hackedoff Posted 14 September, 2008 Share Posted 14 September, 2008 Let's see how big the crowd is next week before we make comments like that. This club is now financed almost entirely through gate receipts and if we carry on with the 'cheap' option we shall end up with the cheap result. The cheap option got us relegated from the prem.Nobody learnt from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saint1977 Posted 14 September, 2008 Share Posted 14 September, 2008 Tell me who is gagging to buy the club? LC would have had to sell the lot as well,we are paying for the excesses the last 2 seasons. If we stay out of administration that is a 15 point gain. Dont give up just yet, I know it is bleak but why not stay behind the team, they need us. I agree with you Nick but the club is over-valued and as awful an option it is - and it would be awful - admin would be the only way to resolve the share deadlock but then you risk not having an SFC at all. I'm only passing on what I've heard from good sources and the board are pretty desperate and that admin is seriously being mooted if results don't pick up. I think JP's tactics have been shocking in the last 2 games but who else would improve things on the pitch? I really fear for this club's future right now. LC does take some of the blame too, costs should have been cut much earlier but the overheads were always going to be unsustainable once the parachute money ran out.

Micky Posted 14 September, 2008 Share Posted 14 September, 2008 FFS. We were seen off by Ollie's red card (should have been yellow) and an incredibly bad decision from Tthe linesman for their second goal. Up to that point we were competing if not playing better than a team that is full of professional players. Our kids were outstanding today, when they had to chase the game, they got caught - remember we were playing with ten men for over an hour. As for playing Rudi - ****, doesn't want to be here, and is after a money move. Perry - old, knackered and no vision. John is the only one that I would have used today. Davis was outstanding in goal today - MOTM in my opinion. We don't have the resource, we need to get behind these kids - they are playing their hearts out - stop your frigging whinging on this board. COYR Shiiite...!! So are you telling me that our players are not professional players...??? We may be playing kids, and yes today they did not get the rub of the green - who knows though, this game could make or break some of them. There were some poor decissions, but we still never really troubled QPR - next couple of games will be interesting to see how the 'kids' react.

Guan 2.0 Posted 14 September, 2008 Share Posted 14 September, 2008 Unlucky today, got sucker-punched at the start, thought OL should have a yellow card and severe warning, the second goal was miles offside, and if those elements had worked out we could have been looking at a draw at least. I doubt we will be in the relegation places 10 games in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cambsaint Posted 14 September, 2008 Share Posted 14 September, 2008 Youngsters need nurturing, they need dipping into first team football and taken out. They need experianced pro's along side them. If they're thrown in on mass and keep getting beat it's going to have an effect on their careers. Did Steve Williams not become a proper player by playing alongside Alan Ball, or Matt with Jimmy Case. We need older heads in there and we need them now, otherwise we're going to ruin this crop of youngsters. I understand we cant have players like Bally and JC, but we have Stern John and Perry. We can also use the loan window to get some in.......... Very true St Paul; before I read your piece I was remembering just how young inexperienced and gauche some of our great players like Channon, and Williams looked at the start of their careers. Williams was only the player he became because of Alan Ball. Ideally you would only blood three or four youngsters at a time, with our dire financial situation you could agree to trying to go six pros and five youngsters; but I am afraid if continued this brave/foolhardy experiment will end in relegation and administration. Additionally, are we not still contracted to pay those senior pros we have left languishing hoping to offload them? If so why the hell are we not playing them, surely their play and win bonuses aren't so high as to cripple us? Surely even Lowest can see that only the true super-fanatics will turn up to watch their once great team ritually humiliated time and time again. the extra gate money that success will bring will pay the bonuses.

Weston Saint Posted 14 September, 2008 Share Posted 14 September, 2008 The team go a goal down in 37 secs, go down to 10 men on 30 mins, get back in the game, then the linesman misses Stewart already a yard offside running behind the defence before the freekick is taken and lets him score. We then have to attack with only 10 men, of course we are going to leave gaps. I thought the team was brilliant, their heads didn't drop, they tried until the end. They played good football, the goal was outstanding, they created chances whilst Kelvin Davis had a great game. It's a good job they didn't have the benefit of the hindsight, possessed by the negatives, or they wouldn't have got out of bed this morning. There is far too much unwarranted negative criticism, by some who clearly haven't a clue, as to the club's predicament, we have only one team. All the negative binding isn't going to change a thing.

Totally agree. I was impresed that we managed to get back to 1-1 away from home and after going down to 10 men. It was always going to be an uphill struggle after letting a goal in after 30 seconds and a central defender being sent off after 30 mins. If we can sort out that enduring thorn in our side - the defence - and get better at scoring from our own set pieces and defending other set pieces, we will be ok.

yorkie Posted 14 September, 2008 Share Posted 14 September, 2008 I thought it was a good effort today - playing the last 60mins with 10-men. Lallana's goal was fantastic - everything we expect from a Saints team - passing and movement. It was a joy to watch. Infact at times I thought we would actually sneak it as at no time did QPR dominate us. If only we could defend! Their second goal was definitely offside - but that lino was wrong on more than one occassion. No complaints really. Even though we lost - and looked well beaten - we were pushing the game right to the end. We may become the whipping boys of the league - but they do play the game in the spirit I want to see in a side. There are certain players that do stand out - but why Dyer is used I question that. It was frustrating at times because we tend to make 1-pass too many. We look lightwieght and short up front - perhaps Pekhard will sort that out. Finally well done Dexter Blackstock - you c*nt!

alpine_saint Posted 14 September, 2008 Share Posted 14 September, 2008 Alpine please tell me how there is a different way. I can categorily tell you the banks backed Crouch as long as he agreed to sell anything he could. RL came in and implimented the restructuring.To inject new faces into the side to replace you have to go for the free option, and that is playing the reserves.Loans and any other signings cost considerable sums of money, unless you can players free of contract.I dont feel like an arguement about it, just give us a well thought out strategy that costs nunpence. I've told you already that I dont think Lowe made enough effort to consider players in terms of "value to the team" when he got his red marker pen out on the wage list in July, and subsequently made no effort to argue the case for keeping any of them to the bank.

Calm yourself young man - I was merely pointing to the fact that you classed our opposition as 'Professional' players, whilst you seem happy to disassociate our players with any professional body. They are all professional sportsmen - yes ours are younger than most, but if you misguidedly think that other teams are going to make any sort of allowances for the fact that they have just come from the Reserve Team or the Academy - then you are sadley mistaken. Yes the kids need time to learn - I will support them to the bitter end, because I support SFC. But be in no doubt that we are not only gambling with the future of the club, but also with some of the futures of the kids. This 'baptism of fire' (and that's truely what it is for lots of our kids), could not only damage the club - but also some of the current crop of players.
