  1. I presume you thought exactly the same thing last year when Hudds were breathing down our necks? Hudds pushed us EVEN closer than WH and Reading are doing and we still made it. I think/hope (touch wood) that the current team are made of sterner stuff. The Saints of old wouldn't have beaten Leeds or clawed it back at Millwall in such dramatic fashion. Believe. We can do this.
  2. Sitting next to the T.Lee fan club, don't have the heart to tell them he's injured...
  3. Unbelievable that guly up front ahead of sharp! In the ground now and just heard. What is going on with billy?
  4. I hope not.
  5. Time for Sharp to take his chance...I have a feeling he will and will get amongst the goals on Saturday.
  6. A win would also mean that Leeds have confidence going into the game against WHU this weekend.

    Leave off guly

    Much much better in the second half. In the first half he was dreadful...much too casual and his passes just didn't find the target at all. Was pleasantly surprised with is performance in the second though so good on him for that.
  8. He did **** all because he was only on for ten minutes and we had already shut up shop and we knocking it round midfield and the back. He didn't exactly have much time to do anything. For the record I agree with Sour Mash, thought he looked fired up, a bit more pacey and held the ball up well. Clearly itching to get back in the team.
  9. So he was very very poor yet did two crucial things? Thats an oxymoron if ever I saw one. He was fine today, set up the first goal brilliantly and caused Barnsley no end of bother as they had 2/3 people marking him at all times. He wasn't up to his usual standards, but thats to be expected. But 'very very poor'...no, just no.
  10. This is my position exactly. There's making a good run, and there's making a run which is capable of being picked out!
  11. Pires? That's one of the stranger comparisons I've heard...surely Pires goal scoring prowess was what made him the player he was...you can hardly say that about Morgan!
  12. Wouldn't have given Lee an 8. Did brilliantly for the second goal but other than that I wasn't that impressed. In the first half he got knocked off the ball a lot, miscontrolled it and should have hit it rather than setting it up for Guly in the area. Second half he was better but ALWAYS offside - perhaps because we weren't picking out his runs but still he needs to stay onside. Thought Sharp looked a bit better than against Ipswich when he came on a bit faster and strong holding the ball up, don't think you could call him 'quiet' when he only had 10 minutes and we had the game won - all we wanted to do was knock it around the back rather than going forward so he didn't exactly have any chance. Thought Lallana was by far the best player on the pitch today, closely followed by Fox who I thought was quality. Did brilliant to win the ball high up the pitch in some dangerous positions.
  13. Great news.
  14. Very disappointing to lose the lead, especially with Reading winning but it is still in our own hands admittedly with a bit more pressure on us. A win against Barnsley and everything could have changed - who knows what Reading will do vs Leicester? Its in our own hands..don't panic just yet everyone there is a long old way to go.
  15. For goodness sake, last week it was Birmingham who were going to win the league at a canter with us dropping down into the playoffs and now they are 5th and we are top! I swear that there has to be one 'unstoppable' challenger from below otherwise this forum would go into some kind of melt down. Yes last night was very disappointing given that Reading won, but there is still a long way to go. We are still in the driving seat and if we do our job properly then we will go up in the top 2. Teams will come at us and then fade away like Brum did, but there have only been 2 teams consistently up there for the majority of the season and they are us and WHU. Who would have thought Brum would lose to Forest and then throw away a 2 goal lead at home to Derby - it just shows ANYTHING can happen in this league. I'd much rather have our run in than Reading's and I'm confident (touch wood) that they will drop points, just like Brum have done recently. No doubt if Boro or Blackpool come roaring back at the expense of Reading they will be likely league winners whilst we lose in the playoffs.... We will be fine.
  16. 2-0 Cardiff so poor don't know why we were worried. God I hate west ham
  17. How many games have we dominated away this season and come back empty handed? Today was the complete opposite! As has been said the stuff of champions and very much like mk dons last season. KD was simply unbelievable, me and my mates were commenting today before the game how he might not be prem quality. Almost fate that he proved us wrong today. Great goal by Rickie, who cares how many chances you create when we have sir rick to bang in our only chance

    Billy Sharp

    One of the biggest moments of the season is perhaps a slight exaggeration!
  19. Sharp to start I hope, if we persevere he will come good and we are rattling them in since he's been in the side. Dropping him after 3 appearances will do us and him no favours at all.

    Danny Fox

    Really liked Harding last season, thought he was one of our best players. However, Fox is a step up in terms of quality. Whenever Harding has played at LB recently we haven't played well at all.
  21. Works perfectly fine on my Macbook and don't remember really having to install anything specific.
  22. What a day - 4-0 and back to our best it would seem! Glad to hear Jos is ok, hope the same is true of Billy (just because he missed a chance against WHU and Tad scored does not mean he isn't extremely important to us - I reckon he'll continue to be first choice for a while longer) Agree with those saying that we are actually much better squad wise now then when we got to the top earlier in the season. We've turned it around at just the right time it seems and with all these options on the bench I'd hope we're going to go on another run and reach the promised land. Come on boys! We can do it!
  23. Sharp will start I reckon. Although NA is loyal to Connolly he is to Sharp as well having worked with him before - he knows what Sharp can do and will give him the time to show us.
  24. But according tO big Sam and some random twitter journalist sharp is a cheat? Don't think so. Clear red, should be banned for more than 3 IMO - that's borderline assault grabbing someone by the neck.
  25. Ok I take your point, but 15 minutes of dominance at the beginning of a game for the home side who are top is hardly surprising! We don't know what would have happened if it had stayed 11 v 11. We would probably have got a foothold regardless of the sending off.
