How many points are we likely to get from the last three games?

    I think we will get 6 points from these three games. Which will be enough....Just.
    I believe Huddersfield will get 4 from there two. So we need to be on top of our game.
    Some have said they think two draws and a win which is 5 points. If Huddersfield beat Brighton then the pressure will be on.
    so we need a minimum of 6points.
    Do you agree?
    If you don't what is your prediction?

    I haven't got a clue but none of them are easy. Brentford have no pressure on them so they can just enjoy one of their last home games.

    Hate the thought of playing Plymouth & Walsall as both fighting for survival.

    Puts the pressure on us.

    I think Hudders losing to Brighton would be our saviour.

    We can win all three just makes me nervous. My blood pressure will enjoy a seasons break.

    i honestly ebelieve we can win all three games. We've just beaten Brighton and Hartlepool, and the pressure that is on us from Huddersfield has been immense - and the fact that we have dealt with this pressure instead of crumbling fills me with enough confidence. Second place is ours to lose. COYR!!

    I know Walsall will be fighting for their lives (it is impossible for them to be relegated prior to playing us, and it would take a very particular set of results for them to have already secured safety), but I honestly only see 3 points there for us. What is it now, 8 straight home wins for us?

    So at most, we need to win 1 of these 2 away games next weekend. Every chance that simply 1 draw will be enough, if Huddersfield failed to beat Brighton, but clearly will need to be aiming for more than that - we can't rely completely on others doing us favours.

    Of the two, Brentford would appear to be the easier game to get the 3 points. Not only do they have nothing to play for, and their fans will presumably be in a bit of a party mood with it being their final home game of the season, but also we'd have had a 5 day rest beforehand. With Plymouth, it's obviously only 48 hours - and they do have something to play for.

    I'm 90% confident that promotion is in the bag.

    To be honest I just want it all over with now, I dont think that my heart can take much more! Have got my ticket for plymouth away though and am very excited about it as the lads and I are planning to make a weekend of it down there. Fingers crossed for promotion at that game.

    Sorry, yes, serious face on. Definitely. 9 points there. Yes, quite right, no humour here.

    Jesus Christ.

    NB: I thought the laughing face was enough to express that it was a joke, but no, obviously too much for you kind Sir.<ok>

    <laugh> Am I joking though?

    Brentford we will win.

    Plymouth I am not so sure... Fighting for their lives at the bottom. It will depend on how Udders do against Brighton <ok>

    We will win our home game! The atmosphere and size of the crowd (which I believe is near a sell-out) will have a huge impact, depending on whether we are promoted by that time or not!

    This time next week, we could be promoted........we'd need a win for us againtst Brentford and Uddersfield to lose to the Seagulls on Saturday and then a win at Plymouth would see us 6 points ahead with only 3 to gain.......

    Although I reckon it will come to the last day against Walsall. When we'll go 1-0 down just before half-time and come back to win 3-1 = promotion = happy days!! COYR!!!

    If Saints win on Saturday and Udders lose then thats it, job done. There is no way Udders will win their last game 13-0

    If Saints win, say 2-0 at Brentford, and Hudds lose, say 2-1 at Brighton, that means we would be +16 GD on them. We would have to lose, say 5-0 at Plymouth and 5-0 at home to Walsall, and they would have to beat Brentford 7-0 to then have a better GD than us.

    No, I think we can take it that if Saints beat Brentford and Brighton keep trying for the 100 points and beat the Udders:

    the thing is although plymouth and walsall will need to win, that means they will actually play instead of parking the bus because a draw would benefit neither, we always dominate teams when they "play" against us

    Personally i think we will need to get 5 points out of these games to secure 2nd place but i think we will get 7 points however im unsure who it will be that we will drop points against. Despite this i believe that we are capable of getting maximum points from these fixtures, no matter how tough they are.
