eurosaint Posted 11 February, 2013 Share Posted 11 February, 2013 Bottom of the league teams? Not so sure about this. I am expecting us to kick on to mid table at least at the moment! This thread is going to be so irrelevant in 2-3 weeks Also - Stoke, WBA and West Ham have all been in terrible form over the past 6 games. We'll overtake the mid-table teams at this rate! But for the record, this is what I think we can achieve if we continue in the form we are in. SOUTHAMPTON Fixtures - 27 points February 23 Newcastle (A) Saints WIN 2-1 March 2: QPR (H) Saints WIN 4-0 March 9: Norwich (A) Saints WIN 2-1 March 16: Liverpool (H) DRAW - 2-2 March 30 Chelsea (H) LOSS (I sense Chelsea revenge may be on the cards!) 1-2 April 6: Reading (A) Saints WIN - 2-1.All you have to do with Reading is not switch of in the last 10 minutes. April 13: West Ham (H) Saints WIN - 3-1. April 20: Swansea (A) LOSS - Swans are motoring this season April 27: West Brom (H) Saints WIN 3-1. WBA form is awful. May 4: Tottenham (A) Saints LOSS 2-1. Spuds are firing on all cylinders. May 12: Sunderland (A) Saints LOSS 2-1. Sunderland will be struggling and its a long trip. May 19: Stoke (H) Saints WIN 3-1. Stoke are in poor form. 22 extra points putting us on 59, and a top half finish. Its possible, its really possible.

ToreSF Posted 19 February, 2013 Share Posted 19 February, 2013 Good display by Reading against Manure yesterday. Think they have a good chance of staying up.

Tokyo-Saint Posted 19 February, 2013 Share Posted 19 February, 2013 They seem to want NA as their next manager, sensible bunch. Other boards with vacancies seem to want bigger names. I guess 'Arry is the biggest name around and after he cocks it up they will want a decent manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lighthouse Posted 23 February, 2013 Share Posted 23 February, 2013 Readings run in starting to look very unpleasant now. They've bottled their first 6 pointer which puts massive pressure on their other 3. I really can't see any wins in their other games either, maybe Liverpool at home but the rest are all horrible. Relegation 6 pointers mixed in with trips to Goodison, OT and Emirates before we go up there at the start of April. Their comeback kings tag has been pretty much wiped out the last 2 games aswell.

Saint Garrett Posted 24 February, 2013 Author Share Posted 24 February, 2013 Think Reading and QPR are going down. The other spot could be between us, villa and Wigan.

ToreSF Posted 25 February, 2013 Share Posted 25 February, 2013 Next round for the bottom teams: Everton v. Reading Southampton v. QPR Wigan v. Liverpool Aston Villa v. Man. City. Very good chance for us to get a six point clearance to the drop. Can't see Reading getting more than a point, and either Villa or Wigan or both will loose. That leaves us to beat QPR.....

110_Persaint Posted 1 March, 2013 Share Posted 1 March, 2013 Reading are the dangerous team IMO. Wigan are very capable of a good run and dragging themselves out of it. Our only hope is for QPR,Villa (both doomed for me) and Reading to go down. If Reading miraculously stay up, then, well, let's just say I can't see Wigan taking their place...

Saint Garrett Posted 2 March, 2013 Author Share Posted 2 March, 2013 Don't know why but ever since I saw Wigan at St Marys I didnt think they'd get relegated - and I still don't.

monosaint Posted 3 March, 2013 Share Posted 3 March, 2013 My view is that it's easier for us to play the top teams than take on a side like QPR who put men behind the ball and look for quick breaks. Looked at the first half highlights on SKY and the commentator was commenting on our tendency to leave gaps at the back as the full backs push forward. They sucked us in and got us on the break.. I don't think QPR dominated any part of the game even after they scored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think QPR dominated any part of the game even after they scored. QPR are in a totally false position due to Hughes' ineptitude. It's still probably too late for them though but they have good players and a manager who knows what he's doing. There are plenty of players at QPR that I'd swap for ours. Traore for instance, far better than either Fox or Shaw in his present state, key player for them, shut Punch and Clyne right down.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNSUN Posted 3 March, 2013 Share Posted 3 March, 2013 Yesterday was an easy win chance gone by as a loss, but I still think, in spite of yesterday, we need 4 more wins to survive, possibly even only 3. It sounds easy but then we should have won yesterday tbf. QPR have some false hope now, at least I hope it's false hope - I'd hate to have given QPR the start of a winning run of fixtures that would get them out of it and make Redknapp a hero to everyone around the globe.

Saint_lambden Posted 3 March, 2013 Share Posted 3 March, 2013 We're now going to have to beat at least one of Liverpool/Chelsea at home. Probably the first time we've had a lot of pressure on us going into a game against one of the 'big teams'. So unnecessary but after yesterday's sh!te, that's how it is.

Lighthouse Posted 4 March, 2013 Share Posted 4 March, 2013 That reading game is a must win now It's a must win game for Reading as they are fast running out of winnable fixtures. For us it's a 'must not lose' game more than anything. A draw there would maintain the gap. 3 more wins in some very winnable home fixtures against Wham, WBA and Stoke will keep us up. I don't see the quality in Reading, QPR and Villa to get to 36 points I really don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AussieDog Posted 5 March, 2013 Share Posted 5 March, 2013 3 wins 3 draw will see us safe before the final day.....IF......one of those wins is away to Reading. If we don't win that one then it will be down to the final game of the season. I still think Reading,QPR & the winner of the final game of the season between Wigan & Villa will decide the 3rd spot. QPR still have an outside chance of escaping though, as they still have to play Reading, Villa & Wigan but I can't see them winning all 3 of those.

Suarez will probably tear us a new one with the form that he's in. Our style might be more suited to playing Liverpool, they will attack us and they will play out from the back against us. We might be able to press them in and get at their defence which is far from sturdy. Despite beating Wigan 4-0, Reina made quite a few decent saves. West Ham, West Brom and Stoke will all come to St Marys, sit back and defend deep. We have missed an opportunity but at least we haven't lost gorund, veryone is where they were on Friday. We still have the 3 point gap and the superior goal difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wigan won 3-0 in a cup game, which only adds to their schedule. Their game in hand is Man City away. A way to look at ti is that we've extended the gap today, but probably should have been a bit more. But it's a bit silly to say that teams around us are hitting form.
