mcjwills Posted 6 March, 2010 Posted 6 March, 2010 You'd think we were playing at Fratton Park. No chance Too many fans
Saint_clark Posted 6 March, 2010 Posted 6 March, 2010 Saints Corner, great play from Lallana, COME ON.
Doctoroncall Posted 6 March, 2010 Posted 6 March, 2010 Millwall 2 down. Hudderfield down to 10 men... We still have to win though.
Saint_clark Posted 6 March, 2010 Posted 6 March, 2010 Every single match, about 4-5 times, after Merrington says something the commentator says "that the voice of Dave Merrington, former Saints manager". Do we really need to be told?
Saint_clark Posted 6 March, 2010 Posted 6 March, 2010 Well then, back to square one for the second half.
dune Posted 6 March, 2010 Posted 6 March, 2010 Saints need to raise their work rate in the second half.
alpine_saint Posted 6 March, 2010 Posted 6 March, 2010 Saints need to raise their work rate in the second half. Aye. Seems the players thought they only needed to turn up. Always said a team and management's quality is shown by how they respond to good victories as much as bad defeats. AP needs to be setting a few sights straight over HT.
CWD Posted 6 March, 2010 Posted 6 March, 2010 We are far fitter than Tranmere, we'll eventually break them down. Bit like the stockport game at SMS
Under Weststand Posted 6 March, 2010 Posted 6 March, 2010 Well chances missed & need to go up a gear 2nd half, with the Millwall & Huddersfield scores, a real chance to close the gap a little. We have to make the most of it today. COYR
martyg1950 Posted 6 March, 2010 Posted 6 March, 2010 Need to get Lambert into the game more. Sounds like Tranmere are succeeding in frustrating his efforts, some change to the game plan needed for the second half.
Barry the Badger Posted 6 March, 2010 Posted 6 March, 2010 Aye. Seems the players thought they only needed to turn up. Always said a team and management's quality is shown by how they respond to good victories as much as bad defeats. AP needs to be setting a few sights straight over HT. Well we responded to the last good victory with a 5-0 win, so seems they're pretty much top quality.
SaintBobby Posted 6 March, 2010 Posted 6 March, 2010 Aye. Seems the players thought they only needed to turn up. Always said a team and management's quality is shown by how they respond to good victories as much as bad defeats. AP needs to be setting a few sights straight over HT. sounds like we've been on top tbf. At least until the last few mins of the half. I expect us to win from here. Agree with whoever said that Lambert doesn't seem involved enough.
alpine_saint Posted 6 March, 2010 Posted 6 March, 2010 Well we responded to the last good victory with a 5-0 win, so seems they're pretty much top quality. What conceding to a set-piece within 4mins ?
S-Clarke Posted 6 March, 2010 Posted 6 March, 2010 What conceding to a set-piece within 4mins ? oh will you please stfu
martyg1950 Posted 6 March, 2010 Posted 6 March, 2010 What conceding to a set-piece within 4mins ? ISTR we went 1 down against Walsall pretty sharpish, didn't stop us winning 5-1 tho
Saint_clark Posted 6 March, 2010 Posted 6 March, 2010 What conceding to a set-piece within 4mins ? Yeah, unheard of at the top level. We really need to stamp that out. And those late goals that Tim has been talking about. And while we're at it, we should try and stop those goals we concede in the middle of the game.
alpine_saint Posted 6 March, 2010 Posted 6 March, 2010 Sounds like Tranmere are succeeding in frustrating his efforts, some change to the game plan needed for the second half. So, they've done their homework and have a game plan. We need to change things and break it down. Reckon Papa should come on,
Saint_clark Posted 6 March, 2010 Posted 6 March, 2010 So, they've done their homework and have a game plan. We need to change things and break it down. Reckon Papa should come on, No. No. We should NOT take off our top scorer, even if they have marked him pretty well so far. Just, no.
alpine_saint Posted 6 March, 2010 Posted 6 March, 2010 Yeah, unheard of at the top level. We really need to stamp that out. And those late goals that Tim has been talking about. And while we're at it, we should try and stop those goals we concede in the middle of the game. We should conceding soft goals period. You disagree ?
Barry the Badger Posted 6 March, 2010 Posted 6 March, 2010 What conceding to a set-piece within 4mins ? Sorry let me explain it for you. You said that a team and managements quality is how well they respond to a big win... I was pointing out that the last time we had a chance to respond to a big win (5-1 Walsall) we did so with another big win (5-0 Huddersfield). Therefore you have shown our team and management to clearly be of the highest quality.
.comsaint Posted 6 March, 2010 Posted 6 March, 2010 Well Pards looks very serious taking his place in the dug-out prior to kick-off!
Saint_clark Posted 6 March, 2010 Posted 6 March, 2010 We should conceding soft goals period. You disagree ? It would be nice, but I am not retarded enough to think that any team will ever be able to stop conceding soft goals.
