alpine_saint Posted 14 January, 2012 Share Posted 14 January, 2012 Connolly is a great player when fit and sharp. Could make all the difference on the run-in again, like last season, if it stays that way. Sounds like Lallana is waking up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackanorySFC Posted 14 January, 2012 Share Posted 14 January, 2012 That was Forest fans - "You are my forest, my only forest, you make me happy when skies are grey" etc...few seconds later at the final whistle? BOOOOOOOO! Ha, dodgy speakers on the old lap top! Thought it was Forest, hats of to them for showing that support at the end, they were bossed by us in that second half! Can't wait to see that loon Cotterill's post match comments - the guy is properly mental and will no doubt say they deserved to shade it based on possession or sommit like that.

Legod Third Coming Posted 14 January, 2012 Share Posted 14 January, 2012 Connolly is a great player when fit and sharp. Could make all the difference on the run-in again, like last season, if it stays that way. Sounds like Lallana is waking up. To be honest, neither of them were at their best/sharpest today but we were still miles too good for Forest. Lallana's skill gets him by when he's not 100% fit (which I'm convinced he's not). Connolly just needs game time. His brain is first class!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWD Posted 14 January, 2012 Share Posted 14 January, 2012 Brilliant result! Cork is much better on the right than Morgan, and Morgan was superb in the middle. I think the red card was fair, you can't jump in with your arm like that. Defence were excellent. I was one of the many who feared we could capitulate in this game, but well done team, these lads are made of some stern stuff. I think we'll go up as champions.

Chin Strain Posted 14 January, 2012 Share Posted 14 January, 2012 One think I noticed with these balls and a bit of a bumpy, skiddy pitch is that if you hit it hard and low the keeper has less of a chance.Camp made some good saves with the ball high and at mid height but on the daisy cutter he's as vunerable as Kelvin sometimes looks. Thought the pitch was pretty poor TBH - maybe something to do with the frost, but it looked bobbly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohio Saint Posted 14 January, 2012 Share Posted 14 January, 2012 My thanks also to whoever first made the hahasports link. Great stream!! Great work by Saints. Second half was magic, especially considering the augmentations of late. I am very hopeful that this is the start of our second wind after recent bad luck and ref decisions.

Need to keep an eye on Brum - coming up the rails fast. They're doing well, like a steam train at the mo. They'll struggle to keep a couple of their players this month though as they're being linked away, and they have no funds to bring any in. So it'll be interesting to see what they do... I don't think they have any room for mistake tbh, even with a win in their game in hand they're still 7 points behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sir_fred Posted 14 January, 2012 Share Posted 14 January, 2012 Good win against a lame Forest. The game was quiet even before the sending off but after the red Forest just couldn´t handle our possession football. MOTM by a mile was Jos who won everything. I was also impressed by Lallana who might not have had the best game attacking wise but his work rate was great to see. He clearly has his heart in this promotion chase.

Lazlo78 Posted 14 January, 2012 Share Posted 14 January, 2012 Saw the entire game but was unable to post for the 2nd half. What a game!!! First half was fairly even with us looking much better in possession and Forest (somewhat) threatening on the counter. One goal lead looked less vulnerable than I'd have expected from a makeshift team in a minor slump playing away from home. The red card seemed slightly harsh (but not compared to Lambert's!) and was decisive - and for once we closed the game down! So many positives to take from today - we're much stronger both mentally and squad-wise than I thought. Honorable mentions to Harding. Patiently waiting your chance and then playing out of position like that, I felt he made the best of the situation today. Had to cut in to cross but seemingly his opponent didn't figure that out?!

derry Posted 14 January, 2012 Share Posted 14 January, 2012 The three central midfielders need Hammond and Schneiderlin in the middle and Cork wide to make it work. Any other way it doesn't work. Harding had another good performance on the right. The passing and movement was excellent. It looked like a very good collective team performance today, now have nine days to prepare for two home games and get the injured back in the squad plus a bit of reinforcement. It could be that we have hit on a good midfield line up for away games. Cork on the right in front of Harding/Richardson/Butterfield for the first hour. Harding, who I have seen play right back a few times including Wembley, looks good there, he seems more solid on the right in spite of being on his wrong side. Good to see Butterfield back.

david in sweden Posted 14 January, 2012 Share Posted 14 January, 2012 could have been 6-0 in the last 10 mins. Lee Camp made fantastic saves from Holmes and Hammond and Martin just missed a ball at the far post when only a yard out! Second half was classic stuff ! Connolly made his poached goal from 6 yard box look so simple - pure class Good to see players taking chances from outside box. Schneiderlin's (rare) goal from 25 yards out was really stylish.

waterlooville saint Posted 14 January, 2012 Share Posted 14 January, 2012 Thanks for the hahasports link, managed to watch the last 15 minutes or so. We looked really good - need to carry it forward and we've got some season defining matches coming up in the next few weeks - Leicester, West Ham, Cardiff and Birmingham. If we're on song and fully fit we should be OK, but I've been watching Saints too long to be relaxed about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we saw last week in the second half that it could work that way, today it was the way of it from the start so perhaps we have finally seen the light.I quite liked Harding at RB,not a match for Richardson when fit but does a decent job and works well with Cork I thought.

ooh it's a corner Posted 14 January, 2012 Share Posted 14 January, 2012 hats off to whoever posted the stream link on the match thread. I really enjoyed that. Cracking performance in keep the football. Patient and lots of movement, we looked back to our best with that sort of showing (and let's not forget that is without Lambert and Fonte). top, top performance, albeit against a poor Forest side.

Saint Charlie Posted 14 January, 2012 Share Posted 14 January, 2012 Got to say as well that Aaron Martin has been excellent since he has come into the team.

ottery st mary Posted 14 January, 2012 Share Posted 14 January, 2012 Well done Saints...Jos played well as did Connolly..... Our midfield three Cork, Morgan and Hammond all in good form...

SaintBobby Posted 14 January, 2012 Share Posted 14 January, 2012 Looking at the table it is very tight. Boro are a strange team and I wonder about Hull coming up on the rails like Brum. Why are you worried about these teams when you think we're going to finish 17th? Boro and Hull will be miles clear of lower mid-table - you need to be keeping an eye on the Watfords and Peterboroughs. Are you still predicting one win, one draw and 18 defeats from the next 20 league games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
