PaulSaint Posted 17 March, 2009 Posted 17 March, 2009 No, "Come on Saints", stay up without relying on everybody else to lose! :smt076
eelpie Posted 17 March, 2009 Posted 17 March, 2009 No, "Come on Saints", stay up without relying on everybody else to lose! :smt076 Someone please tell the coach and players. Rally in the streets guys. They don't seem to be up for it if we don't set the example like we did last month.
JustMike Posted 17 March, 2009 Author Posted 17 March, 2009 No, "Come on Saints", stay up without relying on everybody else to lose! :smt076 still be alot easier if a team with games in hand lose
Window Cleaner Posted 17 March, 2009 Posted 17 March, 2009 2-0 barnsley Don't know,do palarse still believe thay have a chance of making the plays-off? I see that QPR still think they're in with a chance despite being 10 points behind the 6th placed side and having played a game more. Some of these managers will say anything to get an extra fan into the stadium.

St Marco Posted 17 March, 2009 Posted 17 March, 2009 If Barnsley win they then go on to 43 points with a game in hand. Meaning 4 points clear of us. Our attention then moves from Forest to Norwich to get out of the drop zone. Who are 3 points clear of us and with a massive 8 goals better goal difference then us. Meaning we would return to needing 4 points to get out of the drop zone. Thus meaning if Barnsley win it will be another big blow to us.
AndyNorthernSaints Posted 17 March, 2009 Posted 17 March, 2009 Feels a bit wrong cheering on a side managed by Colin W@nker.
thorpie the sinner Posted 17 March, 2009 Posted 17 March, 2009 I don't really care, I am praying for a Palace victory!!
sfc6mufc3 Posted 17 March, 2009 Posted 17 March, 2009 If it stays 2-1 then we see forest (41pts) drop into the bottom 3 with Norwich then Plymouth above them on 42pts, but the better goal difference means even if we win our game in hand on them both we would be below them - suddenly it looks so much worse than before Barnsley kicked off:(
thorpie the sinner Posted 17 March, 2009 Posted 17 March, 2009 we should be in control of our own destiny!!! start relying on other teams and we are ****ed, as is being shown tionight!!!
NickG Posted 17 March, 2009 Posted 17 March, 2009 makes no difference -Charlton, Notts F and Plymouth are the three going down!
ottery st mary Posted 17 March, 2009 Posted 17 March, 2009 makes no difference -Charlton, Notts F and Plymouth are the three going down! Sturrock may well come back to haunt your boy Rupert nick.. Hope not.:smt049
thorpie the sinner Posted 17 March, 2009 Posted 17 March, 2009 makes no difference -Charlton, Notts F and Plymouth are the three going down! that sounds like the power of positive thought!!!
Kingsbridge Saint Posted 17 March, 2009 Posted 17 March, 2009 That's the three for me now - right there at the bottom now. Charlton, Saints, Forest. It's grim. Nice one rupert - you chimp.
Channon's Sideburns Posted 17 March, 2009 Posted 17 March, 2009 That's the three for me now - right there at the bottom now. Charlton, Saints, Forest. It's grim. Nice one rupert - you chimp. Stick a fork in us - we're done.
Yate Saint Posted 17 March, 2009 Posted 17 March, 2009 It's becoming clear that results are not going to go the way we want them too. Its up to us and us only. COME ON YOU SAINTS. WE CAN DO IT.
NickG Posted 17 March, 2009 Posted 17 March, 2009 perhap Warnock shouldn't have spent all day on radio and tv moaning about West Ham
Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 17 March, 2009 Posted 17 March, 2009 perhap Warnock shouldn't have spent all day on radio and tv moaning about West Ham Let's sue him if we go down, for not paying due care and attention to his current job.
Flyer Posted 18 March, 2009 Posted 18 March, 2009 and QPR 1 up Whats so bad about that? Im amazed we finally scored!
alpine_saint Posted 18 March, 2009 Posted 18 March, 2009 It's becoming clear that results are not going to go the way we want them too. Its up to us and us only. Oh dear........
lordswoodsaints Posted 18 March, 2009 Posted 18 March, 2009 all the teams at the bottom are fighting for their lives,we are just not fighting as hard as them! charlton are as good as gone and i still think forest are going, the last spot could be one of 6 teams and we are a good candidate. we need to stay in this league under our own steam as none of the teams around us are going to do us any favours and nor should they,they want what we want, its just a matter of who wants it more and who has the better ability to achieve it. relying on other teams will only end in tears.
70's Mike Posted 18 March, 2009 Posted 18 March, 2009 just makes saturdays game that little bit bigger oh i do love to be beside the sea side oh i do love to be by the sea as i walk a long the front with my lovely ??????????????????????

Yep. If its down to fighting spirit, we're f**ked.

Just a laugh, as I remember the words we used to sing, rather fitting really. IMO.
70's Mike Posted 18 March, 2009 Posted 18 March, 2009 Were they the missing words Mike? Just a laugh, as I remember the words we used to sing, rather fitting really. IMO. YOU may ,iyo, think that but i could not possibily comment.
rallyboy Posted 18 March, 2009 Posted 18 March, 2009 That result changes little, we still have to show more committment and quality than Forest and Plymouth. Barnsley have more fight than we do, sad but true. What I don't understand is how we got to the point where we are a smaller/less equipped/worse-organised club than Doncaster, Swansea, etc etc.
Whitey Grandad Posted 18 March, 2009 Posted 18 March, 2009 What I don't understand is how we got to the point where we are a smaller/less equipped/worse-organised club than Doncaster, Swansea, etc etc. There are numerous other threads on this topic. Please insert the name of the person you blame here: 'R..... L...'

No doubt. But how we finish may depend on who we play and who the other candidates play. I have broken this down into 5 categories. Teams battling it out for automatic promotion=AP Teams with serious play-off chances PO Mid Table, nothing to play for really= MT Relegation is a possibility (more or less) =RT Charlton who are already as good as down=C. Obviously these categories change with every result but to date it goes for teams in 18th -23rd place: Saints 1AP,1PO,3MT,2RT 1C Forest 1AP,2PO,1MT,3RT, Blackpool 1AP,2PO,OMT,3RT1C Norwich 2AP,1PO,3MT,1C Plymouth 1AP,2PO,3MT,2RT Barnsley 2AP,2PO,3MT,2RT So in theory Forest have the hardest run-in in terms of teams who have exterior motivation other than wanting to win for the sake of winning. Closely followed by Blackpool However if we can't score goals all that makes little difference because no matter how much we want to win-we won't.
Chez Posted 18 March, 2009 Posted 18 March, 2009 Charlton can have a major bearing on who else goes down and as we have seen many times before once the pressure is off relegated teams often start winning games. Things look bleak, but then again they have all season and it comes as no surprise we are where we are.
