jam Posted 12 April, 2011 Posted 12 April, 2011 Nope. Gonna be a great afternoon, just the thing to get the boys back on track.
John Boy Saint Posted 12 April, 2011 Posted 12 April, 2011 What a load of cobblers Rochdale are no push over. The lads just need to dust down and start again. Come on Saints
S-Clarke Posted 12 April, 2011 Posted 12 April, 2011 There is, but I expect us to respond well. All good teams do - Beware brizzle.... With Hudders away at Charlton too things could look very nice on Saturday afternoon. It's hard to know what to think of tonight's result, it's very frustrating but I don't feel it's doom and gloom. It's still very much on.

It's still very much on. I think we think we are better than we are. That under the circumstances was a shocking performance. We arent that good guys. On sat we were battered second half. The centre of midfield is complete gash. I still think we can go up but we really arent that good.

Yate Saint Posted 12 April, 2011 Posted 12 April, 2011 We are still in the driving seat. I knew we would lose tonight. Rochdale are a good side, it's miles away and it's a Tuesday night. WIFM.
beatlesaint Posted 12 April, 2011 Posted 12 April, 2011 Lets be honest, we were never going to win every game, we have won 7 out of 8, we had to lose sometime. Hopefully this will act as a wake up call and galvanise everyone to concentrate and not get complacent. It happened after Walsall beat us, I would hope for the same reaction now. Come On You Saints !
SO16_Saint Posted 12 April, 2011 Posted 12 April, 2011 We will be 3 point clear with a game in hand still come 5pm saturday. Mark my words.
saint lard Posted 12 April, 2011 Posted 12 April, 2011 Bit of a knee-jerk really. Quite possibly...but not nesessarily completely wrong. Pick ourselves up,dust ourselves down and get the points required.
S-Clarke Posted 12 April, 2011 Posted 12 April, 2011 Quite possibly...but not nesessarily completely wrong. Pick ourselves up,dust ourselves down and get the points required. Totally, as Adkins says...draw a line, and onto the next one. Win that, couple of teams do us a favour and we're laughing. If we don't win on Saturday then that is the time to start worrying.
fanimal Posted 12 April, 2011 Posted 12 April, 2011 BR have the worst defence in L1 let in 74 goals - but now in drop zone. COYS!!!! This is doing my blood pressure no good at all!
Crab Lungs Posted 12 April, 2011 Posted 12 April, 2011 2-1 win, we scrape by with the diamond again. Rovers to score in the first half and hold out until half time. Lambert to equalise just after HT, Lallana to score the decider on 77 mins. Rovers hit the post with minutes left. I'd take that.

Crab Lungs Posted 12 April, 2011 Posted 12 April, 2011 My heart wouldn't! C'mon, we're almost there... that said, in my ever increasing age my hearts even more jumpy now!
Pugwash Posted 12 April, 2011 Posted 12 April, 2011 I'd like to see Jonno get a start. We need his pace. With Harding probably out Dickson will go LB, Still room for Guly with Lallana to come off the bench.

According to Adkins on here, he's giving Harding a pelvic rubdown so he should be ok https://www.facebook.com/pages/Nigel-Adkins-Its-as-simple-as-that/159785807400820
LGTL Posted 13 April, 2011 Posted 13 April, 2011 This game is even bigger now, not just because it's vital we win, but because it will show how well we bounce back from the first defeat in a while. Beat Rovers and last night is forgotten and the optimism and confidence will be back. Lose, and I really do fear the worst.
skintsaint Posted 13 April, 2011 Posted 13 April, 2011 don't be diamond geezers and we should win comfortably. Normally after a loss this team go on a good run so same again please.
Leicestersaint Posted 13 April, 2011 Posted 13 April, 2011 Well we need to pick ourselves up and boss the game which we clearly did not against Rochdale. My concern at the moment is our midfield with so many injuries and players not quite doing it.
Window Cleaner Posted 13 April, 2011 Posted 13 April, 2011 This game is even bigger now, not just because it's vital we win, but because it will show how well we bounce back from the first defeat in a while. Beat Rovers and last night is forgotten and the optimism and confidence will be back. Lose, and I really do fear the worst. But why would we lose against Bristol Rovers? Last night's performance is just a blip due to an excessive number of injuries and probably not getting it quite right at the start.
saints-cris Posted 13 April, 2011 Posted 13 April, 2011 Score plenty and hope Hudds draw against Charlton. Up against biggest conceders in the league, surely we get goals here. Gunna try and get to it, won every game ive seen this season!
(not THE) Kevin Moore Posted 13 April, 2011 Posted 13 April, 2011 So as I understand it, we rocked up 15 mins before kick off, away, to a team on a really hot run of form, fighting tooth and nail to make the play offs, and lost 2-0 (partly due to a KD off day). I see no reason why normal service can't be resumed at home to Rovers on Sat. So here's to a (hopefully comfortable) 2-0 win. Let's not forget our frankly excellent run of form over the last few games due to a blip last night, we weren't going to go unbeaten for the rest of the season and Rochdale was always going to be a tough one.

