Saints 1 V 0 Bristol Rovers,post match sighs of relief..

[Kingsbridge Saint]

Just seen the photos on the OS. Rovers put it about a bit, the barstuds. Well done Saints. Pressure off for the Brighton game a bit now - reckon we can win up there. Injuries becoming a worry though.

[Secret Site Agent]

A good grinding win against a team that seemed to have a slight edge defensively, plus the lack of luck until Guly did the biz.

 

Players are dropping like flies though. Tough but the sign of good character to continue without them though.

[up and away]

What total garbage.

 

If we win 4 of our last 5, we are 100% promoted.

 

Most likely, we will go up in 2nd with a lower return than this.

 

It's not in the bag, but is in our own hands.

 

We aren't playing very well just now, but we only need to overcome some fairly mediocre opposition to get promoted.

 

The return of David Connolly could be crucial. He was superb today, and I presume he now needs to start alongside Lambert if Barnard is out until next season.

 

That's all we have to do to get promoted. I don't really worry about the two home games we have left, but away to Brighton, Brentford and even Plymouth are concerns. I applaud games like Charlton where we have control and use minimal energy in securing the win, that's not the issue. Our two most defining moments last season came after the defeats by Bristol Rovers and Pompey at home, good enough for me to say then we will beat Norwich playing like that.

 

And just in the same way after wins like this, I have a very good idea what's facing us when we go away from home. Because if we don't change the way we approach these away games, we won't get zip out of them backed up by this form. Keep going with the same formation and players which expose these weaknesses and our chances are not that great, we have to change. My main hope is the Brighton can't get up for what they have left and Brentford have absolutely nothing to play for, but I still have nightmares how easily Brentford turned us over at St Mary's.

 

David Connolley was class today when he came on, but do you really believe we will see much of him once we start him? If that's the master plan you may want to look back over his time here. Lallana is on very shakey ground and if we get two decent 30 minutes out of him we may have done well. Just look back at our results without him should be enough of a worry alone. I am sure everyone notices the amount of work Barnard gets through, well take that away and what are you left with? If we keep playing the same away from home as we have been backed up by this sort of form, it would come as no surprise to drop points away to Brighton and Brentford, it then comes down to whether Peterborough or Huddersfield can take advantage. Adkins can do something about this, I just hope he will change for those away games.

[Saints foreva]

Not a great performance considering we were playing one of the worst sides in the league.

 

Can't think of many good performers, Dickson had a good game, as did Fonte but there were not really many more.

 

Guly was awful, but got the important goal. Still can't see why we signed him. He lost the ball a lot and seemed to be very lazy whilst on the ball.

 

How come Lallana didn't play? I suspect it's already been covered but he was fit enough to play 15 minutes against Rochdale yet didn't make the bench today?

 

Our taking of chances was poor today. Forte missed two chances which he really should have scored and Lambert missed a header which you'd usually expect him to score.

 

Connolly was a positive for me, thought he looked good when he came on, shame it won't last as he will pick up an injury.

[NickG]

And what did you think of those chances???

 

Don't want to get too lairy, but if you weren't at the match then looking at stats (or even listening in) means fook all.

 

reckon Lambert had probably easiest chance he has had this season and about 4 others would expect him to score with.

think you answered your own question!

[Windmill Arm 2]

well we've made the play off's at least! Not that i am confident of us winning that - we have had two very nervy home and one really poor away game now - loss of form at the wrong time??

 

Need some serious confidence building during the week and no more injuries!

 

Coyr's

news flash !!! We won ffs!!!!????

[um pahars]

reckon Lambert had probably easiest chance he has had this season and about 4 others would expect him to score with.

 

I presume the easiest chance was the second half header up the Chapel end that he really should have put away. It looked close, but I was quite a distance away so wouldn't be surprised if it was miles wide!!!!

 

But 4 others you would expect him to put away????? I'm all up for being positive and upbeat, but that really is stretching it somewhat.

[um pahars]

it then comes down to whether Peterborough or Huddersfield can take advantage.

 

Of course it's no more than my opinion, but I do think Huddersfield and Posh will drop at least two points in their run in. That said, I thought Charlton would be the second best chance of points being dropped for the Terriers, so who knows. I think 3 wins and a draw might only be required and that is definitely possible.

