Thedelldays Posted 19 March, 2011 Posted 19 March, 2011 job done...NEVER looked like shipping in a goal, poor first half, better 2d half... that will do me, who cares if it pretty or not at this stage of the season, 4th win in a row...3 points from 2nd with 3 games in hand come on the Dons tomorrow
SuperMikey Posted 19 March, 2011 Posted 19 March, 2011 Excellent win after a dodgy first-half. Just put Primal Scream's "Movin' On Up" on my iPod!
paris Posted 19 March, 2011 Posted 19 March, 2011 Great > That second spot is looking that little bit closer now ...
Cascadia Saint Posted 19 March, 2011 Posted 19 March, 2011 Nice one! Keep plugging away... 1 point behind Peterborough now.
VectisSaint Posted 19 March, 2011 Posted 19 March, 2011 A win is a win, indifferent performance against one-dimesnional carp team. Great goal from Lambo and good corner from Chambo. Never looked like conceding, would just be nice to play well. Onwards and upwards, 3 points were important to day. Now need MK to do something Monday night.
DG Posted 19 March, 2011 Posted 19 March, 2011 That'll do. Hopefully MK Dons do us a favour and Charlton's woeful form continues a for a few games more.
Glasgow_Saint Posted 19 March, 2011 Posted 19 March, 2011 Just voted this 5 stars - nice thread, thank you delldays
thefunkygibbons Posted 19 March, 2011 Posted 19 March, 2011 Looking good on Hudders but we do need POSH to start slippingup
Thedelldays Posted 19 March, 2011 Posted 19 March, 2011 adkins says... all about 3 points had to be patient as they defended deep tried to pass and move and it was not good enough first half we have to aim for 1st spot...focus on ourselves and just go out and take care of business job done

SOTONS EAST SIDE Posted 19 March, 2011 Posted 19 March, 2011 Not at our best, but were winning. And thats all that counts.
saint_jas Posted 19 March, 2011 Posted 19 March, 2011 Good win, we seem to be a 2nd half team. Come on the Dons on Monday
Saint_Jonny Posted 19 March, 2011 Posted 19 March, 2011 saints only seemed to play in top gear well for 20 minutes in the 2nd half, but it was obviously enough to see off a sorry looking Wednesday side. Keep up the good work lads! COYR!!
Mr X Posted 19 March, 2011 Posted 19 March, 2011 dire performance apart from the 15 min goal spell but its the result that counts
Lallana's Left Peg Posted 19 March, 2011 Posted 19 March, 2011 The game was probably a fairly decent reflection of most of our season. Not firing on all cylinders, fairly solid at the back, and a few moments of quality get us the win. People will moan that we aren't playing very well, and they are entitled to do that, but I am very happy with our ability to dig out results more often than not. We are right in the thick of this and whether we are playing or not, every weekend and Tuesday from now until May has something of interest going on. I was worried about Sheffield Wednesday reacting to their recent poor form tonight, but it didn't happen. I hope the same happens with Charlton on Tuesday.
Frank's cousin Posted 19 March, 2011 Posted 19 March, 2011 Belief.. confidence... thats all the lads need... once we got the first we had that spell as we took control of the game. Need to focus on our game and ignore what happens elsewhere for now. Still shed loads to happen in the next 11 games - need to keep the run going now... Beer O'clock

I was worried about Sheffield Wednesday reacting to their recent poor form tonight, but it didn't happen. I hope the same happens with Charlton on Tuesday. I was getting worried at the influence their 2 new defenders were having and an inspired performance by the No 3 keeper, but luckily we kept plugging on, as did the crowd, which was very important when Weds were gaining in confidence. we seem to be doing enough to win games without hopefully overstretching ourselves for the epic 9 games in April. You know what I'm thinking the Plymouth game being off may be a good thing as it gives us a decent break ahead of that onslaught and who knows by the time we play Plymouth it may all be done and dusted.
lethallee Posted 19 March, 2011 Posted 19 March, 2011 Great result poor performance. Hammond man of the match for me. Lallana had poor game by his standards especially first half. Tactics were wrong in first half lallana and ox both needed to go down wide areas more.

