Saint_clark Posted 7 January, 2012 Posted 7 January, 2012 Good turn around. Delighted for Ward-Prowse and Martin getting their first Saints goals.
S-Clarke Posted 7 January, 2012 Posted 7 January, 2012 Really good 2nd half. Sounded like a GK howler for the winner, but we pushed very hard in that 2nd half and made those opportunities with a pretty young team. We needed to end that losing run, and we have. We now go into the Forest game with a bit of a boost.
SOTONS EAST SIDE Posted 7 January, 2012 Posted 7 January, 2012 Get in. Mini slump over, and an away win!! COOL
Thorpe-le-Saint Posted 7 January, 2012 Posted 7 January, 2012 Wahey. I know it was only Coventry but onwards and upwards for Forest next Saturday - COYR!
sambosa75 Posted 7 January, 2012 Posted 7 January, 2012 Lads showed character. Good on them. Ward-Prowse and Martin scoring should do wonders for the confidence. Really is a squad game.
shirleysfc Posted 7 January, 2012 Posted 7 January, 2012 Bet on a draw but will take a win I suppose...
Saint_Jonny Posted 7 January, 2012 Posted 7 January, 2012 Didn't think we'd get a result today but we have! Get in. In the hat tomorrow let hope we get an exciting draw!
DG Posted 7 January, 2012 Posted 7 January, 2012 Winning away from home after falling behind with a bunch of kids, nicely done Saints.
alpine_saint Posted 7 January, 2012 Posted 7 January, 2012 Pleased. Stops the rot, and a great confidence boost.
Viking Warrior Posted 7 January, 2012 Posted 7 January, 2012 Well done Saints and all the youngsters. Oh and full marks for me in the prediction league. How many would we have scored if we had the full team out.
Crazy Diamond Posted 7 January, 2012 Posted 7 January, 2012 Hooray! Now, who do we want in the fourth round?
niceandfriendly Posted 7 January, 2012 Posted 7 January, 2012 Nice, nice. Wasn't too bothered about today's game in truth, but this come back will be very good for confidence. Very pleased for the 1700 Saints who made the trip today.
Minty Posted 7 January, 2012 Posted 7 January, 2012 I'm gonna repost this here because I think it's relevant. On the match thread, someone asked why Adkins 'gets it so wrong and leaves it so long to change it', and this was my reply: This nicely highlights many of the problems we have at the moment, but not in a way you might think. It highlights why some fans' black-and-white thinking (and often Dave Merrington's too) means they make fools of themselves. Nigel Adkins always has a plan. He watches the opposition, he sends a team and formation out to do a job. He changes things, he tries things, and he is always analysing what is going on. Sometimes it works nicely. Sometimes, the opposition don't play as Nigel might have expected, sometimes Saints' don't play quite how he intended or players having a poor game mean we don't do the job intended. Sometimes luck plays a part. That's football. Stuff happens, things change. It is never a question of simply getting something 'right' or 'wrong'. That only happens in hindsight. Nigel will get stuff wrong, but everything he does is done for a reason and I would rather someone like him in charge to get us out of a bad patch, rather than rely on luck of a chequebook. He has earnt our trust IMO. And when the going gets tough, it is even more important to recognise this.
alpine_saint Posted 7 January, 2012 Posted 7 January, 2012 Winning away from home after falling behind with a bunch of kids, nicely done Saints. yes.
S-Clarke Posted 7 January, 2012 Posted 7 January, 2012 Hooray! Now, who do we want in the fourth round? A home game against anyone to be honest.
saint_disco123 Posted 7 January, 2012 Posted 7 January, 2012 im happy that we won today rather then drawed tbh, we need to show that we can win without SRL.
CWD Posted 7 January, 2012 Posted 7 January, 2012 Can't wait to hear how the youngsters did from the fans there. Well done lads, and congrats especially to JWP and Martin.
Foxstone Posted 7 January, 2012 Posted 7 January, 2012 Excellent confidence boost, with a number of our youngsters playing their part today. Forest drew today so they will have a mid-week reply to worry about while we can rest... Please let this be the corner turned..
Under Weststand Posted 7 January, 2012 Posted 7 January, 2012 Good result nice to see Ward Prowse & Martin on the score sheet, great for the youngsters to fight back to win from that awful 1st half.
