Scoot Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 We need to stop conceding late goals. Bournemouth both home and away as well as Burnley at home have cost us 5 points. It proper pisses me off conceding late knowing we've threw points away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoreboard82 Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Looking at those fixtures I reckon WBA and Stoke will go. Hard to call the last place but Brighton have awful fixtures. Interesting that it's stoke v palace and stoke v Swansea last 2 games of season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsunami Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 IMO West Brom and Stoke are gone. Even at the most pessimistic I have us on 36 points and staying up on goal difference. If we’d won at Bournemouth we’d be 2 wins and a draw from safety, 37 points should see any team over the line. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElDiablo Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Can't work out whether there being lots of teams still in the scrap means more or less points will be needed for survival. Anyone? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NG32 Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Southampton's next 4 games are massive, all against sides in the bottom half, that run of games might decide their future. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone? Way I look at it is there are more clubs able to slip up. If we were relying on bettering only one or two clubs I'd be much more concerned. We're all understandably fixated on our own form but everyone else is s**** too and they can't all suddenly pick up. Literally in some cases, considering they play one another.

Not if you do it right. It's the getting nervous and making mistakes that loses games, and you might get those even with a more attacking approach. The defenders would be a lot more exposed, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bigger picture is that we have a cunt stick owner. The frustration is obvious but taking a step back it’s a little brighter. If anyone had offered me 4 points from Man U at home and Bournemouth away I’d have snapped their hands off. We got 4 points. If we’d gone 2 down and ended up drawing 2-2 away from home to get a point I’d be delighted with it. We got a point from a difficult fixture. I know we’re focusing on the negatives of losing a lead again but we’ve only lost league games to 1 team, the champions elect, since the middle of December. We’re a pretty tough nut to crack, have a lot of games left that we stand a good chance of getting points from. The run in is decent, we have a good gd and a fairly fit squad. The glass is more than half full, we just tend to dwell on the negatives a little to much at times. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paully Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 We've lost two in our last 10 both versus this year's Champions and annoyingly in those 10, if we had of taken our chances, we'd be sat probably six or eight points better off! We'll be fine thanks to Rafa! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mbemba Youre A Womble Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Nobody would have grumbled over a point against Man U if they'd have conceded late on. 3 points is fantastic, but that shouldn't be taken into any consideration into future events, nor should it be banded out to justify future failings. Playing Man United is a totally different challenge to teams like Bouremouth - a challenge we've so far this season been failing at. It's more important to take points off those around you, denying them those points and creating gaps. Dropping 2 points from a very winnable position against Bouremouth is unacceptable. We've dropped countless points in these sorts of games where we've not competed at all, not taken easy chances, or collapsed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
