Do We Want Southampton To Win Tonight ?

v Preston

Might need them to have half a shout at autos against Leeds last day.

Or will a win tonight harm our chances particularly if we don't beat them next week?

[Leicester_Loyal]

Probably a draw the best result? Means Preston won't have anything to play for when we play them, and hopefully that'll be the same when we play Saints.

 

Preston win or draw would be fine IMO, but I'm leaning towards a draw.

[James_lcfc]

Definitely prefer they lost tonight.

Like your logic 👍 l was torn between the permutations 

[SouthStandUpperTier]

Just win 3 out of our 4 remaining games. Then it doesn't matter what anyone else does.

If we have to worry about Southampton given the points buffer we still have on them, then we haven’t done our job anyway and don’t deserve to go up. 
 

Good point about Preston being out of the mix when we play them so tempting for a Southampton win on that basis. The point of them having something to play for against Leeds is moot really given we play them first. 

[foxfanazer]

Yeah let's have another team on our tails. We know how good we are under pressure 

[Angus Scott]

We definitely want a Preston win as Southampton are still a danger to us.

Even if Preston win they will still be 5 points behind Norwich with only 3 games to play & they have a minus goal difference so I would say they are out of contention

[Foxmeister]

Preston win for me, they could still be on the beach before we play them.

[moore_94]

Nope, Preston win

 

If they win tonight and Saturday and we don’t beat West Brom it means they can go into our game against them next week knowing a win would put them above us

 

It has been annoying having Ipswich and Leeds to deal with we don’t want another one

I'm hoping for a Southampton Loss or a Draw. 

 

For no other reason than I just can't stand Martin. 

 

 

[whoareyaaa]

Preston win or draw

[beepee1984]

If Southampton beat Preston & us in their 2 games in hand, there’ll be 4 teams within 2 points at the top of the table - given our current form how does that help us? 
 

Ipswich, Southampton & Leeds to lose every match please (or a draw when Southampton play Leeds)! 

[Ric Flair]

Draw please

[bovril]

Or we could just win our games.

[Les-TA-Jon]

Not sure why people are discounting Southampton? They could still win the league! they have the same maximum points as Leeds?

 

Maximums:

 

Leicester 100

Ipswich 98

Leeds 96

Southampton 96

 

We win any 2 of our games and we're up IMO - Leeds/Southampton wouldn't be able to drop any points...

To be fair, it's 9 points gained by us/lost by Leeds/Southampton 

 

If we can win any 2 of our remaining games, we're very likely up. 

[StanSP]

Lose. Break their momentum.

think I'd prefer a 3 horse race rather than 4 (obviously would rather a 2er but heyho

[Chelmofox]

Actually don't care. Saturday 12.30 is all i care about.

The are arguments for all outcomes but I agree a draw seems best. That Leeds match at the end could still be pivotal and we will likely want Southampton to get a result. So much can happen in the meantime though and even if saints are in the playoffs they will want to keep match sharp. Best thing is to win three ourselves.

Leeds and Southampton both have the same potential max points, so wanting Southampton to 'need' a result in the final game and take points off Leeds depends entirely on how both teams do between now and then. They're both an equal threat. 

[Leicesterpool]

Draw i think
