Pardew won't be too gutted if Saints don't make top six
12:07pm Friday 5th March 2010 in
-
- By Adam Leitch » Chief Sports Writer
ALAN Pardew believes Saints can be promoted this season – but will not be devastated if they don’t.
The Saints boss, whose team are in a rich vein of form going into tomorrow’s match at Tranmere, is philosophical in his approach.
He recognises that a team capable of scoring five goals in back-to-back games could yet make a charge to the top six, despite entering this weekend 14 points adrift.
But, for the long term success of the team, Pardew, below, can see that advantages could be gained by spending another season in League One in which Saints would hopefully win the title.
He said: “I want to get in the play-offs and I feel this team can get promoted – there is no doubt in my mind about that.
“But another year of winning wouldn’t be a bad thing for this young team.
“I’m not going to be sitting here absolutely devastated if we don’t get in there because I know this team will go very, very well next year.
“We’ve got a lot of young players who might need to get used to winning rather than creeping in, getting through the play-offs and then find themselves in the Championship where we’re stepping up a level and not having it our own way.
“When you get it your own way, when you keep winning and you go up a division, if you can have 18 months of that, you really believe you’re going to win no matter what the opposition are.
“I don’t think we’ve got that belief yet but it’s growing.”
Pardew currently has his wish for the remainder of the season with Saints in the top two form sides in League One.
Scoring five goals against both Walsall and Huddersfield as well as beating league leaders Norwich underlines the quality of the side but Pardew knows Saints need to keep players fit to have a chance of a top six finish this season.
“If we can keep some of the key players fit – because all teams have key players, Drogba for Chelsea, Lambert for us – then I expect to be in the top form of the top two,”
said Pardew.
“Whether that is going to be enough to get in the play-offs I don’t know.
“We had a slow start, a sticky part in the middle where we were drawing games - without losing - that we perhaps should have won with big cup runs and we’ve ended up in a position now where we’re a long way off.
“We’re going to need the opposition now to lose and draw games and one of them maybe having a sticky run for us to get in.”

We are entering the run-in and I can see some of our rivals faltering due to injuries and suspensions etc.. and being unable to replace players with the sort of calibre needed to push on in the final games.

As some one has said then next 4 games if we can go with all wins and see what the other teams do.
What I can see is it all being on the last home game and if that is so 32k + at SMS and us needing to win and someone needing to lose so there would be no finger nails by the end of that game
But this is the best season for a lonng time it's good being a Saints fan so!!!!

They both have excellent home form, Hudders haven't lost and Millwall have lost just once, so if they are to slip up it may be on their travels.
I think MK Dons and Bristol Rovers are catchable, over 14 games, and don't expect them to close the gap on the top 6.
I disagree with AP's comments that it may be too soon for some of the players to get promoted.
The manner in which we have beaten Norwich, Walsall and Huddersfield indicates that, when we are on our game, we are a cut above the best in this league, and by that reckoning should be quite comfortable in the middle of the CCC.

The man has worked bl**dy miracles in a very short time and it would be totally unfair if he were bootted out, frankly.
A season and a half of winning in L1 (which, I agreee, is a fun, down-to-earth division to be in) is just the right sort of confidence-building and grounding for promotion to the Championship.

Dean Hammond says the team is gelling the best he's seen a team gel.
Radhi and Jose are loving the pairing and are becoming instinctive together.
When the Echo first put up the survey it showed a slim majority believed we would make the play offs..
I stopped believing in us making the p/os after the Orient first half, believing the team had not consistency or real team constitution. We leaked regularly, couldn't score from corners and kept missing easy chances (still do to a degree) but Saints have suddenly sparked since Jose joined the team and Lee Barnard has become Rickie's necessary partner. We can do it.
No need to flap about it but we can and that's a chance we should hang onto as long as we can... go for it.

We definatly have a team now that would challenge in the Championship, and as said before if in this div we would boss it.
There may however be a test of the resolve of the men i charge if big offers are put in for our stars.
I would hope any advances would be rebuffed.
This team with have looks the strongest we have had for a long long time, and i can see a spirt reminicant of the Strachan era.
All is good only way is up from here until may.

I think hes spot on to be honest, he openly says this team is good enough for promotion, what we need is to win our next 4 games and see what position were in, hopefully we would of made up some ground up on 6th place and then take it from there, one things for sure we are gonna be on tender hooks from now till the end of the season, so sit back and enjoy.

Mark Hughes was given money to spend, and bar one flop signing, he spent very well, signed the likes of Bridge, Barry, and Tevez... but they didnt start as the arabs expected, and he was sacked. In came Mancini, results would be better, at least thats what the arabs assumed... that hasnt been the case. Why you ask? because putting together a group of good players doesnt effectively produce a ''team'' - to build an entire new team it takes time as well as money, and when you sign 13 new players, who have never even met eachother before, and put them into a game as professional as english football... you cant expect success over night. We have had some bad games and some bad results... but now that we have gelled as a team, we can improve on where our weak points are and then push on next season... -10 at the start and an entire squad rebuild is a long term investment. Its not a case of signing everyone who the fans consider to be good, im sure city fans were jumping up and down over the Robinho signing... but he hardly performed did he?

All I meant was that since we beat Walsall,then Huddersfield nearly every comment on here has been backing the Saints and AP 100%.
Yours has been the only negative comments and I believe that all stems back to not being able to get a Wembley ticket. Up until then all your comments have been complimentary.

What kills me is the stage management of the Whole endevour worried that the "TEAM" might not deliver what the fans want and the associated fear that we,The Fans might leave in droves. It aint going to happen cos we all know that the only way is up!!!!!!!!! SW=yeah-vast...says it all! COYRAWAPMACHINE!!!!! !!PS: Cheers for the ticket Slugger for Dirty leeds! And may I take this opportunity to encourage all of you to donate a quid or two to the charity that Slugger and his mates are supporting! Whats a couple of quid in the overall scheme of things???

My point was NOT personal,and was never intended to be. All I meant was that since we beat Walsall,then Huddersfield nearly every comment on here has been backing the Saints and AP 100%. Yours has been the only negative comments and I believe that all stems back to not being able to get a Wembley ticket. Up until then all your comments have been complimentary.
Been negative about the, oh do you know what i don't want to go over it again.
Thank you for taking an interest in my past posts anyway.

I don't think Saints will have anything to fear from the other teams coming down either. We WILL be the strongest team in the division should we not make the play-offs this season. FACT!
