The run in: SAINTS: v Peterborough v Middlesborough v Coventry Less than two weeks! How do people see these games going? I feel fairly confident for tomorrow, we attacked well and it was only a couple of defensive errors at the back against Reading. The team will have analysed it and moved on. I think it will be the following: Peterborough 0-2 SAINTS Middlesbrough 1-2 SAINTS SAINTS 2-0 Coventry We will bounce back stronger!!
2-0 tomorrow, 2-1 to Middlesbrough, then bounce back with a 4-0 against Coventry. We WILL finish at least second, West Ham will slip.
I think we will beat the Posh and Coventry and draw with Middlesbro. However if we can grab 6 pts in the next two it would put nice pressure on Reading on the last day to beat the Brum and we could still win the title but promotion either way would be brilliant and deserved
still not overly optomistic. Peterbrough will want to bounce back can see it being tough. Possible draw there, think middlesbrough will be very tough i'd take a point, however we should beat coventry comfertably. Think it's down to west ham slipping up against Bristol city
Too tough to call. I never in a million bazillion years would have thought WHU would win any home game this season 6-0, so I'm going to leave the predictions to everyone else. I do think it could go either way, just depends on how much the players want it and how much the fans help at the last games. We've got games away, away, home. Reading have got home, home, away and WHU have got away, away, home. Look into that how you will.
I think we will win tomorrow as posh don't really have anything to play for. Saturday will be difficult as they are still playing for play-offs so would be content with a draw. I think that will leave us having to beat Coventry to go up. Peterborough 1 - 3 Saints Middlesborough 1 - 1 Saints Saints 3 - 0 Coventry
0-4 0-2 4-0 Putting the result aside on Friday if we play like that again nobody will be able to cope with us!!
I think there is a 1/3 chance we come first, 1/3 chance we come second and 1/3 chance we come third. The championship is so unpredicatable, and the pressure will do different things to different teams. I guess we'll find out
It's stating the obvious, but things will be a whole lot clearer after tomorrow night. I'm worried as hell at the moment, but I'll be a lot more secure if we can take three points off of Posh. Can't see West Ham dropping any more points. I'd almost accept a 1-0 win for West Ham tomorrow, if offered it now, solely because I fear what additional damage they could cause to the GD situation (and GS situation, for that matter). I do not want to be going to M'boro on Saturday needing a win.
Saints: (9 Points) 1-4 v Peterborough 0-2 v Middlesbrough 3-0 v Coventry Reading: (5 points) 3-1 v Nottingham Forest 1-1 v Crystal Palace 2-2 v Birmingham West Ham: (7 points) 1-1 v Bristol City 1-3 v Leicester 4-0 v Hull 1-Saints (91 points) 2- Reading (90 points) 3- West Ham (86 points) (Might have been a little bias!)
Saints: (7 Points) 1-2 v Peterborough 1-1 v Middlesbrough 3-0 v Coventry Reading: (3 points) 2-3 v Nottingham Forest 1-1 v Crystal Palace 1-2 v Birmingham West Ham: (7 points) 1-2 v Bristol City 1-1 v Leicester 2-1 v Hull Saints = 89 Reading = 88 West Ham = 86
I don't see why we shouldn't take 9 points from the last 3 games but I just don't think we will make it that easy for ourselves. Do hope I am wrong though. Hopefully we get a round of results that favour us this time. So a Saints win and a Bristol City win would be handy and that would send Pompey down as well. That would do to help erase the weekends results from my mind!
But then again who would have backed Wigan to pick up six points from Arsenal and Man U in a week. What odds on none of the top three Championship sides winning tomorrow?! (I don't think this will happen!)
