Leicestersaint Posted 19 December, 2009 Posted 19 December, 2009 I fear we just haven't had enough penetration - at least they don't give up nowadays. there is still a chance.
SuperMikey Posted 19 December, 2009 Posted 19 December, 2009 For example? I'm a big fan of Febian Brandy at Man Utd, he's really pacy and is great on the ball. Helped Swansea get promoted from L1 a few seasons ago so knows the league (albeit not as well as Beckford). Craig Mackail-Smith from Peterborough is also a player I admire, he was instrumental in 'Boro being promoted last season from L1, and he's bagged a fair few goals this season for them in the CCC. I also like Jermaine Easter from MK Dons, he's got something about him. And what about Darius Vassell? He's rotting away in the Turkish leagues nowadays, I know he's had problems with injuries over the last few seasons but I think on his day he was one of the best strikers in the Prem. Wages could be a bit of an issue, but it probably wouldn't take megabucks to prise him away from Ankaragucu where he's playing now. I know he only signed for them in July, but surely it's worth a shot anyway? If not, what about Eddie Johnson from Fulham? Hailed as a really bright prospect when he came over from America, he's not really made an impact in the Prem but he was good when he was on loan at Cardiff last season. Want me to name some more? I realise that Beckford is a very, very good player, but I think he'd be vastly over-priced and his attitude is something we could rather do without at the club. We've just settled down as a team, and we don't need anyone coming in that will disrupt it.
.comsaint Posted 19 December, 2009 Posted 19 December, 2009 C'mon Saints. Just one more good decent chance needed...
brightspark Posted 19 December, 2009 Posted 19 December, 2009 Our best hope is that Leeds put 11 men behind the ball so that we can hoof it.
Pokerchampion Posted 19 December, 2009 Posted 19 December, 2009 not going to happen now , well played lads good effort
S-Clarke Posted 19 December, 2009 Posted 19 December, 2009 I fear we just haven't had enough penetration - at least they don't give up nowadays. there is still a chance. we haven't got the ability to bring on players like Gradel etc - which is our let down at the moment. Once we bolster the squad a bit more, we'll be right up with leeds.
benjii Posted 19 December, 2009 Posted 19 December, 2009 Hey, Kris! Better get ready for the results wrap-up.

.comsaint Posted 19 December, 2009 Posted 19 December, 2009 Give the ball to sooper Rickie Lambert and he will score or put it inches wide!!!
brightspark Posted 19 December, 2009 Posted 19 December, 2009 Lambert you muppet arrgghh Bring in Beckford!!!!!
dubai_phil Posted 19 December, 2009 Posted 19 December, 2009 OK that's Leeds & Stockport.... Eric - YOU'RE banned
S-Clarke Posted 19 December, 2009 Posted 19 December, 2009 oh well, great effort lads. they're still a much better side than us, but we're not far off - we'll get better. glad results have gone our way too, so we haven't lost our sights on the playoff spots. nothing to really moan about imo
St Landrew Posted 19 December, 2009 Author Posted 19 December, 2009 1-0. Oh well. Had to happen, and frankly I'm not that disappointed. We've done really well these last few months, and it was bound to happen at some point. Oh-oh, more added on time. Last ditched attempt. FT.
Tractor_Saint Posted 19 December, 2009 Posted 19 December, 2009 Well played Saints - came close to a point away at a very very strong side. Exeter next up without their striker so looking forward to 3 points there

martyg1950 Posted 19 December, 2009 Posted 19 December, 2009 Oh well, I'm NOT disheartend, we gave em a right scrap and they were better on the day, but not THAT much better :-) We've not been together as a team as long as them so, we're on track, onwards and upwards ! COYR
Under Weststand Posted 19 December, 2009 Posted 19 December, 2009 Brave effort today missed the chances we had, no disgrace to Lose today.
Toadhall Saint Posted 19 December, 2009 Posted 19 December, 2009 Oh well, I'm NOT disheartend, we gave em a right scrap and they were better on the day, but not THAT much better :-) We've not been together as a team as long as them so, we're on track, onwards and upwards ! COYR +1.
