Form Is Back On Track

A few weeks ago I worried about Saints current form, over the long and short term is was only just over a point a game average, now we are right bang on track.

From the very start of this season I stated that two points per game ratio was the key to success and thats still very much the case as we head into the quarter of the season, the past few weeks have seen us get our form back and we now stand fourth in the Championships current form guide with 12 points from our last six games and this is bang on what we need.

I would say that we now stand seven wins from automatic promotion, thats seven wins from our last thirteen games a task that it entirely doable, of course there are a few teams right up our rear ends, but they have to win their games in hand first, if they all did so, which is obviously not that realistic, but we cant assume that, then our biggest threat to a top two spot will be Reading, however if we put their task into perspective, is our target is seven from thirteen, to finsh above us they need to win nine from fourteen, a very tough task, Birmingham for example would need to win ten from their fourteen, now that is very tough.

So having set the target we need to get those wins under the belt as quickly as possible, every win we notch up makes it a little harder for our rivals both physically but mentally, we need to look how we hunted down Huddersfield last season, they didnt show us much of a chink in their armour for a long time, but we kept winning and they cracked, we need to be mentally tougher than the Yorkshire club where, every game is must win now.

IT still all comes down to that two point average per game though, keep focused on that and it will all come together.
