Bearing in mind we are about the same standard, how many points would you expect from the last 4 games? I d be looking for 5 points

Paxman II · Apr 11, 2012

4 points and I think they will survive and we will go sadly.
But it's a funny old game as they say. Now the pressure is enormous strange results come into play.

We may beat Burnley while Pompey lose and add pressure to the next game. From there who knows what might happen to players? One thing for sure you have to believe strange things will happen...

We are capable of winning at Burnley I'm sure of it if we turn up and turn it on all guns blazing. Then why not two home wins and with 9 points and the Saints aside Bristol have to get a couple of wins. I think if we did do that and gain 9 points Bristol would be under enormous pressure on the last day and that is when the pressure tells.
Thing is though we first have to win at Burnley for that scenario to have a basis. So, hope it is then.

Macca · Apr 11, 2012

I think we are capable of winning 3 games but given the pressure involved I only see 6 points tops. That means we can t even afford 1 Bristol win. We can t afford even the smallest bit of bad luck. No unlucky red card or penalty against us. Not one game where we dominate but dont score. It all seems stacked against us and if it did somehow happen I d have to concede it to be the greatest escape

Otis · Apr 11, 2012

It's the Burnley game that concerns me more than any other.

If we could somehow pull off a win we may well be back to just one point behind Bristol and then with Donny up for us at home and West Ham for them you would have to fancy our chances.

I just can't see us getting that win though. I think Burnley will beat us easily.

Mind, I was convinced we would beat Peterborough last Saturday. It's the injury worries that bother me the most though. Waiting for word on Cody ........ and Nimely ...... and Platt ........ and Keogh ........ and Hussey. :facepalm:

I think they'd like 4 but would certainly be reasonably confident with 3.

Personally, I think if they get any more points Coventry will have to finish the season on a blinder to play Wolves next year.

Otis · Apr 11, 2012

An absolute blinder if Wolves manage to stay up!!

Paxman II · Apr 11, 2012

To hell with injuries...how bad can they be for a pro footballer? Didn't you ever go out Sat and Sun mornings up the park pitcheS carrying all sorts of knocks, scrapes and bruises from previous good kickings? get out therE you 'tired' little boys and GET TO FCUKING WORK!"

Otis · Apr 11, 2012

Very hard to jump for a header though with a bad back I would have thought.

And I'm sure they would all play if they could. Just when you are operating at 60 or 70 % it is much harder to have the same influence on the game as you could if you were at 100%.

You ever got up on a Sunday morning and found you couldn't operate at full throttle?

'To hell with injuries' is a very naive thing to say. It's so much bigger than that.

Macca · Apr 11, 2012

Bristol I feel will scrape a point from their next 2 and will surely feel they can beat Barnsley. Last game of the season they could quit easily grab a point at burnley. That means we need 9 pts. In my wildest dreams I can t see that. On our 2 big games against Bristol and forest we fell short. As I say..the greatest escape. Bring on those milton Keynes bastards

Paxman II · Apr 11, 2012

Christ Otis did you ever play footy? I'd give my right arm for the club and would take more than a bad back, bruised groin, strained ankle or whatever to stop me forgetting all about it when I crossed that white line at Burnley. Time for these players to grow some.

Macca · Apr 11, 2012

All of those though seriously limit your performance and we re more than capable of limited performance when our players are fit!

Did you ever play football paxman ? If you did then you would know a back injury will stop you jumping for headers..flick on's etc. Yes you can jump ...but not with the same intensity. Thats how it is.

pusbccfc · Apr 12, 2012

Players these days miss out due to little injures as they know one knock on the leg could effect their game.
If say Nimely had a bad ankle and could only run 70% of his top speed, he may not be able to reach balls put through to him, meaning the fans will get on his back.

If a player is carrying a knock at the highest level it could effect their game play for themselves and others around.

Yes a do agree people paid that amount should put more effort in but as being a footballer at sunday league level myself, knowing I have a knock could effect massively for the team.

Otis · Apr 12, 2012

I guess Paxman, when Hussey went down injured in the centre circle on Monday Thorn should have simply told him that pain is for wimps and to get up and get on with the game. :facepalm:

Hussey the fookin wussey!!!

A lot of us used to turn up still pissed from the night before. There was a few times I left a party for a game. I once got ssent off for drinking a tinnie whilst sitting down leaning against a goalpost. Asked the ref where the rule is for not being able to drink tinnies during a game. He still sent me off.

I suppose pro football is the same as park football.

sky_blue_up_north · Apr 12, 2012

One thing for sure its not over till its over (as they say). Wigan proved that last night, everyone was saying its Utd's title.... they are not so sure now. I'm still betting it goes to the Southampton game.

Astute · Apr 12, 2012

Seen too many relegation battles over the years to think this one is over yet.

Superjack · Apr 13, 2012

We've lost so many games this season that I expected us to win...

...yet we've done the double over Southampton and Leicester...

...and we went to Forest, got battered, deserved nothing, yet came back with three points.

Predictions are futile.

Otis · Apr 13, 2012

As is resistance.
