lovejoy Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 we could look at our home form in a different light, we havnt been beaten at home in the league by a team outside of the top 4 since blackburn in september. 3 wins are not out of our grasp just yet people.

lovejoy Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 home form, 2009, no wins. did you expect a win from man utd, arsenal and chelsea a home? pompey and boro, and arguably fulham, will be the weakest opposition at home outside the top 4 this year, it isnt insummountable (sp).

Offshore Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Its odd that we write ourselves off when faced with 3 winnable games at home - which they are, but also claim that we 'had' to win two away games - Stoke and Spurs or we're doomed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had us losing to Stoke and Spurs but still staying up by winning our homes games. So according to the results so far we are ahead of my predictions.

Optimistic Nut Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 It's definitely not impossible. As you say, we've played 9, but only won 3 and drawn 6 of those games you mention. In three of those draws as well we were in a leading position up until the 86th minute. It's not beyond the realms of impossibility, but it'll be tough. Least it's a glimmer of hope anyway!

tmonkey Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Looking at previous form is irrelevant imo because of our injury problems and the return to near fitness of several key players. Touch wood, and unless I'm not mistaken, this will be the first time this season we'll have had the attacking trio of Viduka, Martins and Owen all fit and available at the same time.

joeyt Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Think the worrying thing is that we have drawn too many. 2-2 draws against these 3 won't be enough Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Another thing I was thinking about this morning that I didn't think worthy of a thread, but worthy of a mention. A few years ago, we were dreadful but able to see teams off at home. We had a shit pitch that only our lot knew how to play on at times. Now our pitch is good, letting teams play better stuff.

Same here, in fact us getting a point at Stoke is the only (I think) near-shock result by a bottom placed team lately. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainhaircut Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 I think 37 points will keep us up. So two wins and a draw would be enough. I even fancy us to nick something at Villa. Its not all over if we don't win this but we could really do with it. I think we'll stay up if we win this one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can add in the factor that St James should be jumping then we have to believe we can still do it. Whether the players believe it we'll find out on Monday night.

Bookie's odds on Newcastle v Portsmouth W: 1/1 D: 23/10 L: 12/5 (bet365) W: 2.08 D: 4.1 L: 3.45 (betfair) A couple more crumbs for everybody Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decky Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 Everyone reckoned our home form would keep us up this season, and yet we have somehow lost to Blackpool and fucking Stoke. Should we be worried? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should we be worried? The worry is that games at SJP become a millstone around the players' necks rather than the confidence boost it should be. We needed the win today.
