um pahars Posted 2 January, 2012 Posted 2 January, 2012 to be fair, he has no options. The fact we have Forte and Reeves on the bench says it all really. We're struggling, not as much as Brighton for players, but we're pretty depleted. We need new players before the Forest game for sure. Been saying the same for a while, in that our bench has looked very, very lightweight. When you're resorting to Holmes, Forte and De Ridder to win games then you're going to struggle.
Micky Posted 2 January, 2012 Posted 2 January, 2012 Feels like the old days.... It does, doesn't it - really we should be used to this shyte. It's just a shame that we seem intent on blowing all the good work that got us to here in the first place. The thing that (3 nil) ****es me off is that I really don't think that we will get a better chance of promotion next season.
Leicestersaint Posted 2 January, 2012 Posted 2 January, 2012 This is making a real dent in our goal difference. Now will someone accept we are off form?
dune Posted 2 January, 2012 Posted 2 January, 2012 3-0. Hardly a shock as with Guly up there who can't hold a ball up and has no first touch we are basically down to 9 men.
Saint Without a Halo Posted 2 January, 2012 Posted 2 January, 2012 This bl**dy commentator is revelling in it!
sambosa75 Posted 2 January, 2012 Posted 2 January, 2012 Apparently he's wonderful and 9 bad performances out of every ten is acceptable. Offered considerably more than every ones favourite bum chum Adam Lallana in the last couple of months though. But we can't say that because Lallana is a Saints fan and academy product.
S-Clarke Posted 2 January, 2012 Posted 2 January, 2012 lol greer sent off, and another suspension for them.
dubai_phil Posted 2 January, 2012 Posted 2 January, 2012 Red Card for Brighton Forte flattened and Saints player cuts out
Under Weststand Posted 2 January, 2012 Posted 2 January, 2012 Red card for a brighton player LOL to late to make a difference
CanadaSaint Posted 2 January, 2012 Posted 2 January, 2012 This is a scandalously bad performance following a number of below-par efforts, and Cortese needs to ask some very serious questions. If this were anyone else but the affable Nigel Adkins after a wonderful year-long run, we might be asking whether he's lost the dressing room.
Thedelldays Posted 2 January, 2012 Posted 2 January, 2012 3-0.unacceptable, and a true disaster result. I'm not used to hearing us loose like this no matter how anyone (if they try) dares to dress it up.....going to a depleted brighton and getting turned over like this is shocking.....probably up there with brentford at home
Matthew Le God Posted 2 January, 2012 Posted 2 January, 2012 We used to have a really strong Goal Difference as well...... And still do.
Crazy Diamond Posted 2 January, 2012 Posted 2 January, 2012 D'Urso has no control over this game. ****ing joke of a referee.
S-Clarke Posted 2 January, 2012 Posted 2 January, 2012 3-0. Hardly a shock as with Guly up there who can't hold a ball up and has no first touch we are basically down to 9 men. he's not playing......it's forte up top.
beatlesaint Posted 2 January, 2012 Posted 2 January, 2012 i hope it wasnt a tactical decision to leave SDR out - if it was it was a bad one Must be injured the way he has played in the last two games. Would have been on the bench at least otherwise.
ludgershallsaint Posted 2 January, 2012 Posted 2 January, 2012 oh dear oh dear of dear can it get worse? No. Greer sent off and we have 12 days to regroup.
Saint Without a Halo Posted 2 January, 2012 Posted 2 January, 2012 This match seems to be a bigger grudge match than POOPEY as far as the players of both sides are concerned!
St.Patrik Posted 2 January, 2012 Posted 2 January, 2012 We can lose top spot if they score more... Bummer - is that OK to say or is that to negative??
Dalek2003 Posted 2 January, 2012 Posted 2 January, 2012 It does not pain you at all, you bloody gloat over it. By the way 17th is not mid-table, so you can stick your fecking prediction where the sun don't shine. Note I said lower mid table. Yes it does hurt. My prediction was based on hard nosed facts, that our squad was not big enough and not strengthened enough. If I had based my prediction on my dreams alone, the I would have predicted top 2. I can understnad the disappointment of people now, but I am not the manager and I don not run the club.
S-Clarke Posted 2 January, 2012 Posted 2 January, 2012 no matter how anyone (if they try) dares to dress it up.....going to a depleted brighton and getting turned over like this is shocking.....probably up there with brentford at home Worse than that, this is up with the Swindon away days with Patterson up front. I feel sorry for all our fans that have been going away this year, it's a pretty thankless task.
Saint Without a Halo Posted 2 January, 2012 Posted 2 January, 2012 Merrington sees a come back with 3mins left
corky morris Posted 2 January, 2012 Posted 2 January, 2012 ****ing **** - worse result of the season! Need signings, need a kick up the arse, need some width. Brighton the most cynical nasty bunch of bastards I have ever seen. Gully misses an open goal first half as does Cork in the second. Time for Adkins to really step up to the plate..........glad I did not go TBH!!!