 

Like you I do have concerns over how our recent performances will translate in to wins over the next 5 games, but we have been managing to grind out results (Rochdale excepted), so there is some comfort there. The other worry is the injuries that are being picked up with Lallana being the most significant and now maybe Barnard to be added to Chamberlain, Chaplow, Spiderman etc.

 

I'd rather be in our position than having to rely on others to drop points, but there is no doubt it will be tight and we will make hard work for ourselves.

[jam]

I say that in comparison to Lallana, AOC, Forte and Barnard.

 

He's not slow, but I don't think he utilises his pace. Like today, he'd get the ball and then slow down to walking pace or stop. I can't remember during the game when he really did a surging run forwards.

 

Fair observation and definately fair comment after yesterday. I can't think of times when he's run full pout with the ball. His game certainly seems to be along the lines of 'get it, make some space and bring someone else in', rather than the Lallana / AOC, get the ball and run with it style.

 

Again, I think all this adds to the 'play Guly in the middle somewhere' argument.

[jam]

In defence of Lambert he was under close inspection from the BR defenders every time a ball went in towards him. For that chance it looked like he physically couldn't get into the right space to get the direction on it (as there was a Bristol player or two already there).

 

That said, I'm probably softer on strikers than many.

Didn't come across right, as certainly not having a go at Lambert, who despite not being as prolific this year, still shows his class in other ways. I just wasn't sure that he had 5 clear cut chances yesterday that he failed to socre from.

by his standards - header was easy, others were similar to goals he has often scored. are you not enjoying this season?

[Wade Garrett]

I was really puzzled why we switched Forte and Guly in the first half. Dickson and Forte down the left side were excellent.

 

Thought Dickson, Forte and Connolly looked good today. Less impressed with Butterfield (a real off day for him), and Hammond and Stephens didn't get hold of the game in midfield.

 

Rovers really parked the bus today, quite often they had 10 men behind the ball. Despite this we still created a number of chances, and to the players credit they didn't panic.

[um pahars]

by his standards - header was easy, others were similar to goals he has often scored. are you not enjoying this season?

 

One of the best seasons for quite a while (also enjoyed the enthusiasm and optimism of last season as well though). Winning more obviously helps, but there is also quite an upbeat feel about St Mary's as well. Quite a few goals, some good comebacks and a few decent players coming through.

 

That said, I'm not sure how that impacts on imparting an honest assessment after a relatively "poor" performance and always find it a tad weird how if you give a critical review (even if constructive or perhaps if you have high standards and want players to perform as you know they can) then you are somehow marked down as a moaner or someone not enjoying the football on offer. Rather weird IMHO.

 

And the contentious point here is whether Lambert missed 5 sitters??

 

I really struggle to work out where the other 4 have come from. Additionally, surely by suggesting he missed those 5 sitters you're as guilty as others for criticising and moaning at the players???? Are you not enjoying this season? winky thing.

[um pahars]

and to the players credit they didn't panic.

 

Definitely one of the positives for me as I never thought we got to the panicky stage and starting to lump it forward etc. As opposed to some other games I always thought we were going to sneak one at some point yesterday.

 

Adkins probably enforced this on them, so well done if he did, and fair play to some of the senior players (Fonte, Lambert etc) who looked to be trying to calm things down and get the ball flowing.

Lamber was crocked from around 55 mins. I think he was coming off but then Barnard got injured. He missed one sitter but can't remember anymore he should have scored. I though he looked better going right up front and although has great passing ability would rather him play the role he played last season. Why isn't he playing there? I find nickg a real do gooda and think um has assessed it v well. We didn't play great but won, what's the problem nick? I think getting Morgan back would help midfield. We have managed to win lots without him but IMO that is inspite of midfield being v poor mostly.

Edited 17 April, 2011 by Roger

[um pahars]

Lamber was crocked from around 55 mins.

 

Not sure when it was, but definitely in the second half when he got caught in possession (Kingsland side) and the player nipped in from behind and Lambert then kicked the player. But I didn't think it was that serious. He lipmed about gingerly for a few minutes, but then put a shift in almost straight away.

 

Think one of Lambert's problems is the name he made for himself last season when almost anything he hit or headed was going flying in!!!! He's still been very good for me this season, just think the expectations are much higher given how prolific he was last year.

