Kingsbridge Saint Posted 13 February, 2011 Posted 13 February, 2011 Need to raise our game considerably if we are going to get anything at Rochdale. Got out of jail today, and just as well, otherwise Brighton would have been over the hill and out of sight. Nigels league title aspirations are hanging over the end of a cliff on a very thin thread.
Saint_clark Posted 13 February, 2011 Posted 13 February, 2011 Though ball from Cambo which was slightly overweighted.. So Forte threw himself to the ground? :\
sammysaint Posted 13 February, 2011 Posted 13 February, 2011 hammond and fonte played very well and lambos goal was a good bit of play from chambo other then that it was a poor game but 1-0 is 3 points. disgrace that some fans cheered that nguessein lad on loan no need, he played poor but nigel gave him a long run out to see if he could turn it around he did show some good play but was most of the time wasting chances dont think hes played much this season i rekon just lack of match practise, he will be on the bench again now anyways hes cover for lallana and chambo.
supersonic Posted 13 February, 2011 Posted 13 February, 2011 Got the 3 points which is all that mattered. Never got out of second gear and they were shockingly bad. Carlisle are another **** team I can safely say I'll never be watching at SMS again unless in a cup tie.
Ooooo Mariaaan Posted 13 February, 2011 Posted 13 February, 2011 So Forte threw himself to the ground? :\ He didn't go down at all, was just gutted as the pass so nearly was perfect which would have put him through.
thefunkygibbons Posted 13 February, 2011 Posted 13 February, 2011 Thankful for the points, but disappointed with our play for most of the game, Delighted that Adam was back, and I was hopeful that the second half would continue as it started, but after ten miny=utes we went back to the huff ball we had been playing in the first half However, give Adam half a yard more pace from a few matches and the combination of Alex, Adam and Rickie will dominate the rest of this season
carljack Posted 13 February, 2011 Posted 13 February, 2011 Adam Lallana and Schneiderlein Tore Huddersfield a new A@@ehole at St Marys! we miss their creativity Bigtime.These two players plus Chambo and the drier quicker Springtime Pitches (hopefully) will see us return to form.
saint lard Posted 13 February, 2011 Posted 13 February, 2011 3 points is 3 points when all is said and done. But the bigger picture is the performances of late are well below expectations. Our dip into the january transfer window with the aquisitions of N'guessan and Forte have not enhanced the playing squad one iota thus far. We are still way below par and this needs to be addressed as the run in approaches. If not we will be lucky to crawl over the line in any position of respectability. Everyone needs to up their game,including Adkins. Let's hope he is capable.
Saint_clark Posted 13 February, 2011 Posted 13 February, 2011 He didn't go down at all, was just gutted as the pass so nearly was perfect which would have put him through. I'm amazed he managed to keep his balance looking at that picture.
Turkish Posted 13 February, 2011 Posted 13 February, 2011 Not impressed with Forte and N'Guessen as signings in January should be to strengthen the team and I can't see that either of these has done that. Overall, if the team can't get a goal in 45 minutes against ten men, its hard to think they are good enough for automatic promotion. But these are the cover players everyone was claiming we needed. I go back to my argument during January, what sort of player were you expecting to come to a league one club as a squad player? BTW, lets not forget it was N'Guessens home debut and Forte played 10 minutes at P'boro and 10 minutes today, hardly time to right them off.
Toadhall Saint Posted 13 February, 2011 Posted 13 February, 2011 3 points, not the greatest of displays but a winning one which will do for me.
Saint Billy Posted 13 February, 2011 Posted 13 February, 2011 but these are the cover players everyone was claiming we needed. I go back to my argument during january, what sort of player were you expecting to come to a league one club as a squad player? Btw, lets not forget it was n'guessens home debut and forte played 10 minutes at p'boro and 10 minutes today, hardly time to right them off. cms
Thedelldays Posted 13 February, 2011 Posted 13 February, 2011 right, so now our mongtard fans are moaning when we win..? and people say prem fans are glory demanding money spending toss pots....
Thedelldays Posted 13 February, 2011 Posted 13 February, 2011 Chaplow has become a real liability in the defensive sense of his role. He cannot tackle cleanly.I'm really surprised that he didn't get a red for his tackle on Fabio, last week's yellow at Posh was a carbon copy and I guess today's effort wasn't much better. He needs to play just the forward part of his role.Hammond isn't good enough in ball recovery for him to do just that though. yet despite what you say about hammond, those from the game are raving about his performance in err, defensive midfield role...... odd
Thedelldays Posted 13 February, 2011 Posted 13 February, 2011 Not impressed with Forte and N'Guessen as signings in January should be to strengthen the team and I can't see that either of these has done that. Overall, if the team can't get a goal in 45 minutes against ten men, its hard to think they are good enough for automatic promotion. that is right, after a handful of mins on the pitch, we can now say both forte and n'guessen are shyt and that even though we won (yet again) we are also shyt and have no chance of going up. that's the spirit
madruss Posted 13 February, 2011 Posted 13 February, 2011 Not impressed with Forte and N'Guessen as signings in January should be to strengthen the team and I can't see that either of these has done that. Overall, if the team can't get a goal in 45 minutes against ten men, its hard to think they are good enough for automatic promotion. Right.... I must have missed that particular column in the league table. You know, the one that gives you points for goals scored against 10 men in a 45 minute period? We scored 6 goals against a team with 11 men the other week and have regularly scored 4 against other teams and guess what? Every one of those wins has had the same outcome... THREE F**KING POINTS That's what gets teams promoted, it's not artistic F**king merit
Turkish Posted 13 February, 2011 Posted 13 February, 2011 yet despite what you say about hammond, those from the game are raving about his performance in err, defensive midfield role...... odd Hamond was MOM yesterday in that role. Chaplow has been our best midfielder over since he has been here. Strange post from WC.
Charlie Wayman Posted 13 February, 2011 Posted 13 February, 2011 Yet another nothing game and poor entertainment for we cash strapped fans. It's OK to say one to forget, three points are three points but there is something deeper going on here that cold become a malaise. I was dismayed when Adkins started bellowing at his players - how does that help Nigel when they are having a really bad day and all you've ever taught 'em is to play with smiles on their faces? They're no fools, they know they should have done a lot, lot better but it's YOUR job to lift them not throw sh*t at them, that's our job! Was this the first sign that he is losing the dressing room? I hope not but the only players that he has brought in are N'Guessan and Forte both of whom seem to be totally out of their depth in our squad. If that is indeed the case it won't take long for morale to sink amongst those on the bench who might start to suspect favouritism. On the other hand Adkins has his reputation on the line if these two turn out to be turkeys - at least they're only on loan - so he's got to give them a run out but why not in the reserves for a few weeks until they earn a first team slot rather than in the white heat of a promo battle? As things stand it is still Alan Pardew's team that will get us out of this league but not if Adkins starts to demoralise and dismantle it through his own narrow interests. Why in heavens name weren't Dixon and Richardson used once it became clear that Danny Butterfield was off colour and N'Guessan was clueless? If this is the pattern from now on it's going to be a tough call. Technically, Charlton are above us and Huddersfield and Bournemouth don't appear to be throwing in the towel anytime soon, so we seem to be consigned to the play-offs at best unless we can find some form soon. So much now depends on keeping Lallana and Schneiderlin fit for 18 matches.

