Scudamore Posted 1 October, 2012 Share Posted 1 October, 2012 We've started with away days to Man City, Arsenal and Everton and managed sod all points. Not all that surprising really I guess since those are tough fixtures and it was our home form that got us over the line last year. But how many points do you think we'll secure in our travels overall this season? I'm gonna plump for sixteen... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpturner Posted 1 October, 2012 Share Posted 1 October, 2012 Is there a prize for getting it right? Otherwise, I can't see the point tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kraken Posted 1 October, 2012 Share Posted 1 October, 2012 It depends if we learn from our mistakes and adopt a tighter method of play or not. If we persist with Lallana and Ramirez playing alongside two other strikers then I think our away points are going to be exceptionally limited. If we learn how to shut up shop and keep it tight then we'll do better. I'll say 10 points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
get_rich Posted 1 October, 2012 Share Posted 1 October, 2012 Anyone know what our away points record in the Prem 1992-2005 was like I don't remember us getting too many wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scudamore Posted 1 October, 2012 Author Share Posted 1 October, 2012 Is there a prize for getting it right? Otherwise, I can't see the point tbh I think the same thing most days when I log on here to be honest. Only prize is to watch as a sparkling discussion on our likely away form slides into pointless slanging match with the usual suspects trotting out the same tired old lines. Oh and let's say a Twix shall we? Can't say fairer than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can tell you how to find out. Soccerway.com. Go to Premier League. Change to the season you'd like with the drop down on the right hand side. Then just above the league table you click on the word wide. This brings up the full table. Fill ya boots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Le God Posted 1 October, 2012 Share Posted 1 October, 2012 2002/03 when Saints came 8th in the Premier League... 4 away wins 5 away draws 10 away defeats In 2012/13 lets not write Saints off after away defeats at Arsenal, Man City and Everton!

We have better attacking players than a lot of teams around us. We need to go and try to take advantage of the fact that home teams generally play more openly. It won't generally work but I reckon we will catch some teams cold to pick up some crucial away wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thedelldays Posted 2 October, 2012 Share Posted 2 October, 2012 we are going to have to win away this season...at least once and probably pick up about 3 draws......(relying a bit on home performance) to do that we are going to have to get smart.......we are not. we are far too open...for too gung ho...far too stupid...

Jonnyboy Posted 2 October, 2012 Share Posted 2 October, 2012 3 wins 4 draws. Norwich, QPR & Reading for the wins. I'd agree at 13 or 14 points. That twix is in the bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint-Fred Posted 2 October, 2012 Share Posted 2 October, 2012 Didn't Adkins say he was looking for 4 wins on the road? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syd_barrett_saint Posted 2 October, 2012 Share Posted 2 October, 2012 I think we'll beat West Ham, Norwich, Wigan, Villa and QPR on the road. And probably pick up a few draws. So my prediction is 15 to 20 points away from home. 10 wins at home makes 30 points. So 45 to 50 points this season, enough to keep us safe.

syd_barrett_saint Posted 2 October, 2012 Share Posted 2 October, 2012 have we ever got 20 points on the rd in the prem..? Probably not. According to MLG above we got 17 points away from home the year we finished 8th. But last time we were in the Prem we were not so good going forward and went away from home looking for backs to the wall performances, where a point was a good result. I actually think our gung ho attitude, with quality attacking players like Lambert, Ramirez, Lallana and Mayuka, will see us win more games away from home than back then. And winning a few and losing the majority is better than picking up away draws here and there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
