So a team battling to get into the play off positions didn't flip over onto their all fours for us and you are sliting your wrists? Get a grip you poof.

maysie Posted 12 April, 2011 Share Posted 12 April, 2011 After losing to a team with 3,800 attendance at this stage of the season I think its certainly partially justified. You're annoying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andysstuff Posted 12 April, 2011 Share Posted 12 April, 2011 Can't say I'm surprised - against an in-form team looking at a play-off place. We've had worse results this season. Still all to play for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubai_phil Posted 12 April, 2011 Share Posted 12 April, 2011 If we had salvaged a draw then people would be a lot happier, but all it would've meant is +1 point and +2 on the GD. If we weren't going to win then a loss isn't much worse than a draw. It obviously all comes down to our reaction on Saturday, but there is no reason we can't still do this. We are 2nd with a game in hand, that's a fact. COYS! Actually feel more confident now, we've got the annoying loss out of our system and that will have wiped away any complacency in the players & management. The injuries have dictated the formation choice tonight, unfortunately it was a FAIL, but what I like about NA is he does learn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corsacar saint Posted 12 April, 2011 Share Posted 12 April, 2011 Shambolic first half tactics,Cocoa throws one in,and we could not hit a barn door in the second half. Not surprised,as this is our beloved Saints all over. It will be irony of all ironies if one of the pre season relegation favourites,stop us getting automatic promotion by getting the double over us. I hope we take this result out on Bristol Rovers on saturday.[For the record I do think in general since taking over NA has done a pretty good job,but he has to ditch the diamond,and play 4-4-2,which play to our strenghts.

Barry the Badger Posted 12 April, 2011 Share Posted 12 April, 2011 I love it. Lose playing anything other than a standard 4-4-2 and it has to be the formation, even if that is the formation that we played whilst winning the previous game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotty Posted 12 April, 2011 Share Posted 12 April, 2011 tbh, on reflection I'd probably have taken 3 points out of two tough away games. Just slightly deflating that we couldnt drag a point out of this one but hey ho, bring on saturday, fingers crossed that Adams fit for it, Nige sounded pretty confident about that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dalek2003 Posted 12 April, 2011 Share Posted 12 April, 2011 The main thing is that we are still on target for the play offs.

I stand by my prediction, we will get into the play offs, second is a bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egreog Posted 12 April, 2011 Share Posted 12 April, 2011 4-0 defeat over 2 legs to Rochdale........quite embarrassing not to be able to score a goal in 2 games against them....but Oh so typical of Saints to do things the hard way!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hypochondriac Posted 12 April, 2011 Share Posted 12 April, 2011 A very disappointing result but we earnt a loss after our recent good form so I'm not totally depressed. I think tonight showed why people have reservations about Adkins, a lot of teams play this way against us and we have no answer. Brighton just haven't really had results like this and that is why they are promoted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint_Ash Posted 12 April, 2011 Share Posted 12 April, 2011 Don't feel too bothered about it, most people were predicting two draws from the last two games and we did better than that. Still second with a game in hand. Huddersfield will drop loads more points yet. Win on Saturday and we stay 2nd. Really not worried at all.

Tractor_Saint Posted 12 April, 2011 Share Posted 12 April, 2011 Hey, we could have Cotterill summing up as usual like tonight: Goal 1: Free kick that wasn't a free kick.

Roger Posted 12 April, 2011 Share Posted 12 April, 2011 Right ive thought bout it and its not that bad, however after going to chralton and orient I wasnt very impressed with the performances and thought wed carry it on. I think at home we will win every game but away I worry after those performances. Think jaidi was nakered tonight. Centre mid isnt good tho.

saint lard Posted 12 April, 2011 Share Posted 12 April, 2011 (edited) You must be loving tonight, been shying away for a little while until you get to say your little bit !! Yeah i just love it when Saints lose. Look at the bigger picture for gods sake. And i assure you i have not been 'shying away'. I give credit when it's due and critisim when that applies also. And tonight,the latter is applicable. Make someone else your scapegoat,others have been critical also,and in a more verciferorus manner. Views on games can be too polarised at times,perhaps you should concede that there can be a middle ground to be found.

ericb Posted 12 April, 2011 Share Posted 12 April, 2011 To be fair to lard he's made some pretty spot on comments about our performances at home which have been under par (but we've won). I really don't see what's achieved by scapegoating or attacking different points of view unless they damage the team - like so many of the needless attacks on players like puncheon and forte during the game. Now is the time to accept others differences, ignore trolling from the likes of Dalek (who's consistently hilarious with it), and be as one till the end of the season in my opinion.
