Legod Third Coming Posted 5 December, 2009 Share Posted 5 December, 2009 I wonder what odds you can get on Saints to be promoted at the moment? Probably worth a fiver! After nine games I backed us at 18/1 for promotion and 150/1 to win the league. In my book both results are still possible, albeit Charlton and Leeds have to wobble like a Jelly with springs for feet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colinjb Posted 5 December, 2009 Share Posted 5 December, 2009 Just back from the game, what a great atmosphere it was in the away end! Really good fun! On the negative side, Murty had a poor game, his passing was extremely erratic and looked almost a little out of his depth. Ricky looked knackered but took his goal extremely well and Lloyd James needs to practice taking people on but otherwise his workrate and skill was outstanding. Our defense looked rather shakey at times, we need a bit of youth and enthusiasm in the centre back position, needs to be a priority for Jan. Positive things now, we utterly utterly ooutclassed one of the leagues in form teams in their own back yard. Our midfield was dominant, we always troubled them when we went forward and totally deserved the 3 points. Could easily have had 4 or 5 goals today. Loved it today, loved it.

Legod Third Coming Posted 5 December, 2009 Share Posted 5 December, 2009 **** me :smt103 7500 large! drinkypoos on you, if it comes in! It is highly unlikely. My better bets are: 6/1 Denman for the Gold Cup 14/1 Zaynar for the Champion Hurdle 25/1 Forpaddydeplasterer for the Queen Mum (although I think Master Minded will win) I also have us at 13/2 to with the JPT.

Professor Posted 5 December, 2009 Share Posted 5 December, 2009 This was a massive game. If we had lost to Walsall it wouldn't have been a disgrace given their great home record, and we would have been back in the bottom 4. Instead we outclassed them and have begun the climb. Its too early to get excited about a playoff place as it gets harder as you get higher up the table, where the teams win more of their own games.

S-Clarke Posted 5 December, 2009 Share Posted 5 December, 2009 I always love having a look on the oppo's forums after we've won... ''They were quality all over the park, we werent really in it until all over. Sansara very light weight they spotted that and the visiting scouts will have noticed to i'm sure. Wanted us to show our play off ambitions today, I saw 8-14th. S'ton possibly the best side at Bescot for years.'' ''We got taught a lesson today and id even say Southampton a much better side than Leeds came down..!'' ''I think that bit of class caught the lad out. But no he's not the scapegoat. They sure did their homework on Steve Jones and they looked a class act.'' happy days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, my bet would come in too... I find that attitude rather strange. It isn't just beating Walsall that has provoked a renewed positive reaction, but the accumulation of great results and form. Remember, this is Southampton FC we are talking about. The perrenial let-us-down-in-the-end team. However, a slight word of caution. Leeds Utd are after Tranmere Rovers. I'm doing the predictor, on the Beeb website, and it's a tedious slog this early in the season. Although I'm predicting the same good form, we are having a harder time getting much higher than we are at present. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its too early to get excited about a playoff place as it gets harder as you get higher up the table, where the teams win more of their own games. True, Prof. But one of those teams was ... Walsall. I suspect that the discussion inside the dressing room, but certainly not outside it, is that missing the playoffs would be a failure. Build the confidence and then re-set the goals.

krissyboy31 Posted 5 December, 2009 Share Posted 5 December, 2009 (edited) Excellent today. We completely outplayed them and Connolly's performance was something else. They couldn't live with him. Walsall were pretty poor TBF, apart from Byfleet they didn't really have anything. Edit: Officially 1,791 away fans out of an attendance of 5,600.

Murty's passing was as poor as I've seen in many a year. Good defending though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murty's passing was as poor as I've seen in many a year. Good defending though. I agree with that though I think quite a few players were having problems keeping the ball on the pitch on that wing (whether it was the wind, a slight slope or just crap play). Quite amusing when he put it out of the stadium and just stood there, scratching his chin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedAndWhite91 Posted 5 December, 2009 Share Posted 5 December, 2009 Here's my attempt at ratings, 6 being the average, meaning they had an ok game, like on football manager Bialkowskli - 6 - Didn't have all that much to do but did well when called upon. Murty - 6 - Passing was a bit dodgy but some good link up play with James, and fairly solid. Jaidi - 6 - Average game, did what he had to do. Perry - 6 - As above really. Harding - 7 - Looked good again. Hammond - 8 - Seemed to be everywhere, got a goal and held it together in the middle well. Schneiderlin - 7 - Nothing sensational but played well, great ball to Connolly for the first goal. James - 8 - Yes, shock, but James played well today at right wing, a definite improvement from past weeks. Lallana - 6 - Had a quiet game, had one good effort towards the end. Lambert - 8 - Lambert is such a good player, and proved it again today. Connolly - 9 - A class above, scored one, set up one and his shot practically set up Hammond's goal. MOTM for me. Antonio - 8 - Looked good when he came on for the last 20 minutes, lively, everywhere, and was unlucky not to get a goal. Wotton - 6 - Just held it together at the end like he usually does nowadays. Paterson - 6 - Only was on for about 5 minutes. Our fans - 9 - Their fans - 2 - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
