| Southampton just became a must not lose game on 21:57 - Apr 7 with 2670 views | ElderGrizzly | I thought if we win 5 of our last 7 it doesn’t matter what anyone else does? So we could lose Norwich and Southampton (and likely will) and would still be ok. |  | |  |

True but people earlier saying 4 more wins needed would put us level with them if they won their remaining games. They have 4 at home, we have 5 away! |  |

Means we have to beat Boro who seem better away plus overcome those fighting for their lives. Playing how we did against Brum we are not winning 5. Really feel Saints are in this now given they have 4 at home left out of their 6. |  |

Absolutely FB. You finish where you deserve. Simple as that. If they win all six and we fail to win four from seven games, they’ll more than deserve to finish above us. If Millwall and Boro’s form collapses too, then they’ll do it. [Post edited 7 Apr 22:15]

If we play the way we did against Brum we’re not winning 2 let alone 5 |  | |  |
| Southampton just became a must not lose game on 22:25 - Apr 7 with 2189 views | Guthrum | Only if our form (which is not far off theirs) suddenly drops. Given we have six points on them, better GD and a game in hand. |  |

Nah, it’s part of the fun at this stage of the season. |  | |  |
| Southampton just became a must not lose game on 22:32 - Apr 7 with 2099 views | SuffolkPunchFC | Even if they do, it’s likely we finish ahead of them. That’s mental from Southampton by SuffolkPunchFC 7 Apr 22:28Our points return would have to take a downward turn that we haven’t seen since the start of the season to be caught by Southampton. If they win all games left they hit 84, so we need 12 points from 7 games.
If you look at our points return on a rolling 7 game run, our worse return is 10 from the first 7 games of the season. Since Oct/Nov we’ve returned 13-16 points from every 7 games, except once when it was 12. And before then we were mostly returning 12-13.
The average 7 game points haul from Oct/Nov has been 14.5
We need to become much worse than we’ve been for over 6 months to not hit 84+ points. Of course it’s possible, but given our consistency it seems unlikely. |  | |  |

I make you right. https://www.footballwebpages.c We only need to win 4 and draw one ( not beyond the bounds of possibility ). Would be nice to get something out of the Norwich though. |  | |  |
| Southampton just became a must not lose game on 00:17 - Apr 8 with 1609 views | BouncebackIpswich | Not a chance Southampton finish second. They'd need to be flawless and Ipswich, Millwall and Boro all collapse. Stop getting your knickers in a twist man |  |

Not sure but they are the form team have 4 at home and the 2nd place teams have been bottling it for weeks, just making a point they could sneak it and have to be considered a threat. If we can avoid defeat to them it should be enough to put them out of it, they remind me a bit of Forest when they went up. |  |

Looking at the table you'd have to be optimistic, however, factor in recent performances, busy schedule, 5 away and the pessimistic view kicks in. Currently, I just want to beat that lot and double them or at the very least avoid defeat. |  |

| Southampton just became a must not lose game on 07:12 - Apr 8 with 1223 views | Wallingford_Boy | Can’t see them dropping many points now, they’re just playing so well. We could really do with a point v them. And definitely avoid defeat Saturday too! |  |
