St Chalet Posted 20 August, 2011 Posted 20 August, 2011 Wasn't able to make today, would be interested in who was our MOTM
Roger Posted 20 August, 2011 Posted 20 August, 2011 Wasn't able to make today, would be interested in who was our MOTM Lambert for me.
Saint_lambden Posted 20 August, 2011 Posted 20 August, 2011 Davis, Seaborne, Cork and Lambert all had very good games.
ronnie radford's boots Posted 20 August, 2011 Posted 20 August, 2011 Davis was the difference between 3 points and none today ....end of !!!
Rasiak-9- Posted 20 August, 2011 Posted 20 August, 2011 Has to be given to Lucky the police dog. Did a superb job and really tore Millwall apart (...literally - I overheard their mob *****ing about how a few of their lads were in hospital after the OB set the dogs on them.)
St_Tel49 Posted 21 August, 2011 Posted 21 August, 2011 Guly for me. Quite apart from his goal he worked his socks off and was our best midfielder (Cork was also good though)
SaintRobbie Posted 21 August, 2011 Posted 21 August, 2011 Interesting how there is no clear winner but several contenders. That's a good sign - shows we are working as a team IMHO.
CHAPEL END CHARLIE Posted 21 August, 2011 Posted 21 August, 2011 I was going to say that anyone not voting for Kelvin clearly doesn't know their Arsenal from their Alloh Athletic - but that would be too strident.
70's Mike Posted 21 August, 2011 Posted 21 August, 2011 interesting we kept a clean sheet, were under the cosh for a lot of the second half BUT not many defenders got votes,Richardson for me was superb with little support from Guly or De Ridder
Steeleye Saint Posted 21 August, 2011 Posted 21 August, 2011 Seaborne for me - he won absolutely everything today.
View From The Top Posted 21 August, 2011 Posted 21 August, 2011 I've said Cork but my nipper says KD.
scott_saints Posted 21 August, 2011 Posted 21 August, 2011 Seaborne? F**k me some of you are easily pleased.
Ooooo Mariaaan Posted 21 August, 2011 Posted 21 August, 2011 How on Earth have Seaborne or Richardson got votes?!?
revolution saint Posted 21 August, 2011 Posted 21 August, 2011 I voted Cork, but it's hard picking a stand out clear winner. I just think Cork has taken us to a new level and enables us to play the way NA wants us to play. He wins the ball, keeps it moving and can spot a good pass as well - I'm hard pressed to think of a better CM we've had in years and bargain of the season so far.

He wins the ball, keeps it moving and can spot a good pass as well - I'm hard pressed to think of a better CM we've had in years and bargain of the season so far. Totally agree with that. I'm just baffled why a team like Swansea or QPR didn't sign him, he's such a bargain and he's a premiership level player IMO. I don't care though - at least we have him in our team, perfect fit.
Dr Who? Posted 21 August, 2011 Posted 21 August, 2011 Davies without a shadow of a doubt, was left exposed completely 4 or 5 times, and made a gret double save within this as well. Without these saves we would have been lucky to get 1 point!!
RobM Posted 21 August, 2011 Posted 21 August, 2011 Between Cork and Davis for me, but Cork wins. Kelvin deserves an honourable mention for being so calm and controlled under pressure, especially towards the end of the game.
Golden Balls Posted 21 August, 2011 Posted 21 August, 2011 Seaborne? F**k me some of you are easily pleased. I didn't vote for him and not his biggest fan, but he did well today. Their front line targeted him and he was being bullied but stood up to the task as well as won everything in the air.
TheSaint75 Posted 21 August, 2011 Posted 21 August, 2011 Guly for me. Quite apart from his goal he worked his socks off and was our best midfielder (Cork was also good though) This
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 21 August, 2011 Posted 21 August, 2011 Cork seems to have either won or been a top contender in all four of our first games. Pretty good!
SaintBobby Posted 21 August, 2011 Posted 21 August, 2011 I'm glad - for some reason I can't quite put my finger on - that my comment on the post-match thread that Cork was MOTM with an honourable mention for Seaborne seems to be agreed by many other fans according to the early results. Davis made some good saves, but there were some communication problems at the back. E.g. when he came charging out and didn't appear to tell the defence that it was his ball to clear and when Fonte cleared with an overhead kick when Kelvin could have put his name on it and collected.
