Dr Who? Posted 17 January, 2015 Share Posted 17 January, 2015 Now after the run of games we have just had in the league, this looks easier, in the lead up to Chelsea away. Southampton v Swansea QPR v Southampton Southampton v West Ham Southampton v Liverpool WBA v Southampton Southampton v Crystal P I cannot predict as my head and heart can only see one result in all these games..... We know this will not happen. But can we please set a new club record of 7 straight wins by beating Liverpool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gary3009 Posted 17 January, 2015 Share Posted 17 January, 2015 Since the Premier League was a 20 team league,73 points has been the maximum needed to gain 4th. So you would probably think 10 more wins from 16 remaining should be enough... Certainly if 2 of those wins are vs Spurs and Liverpool... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Who? Posted 17 January, 2015 Author Share Posted 17 January, 2015 All I was say was on paper, you would think 6 wins, if these were dotted over the season, rather than 6 in a row. Likely we will win 4 max. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint_clark Posted 17 January, 2015 Share Posted 17 January, 2015 That would be 9 in a row and is highly unlikely. 12 points for me. Meh, we've done the "impossible" time after time this season. 9 wins in a row broken by a defeat away to Chelsea. I'll take that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They NEED the home wins. As for Palace, maybe...but I don't see Pardew wanting his side to play that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SNSUN Posted 18 January, 2015 Share Posted 18 January, 2015 Need two thirds of points + 2. So need 14 points needed from that lot. Tough but doable and we need to to have any chance of a top 4 finish. Having a full squad for those will be lovely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint_Tony Posted 18 January, 2015 Share Posted 18 January, 2015 Winning these six games in a row is the sort of thing Champion's League contenders do. Getting anything less than 11 points hurts our chances. I think we need to look at it as 5 blocks of 3 games. We need 6 points from every 3, which would put us on 72 points, then there's the Man City game. So not every game is a must win. It's crucial now that we don't put too much pressure on ourselves. So yes, anything less than 11 and we might be playing catch up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint_Tony Posted 18 January, 2015 Share Posted 18 January, 2015 it never works like that. not many suggested we would lose at burnley and even villa Exactly, 6 wins just isn't going to happen.4 wins and 2 defeats is realistic enough though, it really doesn't matter who we drop points to though. I think we will beat Swansea, QPR and West Ham games will be trickier. It's more important for us to beat Liverpool than it is West Brom or Crystal Palace. It is a great time now to be a fan, but so strange when we have to check the results of Man Utd, Arsenal and Spurs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Convict Colony Posted 18 January, 2015 Share Posted 18 January, 2015 (edited) looking at our games played and points accrued we are set up for 72 points at the end of the season if we maintain our average, so looking at the next 6 games to maintain that we need 12 points (11.45 average). Anything above that is all the more welcome. Spurs have some horror games coming up in Feb (schedule + fixture), Man U have an easy Feb coming up but for them March onwards gets very hard as they play all the big teams.

thefuriousb Posted 18 January, 2015 Share Posted 18 January, 2015 If we took 12 points, ie 2 points per game, then we would more than likely at least keep the gap between us & the "chasing" teams, but with only 10 games remaining. I thought last night if we picked up 25 points from the last 16, it means that Spurs have to pick up 30 - very nearly 2 points a match whilst still in 3 cup competitions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint_Tony Posted 18 January, 2015 Share Posted 18 January, 2015 I think we are in a favourable position having already played Arsenal and Utd twice, plus games against Spurs and Liverpool are at home.

Convict Colony Posted 18 January, 2015 Share Posted 18 January, 2015 Also is that like the 4th or 5th time Erikson has saved spurs in the 80 + minute, surely he's due a hamstring tweak as they have been flattered (chelsea apart) by their recent form as they were crap in a lot of those games they won.

Cabrone Posted 18 January, 2015 Share Posted 18 January, 2015 I can see 6 wins...puts us on 60 points with 10 remaining... You'd be disappointed if we didn't get champs league from that kind of position, infact 4th would be a bit of a let down. This winnable batch of 6 games could make a champs league place almost inevitable. A stunning achievement if it happens. Injuries are our Achilles heel though, we need a bit more luck than we're having at the moment because things are getting more and more stretched.

Crab Lungs Posted 18 January, 2015 Share Posted 18 January, 2015 Bony-less Swansea will still be difficult, but their form is pretty dodgy at the moment. 1-1 or 1-0 Saints. QPR half decent at home and scrapping for their lives... Though we should start to get our injured players back by then. 1-1 or 2-1 Saints. West Ham a dangerous side now they've hit their stride. Good attacking options so we'll have to keep it tight. 1-1 or 2-1 Saints. Liverpool also hitting some form now and now blobfish face has figured out Coutinho is their key player. Sturridge could be back by then too. That said, this game is sandwiched between their Europa league games. Would be great to smash these tests though. Don't see a draw, it'll be decided by a goal either way. 2-1 Saints or 0-1 Liverpool. West Brom... Will be a lot tougher now Pulis is in charge. Will be tight and I suspect they'll test Forsters weaknesses. 1-1 or 2-1 Saints. We should be far too good Palace and if they're midtable by then, then perhaps we might roll the over comfortably. 2-0 Saints. Having said that, we could still conceivably post 6 losses such is the different permutations, flash points and randomness of this year's Prem.

Potential team for the Liverpool game... Forster Clyne, Fonte, Alderweireld, Bertrand Wanyama, Schneiderlin, Davis Mane/Tadic, Pelle, Elia Bench: Davis, Mane/Tadic, Cork, JWP, Rodriguez, Long, Gardos No room for Reed, Yoshida, Targett.

igsey Posted 19 January, 2015 Share Posted 19 January, 2015 All winnable games, on paper. I just really really hope that we can beat Liverpool, give Lambert a rousing chorus of 'Southampton's goal machine' whilst putting 6-7 past Lovren and breaking Lallama's ankles. West Ham will be tough, don't think we'll win that unless we've got Toby back to deal with their lump upfront. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
