Plumstead_Saint Posted 21 February, 2009 Posted 21 February, 2009 Surely we can beat Cardiff at home now?

I can feel a dull draw against Cardiff in my waters. Ipswich is a nailed on loss. Brummy are hit and miss at the mo and we travel well, so who knows. The other two really depend on who turns up on the day. I'm going to be optimistic and say 5 points. W1 D2 L2

I don't see why we can't get two home wins and some other draws in there. 8 Points would probably be a good return
70's Mike Posted 21 February, 2009 Posted 21 February, 2009 I don't see why we can't get two home wins and some other draws in there. 8 Points would probably be a good return agreed lets just hope we have none of this "the boys need a rest" crap. i just hope the penny has dropped with SMS coaching staff, 6 ft center half and a 6ft center forward is essential in this division
INFLUENCED.COM Posted 21 February, 2009 Posted 21 February, 2009 Preston was concerning, all games are concerning when in our position but equally hard to judge how we will do, as today demonstrated. I will remain optimistic as long as Tuesday's board meeting does not seel our fate.

MR ****in' OPTIMISM, we've just won at home for the first time in f*ckin' ages and then your going on about this shhh

Thedelldays Posted 21 February, 2009 Posted 21 February, 2009 Looks a bit concerning- Cardiff (h) win 2-0 Ipswich (a) lose 3-1 Birmingham (a) lose 2-0 Derby (h) draw 1-1 QPR (h) draw 2-2 Maybe beat Derby draw with QPR? 4pts from the 5 games? imo
Doctoroncall Posted 21 February, 2009 Posted 21 February, 2009 heart says: Cardiff (h) win Ipswich (a) lose Birmingham (a) draw Derby (h) draw QPR (h) win head says: Cardiff (h) draw Ipswich (a) lose Birmingham (a) draw Derby (h) lose QPR (h) draw Birmingham are awful under McLeish considering the quality under his disposal so a win is possible especially if it's a mid week game and only 12k fans there.
Glasgow_Saint Posted 21 February, 2009 Posted 21 February, 2009 Birmingham are awful under McLeish Must be awful being 2nd in the league!!
Arizona Posted 21 February, 2009 Posted 21 February, 2009 Norwich v Coventry QPR v Norwich Blackpool v Norwich Norwich v Cardiff Norwich v Plymouth Notts Forest ( + 3 pts, +5 GD, we have a game in hand ) Reading v Nottm Forest Nottm Forest v Preston Nottm Forest v Swansea Watford v Nottm Forest Burnley v Nottm Forest Plymouth ( +5 pts, +6 GD, we have a game in hand ) Wolverhampton v Plymouth Plymouth v Watford Plymouth v Reading Swansea v Plymouth Norwich v Plymouth Tough set of fixtures for Plymouth and Forest. I'd taken Norwich's games out of the 4 of us.
saintwarwick Posted 21 February, 2009 Posted 21 February, 2009 (edited) Looks a bit concerning- Cardiff (h) Ipswich (a) Birmingham (a) Derby (h) QPR (h) So did the Preston game today who were in fourth place Cardiff, win Ipswich, draw Brum, draw Derby, win QPR, win Edited 21 February, 2009 by saintwarwick
Mole Posted 21 February, 2009 Posted 21 February, 2009 Surely we can beat Cardiff at home now? Todays was a must win - we won, Cardiff is a must win. I think Cardiff will be a tough proposition and i'd expext them to beat us, but let's hope i'm wrong.
N/West Saint Posted 22 February, 2009 Posted 22 February, 2009 So did the Preston game today who were in fourth place Cardiff, win Ipswich, draw Brum, draw Derby, win QPR, win That would be a good run
team-saint Posted 22 February, 2009 Posted 22 February, 2009 cardiff have only lost 4 all season (2 away) so will be a tough one. they have drawn 9 away though so i would go with a 1-1 D ipswich will beat us 2-0 L birmingham are in poor form and struggling for goals, will be thinking we are pushovers. 1-0 W derby are in good form but they shouldn't get carried away, we are more than capable of beating them. 2-1 W QPR are quite poor away from home (like preston) and struggle for goals (only scored 12) but also don't concede many (17). 1-0 W
hamster Posted 22 February, 2009 Posted 22 February, 2009 Surely we can beat Cardiff at home now? Surely we can beat anyone at home now. That is how I feel tonight
L1Minus10 Posted 22 February, 2009 Posted 22 February, 2009 Cardiff, win Ipswich, draw Brum, lose Derby, win QPR, win That's what we need anyhow....
thorpie the sinner Posted 22 February, 2009 Posted 22 February, 2009 I can honestly see a return of 8 points from the set of games if we use yesterdays victory to boost morale in camp!! By all accounts we are playing well enough, just need to put ball in back of net!! Cardiff 3 points Ipswich 1 point Birmingham 1 point Derby 0 points QPR 3 points
Victor Posted 22 February, 2009 Posted 22 February, 2009 "Upcoming"!! The word is 'coming', not 'upcoming'. 'Upcoming' was invented by Sky Sports to advertise some minor sporting event, probably invoving 2 non-league teams or some overdressed Americans, that they know noone gives a toss about watching in the mistaken hope that it will seem more glamorous than it is, and has now been adopted by men in offices wearing suits who want to make the ******** they are spouting sound important. Stop helping to spread this silliness any farther now, please!
Andy_Porter Posted 22 February, 2009 Posted 22 February, 2009 Cardiff (h) - Win Ipswich (a) - Lose Birmingham (a) - Draw Derby (h) - Draw QPR (h) - Win
Thorpe-le-Saint Posted 22 February, 2009 Posted 22 February, 2009 Cardiff - Win Ipswich - Draw Brum - Lose Derby - Win QPR - Draw/Lose
Doctoroncall Posted 24 February, 2009 Posted 24 February, 2009 Must be awful being 2nd in the league!! You obviously have a problem reading complete sentences!!

