Where are the points coming from?

Normally the last safe position is around 51/52 points, that means we need another 13 or 14 points. Where are we going to get them? Aren't those last two games against Exeter and Southend looking huge now.

Gibsons Beard · **Posted:** Wed Mar 17, 2010 11:02 pm

I think we will win at Tranmere bbolt

That will be 3 points for starters. I also think we will beat swindon, stockport and exeter. Thems the only points I can see us getting so it will be tight!

misterb2001 · **Posted:** Wed Mar 17, 2010 11:04 pm

i reckon if a team were to get to 48 points, they could well be safe this year....

we have 3 more than winnable home games against Brighton, Exeter & Stockport. I can also see us nicking a point against Colchester.

There are 3 winnable games away from home, if we show the guts & determination in Tranmere, Wycombe & Brentford.

This will give us the 14 points we might need without relying on having to go to Brentford for a result confised

Gibsons Beard · **Posted:** Wed Mar 17, 2010 11:07 pm

I doubt Brentford will have anything to play for on the last game so a win there would be a possibility.

paulus the woodgnome and a side salad · **Posted:** Wed Mar 17, 2010 11:07 pm

Weve already thrown far too many points away from winning positions, you can't do that as often as we have in a season, and expect to stay up.

I expected to see us fight for points at Yeovil, but we all know how that went.I think we're as good as down.

This season has felt like a re-run of the Scott debacle but only worse. I wouldn't be suprised at a similar outcome.

We've been on an awful run since november surely things have to change.
With Brown, Boyd and ODonovan surely we have quality to score the goals, its just keeping a fooooking clean sheet.
Thats the problem sadx

This season has seemed like a re-run of last year, and part of the one before.

The similarity with the Scott debacle is that it's been very obvious to anyone who watches Pools that we need a bit of man management and stronger leadership from the manager. Wasn't it stated that those mistakes wouldn't be made again?

Drift, drift, drift that’s all we’ve done for three seasons.

We almost deserve to get relegated.

Only a win could possibly change my mind that we could stay up - not even a draw would convince me

opinion ????????????

he's a fooking retard if he doesnt think pools will win another game all season. they just beat southend 3-0 and carlisle 4-1 in the last 2 home games, but he cant see us beating the likes of exeter and stockport ????? sorry but thats just shyte. he claims to support pools but every time theres a game on he is sat on this fooking message baord commenting on every goal pools concede.

all of you lot what have stopped going, fair enough, thats your prerogative. but it bolis my piss when blokes like mr elvis who has probably forgotten more than some of the peasants on here will ever know about pools, wont post on here anymore cos of negative shyte like that.

if you dont go to the games you have fook all to base your opinion on.

its just posting crap for the sake of it.

well if you want to do that theres another pools message board that im sure will be more than glad to have you.

I have to say I sort of agree with Chip on this, I rarely comment on games I havent been to and only base my opinion on Pools to what I have seen. I went to the last home game thought we were average but and average Pools side with a good striker was good enough against a dire South end team, I think the same can be said about Tranmere, Brighton and Exeter. We only have to play a bit better than we did against Southend and we WILL, beat these teams.

Poolie of Kent · **Posted:** Thu Mar 18, 2010 11:05 am

I think that's what we should be realistically be aiming for. I think that group of games around Easter will be crucial if we want to stay up, as we are playing teams that way more inconsistent than us.

We wont get anything against orient, cant remember last time we won there but I maybe wrong, they are also in more form compaired to us.

If we managed to beat them when they were top of the League, then we can beat them when they're down the bottom.

Apart from winning two out of the last 3 at Brisbane Road, we very rarely get anything at Orient.

It's the Sherpa Van Trophy the Sunday after Southampton which may be advantageous to us, it's the only factor stopping me from sticking a large wedge on Southampton.

That Chip talks a lot of sense in this thread.

48 points is a much more likely safe total this year in this polarised division where the top 7 teams are very good and the bottom six or so are terrible.

I see us finishing 14th or so.

There are some fans who really could lower their stress levels by seeing the glass half full rather than as they do now seeing the glass being first filled with wee, then broken, then shoved in their faces.

If someone could assure me that we would stay up this season even on goal difference (I couldnt care less how) and that Turner was replaced for next season then I would be as happy as a pig in shiit. I would have a big humungous smile on my face for the next few months (until the new season starts anyway! :wink:

aye they could save Pools I reckon

Southend are fu-cked already with their financial predicament

Maybe Exeter beating Wycombe wouldn't be SO bad? It kills Wycombe off - and then 4th bottom could be a 2 horse race between us and Gills (it wouldn't be like that if we could pick up points away from home like - if we actually did that tomorrow the gloom would lift everywhere)