[jam]

No worries, didn't think you were having a go. I'm just sat very near the Chapel goal so maybe see things that people at the other end don't (just as I rarely have a clue how well Butterfield plays in most second halves).

 

I was more following on from your post rather than arguing with it.

[S-Clarke]

Absolutely. It doesn't help when you're hindered with an injury at the start of the season too, that's prob cost him at least 10 goals.

 

Last season he was up in the charts with Drogba and Rooney, yet funnily enough they have both had low scoring seasons (compared to last) too. I think the efforts of last season for the likes of Lambo/Rooney/Drogba etc will hit back at you physically as they've all struggled fitness wise.

 

He'll still get 20 IMO which is a great return.

He definitely put a shift in but looked to me like he was hopping about a bit. I think Adkins stuck him right up front after that so he had to run around less.

 

I agree about the expectations on Lambert, I think he's put them on himself and whether that and his relative goal drought earlier in the season has taken its toll. Certainly some of the goals he's scored have appeared to mean a lot to him - and the rest of the team.

 

I can't remember the game, possibly Huddersfield over Christmas, when Lambert scored they celebrated in front of where I was sat and it definitely didn't look like the average goal celebration.

 

WHat I also noticed is that it seemed to lift the team - Morgan especially played a much better game after that.

 

As you and others have mentioned above and as per recent threads, we seem to have a really good bunch in this team with a good solid character.

 

For me an example was Butterfield by the end of the first half. As noted he'd had a poor half for various reasons, but he seemed to dig in and get through it without losing his composure.

[saintscottofthenortham]

Terrible performance but the boys dug in and carved out a win.

 

I said the same thing after the Charlton game but I'll say it again - Other than scoring Guly was SHÍT! Good lad for the little moment of magic but FFS he was a f*****g joke yesterday. What makes it worse is that he will f*** up and he just doesn't give a monkeys.

 

Stephens was awful. Butters was awful. Hammond was himself. N'Guessen doesn't look one jot like a footballer. Bad bad time to be playing like this but as long as we grind out results that's all that matters.

[Barry the Badger]

I was desperate for lambert to score after the bloke behind me spent the whole match calling him a fat useless c**t.

[sadoldgit]

We won without playing well and are still in an automatic promotion spot yet still there is bickering on here? Let's save it for when we lose eh? 3 points is 3 points and we need every last one if we are to avoid the play offs.

Nguessan has been rubbish but when he came on yesterday was v good I thought. Lambert is class. I would have found it hard to not turn round and tell that guy to bugger off

Sounds like your average moronic football fan that can't see Lambert is being asked to play in a different role to last season.

 

Happy with the result yesterday, although the performance was poor at times it was never going to be easy. Got the impression from many people around me that they expected Bristol to rollover and die for us when it was clearly never going to happen as they're fighting for their lives. Hard to pick a MOM, perhaps Dickson, did well getting forward but I do miss the overlapping we're used to seeing with Harding and Lallana. Guly continues to frustrate, he flashes from pure class to poor so often you can only imagine how good he'd be if he showed more consistency.

 

Wasn't too impressed with Forte, while i've now doubt he's fast he didn't do much on the wings. Very unlucky not to score from the cross which he headed down into the ground and it hit the bar, seemed he had to much time to think about where he was going to place it. Foolish of him to try and catch the ball when it clearly hadn't gone out of play for a throw. Glad some of the others on here could see that too, some really OTT neanderthaloid **** being shouted at Massey when she flagged it, when she was only following the letter of the law.

 

Shame to see Barney go off, he'll be missed if he is out till the end of season, although it'd be fairytale stuff for the forgotten man Connolly to come back in and make himself a hero.

Think that is a reasonable assessment of Guly and Butterfield. Hammond in the first half continually managed to pass to behind the player but upped it in the second half. Perhaps a bit harsh on Stephens although he looked average at best. Did not see enough of N'Guessen but he does not inspire me with confidence.

[derry]

Just floating this out there for comments, but could Connolly play in centre midfield? Quite a few strikers in the twilight of their careers adopt a deeper role, could he do a job there? Mark Hughes springs to mind. That'd be killing two birds with one stone. Too risky a time in the season perhaps, but an option?