Norm Posted 7 January, 2012 Posted 7 January, 2012 Well done, Saints. Now for Spurs/Man ?/ L'pool at home.
Saint Charlie Posted 7 January, 2012 Posted 7 January, 2012 It should certainly boost Bart's confidence Sounded like he was decent. Leicester will have a midweek reply before our game as well after 0-0 with Forest.
Toomer Posted 7 January, 2012 Posted 7 January, 2012 TBO I thought we would get beat 2-1 happy to be wrong.
alpine_saint Posted 7 January, 2012 Posted 7 January, 2012 Excellent confidence boost, with a number of our youngsters playing their part today. Forest drew today so they will have a mid-week reply to worry about while we can rest... Please let this be the corner turned.. Gets my vote.
S-Clarke Posted 7 January, 2012 Posted 7 January, 2012 Well done kids. Wish we hadn't played Lallana though, surely a good time for a rest and let Holmes play. Result of the day? Forest 0 Leicester 0, extra fixture for both to worry about when we play them. Good point on the forest result - nice.
Monk Posted 7 January, 2012 Posted 7 January, 2012 Went for a sleep at HT. Delighted to see the lads pull this around, especially with Martin and JWP scoring. On a personal note, first time I have never given a toss about the FA Cup. Its really loosing its 'magic'
alpine_saint Posted 7 January, 2012 Posted 7 January, 2012 Result of the day? Forest 0 Leicester 0, extra fixture for both to worry about when we play them. That sort of thing never seems to make a difference against us. Brighton we knackered and down to their last dozen players, remember ?
Saint Billy Posted 7 January, 2012 Posted 7 January, 2012 Great stuff, we needed a win to stop the slide of form, even better with a makeshift side.
Dibden Purlieu Saint Posted 7 January, 2012 Posted 7 January, 2012 yes. You're trying too hard to get away from the reams of idiotic posts you put in the match thread.
Window Cleaner Posted 7 January, 2012 Posted 7 January, 2012 Whens the draw? tomorrow afty about half five.
S-Clarke Posted 7 January, 2012 Posted 7 January, 2012 Whens the draw? After tomorrows late game I think.
Chez Posted 7 January, 2012 Posted 7 January, 2012 Reading lost at home to Stevangefull strength Reading side too.
derry Posted 7 January, 2012 Posted 7 January, 2012 Lallana with good cross and Fox puts another good delivery in for a headed goal.
SuperSAINT Posted 7 January, 2012 Posted 7 January, 2012 Good result. Sounded like a game of 2 formations. Really happy the nippers were involved in a game we won (after losing to Palace). I'll take a winnable home-game in the next round please.
bender Posted 7 January, 2012 Posted 7 January, 2012 still here in a box. Just goes to show football is a confidence game. Changed completely after equaliser. We were like the team we were before the slump. This changes our season for me.
DrunkenSaint Posted 7 January, 2012 Posted 7 January, 2012 Yes good result good for moral but please NA stop using this diamond formation for long periods, first 45 mins were not at all good, when we went to the standard 442 in the 2nd half we started to dominate.
DT Posted 7 January, 2012 Posted 7 January, 2012 Very pleased. An important win to stop the rot. Don't care what they say about the cup being a distraction. This will be good for momentum and to ease Adkins' pressure.
Chez Posted 7 January, 2012 Posted 7 January, 2012 Whens the draw?the number 1 reason why we had to win today as the draw is bloody horrible if you are already knocked out.
SuperSAINT Posted 7 January, 2012 Posted 7 January, 2012 Looking forward to hearing Nige's post-match reaction.
vince Posted 7 January, 2012 Posted 7 January, 2012 Hooray! Now, who do we want in the fourth round? ManUre at home, followed by a repeat of the home form that followed!! :^)
ericofarabia Posted 7 January, 2012 Posted 7 January, 2012 EIEIEIO up the Prediction League I go. 1st 10 pointer of the season for me. Get in.
Window Cleaner Posted 7 January, 2012 Posted 7 January, 2012 the number 1 reason why we had to win today as the draw is bloody horrible if you are already knocked out. yep nothing seems so final as going out of the FA Cup.