I see you cleverly forgot to add Chaplow into the list of players he's signed, because he's been a success and that would therefore make your argument silly. Still I see you're giving the new guys a long enough opportunity to prove themselves. Oh.

Forte - just dropped from Championship side where he has started 22 games this season, 2nd highest in their assist, 4 th in goals. N'Guessan - just dropped from Championship squad, out of favour recently but started 5 times this season, 19 times last - with 6 goals.

simondo Posted 13 February, 2011 Posted 13 February, 2011 not a good performance but we won so move n i say. we scored at the perfect time - just after their chap was sent off - as we did very little to break them down after that and 0-0 was the most likely outcome btw the little i saw of forte impressed me...

With norwich and Leeds vying for promotion and millwall not far behind I am not so sure there is a big skills gap between the championship and League 1 in the last couple of seasons therefore the fact they are Championship players does not mean they improve our squad. The Jury is out on whether they are an improvement or not suffice to say they have not yet had enough time to show us. Chaplow on the other hand has certainly improved us and given us a bit of needed bite too!

torsaint Posted 13 February, 2011 Posted 13 February, 2011 Interesting that Bournemouth play Huddersfield next Saturday. Any bets on a draw there? So....if we can grind out another win (against Rochdale) the league moves in our direction.
Pedro Posted 13 February, 2011 Posted 13 February, 2011 This has to be one of the diviest posts ever. Agree 100%, just because we won only 1-0 then NA has lost the dressing room, tosser.

