They’re winning the play-offs unfortunately, wanted Millwall to do it.

We need second.

There is a scenario building here. Yes Southampton are in great form. But a defeat or victory against Man City could derail them. Injuries.expectation and playing too many games. We will play a tired side on 28 April that will hopefully be a promotion defining game.for us. Town normally play better against better sides. Last night was poor performance by Wrexham with Soton's Arsenal victory still strong. They are a threat but beatable.


Southampton will be wishing that the season was just a few more games longer. Had they sacked Will Still earlier they would be serious contenders.

Isn’t this forum odd.

How Frimmers gets 3 down votes (at the time of posting) yet Sitters has 3 up votes, even though they said the exact same thing, that Town wouldn’t win the play offs…!!!

The 3 draws in their 16 match unbeaten run were against Pompey, Charlton and West Brom. We’ll need to better 3 points against that trio. And if we do, does that make us better than Saints?

It's always been this way. People downvote the poster and not the content. Some of them obsessively.

edit. The first downvote of this post being the perfect example

Sitters has said Southampton would win them, Frimmers has said we wouldn't win them if we're in them. How is that the exact same thing?

Trust the process. Trust Phil.

9 points in the next 5 games and they’re not an issue.


This people are just being odd, there's nothing to show that we won't get the points required based on the performance over the entire season. Even with a blip

It’s about form now not combining all their games when Will Still was in charge.


And if the form table is what it should be without the refs. We'd have won 4 and drawn 1 of the last 5. Our form is fine

Calm down, I think we will do it, but Southampton are showing they have a shot of achieving near max points so they’re just being added to the equation.


And that still won't be enough.

It really is a fight to the finish between four teams.

The good news is we have to play two of the other three, the prize is ours to lose and every one of our seven games will be live on Sky. Shy must be wetting themselves at the prospect of a genuine must win game when we travel to Southampton.

Southampton, last night, showed the togetherness we did two years ago . It is what we do that matters, we don’t have to win every game we can probably afford to drop points in three games.

Whatever happens don’t bite your nails and don’t come on TWTD full of doom and gloom*


*Those who thrive on doom and gloom would be well advised not to post, but they will of course.


I find your "fight to the finish" outlook a bit doom and gloom personally lol. There race will probably be over by then and ours will hopefully be too.

The 8/1 I got on them for promotion only a month ago is looking a very shrewd bet.

That’s mental from Southampton on 22:43 - Apr 7 by GlasgowBlue

Southampton aren’t better than us. But their record since sacking Will Still is equal to ours over the same period.

All people are saying is that it would be foolish to write Southampton off. We are very much in the driving seat and are favourites to get second. But the Southampton game is now far more important than it was a few weeks ago. Probably lore important tha the Boro game, given both teams recent form.


We'll only know if that's true after the next handful of games.

What does seem to be the case is we have additional motivation to get as many points as possible before we play them.

There's been quite a bit of Stockholm Syndrome going on this season. Which is kind of cool in that we've had excitement and jeopardy both good and bad.

Millwall, Boro and Watford have all gone on long winning/ unbeaten runs but then slip up. Saints will be the same - there’s no way that they’ll win all their remaining games

It will be tough against Southampton but we should be confident.
We've been very good in a few games this season.

We have been solid and functional for the most part.
We had 13 points after 10 games.

We've accumulated 59 points in the next 29. Over 2 points per game.
If we keep that up we will go up in second.

I agree but we need to get a bunch of them in the next 3 games.

I think Southampton have a good chance of getting a minimum of 82, we should be fine but we can’t afford a really bad week.

As long as we are 81 by the time we go there we are fine to finish above them.

Poll: Ok gut feeling then, promotion?
