Third Coming Posted 14 April, 2012 Posted 14 April, 2012 People who are slating and questioning a team and manager who have taken us on a ride from 22nd in League One to 2nd in the Championship need to take a long hard look at themselves. Long and hard...
Appy Posted 14 April, 2012 Posted 14 April, 2012 I think WHU will win their remaining 3 fixtures. This means we need 2 wins from the last 3 and hope that we score plenty of goals too. GULP! What a shock.
Kingsbridge Saint Posted 15 April, 2012 Posted 15 April, 2012 We have every chance of winning the last 3. if we do that west Ham can beat everyone 6-0 it won't make a difference. In fact we can afford to drop 2 somewhere and it still won't matter. I have every faith in Nigel and the boys to see this through. Not to say I'm not feeling the pressure like everyone else.
Wiggles31 Posted 15 April, 2012 Posted 15 April, 2012 I think WHU will win their remaining 3 fixtures. This means we need 2 wins from the last 3 and hope that we score plenty of goals too. GULP! WHU HAVE to win 3 in a row we don't, and they have to score more goals than us, so let's wait and see. We're still in a strong position....
westmidlandsaint Posted 15 April, 2012 Posted 15 April, 2012 Our bench on Friday night contained 3 defenders Harding, Richardson & Martin I would have liked to have seen Yago Falque on the bench someone that could unlock a defence a bit more creativity, so far he has been a complete waste of a loan bigger teams will stop loaning us players if we never play them
wild-saint Posted 15 April, 2012 Posted 15 April, 2012 Ok. Lets see how we feel about this subject in a few weeks time. I am predicting we will be hammered if we go into the playoffs. In the meantime, save your baiting for someone else. to be fair your predictions arent worth considering. if you totted up the points you had predicted every gane this season we would have been relegated by xmas.
