waterlooville saint Posted 29 November, 2011 Share Posted 29 November, 2011 Great result. Thought Saturday might have been the start of the slippery slope, especially at half time tonight, but now quietly confident again ... especially if it really does go pear shaped at Nottarf Krap!

Lallana's Left Peg Posted 29 November, 2011 Share Posted 29 November, 2011 Fantastic win this evening, always been worried about how we react to defeats when momentum has played such a big factor to our season. After three defeats this season, we've come back and won the next league game. Sounded like we fully deserved it tonight too. 8pts clear of third, absolutely delighted and hope we can keep it up.

Super_Saint Posted 29 November, 2011 Share Posted 29 November, 2011 The win streak continues. Really happy with this win in particular, we bounce back after losing to Bristol and from 1-0 down. Just hope Saints don't make me so nervous next time! West Ham beating Boro is a good result in my eyes. I'd prefer to widen the gap on 3rd/4th than West Ham as they will probably make the top 2 anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opthomps Posted 29 November, 2011 Share Posted 29 November, 2011 When the chips were down did really well to get another win, especially after saturdays display. On to donny, no reason cant win there. stay top 2 by christmas and see if we can strengthen to really push on for a promotion challenge. Good work saints.

Lazlo78 Posted 29 November, 2011 Share Posted 29 November, 2011 Difficult game against a strong Hull side. Glad that we didn't collapse after going behind - it did sound like we were 2nd best in the first half. Squad showed some depth with Harding, de Ridder, Schneiderlin and Barnard getting involved today... Edit: oh, entirely forgot: now all of our 3 league defeats this season have been followed by a victory. That counts for a lot - every team can lose a game (for various reasons) but we never let it turn in to a run of defeats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The team has been together a long time now, and the same group of 13 or 14 have played every game. We definitely need some new blood in January if we are to keep up the momentum.

Saint Garrett Posted 29 November, 2011 Share Posted 29 November, 2011 Was worried once we went 1-0 down, but sounded like having a proper wide midfielder playing out on the right helped massively and freed up Lallana a bit on the other side.

S-Clarke Posted 29 November, 2011 Share Posted 29 November, 2011 That was probably our best win of the season. At HT we were in big trouble, we didn't penetrate enough in the first half or create much. They were always neat and tidy on the ball and carried a threat, whilst they were solid closing us down with a really fluid and dynamic midfield.. As soon as they nicked the lead when they did it looked a long way back. I felt sorry for Davis because his initial save was stunning. We came out in the 2nd half like a train, the first 10 mins we stepped up 2 gears and turned the game on it's head. I didn't see that turn around coming based on the first half! All of a sudden we had width, we had pace and penetration in and around the box and it paid off. After that initial spell we kind of gave the impetus back to Hull and they stepped it up and passed it around very well, their pace up top through Maclean caused us a real issue at times. They were easily the best team we've played at home this year and they will be a force in the 2nd half, no doubts about that. They've got some real quality, which is why this win is so satisfying - we dug in and won that like a team that knows how to win games, from any position. That's what 2 years of winning in L1 with the same players gives you. Not too bothered WHU won, I'm more pleased that the gap between us and 3rd is increasing. It looks at the moment to be us and WHU going nip and tuck at the top, with the rest playing catch up. I never thought I'd be saying that.....!

ant Posted 29 November, 2011 Share Posted 29 November, 2011 (edited) My reaction? Yeeesssssssssssssss! Go and look at that league table - we're now eight points ahead of Cardiff in 3rd A decent number of positives to take from that performance - OK, it shouldn't take conceding for the lads to wake up, but there's a good spin to take from coming back in that manner. That said a few of the lads are looking a little off. Lallana and Barnard clearly need all of the game time they can get (just for two, not picking them out especially) and we could do with somebody to take control of the right flank (de Ridder did well when he came on - a starter yet?) Felt that we were cutting back and faffing around on that side rather than getting the early ball in. Thought Guly looked knackered from the moment the game kicked off! The quality's there, just feels like a few of them need a rest. Certain positions we can easily rotate but bolstering a couple of the others in January should be the aim. Again on the positive side, our 'plan B' worked very nicely in the second half and we effectively nullified the threat shown in the glimpses from Hull in the first half. As it goes I was fairly impressed with them - came to play the right way and knocked it around quite nicely (to start with at least). Very important result overall, the impact could be far-reaching for the season. On and on and on, together as one Edited 29 November, 2011 by ant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
um pahars Posted 29 November, 2011 Share Posted 29 November, 2011 Just got in and have to say not the best performance I've seen, but the points are in the bag and bouncing back after Saturday is a real positive. Too many players off the boil tonight and a bit of a worry for me over our fringe players. Credit to Hull, they're not a bad team at all and had us under the cosh for long periods. A draw would probably have been fair, but maybe tonight was a trade off against games we should have got something out of. Players not on form tonight included Lallana (is he still struggling with the injury?), Guly (didn't look interested at times and not sharp, but then gets us back in the game), Hammond (game was passing him by at times). We just didn't seem to get the ball moving as we have in recent matches. Think Hull did a bit of a number on us and could also pass it about themselves. My other worry was the subs. De Ridder gave us width and an outlet, but I'm still to be convinced he is up to it. Barnard threw himself about a bit, but I can't help but feel he's not the quality we need and Holmes contributed zero. Sending off looked a but harsh. Definitely a rash challenge, but not sure it was worthy of a red. Overjoyed to have bounced back, but certainly need to step our game up I think.
