Well nobody else did it so here is the match thread

[alpine_saint]

Take the word Plymouth out, and put any other side there and you can use that saying every time we lose.

 

You can't win them all.

 

No but you have to be pretty close to doing so to earn auto promotion.

[Smirking_Saint]

why are you such a troll...infact how are you not just banned from this place..?

 

A great deal of bum licking

[Jonnyboy]

Slow and devoided of ideas is my summary of this team.

 

devoided?

[K,Billy's supersound]

better get used to team's comming to our place and playing like how plymouth have done today. we have been found wanting and lacking the ability to break through them. very disapointing performences from the saints players today and goes to show we the favourites tag means nothing.

[dubai_phil]

Thank fook we've got the first game out the way.

 

Damned angry

 

I knew this would happen but still stupidly optimistically put us down for a draw.

 

Have fun over there, hope Samaritans ain't too busy

 

Pnly 3 mins to go before back to the cricket

[Smirking_Saint]

hoooooof

[alpine_saint]

Thats the first save their keeper has had to make.

 

 

That is poor.

[Under Weststand]

its all a bit aimless & careless now been far to easy this half for Plymouth 3-mins stoppage time

[saint_jas]

Usual **** start to the season.

Agreed.

[Smirking_Saint]

I would have stuck Butterfield up to hold it up

[dune]

You can't talk. I'm watching the game and we've been rubbish end of.

[Smirking_Saint]

Plymouth have defended f*cking well TBF

[Under Weststand]

F**K what a great tackle looked like Barnard was in

[Thedelldays]

Plymouth have defended f*cking well TBF

 

this is take 1 of 23.....this is how most teams will come...

[Glasgow_Saint]

useless.....can only get better

[Jonnyboy]

Coyr!

[dune]

last chance, come on lallana

[Under Weststand]

Corner last chance Kelvin up for it cleared thats probably all up there it is S**te

[alpine_saint]

So teams will come and defend well. Not rocket science.

 

How will we react to teams who wont just roll over.

 

This team is not as good as some of you think, for whatever reason.

[Smirking_Saint]

Hopefully it will speed up the purchase of another striker

[gjphilsaint]

remember the word to desrcibe the season... typical!!

[Dog]

Get the youth warmed up!

[farawaysaint]

And for my last post of the day... Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[qwertySFC]

Just not good enough ...that simple

[Smirking_Saint]

This team is not as good as some of you think, for whatever reason.

 

Or its not as bad as you think

 

Somewhere in the middle is the teams actual ability.

 

We played well, we dominated, another day we would have had 4 or 5.

 

But we need another striker with height, 3 strikers on the books is not good enough

[dune]

This team is not as good as some of you think.

 

This.

 

Take out Lallana and Lambert and we're bog standard.

[jasoneuelllfanclub]

rubbish. cant handle pressure. second haf was woeful.

[alpine_saint]

Hopefully it will speed up the purchase of another striker

 

AP definitely needs to drop this slowly-slowly catcheee monkey b*ll*cks about our transfer dealings.

[Kingsbridge Saint]

Just not good enough. Bunch of useless bottlers. What the **** has Pardew done over the summer?

[saint_stevo]

Saints in couldn't break down the opposition shocker.....

Sorry mate, heard that far too many times about Saints.

[FMPR]

hahaahahhahahahahahaaha

[Under Weststand]

Well we have to find a way to beat teams like this once again we are caught out by a stupid mistake from our own making. 2nd half performance was poor no real response to the goal.

We really missed Ricky a lot more than I thought we would. Why oh why can we never ever win an opening day game.

[Saint Without a Halo]

very poor and the lack of a different plan is so predictable! Why are we so bad at starting seasons!

[Saint Without a Halo]

Our performances on TV and on the first day are always crap!

[brightspark]

FFS what the absolute f**king hell are we playing at. So typical.

 

The curses have won it for Plymouth today and nothing else. We don't win on the opening day. We don't win when new managers coach the opposition. We very rarely win on Sky. We very rarely beat Plymouth. We had no Lambert. Ultimately, the players had this all in their heads and it conspired into an inevitable defeat. We will still win this league - Plymouth were not very good today. But still feeling SICK after that one. So typical.

 

Pompey to beat Coventry to make it the most typically unbelievable 4 days in the modern history of the South Coast footballing scene.

[Smirking_Saint]

Sorry mate, heard that far too many times about Saints.

 

If we play like that all season we will be promoted

[ART]

We just couldn't score. What one amazing surprise after the bucketful of goals that we scored in our pre season warmup games. Doesn't take a psychic to see that something is amiss where goals are concerned and it's not just Ricky's absence.

[SuperMikey]

F*cking sh!t second half performance, why does Pardew never use his subs!? Plymouth came into the game well after they scored, and we just faded. Even Molyneux looked good compared to us in the second half.

Not sure why Harding was taken off either, he was easily our best player today. Looked completely toothless in front of goal without Lambert. Going to have to improve if we want to win the league boys...

[brightspark]

hahaahahhahahahahahaaha

 

you are the luckiest and most underserving supporter alive.

[SaintBobby]

That was a totally dreadful second half performance. I think Cortese will lose patience with Pardew before long. Not saying he should, but he will.

 

An utterly embarrassing 2nd half effort against a truly uninspired and limp Argyle team.

[SOTONS EAST SIDE]

We are seriously lacking in midfield(Lallana excluded) and up front. Only one big target man up front(out injured), we lacked any ideas on how to break them down till Lallana came on. OVERALL 5.5/10 .

[Saint Without a Halo]

just remember Norwich lost 6-2 at home in their first match! Howeverthe absence of some midfield creativity was so so so clear! we just couldn't break them down!

Harding was sh*te in the second half and at fault for the goal

I take it you are being ironic here.

errr.... cus he was at fault for their goal then looked a nervous wreck after that.

[beardy]

Or 1-7 if you remember correctly....but your point still stands.

[alpine_saint]

So,

 

...pre-season results dont matter

 

... result from first game of season doesnt matter too

 

Can someone please enlighten me as to when winning is important if you seek promotion ?

[K,Billy's supersound]

can i just say imo jaidi isnt as good anymore as alot of people think and i think his postion in the team is not always a 100%. poor decsion making or lack of from all today and a very poor display. back i on sunday i think guy's there's work to be done.