Well said that man.
The9 Posted 13 April, 2011 Posted 13 April, 2011 Everytime we lose - a) people seem to be more gloomy about our prospects in the next game b) the team seem to put in a better performance in the next game. Why do people continue to judge things on sole games? Especially this season, we bounce back well and quickly. I have no doubt we'll win Saturday and I'm more confident of that following a loss than I would have been following a win. Complacency is out the window, margin for error is reduced, focus is increased, we will win. They're not "judging on sole games", they're aware that we have a load of injuries that limit our options, the team hasn't been performing particularly well for months despite the results, and we're just about scraping by most of the time. We've been slightly better than the opposition too many times after looking poor early on, and each time we've got into a strong position with a match in hand we've wasted that game (Walsall, Rochdale) which smacks of a certain problem with motivation. We're still in a good position, but I don't want us to have to be chasing someone else to pull out better performances, because we might just happen to find ourselves behind at the time when the 46th game finishes.
The9 Posted 13 April, 2011 Posted 13 April, 2011 I really don't understand. A loss and suddenly it's 'so many players not doing it'. Haven't we just won 7 from 8 or something? Misplaced passes ahoy in the MK Dons and Leyton Orient games, but we won so no-one's bothered. We did it against Rochdale and lost. Performances are similar, outcomes were different.
The9 Posted 13 April, 2011 Posted 13 April, 2011 Oh, and can some please put the word "Bristol" in the heading, there are two teams called "Rovers" in this division alone, and plenty of others all over the Football League and Prem ?

Which Rovers are we playing next then? Being a build up fred and all that I thought it might have been apparent. or i hav i just taken some bait...? My Rovers supporting mate is crapping himself. He said last night was the worst result for them, and i think he is right! 3-0 comfort win. 2-0 at h/t then another after 75

But hey ho, I havent paid my £5 to voice any more after this message, so Im not a real fan either

latter day saint Posted 13 April, 2011 Posted 13 April, 2011 (edited) No, it fcking winds me up. blimey, if something little like that winds you up, supporting Saints must be torture! Edited 13 April, 2011 by latter day saint
North Wilts Saint Posted 13 April, 2011 Posted 13 April, 2011 Easy win at the Memorial stadium. Lloyd James came to watch, good day out. Hope for same again. Shame the pasties at SMS are no where near as good at those at their place. (Mind you Pards got sacked agter that 4-0 win........as we saw Guly for the first time)
Kingsbridge Saint Posted 13 April, 2011 Posted 13 April, 2011 Bristol Rovers will park the bus. We have 90 minutes to get a goal, not just the second half after a first half spent strolling around. Get the job done Saints, and get it done early. WIFM.

Nexstar Posted 13 April, 2011 Posted 13 April, 2011 Have just seen Morgan shopping in town, seemed able to walk fine. I guess he's back in light training? Also saw several others from the team, including one Anthony Pulis, on his own though.
The9 Posted 13 April, 2011 Posted 13 April, 2011 blimey, if something little like that winds you up, supporting Saints must be torture! No, that stuff I can rationalise. People saying "Rovers" when there are a shedload of Roverseses, aargh.

Also saw several others from the team, including one Anthony Pulis, on his own though. I think Morgan's main problem at the moment is changing direction, typical of medial ligament injuries.Most of them are cause by skiing, especially when you're crap at it.He can run in a straight line, accelerate and slow down but changing direction rapidly probably isn't on. No idea as to where the deep vein thrombosis could have come from, too many kicks in the calf maybe.

Window Cleaner Posted 13 April, 2011 Posted 13 April, 2011 Clotting/circulation issues after surgery, possibly? Could be guff though. Not sure that he's had any surgery, don't usually for medial ligament injuries,I'm not an expert though, cruciates usually need reconstruction, medials less so.There was a piece about him again in the DNA the other day, didn't mention any surgery.
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 13 April, 2011 Posted 13 April, 2011 No, that stuff I can rationalise. People saying "Rovers" when there are a shedload of Roverseses, aargh. You can rationalise that but not the fact that we only have one more team left to play with the word 'Rovers' in their name and therefore there's no need to write the first word?