Webby Posted 2 January, 2012 Posted 2 January, 2012 8 pts from 24! Shocking. But we're still top! Amazing.
Super_Saint Posted 2 January, 2012 Posted 2 January, 2012 Sorry but thats ****ing useless. Lamberts suspension certainly isn't going to help us maintain our position.
RobM Posted 2 January, 2012 Posted 2 January, 2012 3-0. Hardly a shock as with Guly up there who can't hold a ball up and has no first touch we are basically down to 9 men. You should try listening to the match before shouting your mouth, Guly isn't on the pitch. Shows how desperate you are to criticise him.
sambosa75 Posted 2 January, 2012 Posted 2 January, 2012 This is a scandalously bad performance following a number of below-par efforts, and Cortese needs to ask some very serious questions. If this were anyone else but the affable Nigel Adkins after a wonderful year-long run, we might be asking whether he's lost the dressing room. Haha, I will take this as an attempt at humour. Man Utd lost at home to Blackburn a couple of days ago... I suppose you think Fergie should be sacked as well.
Colinjb Posted 2 January, 2012 Posted 2 January, 2012 Praying that my 'home town' team Coventry do us a favour. Keep Wham in check.
Window Cleaner Posted 2 January, 2012 Posted 2 January, 2012 This match seems to be a bigger grudge match than POOPEY as far as the players of both sides are concerned! Normal, they felt that they were robbed when we beat them at home,and perhaps they're not wrong.
JustMike Posted 2 January, 2012 Posted 2 January, 2012 3-0. Hardly a shock as with Guly up there who can't hold a ball up and has no first touch we are basically down to 9 men. Guly was subbed not long after us going down to 10
S-Clarke Posted 2 January, 2012 Posted 2 January, 2012 Insane decision to leave SDR out. He's injured afaik. Was carrying a knock from the BC game.
VectisSaint Posted 2 January, 2012 Posted 2 January, 2012 If we're still in touch with the top 2 at the end of january we'd have done well IMO. Not disagreeing that things are not looking good right now, but how could we not be in touch with the Top 2 at the end January. Worst case scenario, extremely unlikely (bit possible) we could be 7 points behind 2nd place. That would still be "in touch" in most people's view. There are only 3 more games this month, and none of us are likely to lose or win all three.
St Mikie Posted 2 January, 2012 Posted 2 January, 2012 Time to roll the sleeves up now and knuckle down to some hard work! It's bl***y close at the top!
Ohio Saint Posted 2 January, 2012 Posted 2 January, 2012 no matter how anyone (if they try) dares to dress it up..... I doubt anyone will try to dress it up. Nobody wants to see a pig in a mini skirt.
Vershinin Posted 2 January, 2012 Posted 2 January, 2012 Durso lost us this game, complete ****. We have to reinforce, but today durso has turned in an Oscar winning performance.
Saint Stimp Posted 2 January, 2012 Posted 2 January, 2012 But is he wrong? Yes - the point that the OP was making was that Davis is not good enough to play in the premiership, not that he never has done. We all know he played in the premiership for one season for a terrible Sunderland side where he had a terrible season and did nothing to prove he was good enough for the top division. MLG was just being pedantic for the sake of it.
Dalek2003 Posted 2 January, 2012 Posted 2 January, 2012 This is a scandalously bad performance following a number of below-par efforts, and Cortese needs to ask some very serious questions. If this were anyone else but the affable Nigel Adkins after a wonderful year-long run, we might be asking whether he's lost the dressing room. I doubt that, the squad is not strong enough or big enough. We have simply run out of steam because we are knackered. But, we have enough points in the bag to finish comfortably in mid to lower mid table as I predicted back in August.
DrunkenSaint Posted 2 January, 2012 Posted 2 January, 2012 Because Barnard is out, 3 strikers were on the pitch? One pulled up injured, one has been red carded. Still you don't put Forte on, DC could of played upfront on his own and put on Holmes which would of kept our flanks defended somewhat. Gully should of never started in the first place, he's been carried along for a long time now everyone else see's it but NA. We need to splash the cash and quickly.
Saints foreva Posted 2 January, 2012 Posted 2 January, 2012 Three defeats on their way, we're a one man team and from memory have lost every League game that Lambert hasn't started since he signed.
Micky Posted 2 January, 2012 Posted 2 January, 2012 Merrington sees a come back with 3mins left Idiot - we could play for 3 days and not get back into it.
S-Clarke Posted 2 January, 2012 Posted 2 January, 2012 Not disagreeing that things are not looking good right now, but how could we not be in touch with the Top 2 at the end January. Worst case scenario, extremely unlikely (bit possible) we could be 7 points behind 2nd place. That would still be "in touch" in most people's view. There are only 3 more games this month, and none of us are likely to lose or win all three. What I meant to say is that we'll be lucky to be in the top 2 come the end of January.

There are only 3 more games this month, and none of us are likely to lose or win all three. It's a very good point and worth remembering. This is a bad, bad period, but the season isn't over and were still at the top. Just as a bad spell could see us drop a few places, a good spell could see us right back in it again.