I loved this bit "I was dismayed when Adkins started bellowing at his players - how does that help Nigel when they are having a really bad day and all you've ever taught 'em is to play with smiles on their faces" That's right, no manager should give the players a rolicking of they aren't doing their jobs properly, Alex Fergusson never has in his career has he.
ALWAYS_SFC Posted 13 February, 2011 Posted 13 February, 2011 Yet another nothing game and poor entertainment for we cash strapped fans. It's OK to say one to forget, three points are three points but there is something deeper going on here that cold become a malaise. I was dismayed when Adkins started bellowing at his players - how does that help Nigel when they are having a really bad day and all you've ever taught 'em is to play with smiles on their faces? They're no fools, they know they should have done a lot, lot better but it's YOUR job to lift them not throw sh*t at them, that's our job! Was this the first sign that he is losing the dressing room? I hope not but the only players that he has brought in are N'Guessan and Forte both of whom seem to be totally out of their depth in our squad. If that is indeed the case it won't take long for morale to sink amongst those on the bench who might start to suspect favouritism. On the other hand Adkins has his reputation on the line if these two turn out to be turkeys - at least they're only on loan - so he's got to give them a run out but why not in the reserves for a few weeks until they earn a first team slot rather than in the white heat of a promo battle? As things stand it is still Alan Pardew's team that will get us out of this league but not if Adkins starts to demoralise and dismantle it through his own narrow interests. Why in heavens name weren't Dixon and Richardson used once it became clear that Danny Butterfield was off colour and N'Guessan was clueless? If this is the pattern from now on it's going to be a tough call. Technically, Charlton are above us and Huddersfield and Bournemouth don't appear to be throwing in the towel anytime soon, so we seem to be consigned to the play-offs at best unless we can find some form soon. So much now depends on keeping Lallana and Schneiderlin fit for 18 matches. Losing the dressing room,lol I was going to say this is the first sign of you losing the plot but it isn`t is it? Most of the other moronic ramblings you post on here prove that you in fact lot the plot a long time ago. I sit in the Chapel and am witness to some utterly cluless comments from several idiots during games and i guessing you are one of those nutters..
Saint_lambden Posted 13 February, 2011 Posted 13 February, 2011 Fonte , Hammond , Chamberlain and Lambert were the stand out players really , the rest were pretty average. Need to up our game against better opposition though , a team with a better quality than Carlisle may have got something from that yesterday. Forte was bloody quick when he came on , will be good to use him as an impact player when things aren't going well or we need a 2nd goal. Suppose at least we got the 3 points , gained some ground on Huddersfield and would have been criminal not to win with Brighton and B'mouth doing so. Rochdale are doing well this season , should imagine Lallana will come in for N'Guessan but no excuses if we don't win.
diggs Posted 13 February, 2011 Posted 13 February, 2011 I still fink we should have signed cms in the window the way he gave us the run around last week and could easily make the step as well. I am not writing forte off just yet but just think we should have got a first team starter and not just add to the squad depth.

Did you not see the quote from Cortese about Chamberlains transfer speculation scuppering some deals?
diggs Posted 13 February, 2011 Posted 13 February, 2011 Yeah but I think the deal cortese is talking about was probably the austin deal
Give it to Ron Posted 13 February, 2011 Posted 13 February, 2011 Was this the first sign that he is losing the dressing room?

So wrong on many points...but the main one being that Forte isn't on loan but a 3 1/2 year deal!! http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~2281319,00.html

It's early days but I would like to see some real delivery from his two new players to reassure me he's the right man to build our Championship team... Whatever you say about Pardew, his judgement in the market has been proven very very good.

Whatever you say about Pardew, his judgement in the market has been proven very very good. Don't think it was entirely down to Pardew to be fair. Cortese said in his BBC interview last year there were a number of people involved in the recruitment of players (IE him, the manager, chief scout etc). Also why are people writing off N'Guessan and Forte already? Maybe they'll turn out to be good buys too.
