By Gordon Simpson, Senior Sports Reporter
SAINTS’ play-off dream is in danger of being derailed as the club embark on a gruelling period that could see them face seven consecutive midweek matches.
The fixture list chaos begins this weekend when, after visiting Millwall, Saints may have to endure nearly two months of playing without a break between Saturdays. They are already guaranteed to play a minimum of five midweek games in that period.
But, with a rearranged date for the visit of Swindon still to be set and the potential of an FA Cup replay with Ipswich, it could become a horrific set of fixtures.
The congestion has arisen largely because of their FA Cup run, which has necessitated new dates for the Brentford and Swindon league games.
Their path to the southern area final of the Johnstone’s Paint Trophy has also meant a further two midweek clashes appearing on the schedule, against MK Dons, and the postponement of Saturday’s match against Huddersfield further exacerbated the situation.
Football League rules state that any postponed fixtures must be played at the “earliest reasonable opportunity”.
Full story in today's Southern Daily Echo.

What is it about professional footballers? They love playing and surely playing is better than training! OK the squad does look a bit thin and lacking real depth - but surely that's what is trying to be resolved now! Every successful club plays more than one game a week esecially if in Cup competitions! Gee-wizz I bet the players are really moaning about playing twice a week instead of training for seven days and then only having one game a week. All I can think about is the amount of time I'm going to have to dedicate to my laptop/miles in a car over the next few weeks - still it's got to better than Eastenders! Where's news of a press conferrence or medicals being done at SMS or Staplewood? Come on Echo get on to it - rumours are we are trying to sign three players to my knowledge. Get in your cars and look for a story rather than stating the bleeding obvious!!!

Nothing to say wrote:Well don't read or pass comment on it then! Even with a strengthened squad, the number of fixtures and injuries we pick up will ultimately decide if we make the play-offs. If we play fringe players (like Wooton) against MK Dons and Ipswich, we could easilly find ourselves out of the 2 cup competitions but I don't feel this would necessarily help our league chances. To reach the play-offs from where we are now is a very tall order, but possible (14 wins and 4 draws needed from remaining 22 games to achieve 74 points).

Just a thought, but but those of you who come on here day after day just to criticise the Echo, can you answer the following question? If you were operating a business and day after day someone entered your place of work for no other reason than to insult you, your work and your employees, would you allow it to continue or would you tell that person to p1ss off and never come back? I believe it would be the latter of the two choices above. If I was in control of this forum you guys would be history, not because I would be trying to stifle "freedom of speech" but simply because, in my opinion, the well being of my staff (ie the reporters) is far more important than your petty minded attitudes and comments. As others have said. If you don't like the way the Echo reports, then find something more to your liking. SW is tiny-safe, but I figure tiny-mind would be more apt for those idiots that continue to attack the Echo. Apologies to those who only wish to read football comments but these guys are getting on my moobs.

I've got some as well so we may have to build an extension. I'm a plasterer by trade and now have my own roofing company which is a start. I'm sure we can rustle up most of the other trades required( Paul from Woolston is a Brickie) and some of the older kids can be labourers. Have you got much room for the extension and what's it like getting planning permission in gosport?E-M27 wrote:Consider it done, ill send a bus, as long as Slugger doesn't take custody of all those blooming kidsgosportsaint wrote:Plenty of room at your gaff then when we all get divorced and kicked out Any chance you could pick us up as we'll all still be pi**ed and won't be able to drive and won't have enough to pay the taxi fare to gosport!!Tirau Dan wrote:Not a problem Red, White and Blue, Liver already shot, Missus done a runner, so Saints all the way, Happy DaysE-M27 wrote: No mention of the fans having to shell out loads of money on beer when we HAVE to celebrate all those wins twice a week,or the damage it may cause to all our livers and relationships with our other halves!!!

Just got back from seeing my Mum in Poole Hospital. She is eighty years young today! Yesterday I should have been down the Ocean Terminal seeing her off on a half world cruise. She cashed in all her premium bonds and was realy looking forward to the trip of a lifetime. Last thursday she slipped on ice whilst out shopping and tore a load of muscles. Doctors have said that she cant go on the trip because she can barely walk. Bummer or what!!! Not a total disaster because she was smart enough to take out insurance and should get most of her money back. Only possitive to come out of it is that I,as a dutiful and loving son will go down to Highcliffe on friday and monday nights untill she is fully recovered. That puts me geographicaly within a stones throw of SMS on a Saturday and Tuesday......MMMMMMM M...Wonder what I should do???? ;-) COYRAWAPMACHINE

Costa Baz wrote:Well said Costa, the neggy comments make me laugh tbh, if you dont like it dont post on here simple as, leave it to the posters who dont give a toss and just want to natter about Saints however the info is related, as Journalist of the year Suicide Cpt Swing stated last night what are we...stupid?!! Poor old Mandric, he is to appear on charges of deception and tax evasion while Chairman of the nearly gone and forgotten "few", just Bagpuss left and the football world will be instantly cleaner.
Damned if they do, damned if they don't. If they post a story based on rumour, they get criticised because they cannot substantiate their comments. If they ignore the rumours or the obvious and fail to post anything they would get criticised for missing the boat or not caring. With weather conditions being as they are, and no football to report on, I am happy to read speculative journalism, because I, like many others on these forums, am intelligent enough to realise what it is. Would you guys prefer that the Echo ignore the obvious and report nothing, so you can complain at their lack of effort, or would you prefer they post stories based on rumour and speculation, which at least gives the supporters the opportunity to discuss the possibilities? I generally enjoy reading the comments on here, because there are a lot of caring fans out there with wicked senses of humour, willing to share their feelings of excitement with other fans, so with that in mind, I would prefer something to read, than nothing, even if it is just staing the obvious or based on rumour.
