So adding three strangers, plus one player who has been out long term, doesn't unsettle a team at all?

 

Sometimes it has the opposite effect of course

Seems to me AP is playing for the draw, despite his big words before the match about a win being important.

 

We might just nick this 1-0 with the luck we've had so far today. :D

Yes no doubt, but did we need to start with 3 new defenders? We have two experienced ones warming the bench.

i know it's not easy to judge a performance miles away - but it sounds like our problem today has been the midfield, they have not controlled the game or supplied anything for lambert or Lallana - that's why we've just been on the backfoot.

Have these 3 defenders conceded yet? It is Saints as an attacking force that has been lacking.

Its a risk, but a calculated one, AP will have seen them work together, and have been satisfied that the gamble was worthwhile. Can't see bringing in Holmes was a risk though. Thats why we have good players in the squad. If he'd played Pulis then that would have been a risk, actually that would have been suicide come to think of it. Some changes were enforced anyway, Jaidi is injured, Trotman is gone, so what was he supposed to do?

My thoughts exactly.

 

PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE please, and NOW!

 

EDIT: He heard. Antonio, work us up some of that non-League magic.

Sums up your indeep knowledge of football tbh. So, the fact we have 3 new defenders playing, who incidently are keeping a clean sheet, something we have not done away from home all season, is the reason why we are defending so much! I would have thought it was the fault of the midfield or strikers, but hey, guess you know best.

That's a different discussion. I posted in response to Alpine who said we've found our level because we're sturggling against good teams (or something similar).

Merrington's an idiot.

 

A few moments ago he said that he didnt understand why Antonio had been pushed up front when we had Connolly and Waigo on the bench.

 

Then when Antonio breaks through he says this was exactly what he meant and what he was asking for.

 

Moron.

Plus Seaborn is not available for the next 2 games and Perry probably wouldn't manage 3 of them in a week.
