saintsdan Posted 5 March, 2009 Share Posted 5 March, 2009 And how exactly did Norwich get 17 or more points then?? No idea, as I didn't save my predictions but having had another look, their fixtures include: Blackpool, Plymouth, Wednesday, Watford, Ipswich and Charlton. All of which are winnable, could concievably get close to that total. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly think we might have a chance now, so explain how you have us being relegated, as there are plenty of teams who seem to be willing to commit suicide and take that 3rd spot.

saintstr1 Posted 5 March, 2009 Share Posted 5 March, 2009 Amazing how the majority have us staying up with points to spare. Now I know we are desperate for this to be correct but lets remember how much difference there is between playing football on paper as opposed to the real thing on the grass. It does look promising though. Good Game...... Good Game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krissyboy31 Posted 5 March, 2009 Share Posted 5 March, 2009 I had us in 15th place on 55 points -15 GD (9 pts clear). Blackpool, Norwich and Charlton to go down with Brum Champions and Reading Runners-up, going up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oejwells Posted 5 March, 2009 Share Posted 5 March, 2009 if all othyer results are draws and all ours are wins then we finish 4th. Also i did it honestly in the prem and saw pompey go down on the last day of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cambsaint Posted 5 March, 2009 Share Posted 5 March, 2009 The one thing that seems certain is that to survive we need at least 50 points, but 55 should be completely safe. If we remain playing as we are then both are possible. The thing that worries me are key injuries or bans. It is essential for all our players to be very self-disciplined and not pick up needless cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saintandy666 Posted 5 March, 2009 Share Posted 5 March, 2009 Ahhhhhh, it must be getting towards the end of the season... the bbc predictor thread has appeared. I can't be arsed to do it right now but I reckon it'll be close either 1 point relegated or 1 point staying up. I could be wrong, but we shall see.

Saint_Mabes Posted 5 March, 2009 Share Posted 5 March, 2009 Here's mine...didn't look at it until the end - more exciting that way! 16 Plymouth 53 17 Watford 52 18 Derby 51 19 Notts Forest 51 20 Southampton 49 21 Norwich 47 22 Barnsley 47 23 Blackpool 43 24 Charlton 36 May have been a bit unkind to Barnsley and Blackpool as they are kind of the 'forgetable' teams IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St Landrew Posted 5 March, 2009 Share Posted 5 March, 2009 Those of you who have us surviving easily when you did the predictions - did you take into account the rise in form of those around us too? Yes, and the whole bottom section are improving in various degrees. If Saints hadn't got a move on, we could easily have been bottom. But there a few teams that have not responded as well as others. Norwich and Charlton are obvious examples. But Blackpool and Barnsley are amongst others. The key movers were Notts Forest and Doncaster Rovers, who picked up their petticoats and skipped away a few weeks back, although Forest have since failed and had to go again. The 3 wins in 3 games mean that Saints are obviously the best at the very bottom, and so if they can maintain half that form, throughout the rest of the games, they should survive. The question is... will they..? Here's a link to current form. As I said in another thread, I'll have a glass of what they're taking at Donny, at present: http://www.4thegame.com/statistics/championship/tables/currentform.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St Chalet Posted 5 March, 2009 Share Posted 5 March, 2009 I have us with 52 points. Assuming losses at Birmingham, Wolves and our traditional bogey team Watford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minsk Posted 6 March, 2009 Share Posted 6 March, 2009 Trying to be as realistic and fair as possible, I get a bottom 8 of: 17 Plymouth 52 18 C Palace 51 19 Saints 51 20 Watford 49 21 B'pool 47 22 Barnsley 47 23 Norwich 42 24 Charlton 37 I would be VERY happy with this, especially as I predicted us to finish 18th at the beginning of the season.

Big Bad Bob Posted 6 March, 2009 Share Posted 6 March, 2009 I have us relegating - third from bottom. On what points then St Robbie?? Where's your table?? Those of you who have us surviving easily when you did the predictions - did you take into account the rise in form of those around us too? Aye, and I think you may have bigged their rise up just a little too much whilst downing ours!! The reality is probably somewhere in between. Tell you what take a look at what I've predicted for the rest of our games and give me your thoughts!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teamsaint Posted 6 March, 2009 Share Posted 6 March, 2009 like last season. I think someone will go down with over 50 points. Means we probably need 16 from the next ten games to be safe before the last day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brightspark Posted 7 March, 2009 Share Posted 7 March, 2009 Plymouth - 51 Barnsley - 49 Southampton - 48 Notts Forest - 47 BLACKPOOL - 45 NORWICH - 44 CHARLTON - 44 Birmingham 2-1 Saints Saints 1-1 Derby Saints 1-2 QPR Blackpool 2-2 Saints Saints 1-0 Charlton Watford 2-1 Saints Wolves 1-1 Saints Saints 1-1 Palace Sheff Wed 3-0 Saints Saints 1-0 Burnley Notts Forest 2-2 Saints 2 wins, 5 draws, 4 defeats and we stay up!!! may have been a bit harsh on us, as well as norwich and blackpool looking back at it... but im surprised with those results I had us safe (reading 1st, sheff utd 2nd, brum 3rd, wolves 4th, cardiff 5th, bristol 6th) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostBoys Posted 7 March, 2009 Share Posted 7 March, 2009 Being totally realistic I think we will end up with 52 points and that should just be enough to keep us up - unlike Leicester last season. Anything higher than that should see us definately safe. Before the three wins I though 6 wins would see us safe but with some of the recent results we may need 7 or even 8 i.e. 4 or 5 more.

Professor Posted 7 March, 2009 Share Posted 7 March, 2009 Those of you who have us surviving easily when you did the predictions - did you take into account the rise in form of those around us too?

TijuanaTim Posted 7 March, 2009 Share Posted 7 March, 2009 14th on 54 points, can't help but think we're predicting everyone focusing on form in the last few games though....surely even Charlton, Blackpool and Norwich (who look like the most likely drop 3) cannot continue to play so poorly??? Runs and declines will change all our best meant guesses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St Landrew Posted 7 March, 2009 Share Posted 7 March, 2009 In the BBC Predictor I had Saints losing today at Brum, and still managing to survive the drop reasonably well. I must admit, it probably had just as much to do with other teams failings, as our good play. Although, of course you can't guarantee their form.

GeckoSaint Posted 9 March, 2009 Share Posted 9 March, 2009 ...and I was being realistic on results. Was quite surprised to see how the table ended up as I still think it will go down to the last day.

dubsaint Posted 9 March, 2009 Share Posted 9 March, 2009 http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_div_1/predictor/default.stm I know there have been discussions on other threads but I fancied having this in its own so we can see what we all think. After filling it all out, this is what I came out with: What do you get for the final table of the season? Hi, Did my predictions last night and believe it not came up with the same result as you twice, but maybe my heart was ruling my head, I would just be happy to stay up......Big game tomorrow night.