On current Form, I would say :- Cardiff (h) Draw Ipswich (a) Draw Birmingham (a) Lose Derby (h) Draw Qpr (h) Win Mind you, I've been doing the Pools for Years and have yet to win anything
saint1977 Posted 24 February, 2009 Posted 24 February, 2009 Looks a bit concerning- Cardiff (h) Ipswich (a) Birmingham (a) Derby (h) QPR (h) Maybe beat Derby draw with QPR? 4pts from the 5 games? Cardiff home - they have gone off the boil a bit but a decent side. Doable. Ipswich - bogey ground but Magilton protests at the moment. Narrow defeat Brum - fancy we might get a score draw if we can keep that horrid midget quiet - the one with the friendly wife Derby - Could win QPR - Draw
SFC Forever Posted 24 February, 2009 Posted 24 February, 2009 We need to do something that so far has been beyond us. String a run of good performances together. If we can grab 6 or more points from those 5 games we could be a bit closer to the rest. Let's start with a win on Saturday please.
stockbridge_saint Posted 24 February, 2009 Posted 24 February, 2009 it really doesn't matter who the hell we play look at results this season. we've beaten birmingham, reading, preston but then lost to forrest, doncaster, blackpool and so on. i think it's impossible to predict which games we might win. i hope to get 7 points from those 5 games though.
West End Saint Posted 24 February, 2009 Posted 24 February, 2009 I think we will need 9 points if we are going to turn things around the teams around will probably average a point a game so we need 3 wins from 5 games or 2 wins and 3 draws to claw back the points difference. To have any chance of avoiding the drop we have to go on a run like Donny did I am not convinced that we will do it we played great against Preston if we can beat Cardiff I might start thinking mission impossible is possible but at the moment I still think we are favourite for the drop. PLEASE PLEASE prove me wrong
slickmick Posted 24 February, 2009 Posted 24 February, 2009 I can feel a dull draw against Cardiff in my waters. Ipswich is a nailed on loss. Brummy are hit and miss at the mo and we travel well, so who knows. The other two really depend on who turns up on the day. I'm going to be optimistic and say 5 points. W1 D2 L2 Sounds about right and would be exceptable if we were'nt in so much trouble. I don't see why we can't get two home wins and some other draws in there. 8 Points would probably be a good return This is what we need if we are to survive.
voteforpedro Posted 24 February, 2009 Posted 24 February, 2009 Those teams are doing well in the league, but having played our best football against teams around the top of the table I think we might do ok. Birmingham: lost 2-1 but played well, beat them in the cup Preston: Beat them twice Reading: A win and a draw Wolves: Lost 2-1 but played well, could have won if Euell hadn't been (wrongly) sent off
Saint_clark Posted 24 February, 2009 Posted 24 February, 2009 Cardiff are overrated, QPR are hit and miss and Ipswich are having a bad season, and the fans will get on their backs VERY quickly. By the time we play Derby their form could have gone down the sh*tter as well. See, it IS possible to be optimistic.

Chez Posted 24 February, 2009 Posted 24 February, 2009 not sure about the others but we'll beat the bluenoses at their place. They are ****ing awful at their place.
david in sweden Posted 25 February, 2009 Posted 25 February, 2009 imo I know Ipswich are good at home, but so were Reading until we beat them. I think we have a good shout v. Brum. They look awful at present and the longer KP is out the better for us .
sperm_john Posted 25 February, 2009 Posted 25 February, 2009 i fancy us to get atleast a draw at ipswich, dont know why everyones so worried about them, but derby are on form so fancy us to lose that one, the others i dont know, just imo..
John D Posted 25 February, 2009 Posted 25 February, 2009 I'm thinking more longer term and reckon we need 6 wins between now and end of season. The home win millstone will have been lifted following Saturday so I reckon we can win 4 out of these home games Derby / QPR / Charlton / Palace / Burnley. Then either Blackpool or Sheff Wed away then brown trouser time for last game of season against Notts Forest of course someone could have spiked my lunch with loopy juice
The Incongruous Monk Posted 25 February, 2009 Posted 25 February, 2009 8 points from these 5 games would be a great return but I feel survival calls for at least 10. We're behind on points and games and a fair few of those around us have upped their game. Each games is now the next "must win". 3 points against Cardiff and it's game on. Anything less and I'll probably give up again :-)

By the time we play Derby their form could have gone down the sh*tter as well. See, it IS possible to be optimistic. Aah, but the trouble with an 'overrated' team is that while YOU think they are no good they actually go on winning games.
LaptopSaint Posted 25 February, 2009 Posted 25 February, 2009 If we can't win two of those five at a minimum we're in the brown stuff. Saturday will show whether we've turned any sort of corner. I think (hope) with the millstone of not winning at home for about seven centuries lifted from our backs we might just relax a bit, fight a bit and go on a run. But I've been wrong before.
Mole Posted 25 February, 2009 Posted 25 February, 2009 The Preston win was a false dawn. We'll be back to normal come Saturday.
INFLUENCED.COM Posted 25 February, 2009 Posted 25 February, 2009 The Preston win was a false dawn. We'll be back to normal come Saturday. Please explain normal..............for me Saints normal means unpredictable