RobM Posted 21 August, 2011 Posted 21 August, 2011 I didn't vote for him and not his biggest fan, but he did well today. Their front line targeted him and he was being bullied but stood up to the task as well as won everything in the air. My sentiments too, it seemed like they saw him as the weak link. I actually came out of the game more of a fan of him and less of Richardson, who I thought had a poor game yesterday. I would have predicted the exact opposite beforehand.
StDunko Posted 21 August, 2011 Posted 21 August, 2011 Kelvin was very dominant in the air at the end. There were three or four balls delivered high into the area near the end and he came and claimed them all.
scott_saints Posted 21 August, 2011 Posted 21 August, 2011 I didn't vote for him and not his biggest fan, but he did well today. Their front line targeted him and he was being bullied but stood up to the task as well as won everything in the air. They targeted him because HE IS the weak link. I agree that he won almost everything in th air, but the whole concept of "time on the ball" seems alien to him.
yateleysaint Posted 21 August, 2011 Posted 21 August, 2011 Cork? Cork?! He barely touched the ball and couldn't get in the game. I like him but thought he was well off the pace yesterday. Why do you think Millwall waltzed through at every opportunity? There were no stand out performers but I've gone for Guly for the goal and his hold up play. Normally I find him very frustrating.
sperm_john Posted 21 August, 2011 Posted 21 August, 2011 sounds like guly had a good game - and without him no goal = no win, motm for me today
saintscottofthenortham Posted 21 August, 2011 Posted 21 August, 2011 They targeted him because HE IS the weak link. I agree that he won almost everything in th air, but the whole concept of "time on the ball" seems alien to him. Exactly. We put a nice 10 passes together, the ball was played back to Seash*t with the intention of keeping the ball but without taking a touch, without looking around him, he just hoofed it. He is utter sh*t.

Good grief. What game were you watching? Cork was superb.
colehillsaint Posted 21 August, 2011 Posted 21 August, 2011 I voted Cork. For the time he spent on the pitch I thought De Ridder gave them plenty to think about.
deadpanmatt Posted 21 August, 2011 Posted 21 August, 2011 Richardson was too easily outpaced by their left winger, bit worrying. Seabourne won some good headers but he looked dodgy overall. He did better when under pressure than when he had time to think.
CitySaint Posted 21 August, 2011 Posted 21 August, 2011 Are we just going to give it to Jack Cork every week at this rate?
Bourno Posted 21 August, 2011 Posted 21 August, 2011 I have given my vote to Cork on the 3 previous league games, today KD just.
CHAPEL END CHARLIE Posted 21 August, 2011 Posted 21 August, 2011 Richardson was too easily outpaced by their left winger, bit worrying. Seabourne won some good headers but he looked dodgy overall. He did better when under pressure than when he had time to think. 'Out of his depth' is the term I would have used, but 'Dodgy' will serve just as well I suppose. In a squad that now has so many genuinely talented players at its disposal ordinary footballers like Seaborne, or Richardson for instance, look as out of place as a Transit van at a Ferrari Dealers.
70's Mike Posted 21 August, 2011 Posted 21 August, 2011 lots of criticism of defenders but did we concede a goal, a football team like a good orchestra needs different skills in different positions
basher Posted 21 August, 2011 Posted 21 August, 2011 Richardson and Davis were class !!! http://www.sportpulse.net/content/championship-round-1484 plz read
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 21 August, 2011 Posted 21 August, 2011 Richardson and Davis were class !!! http://www.sportpulse.net/content/championship-round-1484 plz read Did you write that? A bit brief, and just in the saints bit it should be 'their' not there and Brazilian has one 'l'.
Son of Bob Posted 22 August, 2011 Posted 22 August, 2011 Well I've bucked the trend and gone for Harding as MotM. I thought he looked solid, reliable and very comfortable on the ball. I think there will be healthy competition between him and Fox this season for that left spot.
Block 5 Posted 22 August, 2011 Posted 22 August, 2011 Cork had a great first half but Davis kept us in that game, so he's my MOTM.
CWD Posted 22 August, 2011 Posted 22 August, 2011 Cant't understand the criticism of Richardson. I thought he was brilliant and my MOTM.
