Saints vs Colchester - Post Match Reaction


Recommended Posts

Same old predicatable Saints. Whenever we have a man sent off we go on to lose, When the opposing team have a man sent off, we don't win. Mentality is all wrong at the club, and this needs to be addressed asap otherwise we will be in a relegation battle again.

We're heading for a season or more in the 4th division unless something changes soon. I can't believe that we haven't won a single game yet.

Very very disapointed. 3 league games at home without a win - not good. Even worse when they have 10 players. I dont want Pardew to go or anything like that & I am not expecting miracles, but 4 points from 18 is not good enough.

Sounded dreadful on Solent - how long before we win? how long before we create some decent chances? decent movement?? better be ready for Yeovil or I'll want my money back before we kick off!

Can't win em all.

 

 

4 points from 18 .... could be worse i suppose :)

Not much, if Brighton hang on we will still be 9 points behind the team immediately above us and 11 from 20th place, so that's 1 point worse off than when we started, and we will be the only team in the division without a win.

Excuses I don't want to hear. 1) Pardew hasn't been here long, 2) We had no pre-season, 3) The club nearly went out of existence, 4) The ref done it, 5) We were unlucky, 6) We've got better players coming in.

Quite simply none of the above can possibly justify zero victories in 6 fixtures in this lowly league. Now we can't even beat a side down to ten men for most of the game. Forget the ten points deduction, even without that we would be sitting proudly second to bottom of the table just ahead of Tranmere on goal difference. Unacceptable!

All of these excuses will be used. Just wait-

Must admit while we are behind in preparation due to the takeover dragging on, we really haven't got the time to ease in to this league. We are now in a worse position than we were at the start of the season, 11pts from safety.

 

The longer we go without a win the harder it'll be to get one, this is always the case and this is compounded by the fact that we started so far behind the other teams.

 

Games like today's are exactly the type we need to win if we are to avoid relegation again. Next match up and it's Charlton. After watching their match earlier on Sky I don't hold out much hope that we'll have reduced the deficit any more after that match.

I am saddened to say we got what I predicted on the pre match thread. After watching Charlton today then I cannot see anything other than a defeat next week at the Valley. All our hopes seem to be rested on a player that Alan Pardew and the fans have not seen play yet. What a sad state of affairs that is.

 

On the positive we seem to be creating chances which is a very good thing. If we were not creating then I think Pardew would be more concerned. We just need players to start taking the opportunities and I feel we will start to win matches.

 

Come on Saints we have to start to improve and pick up points as this is already becoming a grave situation!

the team needs time to gel?

 

11 points away from safety - fact :(

Can I just check, of all the 173 times there have been comments about a form team thrashing us in the next game, how many times has it actually happened?

 

In my memory, we always perform a bit better and draw or lose those games marginally. It's the games you think we might have a chance in that we turn in the woeful performances and lose by 4 or 5.

 

I bet Charlton don't win by more than 1 goal. Wouldn't be surprised to see another draw either.

 

Better hope Waigo is f*cking good then

Posted

Sounded desperately poor - especially against 10 men. Need width yet we leave out a fit again Holmes?

 

Getting a little concerned whether Pardew is able to shape a winning team - 12 games without a win at Charlton (I think?) and now 6 more here. Not panicking but concern levels rising given our points handicap start...

The -10 is still buying a lot of people a lot of excuses.

 

Just forget it. This is league 1. The minimum expectation should be playoffs, so we should make that and then if the -10 puts us mid-table, so be it. But to not even get near it pathetic. To be second bottom in real terms as we are now is disgraceful.

 

Not because of Pardew, but all these players who claim huge wages for this league, supposedly think they're good enough for higher levels, yet they can't beat absolute rubbish in this league.

 

We need a midfield and we need Saga, that's clear. That means half our team weren't there today.

 

Mills is a must. Papa Waigo will be too IMO, on the right. Which leaves Hammond and Morgan central, as I don't see James adding enough creativity, he should be back up for Hammond.

 

Where does that leave Lallana, I don't know. Up front hopefully, competing with Lambert and Saga.

 

Wise words. Mills is a must. Will have to see what Waigo has to offer. I'm not holding me breath. It would just be nice to see us score some goals and actually win a game.

Spot on except i think Lallana should be playing in the middle of the pitch with Hammond. He has the talent, so let's play him in a natural position for him to actually have the ability to influence and control games. He must be fed up being played out of position week after week.

Why remove a striker after 60 minutes and replace him with a midfielder if you're playing against 10 at home?

 

Seems like a bizarre decision from my coucho potato position. Could anyone clarify?

like ive said and many more this season already....WE NEED WIDTH. Playing lallana shouldnt be an option when he dont fit in, mills is miles better on the left. Papa could play on the right and saga upfront?

Posted

So, still firmly on track for a top two finish with the play-offs as a saftey net then - looking good, looking good.

 

Just as an aside, don't we need to get some points to finish in the top two..?

Posted
He might well be, he's better than what we have been playing, but I think Mills is more important right now, having seen him pre-season and for S****horpe.

 

I agree, they both have some PACE, something seriously lacking throughout the team

 

fingers crossed