Doctoroncall Posted 6 March, 2010 Posted 6 March, 2010 What conceding to a set-piece within 4mins ? No, that the 5-0 was gained after the 5-1 win.
buctootim Posted 6 March, 2010 Posted 6 March, 2010 So, they've done their homework and have a game plan. We need to change things and break it down. Reckon Papa should come on, Take off one of our two most prolific scorers and bring the barn door expert on. Good plan.
alpine_saint Posted 6 March, 2010 Posted 6 March, 2010 Sorry let me explain it for you. You said that a team and managements quality is how well they respond to a big win... I was pointing out that the last time we had a chance to respond to a big win (5-1 Walsall) we did so with another big win (5-0 Huddersfield). Therefore you have shown our team and management to clearly be of the highest quality. And today we conceded a soft goal in 4 mins, therefore we didnt respond to the last good win in the same manner. Your point is completely lost on me.
Saint_clark Posted 6 March, 2010 Posted 6 March, 2010 And today we conceded a soft goal in 4 mins, therefore we didnt respond to the last good win in the same manner. Your point is completely lost on me. So you're saying that any team that doesn't win a game, then win the next one, and the next one, and then win every game for the rest of eternity, is NOT quality?
S-Clarke Posted 6 March, 2010 Posted 6 March, 2010 alpine, you strike me as the sort of person who would criticise us conceding a consolation goal in the champions league final.
alpine_saint Posted 6 March, 2010 Posted 6 March, 2010 It would be nice, but I am not retarded enough to think that any team will ever be able to stop conceding soft goals. Therein lies SFCs problem. Succesful teams do eliminate or massive reduce the conceding of soft goals. Your expectations are at fault.
dune Posted 6 March, 2010 Posted 6 March, 2010 YES YES YES Grimsby 1-0 C'mon Saints i just need you for my accy.
Saint_clark Posted 6 March, 2010 Posted 6 March, 2010 Therein lies SFCs problem. Succesful teams do eliminate or massive reduce the conceding of soft goals. Your expectations are at fault. We HAVE massively reduced the number of soft goals we concede, you stubborn fool. It's like debating a point with a f*cking orangutan sometimes.
alpine_saint Posted 6 March, 2010 Posted 6 March, 2010 So you're saying that any team that doesn't win a game, then win the next one, and the next one, and then win every game for the rest of eternity, is NOT quality? This is clearly just a game for you. You know damned well what has happened today; we've scored 10 goals in 2 games, think we're the bees knees, and have started the game half-asleep thinking we only needed to turn up. I still think we will win, but QUALITY teams dont make schoolboy mistakes.
S-Clarke Posted 6 March, 2010 Posted 6 March, 2010 Therein lies SFCs problem. Succesful teams do eliminate or massive reduce the conceding of soft goals. Your expectations are at fault. which we have done, with the signing of fonte - the stats do not lie. oh noes, we conceded a sloppy goal today - but we have responded fantastically to it. As saint_clark has said - find me a team in world football that never concedes a sloppy goal?
alpine_saint Posted 6 March, 2010 Posted 6 March, 2010 We HAVE massively reduced the number of soft goals we concede, you stubborn fool. It's like debating a point with a f*cking orangutan sometimes. Then dont bother.
ericofarabia Posted 6 March, 2010 Posted 6 March, 2010 LOL .... Saints Player decided to self destruct when Avram Grants interview came on .... okay I didn't want to hear it BUT will they reconnect us so that we can listen to our exclusive coverage .... FIRKIN W@NKERS
CanadaSaint Posted 6 March, 2010 Posted 6 March, 2010 We need to pull ourselves out of this downward spiral. I'm not talking about the team but this forum. Heads up, girls. It's 1-1 and main rivals are losing.
martyg1950 Posted 6 March, 2010 Posted 6 March, 2010 So, they've done their homework and have a game plan. We need to change things and break it down. Reckon Papa should come on, Not unless he's completely shut out, it's quite possible to make 'workflow' changes to negate that. If they work, great, if not then subs are an option, if we get a couple ahead early on he'll do that anyway. Their gameplan, will only work for the full 90 if they have the skill and fitness to pull it off, we did against Norwich, Walsall and Huddersfield, stop them playing 'ther' game, impose ours, rinse and repeat. Seriously don't think Tranmere have the ability to do that. 1-3
buctootim Posted 6 March, 2010 Posted 6 March, 2010 We need to pull ourselves out of this downward spiral. I'm not talking about the team but this forum. Heads up, girls. It's 1-1 and main rivals are losing. Alpine is on-line. The fun of following Saints on here nearly always spirals down when he is posting.
dune Posted 6 March, 2010 Posted 6 March, 2010 We need to pull ourselves out of this downward spiral. I'm not talking about the team but this forum. Heads up, girls. It's 1-1 and main rivals are losing. We? It's only victor meldrew moaning as usual.
Barry the Badger Posted 6 March, 2010 Posted 6 March, 2010 And today we conceded a soft goal in 4 mins, therefore we didnt respond to the last good win in the same manner. Your point is completely lost on me. I thought it might be. If you say that "a teams quality is shown by how they respond to a big win", you have to be prepared to look at more than one example of how they have responded to big wins. I was giving you another example to try and cheer you up, an example that was based on a game that has ACTUALLY FINISHED!
dune Posted 6 March, 2010 Posted 6 March, 2010 We HAVE massively reduced the number of soft goals we concede, you stubborn fool. It's like debating a point with a f*cking orangutan sometimes. i lol'd.
alpine_saint Posted 6 March, 2010 Posted 6 March, 2010 I am a happy-clappy who cannot tolerate any one being beastly to my beloved Saints - I might have a nervous breakdown. Yes.
