Games affecting Saints this weekend... 10:42 - Mar 19 with 1477 views | 1885_SFC | Fulham v Leeds tonight (8.00 pm). A win for Fulham (quite possible) would mean they're only 4 points behind us. Brighton v Newcastle tomorrow (8.00 pm). I think a draw would be the best outcome for us. Whatever happens, it's getting a bit tight at the foot of the table. Not exactly time to wet the bed - but things could look dicey by late Saturday night. | |

Fulham are a decent enough side but their lack of a finisher is killing them. They’ll be demoralised after this. I’d rather see Newcastle go down though | |

If I had to predict Fulham results, looking at their last 8 games you’d only possibly back them to win 3 maximum (including against us), then say 2 draws, at absolute best they’d have 37 points. But realistically be a few less than that. 36 points for Saints would surely be enough and that’s without Newcastle, Brighton and Burnley | |

Fulham have now lost 3 out of the last 4 and their good run has collapsed, they have 5 out of the last 8 away, 4 at teams chasing Champions League and Europa League and ourselves. Their 3 home games are crucial, Wolves, Burnley & on the final day Fulham. We get 5 more points we are safe, I dont think all three of Fulham, Newcastle & Brighton can all get to 37 points | |

Let’s see if we can get 5 points quickly, we need not drag it out Burnley & wba should give us what we need hopefully | | | |

A Newcastle defeat is a good result for us as it means there are now 2 teams - Fulham and Newcastle - who would need a miraculous upturn in form combined with a terrible run of results from us in the last few games to overtake us. They won't both do it. Whether we finish above Brighton or not is unimportant in the general scheme of things. Really, we only have 2 objectives now: staying up and winning the cup. | |

Brighton looking good to be fair. Trossard, Lallana and Maupai looking decent. | |

Lallana was a very astute acquisition for them. He was the best player on the pitch when we played them. | |

We allowed Newcastle to have 4 shots on target, which is all you need to score 3 goals against McCarthy on his form this year. I'm not sure we'd have even won today if he'd been in goal as Bournemouth had the same number of shots on target as we did: 5. [Post edited 20 Mar 2021 21:43]

That's true. In hindsight, he would probably have been a better acquisition than Walcott. | |

Looking at their run-in, unless they improve a ton they'll be lucky to get 6 points tops, can only really see chances in last 2 games. 04.04. 14:05 Newcastle Tottenham 11.04. 12:00 Burnley Newcastle 17.04. 15:00 Newcastle West Ham 24.04. 15:00 Liverpool Newcastle - 01.05. 15:00 Newcastle Arsenal - 08.05. 15:00 Leicester Newcastle - 12.05. 19:45 Newcastle Manchester City - 15.05. 15:00 Newcastle Sheffield Utd - 23.05. 16:00 Fulham Newcastle | | | |

That final game should decide which team fills the 3rd relegation spot. | |

Totally agree Dirk. I think he would like to have returned and finished his career at Saints but a combination of the manner in which he left and the bitterness that ensued afterwards between Saints fans and him probably put the nail in the coffin to that ever being an option. But, personally I think he could have done a useful job for us. | | | |

Getting Lallana and Welbeck, 2 players with 76 England caps between them, for nothing, was a transfer coup and has added real class to what was previously just a team of hard working journeymen. Getting big name players in not only inspires the rest of the team but also excites the fans. That is the sort of thing McMenemy used to do. | |

Didn’t realise Newcastle’s run of games. Can’t see them getting anything except maybe three points v an unmotivated already relegated Sheff Utd. They could already be down by the time they play Fulham. I caught the second half of the Brighton game. They were woeful and barely made a tackle, made Brighton look like City. | | | |

Fully agree they look in serious trouble and I can’t see that last game being do or die I think it will be settled by then That said we cannot be complacent we need to take yesterday’s performance and kick into next three games and get the two wins we need ASAP so we can plan for next year | | | |
