Dark Munster Posted 21 February, 2021 Share Posted 21 February, 2021 6 hours ago, Lighthouse said: If Fulham were to win their three most winnable games - Palace, Newcastle and Burnley - That would put them a whole point ahead of where we are now. We would have four games in hand, including Fulham, Brighton, Palace, West Brom, Burnley and two games against Leeds. All their other games would be against 10 of the top 13, Saints being theoretically the worst. We aren’t in a relegation fight. 6 pointer. 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sad saints fan Posted 22 February, 2021 Share Posted 22 February, 2021 I have just been looking at the teams below us remaining fixtures . Newcastle in particular is horrific . I worked out that 35 points will be enough to stay up, then I realised that I had both Newcastle and Fulham winning the last game of the season . Basically 2 more wins and we are safe .

supersonic Posted 23 February, 2021 Share Posted 23 February, 2021 Start brightly, better team in first half. Absolutely implode in the second half. Week, after week, after week, after week. Very much in relegation trouble. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saint lard Posted 23 February, 2021 Share Posted 23 February, 2021 (edited) For all you twats that don’t think we are embroiled in a relegation fight....wake up. we have been shite for weeks and now we have a run of games that we are very unlikely to get much from at all. put your Ralph tinted glasses away and give your heads a wobble. we are utter shite. in fact fucking embarrassing under Hassenhutle.

jawillwill Posted 23 February, 2021 Share Posted 23 February, 2021 Anyone who thinks we're in zero danger of relegation is deluded. I can only hope that is not what the players and Ralph think. Yes, we shouldn't go down. But at the moment I'd say there is about a 10% chance (up from about 0.0000001% chance at new year). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lighthouse Posted 23 February, 2021 Share Posted 23 February, 2021 We will stutter and dribble our way another 6/7 points in the games against Palace, Brighton, Fulham, Sheff Utd, Burnley, Leeds and possibly a surprise draw at somewhere like Spurs or West Ham.

S-Clarke Posted 23 February, 2021 Share Posted 23 February, 2021 We are in relegation form, as much as Sheffield United have been in all season. But I'm still thankful we got the points on the board we did. We still have a decent cushion and some favourable fixtures coming up, maybe not immediately, but I still can't imagine us not getting 6-7 points from those remaining games and that will do us.

The fact that we got a point at in form Chelsea and were good for a win against Wolves until that penalty shows we have something about us.

Turkish Posted 23 February, 2021 Share Posted 23 February, 2021 Remember 88/89. Top after a few games, playing good football then we went on a 20 match winless run from November to April, we weren’t playing that badly but just kept losing. This feels exactly like that. In that run we got a last minute penalty at home to Newcastle to hand us a 1-0 win, we ended up finishing the season fairly well, the following season we were brilliant and finished 7th with one of the best saints teams I’ve ever seen.

I was thinking about that before. But what happened the following season ? Wasn’t that another 19 game winless run. In fact I feel sure that’s the season you’re on about mate. That 89 team was superb, well at attacking anyway. Then the next season we had a good start and then collapsed before, like you say, a,late penalty against Newcastle, think it was Razor that scored. Then I think we beat Blackburn when Timmy saved a Shearer penalty. That was 90/91. Or am I wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
