Leicestersaint Posted 30 December, 2011 Share Posted 30 December, 2011 very disappointing - we have been off form for a month or so and are really missing Chaplow and all that he brings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpine_saint Posted 30 December, 2011 Share Posted 30 December, 2011 Absolutely dire. The team was not up for the game at all. Cant win promotion with games like this in the season record. Hope we dont all look back on this game as the one where promotion went away. Absolutely essential to bounce back on Monday with a win, and to back this up with some pretty prompt transfer activity.

Monk Posted 30 December, 2011 Share Posted 30 December, 2011 Not good enough tonight but hey, the lads have been fantastic over the last year so won't cry over it, unlike a few of you queens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Strover Posted 30 December, 2011 Share Posted 30 December, 2011 **** poor result - still no matter it will make some people very happy - Dalek, Alpine, so every cloud has a silver lining....and we'll still be top after Saturday too. Mind you a few more of these games and we won't.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dalek2003 Posted 30 December, 2011 Share Posted 30 December, 2011 oh dear, this is going to be a tough 2nd half to the season As I predicted, with a small squad. Mind you our fantastic autumn run should see us comfortably finish in a mid or lower mid table position which is still a reasonable finish for a newly promoted team.

alpine_saint Posted 30 December, 2011 Share Posted 30 December, 2011 How do you know. You weren't even there. Well, that one took a long time to raise its head. The sad, bankrupt side-swipe of someone with no argument to make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpine_saint Posted 30 December, 2011 Share Posted 30 December, 2011 oh dear, this is going to be a tough 2nd half to the season Especially the next 2 months. We could end up around mid-table, I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micky Posted 30 December, 2011 Share Posted 30 December, 2011 Said after the loss at Bristol that many seem to be quite blase about it - and that seems to still be the case. We have missed some fantastic opportunities to really put a marker down in this league, but failed on each occasion. Totally hacked off, can only see this giving other teams a boost, really expect to be overhauled quite quickly. Will be interesting to see if we can play catch up, or get through the play offs.

SuperMikey Posted 30 December, 2011 Share Posted 30 December, 2011 Shame that we couldn't build up a bit of momentum after an excellent performance against Palace, but we struggle against Brizzle for some reason.

Mind you a few more of these games and we won't.... You couldn't be more wrong.

geoffnut Posted 30 December, 2011 Share Posted 30 December, 2011 Always going to lose at home sometime but to a team 3rd from bottom! Wonder what will happen when we play the good teams. Anyway what a great 2011 our team have given us, a win at Brighton will be a nice start to 2012. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right Alpine but I am not confident that we will act promptly in the transfer market. Either we cannot afford the quality, their is not the will to invest in quality or we trying to do it more cheaply by building slowly over a longer period of time.

Being fine and being promoted are two completely different things. As others have pointed out here - we are in a position that will be very hard to emulate in later seasons. If we do not capitalise from here, then we could remain in this league for many seasons to come. Yes, we will be fine - but fine is not the aim.

wessex saint Posted 30 December, 2011 Share Posted 30 December, 2011 Well, that one took a long time to raise its head. The sad, bankrupt side-swipe of someone with no argument to make. Not really. You weren't there so to use words like dire are amazing. Were you there for the Palace game? Because at that game we showed we were way classier than the oppo.. the result was never in doubt for those who were there although I'm sure it sounded very different on the radio. I am gutted to lose against a team like City but I won't comment on the performance as I wasn't there. It's terrible being a Saints fan isn't it? Top of the league.... Top scorer and joint 3rd in the division. Things look bleak eh?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to add to the depression but the slide is starting and will accelerate as the season draws to an end. We have enough points to finish 17th or just above.

I am starting to see a worrying parallel between Burley's full season ending in play-off heartbreak and this season. This really could be our big chance that we are about to blow if NC and NA get the decisions wrong over the next couple of weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlakeySFC Posted 30 December, 2011 Share Posted 30 December, 2011 I think this one was written in the stars to be honest. I'm bitterly dissapointed as everyone is but: Bristol City haven't lost their last fixture of the calendar year since 2000, and we haven't beat them since 2008 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thornhill_saints Posted 30 December, 2011 Share Posted 30 December, 2011 Just back from the game, thats the worst performance all season, apart from the 2 - 0 away to bristol.

Rasiak-9- Posted 30 December, 2011 Share Posted 30 December, 2011 Yes we will as I predicted. As you predicted etc. I could understand if there was some sort of tone of regret or disappointment to any of your posts. But every single time the emphasis is solely on the fact that "you predicted it" "my prediction of 17th will be closest" etc.etc. You're making it very clear which outcome is preferable to you.
