St Chalet Posted 31 January, 2012 Share Posted 31 January, 2012 (edited) Good result in the end I think. With WHU getting spanked we retain 2nd with a big game Saturday. Edited 31 January, 2012 by St Chalet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trousers Posted 31 January, 2012 Share Posted 31 January, 2012 1 point and 4 goals gained on the leaders with Sharp to come in. Could be worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colinjb Posted 31 January, 2012 Share Posted 31 January, 2012 That second half sounded much more like it. A good night, no element of a missed opportunity with Wham capitulating, that second half sounded stunning and I would have taken a point at the start.

SOTONS EAST SIDE Posted 31 January, 2012 Share Posted 31 January, 2012 (edited) Good point! Should have been 3 with more luck!! And i hope Waste Hams 5-1 defeat leaves them shell shocked!!! Edited 31 January, 2012 by SOTONS EAST SIDE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint_Jonny Posted 31 January, 2012 Share Posted 31 January, 2012 oooo errrrr dunno what to think about that! Gutted we couldn't take advantage of WHAM getting absolutely SMASHED (See what I did there?) Brum on Saturday will only be tougher than today.

Lazlo78 Posted 31 January, 2012 Share Posted 31 January, 2012 Excactly the kind of response I was looking for - all we needed was a winner to make the evening perfect. West Ham losing, Cardiff not winning and the team visibly gaining confidence will be the major takeaway... Now I need to lie down and get my pulse back to normal - phew!...

Sheaf Saint Posted 31 January, 2012 Share Posted 31 January, 2012 Would have taken a draw at half time, but given the frantic ending it's disappointing we couldn't find a winner. Still top two and still above Cardiff, West Ham getting tonked at Ipswich so not all bad really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalek2003 Posted 31 January, 2012 Share Posted 31 January, 2012 A very good draw and could have been a win. Brum will be a real test. We are in the mix and so are about 10 teams. What a league. WHAM ?????what happened ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Alert Posted 31 January, 2012 Share Posted 31 January, 2012 Unlucky, sounded very promising in the second half. Got to be happy with a point though given the way we have been playing recently. Also West Ham getting battered is no bad thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintsAhoy Posted 31 January, 2012 Share Posted 31 January, 2012 We were poor in the first half but sounded like we applied a lot of pressure in the second.

Minty Posted 31 January, 2012 Share Posted 31 January, 2012 The match - not losing to your promotion rivals is never a *bad* result... shame we couldn't win it but after out last two home games, good to see some fight back. The league - A point gained over West Ham, and only Birmingham gain on us from below. Net result is no real change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
student Posted 31 January, 2012 Share Posted 31 January, 2012 Great result really, not losing it will the team a world of good. With reinforcements to come its looking positive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saints Mad Si Posted 31 January, 2012 Share Posted 31 January, 2012 I class this as a point gained tonight! WHU losing and us down at half time. Well done lads sounds like a good performance second half. Coyr. Keep the faith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micky Posted 31 January, 2012 Share Posted 31 January, 2012 Bit p i s s e d off, really could have done with getting the 3 points today - another chance to capitalise on a rivals poor performance missed. But, give that we came from behind, sounded like we had a good second half - guess I'll have to be happy with a point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DG Posted 31 January, 2012 Share Posted 31 January, 2012 Ok with West Ham losing by so many, two tough games to come. Would have taken a point at the start, it would be typical Saints to draw home and win a difficult away game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DT Posted 31 January, 2012 Share Posted 31 January, 2012 Good point which in fact saves five off Cardiff (in effect). Sort of. West Ham result is hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smirking_Saint Posted 31 January, 2012 Share Posted 31 January, 2012 Well, WHU get a caining, may damage some morale, we come back from going 1 down and from what I was listening too were all over Cardiff. We had 2 pen shouts turned down, didn't lose to one of the most inform Championship teams who scored a goal that could have been a foul. Not a bad show considering we have Sharp to come in.

farawaysaint Posted 31 January, 2012 Share Posted 31 January, 2012 I was all ready to become Dalek after the first half but I'm happy with that. We won't play a better team than Cardiff for the remainder of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viking Warrior Posted 31 January, 2012 Share Posted 31 January, 2012 I was worried about this game but I listening I didnt think we would lose. Its stopped the rot. Cardiff have been playing well. Great result by ipswich . We are in the ascendancy. It sounded like we are on the up. We have now a very strong team they just need to play together to understand each other again Well done saints.

forever a red and white Posted 31 January, 2012 Share Posted 31 January, 2012 and breathe..! Thank god. Was very nervous throughout the whole game. Glad we got a point and its another one out the way. Another draw at Brum would be great and WHU gd taken a battering too. Very good point. Connolly sounds so off the pace atm, make way for Billy Sharp and get Barny back on the bench please! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jawillwill Posted 31 January, 2012 Share Posted 31 January, 2012 I more concerned about Birmingham than I am about West Ham now to be honest... OK result though I suppose. Really need to push on and get back to winning ways again soon though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWD Posted 31 January, 2012 Share Posted 31 January, 2012 We need to get back to the sort of form we had before November. Decent result tonight, but Brum away on saturday is an even tougher test. I still believe we can finish top 2 but improvement needed for sure. Come on Saints Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpine_saint Posted 31 January, 2012 Share Posted 31 January, 2012 Hopefully the 2nd half performance will give the team the shot of confidence they needed. This was always going to be a tough, tough game, and they came through it well. We also gained on the leaders. Saturday probably is a season-defining game. Win against the in-form team of the league and we'll have our mojo back and will be unstoppable. Lose, well, I think we will be looking at the play-offs in that case.

Dig Dig Posted 31 January, 2012 Share Posted 31 January, 2012 Important not to lose to those around us at the top. Any team in the mix at this stage would take a point against a close rival.

Glad to see you being positive tonight - but god forbid anything less than a win at Brum against THE form team of the league can't be viewed as a bad result per se - Donny, Bristol C x 2, Leicester H, were bad results, but a win at Brum would be an amazing result.

dvaughanwilliams Posted 31 January, 2012 Share Posted 31 January, 2012 Would like to hear from someone who was in the Chapel about the Cardiff goal. From my seat I had a poor view, but the players were clearly unhappy. We had 2 very good penalty shouts turned down, the foul on Rickie Lambert was a hack down from behind and I was apoplectic that the ref didn't give it. With all the pressure in the second half, we didn't deserve to not win that. Puncheon looked good, was working hard for the team and will improve. Tadanari Lee created panic in their defence, constantly looking to make the run in behind and when the players around him are looking to pick out those runs he will be very successful. Lots of positives from the game. Looked a lot closer to the team from the beginning of the season than the past couple of games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
