The Cat Posted 20 February, 2010 Share Posted 20 February, 2010 We were superb today. Didn't look like a red card but we were outplaying them with 11 v 11 anyway. Puncheon really is class. Pity he didn't score when one on one as his play deserved a goal. Aside from the goals, Barnard was excellent at defending from the front. The whole team were extremely solid and limited Norwich to long range shots and crosses from deep. Can only remember Davis having to make 2 real saves, one of which he tipped onto the bar being top draw. Fonte and Jaidi had Holt in their pocket and reduced him to some amusing stroppy outbursts a la St Mary's in the JPT. Amazing pies too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St_Tel49 Posted 20 February, 2010 Share Posted 20 February, 2010 I am the skates new saviour, because I've had an email from Nigeria telling me I've won a hundred million euros, all I've go to do is send a cheque for £10,000, do you think Storrie will advance me they money?

Kingsbridge Saint Posted 21 February, 2010 Share Posted 21 February, 2010 As I said on the preview thread: Play offs are gone. No pressure. All the pressure on Norwich. We are probably the better side. I think we'll win. Wins now will be good for getting some momentum together for next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew Le God Posted 21 February, 2010 Share Posted 21 February, 2010 Play offs are gone. Why? Still 88 points possible to achieve. The starting 11 that beat table topping Norwich shouldn't drop many points over the next 17 games in this league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liquidshokk Posted 21 February, 2010 Share Posted 21 February, 2010 Ah it was puncheon then. For a minute I thought it looked like Antonio but didn't remember hearing him come on that early. Very selfless setup indeed. Was great to turn my opinions of the new boys around in this game. Especially when it comes to lee 'get in the way in the box' Barnard as I had come to know him as :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suewhistle Posted 21 February, 2010 Share Posted 21 February, 2010 Just got in from my evening out. Opened a bottle of Adnams bitter, and all is well with the world. A bird was singing its heart out from a road sign, I'm off to do some cross country skiing in the morning to help my lungs, and I'm glad I'm not spending my limited resources on the JPT final as I'm saving up for the playoffs..!! I so, so want to cross Italy, Switzerland, France and Belgium in my car covered in red and white.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AussieDog Posted 21 February, 2010 Share Posted 21 February, 2010 Just how optimistic should I be???? I'm in a dilemma now. Have booked 2 weeks off work and in the process of organising flights back for the JPT (pleeeease let me get 2 tickets!!!!)...but I can only afford to come back once this year. Would rather come back for a game that really means something like the playoff final (but if we don't get there then the Cup Final really will mean something!!)

rooney Posted 21 February, 2010 Share Posted 21 February, 2010 Thanks for the reports guys. I had BBC Sports Live Text on and I could see from Stats etc that we were well on top, especially first half. The goals will do Barnard good and give him extra confidence now and I really look forward to seeing Puncheon at SMS. I watched him at Exeter on that mud heap and could see he was classy on the ball with an excellent first touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weston Saint Posted 21 February, 2010 Share Posted 21 February, 2010 One very good thing I noted yesterday, there were no loanee's in the first 11. They were all under contract with us and were considered our strongest 11. That must be unique it this division and again shows stability and intent.

Calling us tossers...what does that make them, I wonder...? Most of their fans are geriatrics in rubber ****-pants bussed in from care homes in Cromer and Dereham!

They amaze me Norwich; tosser support?! Yes, Naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarwich may have 26,000 ST holders, but they're all OAP scarfers and there was no atmosphere there yesterday at all (from their fans anyway)! We dominated them from start to finish and to dwell on what was, I'll admit, a dubious red card from where I was standing is childish beyond belief. They forget that we beat them on the way to the JPT final, and I am sure if they were on their way, they would be singing about it too. Norwich = nothing town, nothing team, nothing support and deserve to be in this league. Edited 21 February, 2010 by Thorpe-le-Saint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy_Porter Posted 21 February, 2010 Share Posted 21 February, 2010 to be honest..I hope we give the cups a completely wide berth and concentrate solely on promotion The Fa cup is still worth a go IMO since it's such a money spinner and at most is only going to be 5-6 extra games. The JPT and League cup should just be fringe players and youngsters, no point going for them next season when we've got the league as a priority.

The Cat Posted 21 February, 2010 Share Posted 21 February, 2010 to be honest..I hope we give the cups a completely wide berth and concentrate solely on promotion Don't need to. We'll have a squad with enough quality to get automatic promotion, win the JPT and have good cup runs. If we can do all that there's no point giving any game a 'wide berth'.
