cambridgeshire canary 6,715 Posted February 25, 2022 Hopefully tonight will make a nice distraction from world events.. So what are your score predictions? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheGunnShow 5,940 Posted February 25, 2022 I'd take a draw any day of the week. Southampton are on a decent run of form at the moment though, and Broja looks a real player. I'll be optimistic and predict a 1-1, but suspect they'll squeeze us out by one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robert N. LiM 4,338 Posted February 25, 2022 A draw would be an objectively good result, but recent results for other teams mean we really need a win. Southampton have had some excellent recent results. Be interesting to see how that affects them being at home in a game they're really expected to win. Hopefully we can start well and frustrate their crowd. Have to say I'd take a point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JB 115 Posted February 25, 2022 We need to win, without a shadow of a doubt so nothing else will do, but from a realistic result point of view, a draw is feasible and as a standalone result, would be good 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mason 47 1,379 Posted February 25, 2022 Going off the form book- Southampton have lost 1 in the last 11 in all competitions- you would say its a reasonable bet for a home win. But strangely, that almost makes me feel like we're more likely to pull something off. Weird kick off time, off the back of two hardy-but-futile losses, against a team in great form. Something unusual like Placheta 76' 1-0. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hogesar 9,658 Posted February 25, 2022 Southampton have looked really good particularly the last few games. In isolation a draw away to them would be a really good result, but can't help feeling we need a win realistically. 1-1 I'm going for - it helps with the confidence and gives us some solidity going into the next game.

......and Smith must score. 1,342 Posted February 25, 2022 First chance of a double this season. Soton are in a really good run at the moment and it'll be difficult to get anything here. Bite your hand off for a point but I think a 2-0 Saints win is more realistic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Branston Pickle 3,656 Posted February 25, 2022 Clearly we need wins, but any points will do - a draw keeps confidence up and I’ll go for 1-1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Coneys Knee 952 Posted February 25, 2022 0-3 I’m afraid. A draw is obviously better that nothing but we’re at the stage where we have to be looking for the win in games like these. Can’t see it though. Southampton are a good home side and a team we rarely get anything from at their place. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BaltimoreBird 127 Posted February 25, 2022 A Norwich win, that's all that matters. We'll be off the bottom by the end of the day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hank shoots Skyler 2,094 Posted February 25, 2022 Just like the Newcastle draw earlier in the season, without context a draw would be a good away point in the premier league. However with context I can't really see how anyone can be truly happy with the solitary point. So if I were offered a draw right now I would not take it. We need to win and we may as well lose trying... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think this is a really good approach and one that I hope Smith and the team will be adopting. I know there's an argument that just a point could end up keeping us up but with the predicament we are in we really need to be going for 3 points in every game (esp with Man City and Liverpool out of the way - the only 2 I would fear giving us a humiliating beating) 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nutty nigel 7,531 Posted February 25, 2022 Southampton win 3-1 and the binners are above us by close of play tomorrow... Or Milot scores in the first minute and we hang on for the next 89 then in the 9th minute of stoppage time Jonathan Rowe makes it 2-0. All the best...

We don't care how many points they get this season. Tonight is well worth a calculated risk, I think, hence why I'm slightly tempted by going 442. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