Window Cleaner Posted 19 March, 2011 Posted 19 March, 2011 A 2-0 home win, no bookings,no injuries, who could ask for more. For the next 11 games winning is all that counts.
Frank's cousin Posted 19 March, 2011 Posted 19 March, 2011 Bit late setting your alarm .... mine went off 8 hours ago Mrs had me on DIY duty til 5.19.59s... now on catch up! ;-)
saints-cris Posted 19 March, 2011 Posted 19 March, 2011 After a pretty poor first half, we responded well and did what we needed to. Dont think Kelv had a save to make. Whilst we didnt play at our full best, they didnt look like scoring at all besides sending the big guys up for set pieces, which we ended up beating them by with Fonte's goal anyway. We really are good from set pieces. One 20 min spell was enough to see this one through. Sky curse broken, 4 wins on the bounce. Can play better, but by no means complaining as 3 points is all we can ask for. Got to go and get a win against a hopelessly off form Charlton next.
SuperSAINT Posted 19 March, 2011 Posted 19 March, 2011 Not pretty, but got the job done. Would much rather do that, than to play really well and fail to win. 1st half was obviously poor, but with some increase in tempo, we got a lot better in the 2nd half. Great header from Jose, and fantastic technique from Rickie for the goals. We've just nailed Wednesday, now bring on tuesday

stockportsaint Posted 19 March, 2011 Posted 19 March, 2011 aap3 logo on the sponsor board behind Nigel when he did his post-match interview. Sponsorship effective as of now? Well spotted - I just rewound SSN to confirm - it was there behind Gary "cheery" Megson too, so it's been put on both interview boards.
alpine_saint Posted 19 March, 2011 Posted 19 March, 2011 Very, very good result in a banana skin match. Very please, very relieved. Starting to feel more confident about us pulling this off. Fingers crossed for Franchise FC on Monday night..
K,Billy's supersound Posted 19 March, 2011 Posted 19 March, 2011 just back, good solid professional job. defence looked good and communication with Davis was good when needed, never felt Wednesday would score. once we went 2-0 did well to just control and see out the game too no thanks to the ref who i felt gave a lot of soft free kicks to Wednesday in second half. MOM is a hard one thought Fonte and Harding both did very well today but think I’ll give it to Lambert hardly gave the ball away and brought other into play second half against to big physical centre backs still another 3pts same again on Tuesday lads COYRS
Glasgow_Saint Posted 19 March, 2011 Posted 19 March, 2011 Funny how we keep winning hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha yeah hillarious
yorkie Posted 19 March, 2011 Posted 19 March, 2011 Good win - perhaps we should look no further than the next game at Charlton. We can't do anything about Donkey's or Posh on Monday night - but come Tuesday we should go out all guns blazing - Charlton are in a woeful run of form... Let's hope we can gather 6-points from Charlton before they turn it around! Getting to the business end of the season - let's close the deal and win promotion!
Andy Durman Posted 19 March, 2011 Posted 19 March, 2011 At this stage of the season its all about points rather than performance. Saints were very professional and Fonte lead by example. The beautiful game will arrive once Schneiderlin returns. Thought we saw a few glimses of why NA signed Forte. Great substitutions and really enjoyable
bjk Posted 19 March, 2011 Posted 19 March, 2011 Not the greatest of games but who cares,we won thats all that matters and at last we've won on Sky.
Leslie Charteris Posted 19 March, 2011 Posted 19 March, 2011 A workmanlike performance, two quality goals, none conceded, Bompey lost, Udders drew - a good day! More of the same Tuesday please.
dune Posted 19 March, 2011 Posted 19 March, 2011 Some people are saying that we didn't play well but that's nonsense - it may not have been pretty but we were composed and solid throughout and we made ourselves extremely difficult to play against.
aintforever Posted 19 March, 2011 Posted 19 March, 2011 Solid performance, result never in doubt after we made the breakthrough. great stuff.
EastleighSoulBoy Posted 19 March, 2011 Posted 19 March, 2011 Funny how we keep winning Lol, crying in my beer as I type! Thought the ref was very poor and, seemingly, a tad biased? Nice to hear, and sing, a slow OWTS going all round the ground. Is Glasgow Saint alright?
acersaint Posted 19 March, 2011 Posted 19 March, 2011 My two pennyworth. Don't get much chance to see Saints live. Megson had a good game plan but didn't have the skilled players to carry it out. We plugged away and after 20 mins got back into game. Kelvin looked solid and defence cleared up well. Half time talk worked and apart from first 5 mins we dominated. Our class showed through. Lambert was very impressive my MOM. Adam is definately a cut above. Oxo showed his immaturity but also some flashes of brilliance, he so made the right decision by staying once we scored it was game over. Let's not forget that's 4 wins in a row at a very important part of the season. A win on Tues is not just going to take the pressure off us but will also put pressure on our rivals. Feels really good to be a Saint tonight!!!
