SNSUN Posted 27 April, 2015 Posted 27 April, 2015 Sunderland vs Saints Leicester vs Saints Saints vs Aston Villa Man City vs Saints So a colleague asked me just now what our last 4 fixtures were, and how many points I'd take if offered now. I said that based on those fixtures, I'd take 8 points right now, though of course I think we're good enough to get more. What do you lot think we'll get for the rest of the season, and what would you take if offered now?
Saint Garrett Posted 27 April, 2015 Posted 27 April, 2015 Sunderland vs Saints W Leicester vs Saints L Saints vs Aston Villa W Man City vs Saints D 7 Points. Leicester and Villa games will be very tough - both in form and scrapping. Obviously City away will be, and we never do particularly well at Sunderland...It all depends if the players can keep motivated to play at the top of their game. Wouldn't surprise me if the season petered out a bit and we didn't pick up many points from those 4.
the saint in winchester Posted 27 April, 2015 Posted 27 April, 2015 "What would you take if offered now"? Two points more than Liverpool and Tottenham. Predictions: Sunderland vs Saints 3pts Leicester vs Saints 1pt Saints vs Aston Villa 3pts Man City vs Saints nil point So I think we can get 7 more. Whether that is enough to gets us into 5th or 6th, time will tell.
Lighthouse Posted 27 April, 2015 Posted 27 April, 2015 Win, draw, draw lose. We finish 7th and Arsenal make hard work of beating Villa in the cup final, which is on Steven Gerrard's birthday but nobody in the media has mentioned it yet.
K,Billy's supersound Posted 27 April, 2015 Posted 27 April, 2015 w,w,d,d. 8pts would do nicely and end a great season for us.
Window Cleaner Posted 27 April, 2015 Posted 27 April, 2015 D D D L Given our away record of late that might not be too far off the mark, depends who we have fit I suppose.
sad saints fan Posted 27 April, 2015 Posted 27 April, 2015 Interesting to look at Spurs and Liverpool final fixtures and estimate their final total.
Window Cleaner Posted 27 April, 2015 Posted 27 April, 2015 Interesting to look at Spurs and Liverpool final fixtures and estimate their final total. Seem to remember that their respective last few games are about on a par with ours, perhaps they have more home games though, all 3 clubs have one tough looking game left, Citeh for both us and Spurs and Chelsea for Liverpool.
fanimal Posted 27 April, 2015 Posted 27 April, 2015 Leicester away will be a cracker! Glad i am going. 3 wins and a draw for me finish 5th.
John Boy Saint Posted 27 April, 2015 Posted 27 April, 2015 Sunderland vs Saints W Leicester vs Saints D Saints vs Aston Villa D Man City vs Saints W Sunderland are fragile score early and we have enough guile to beat them. Leicester is the funny one if they win the next 2 (yes they are playing the champions elect but strange things happen) they might lose the "we have nothing to lose gung-ho mentality" they seem to be playing with at the moment and we could catch em cold. Villa is another funny one will they have one eye on the cup being only 2 weeks away as a distraction or a motivation, Sherwood seems to have them ticking over nicely. Man City seem to blow hot and cold, ageing team that looks like they could have very little to play for, so thoughts of flip flops and warm sun on their backs could slide into some of their heads. We have Swansea to keep us honest as they are only 7 pts back with 12 on the table.

We have Swansea to keep us honest as they are only 7 pts back with 12 on the table. Although City have everything to play for, the struggle for 2nd,3rd and 4th places will continue to the last minutes of the last round of games as likely as not, any slacking off will mean 4th place (and the qualifiers) at best and 5th place in a worst case scenario where Liverpool win all of their remaining five games .
SaintTex Posted 27 April, 2015 Posted 27 April, 2015 We have Swansea to keep us honest as they are only 7 pts back with 12 on the table.I'd eat my hat if Swansea threatened. Swansea's remaining matches: Stoke (h) Arsenal (a) City (h) CP (a) tough haul As for us, I really want to be optimistic (10 points - 5th place - 67 points at the end): Sunderland W (really need to roll them) Leicester D (tricky game away) Villa W (glad this is at home. Hoping Villa is safe by the time we play them, although it is the early game on Sat so they probably won't know for sure) Man City W (hoping City has nothing to play for and has 2nd or 3rd locked up, regardless they are obviously not unbeatable) I'd feel a whole lot better and more confident with Forster between the pipes.
Batman Posted 27 April, 2015 Posted 27 April, 2015 there is no way we are going to get 10 more points. 4-6 IMO
Lets B Avenue Posted 27 April, 2015 Posted 27 April, 2015 there is no way we are going to get 10 more points. 4-6 IMO You are quite wrong as usual. There is a way. In fact there are a few.
Baird of the land Posted 27 April, 2015 Posted 27 April, 2015 Hope we get 7-9. Fear we'll get 3-4 points.
Batman Posted 27 April, 2015 Posted 27 April, 2015 You are quite wrong as usual. There is a way. In fact there are a few. It's like saying we could win the league a few weeks back and the greens could win the general election But in real life......
Saint Fan CaM Posted 27 April, 2015 Posted 27 April, 2015 W, D, D, L....so 5 pts and not enough to leap out of 7th.
svetigpung Posted 28 April, 2015 Posted 28 April, 2015 all depends on whether the boys are up for it or not. Can Ronald motivate a tiring squad? I do reckon so. hope they're not planning their hols or getting their flip-flops on yet. Sunderland are sh1te. Villa and Leicester will be tougher than normal. City will get a late winner, probably. Minimum 5 points.
Wiggles31 Posted 28 April, 2015 Posted 28 April, 2015 W D W L Leicester and Villa look like the hardest games.
Window Cleaner Posted 28 April, 2015 Posted 28 April, 2015 W D W L Leicester and Villa look like the hardest games. Harder than City away................surprising really.
Brave Sir Robin Posted 28 April, 2015 Posted 28 April, 2015 Clearly we'll win all 4. Particularly looking forward to beating Sunderland 8-0 again!
simo Posted 28 April, 2015 Posted 28 April, 2015 2 wins a draw and a loss but not necessarily in that order
Wurzel Posted 28 April, 2015 Posted 28 April, 2015 Luckily for us all 4 games are against teams who - as things stand now - can't really afford to play for a draw, which is where we can often come unstuck. So 4 wins then
5string Posted 28 April, 2015 Posted 28 April, 2015 Sunderland vs Saints W 3-0. We're on the up again, scoring goals, Sunderland would have been dreading that scenario. It won't be 8-0 again, but could be a few if we avoid arrogant expectations. Leicester vs Saints D 1-1. A tricky one as Leicester are fighting hard. We'll need to be ready for a scrap. Saints vs Aston Villa W 2-1. If Jose/Toby can control their rejuvenated strikers, we should manage a win, though Sherwood will have done his homework on us so it'll be a nervous rollercoaster of a game. Man City vs Saints L 1-3. End of season party type game. Man City won't want to end the season with a home defeat. So, 7 points according to my predictions. Haven't tried to predict Liverpool/Spurs results yet, so no idea how we'll end up. Hopefully 6th or 5th. COYS!
