Sounds like we had the chances to win this one.

 

Off the bottom at least, another chance next week to climb a few places, come on you Saints!

[JKiF]

Benyon eh, who'd have thought it.

 

 

we deserevd the 3pts .

[Laz]

If we can play like that this week then who knows we could be out of trouble by Christmas.

[JKiF]

lets hope so fella!

[Rob_the_Saint]

Fairplay to the lad, still don't think he combines well with Haks but then probably nobody does. If we can end the year on 25-28 pts think we'll be OK.

[Electric ~soul~]

Hmmm, sounds a bit low to me. Assuming no team goes down due to administration, or other off-field reasons, I think you'd have to look at 40+ points.

 

Ah - just realised what you meant - end 2006 on 25-28 points. Yes - agree entirely.

[Laz]

I think this Saturday will be a real test of where we are and where we will be come Xmas.

[YELLOW]

Who are you playing on Saturday?

[Laz]

Rushen and Diamonds.

[YELLOW]

Possibly a good time to play them as they could be distracted by their cup exploits.

[Laz]

Who did they draw? (Can't be bothered to look myself.)

Electric/Rob

We will need 51 or so points to stay up, assuming 4 down. We have either 6 or 5 fixtures left this year (depending on when the Morecambe fixture is rescheduled to as they are in the FA Cup second round on Dec 2) and need to win 3 or 4 of those to achieve Rob's 25-28 points. So who are we going to beat.

[Laz]

Here's the fixtures before then...

 

(incuding Morecombe still)

 

sat 18th nov 2006 H rushden and diamonds

sat 25th nov 2006 A stafford rangers

sat 2nd dec 2006 H v morecambe

sat 9th dec 2006 A halifax town

tue 26th dec 2006 H stevenage borough

sat 30th dec 2006 H exeter city

 

I can't see four wins in that little lot!

[Rob_the_Saint]

I forgot about Morecambe so maybe 25-28 is a bit optimistic.

 

Two wins and a draw (or two!) out of five games will be an excellent return but none of them look remotely easy on paper:

 

R&D home

Stafford away

Halifax away

Stevenage home

Exeter home

[Midweeksaint]

It really is going to be tight isn't it! Performance and all that notwithstanding, if we can't beat the likes of FGR home or away then I think it doesn't look good.

Tamworth at home. I would fancy them to win that although Tamworth beat Burton in the last round at Burton's ground.

[Laz]

We're only a point of so from being clear so that suggests things aren't as bad.

St Albans were the more dangerous team better with their first touch, moving off the ball and battling spirit. They missed several golden chances and must be kicking themselves going back with only a point.

[Electric ~soul~]

I've read that sort of thing far too often this season, really.

[JKiF]

true, but not lately