 

I thought about this yesterday because of the dire central midfield, but came to a different conclusion. I would team Connolly up front with Guly and play Lallana and Forte wide. But in midfield I would replace the strolling Stephens with the strolling Lambert teamed with Hammond. Lambert is probably the most incisive passer in the team but is not breaking sweat to get into dangerous positions. Stephens made one tackle after losing the ball yesterday, made a few forward passes but mainly sideways and backwards, Lambert would be a much more dangerous player for us and Hammond could concentrate on defensive duties. I came to this conclusion because of Connolly's injury record although he has a great football brain and could probably play central midfield. It isn't however going to happen, as Adkins is very orthodox and not at all innovative or original in his thinking, hence the way Jones and the empty right side turned us over against Rochdale when it was crying out for us to clamp down on their midfield..

[derry]

There has been a lot of talk on here about overlapping full backs. The last thing a really quick player needs is a full back taking the ball up behind him, passing it and going for the overlap because it means the quick player never gets to get down the line pretty much like Forte yesterday. It needs the ball to be given early to the quick player or better still played down the line and the fullback supporting inside but leaving the wingers space for him to run into.

Lambert's been getting a lot of that this season, especially by some people in the Northam.

 

I suppose he's an easy target when he doesn't score but he still does well at bringing players into the game and will usually be involved in any goal we score.

this post confuses me...

[sidthesquid]

Comments on some of the above -

I thought Lambert was crocked & about to come off when Barnard went down.

I thought Hammond & Stephens did pretty well in a packed central midfield area - they were both busy and tidy and got the ball out wide as quick as possible. In fact I trhought we did pretty well overall yesterday. It was definitely a game we could have blown, and the sort we have all too often blown, but we kept playing the right way & we got our reward, which is what the best teams do. Incidentally, that is only our third 1-0 win of the season, which reinforces my past view that we haven't always had the bottle to grind out a result when things aren't going our way. I'm pleased to say that yesterday we did.

[NickG]

Lamber was crocked from around 55 mins. I think he was coming off but then Barnard got injured. He missed one sitter but can't remember anymore he should have scored. I though he looked better going right up front and although has great passing ability would rather him play the role he played last season. Why isn't he playing there? I find nickg a real do gooda and think um has assessed it v well. We didn't play great but won, what's the problem nick? I think getting Morgan back would help midfield. We have managed to win lots without him but IMO that is inspite of midfield being v poor mostly.

 

I don't think we played great and glad we are efficiently grinding out wins.

 

Happen to disagree with Um's assessment on Dickson, but it appears several do and have him as mom.

 

Also happen to think that tactical change when Jaidi went off went some way to improving the game for us yesterday.

 

Agree Lambert missed a sitter, not said he had any others he should have scored with - but were several opportunities when he has scored in other games.

 

I don't have a problem with yesterday, do you?

[stug76]

It's interesting reading the comments on this thread. I went to St Marys for the first time in about 3 years (don't run your own business if you want to have a life!), and as such I had a chance to evaluate the players that I'd read so much about on here.

 

I was gutted that I didn't have the chance to see Lallana and Chamberlain, maybe next time. For me, there were a few stand out players. Guly stood out for me as a quality player and I would be keen to watch him again. It's a shame that he was stuck out wide, I'd love to see him with a roaming role where he can really influence the play. I was disappointed with Lambert, he obviously is one of the more gifted players in the team, but FFS put in some effort! Fonte was a rock, and didn't miss a thing but I dont think that match was really a sever test of his abilities. Barnard was good and I thought we'd miss him when he went off, however, Conolley was a decent replacement. I'm not sure that you can have Lambert in the team without someone like Barnard. All the people that I went with were all down on Davis, but he didn't seem to do anything wrong.

 

On the negative side, well there was only one really - Butterfield. Almost everytime he received the ball, he knocked it about 2 yards ahead, and looked up to see how far he could kick it. He was defensively OK, but if his first instinct was to play the simple ball and get down the wing we would be a much better team.

 

All in all, I thought it was a comfortable victory. I'm sure 3 years ago when I had a season ticket I would of been more nervous, so it was good to watch the match as almost an "outsider".

 

I want to go again now!
