sfc1971 Posted 31 January, 2012 Posted 31 January, 2012 (edited) He no werry good, No better than Connolly, Guly or Barney. Edited 31 January, 2012 by sfc1971
S-Clarke Posted 31 January, 2012 Posted 31 January, 2012 errr ok then. I don't get fans like you, no perspective on anything and everything is decided on snap points. I.e one game, one defeat, one performance. He was actually pretty lively. Get a grip.
SuperMikey Posted 31 January, 2012 Posted 31 January, 2012 Didn't see much of the ball tonight, give him time. He needs to settle into the team, our style of play, and most importantly - the country. You can see that his movement is quality anyway, but Cardiff's midfield closed off any channels for us to pass into him.
Colinjb Posted 31 January, 2012 Posted 31 January, 2012 My Dad's verdict from the game: "Looked lively, nice first touch and got around a bit, I like him." Football is a game of opinions.
Appy Posted 31 January, 2012 Posted 31 January, 2012 I liked him and you can't type. I'd say its about opinions, but yours is wrong.
S-Clarke Posted 31 January, 2012 Posted 31 January, 2012 My Dad's verdict from the game: "Looked lively, nice first touch and got around a bit, I like him." Football is a game of opinions. I'm all for opinions, but basing an extreme opinion like that (based on 30mins) is madness and does my head in. Saw more positive from him than negative today anyway. Lot more to come.
SNSUN Posted 31 January, 2012 Posted 31 January, 2012 I agree. He didn't score a hattrick on his debut, then use his signing on fee to open a children's hospital, so we don't want him at the club. That goes for Sharp too, couldn't even be arsed to play tonight. Sharp and Lee out.
Jack Posted 31 January, 2012 Posted 31 January, 2012 Looks lively, decent first touch, decent pace. And we've managed a decent song for him already. Think he'll be important for us this season
Give it to Ron Posted 31 January, 2012 Posted 31 January, 2012 He no werry good, No better than Connolly or Barney. Amazing.....I thought his running added loads to our play and he linked up well. What exactly did Connolly offer tonight? What has Barnard offered this year?
Saint Fan CaM Posted 31 January, 2012 Posted 31 January, 2012 Utter drivel. He put in a good shift, made a couple of great last minute tackles and almost got a poachers goal. Oh and he's got bags of pace about him. For my money he will only get better with more games, but he should be 3rd in line for a strikers slot IMO.
MOSaint Posted 31 January, 2012 Posted 31 January, 2012 Should start the replay next Tuesday, see what he is capable of from the start.
Cestrian Saint Posted 31 January, 2012 Posted 31 January, 2012 Amazing.....I thought his running added loads to our play and he linked up well. What exactly did Connolly offer tonight? What has Barnard offered this year? Harsh, Barnard's been injured most of the season. Connolly is a different class when he's on form, sadly that hasn't been for quite some time.
Tractor_Saint Posted 31 January, 2012 Posted 31 January, 2012 Very quick, get's the ball, lays it off and then speeds forward looking for a return. Impressed with what I saw. Needs to stay down for a little longer if he gets tackled like that next time. He could have got their player a yellow if he'd done that
Badger Posted 31 January, 2012 Posted 31 January, 2012 give him time. He needs to settle into the team, our style of play, and most importantly - the country. QUOTE] That summarises my view on him,and response to the original post. As for comparisons,Connolly seems only able tp play three games before he needs to be rested,and Barney - not yet fit anyway - is also untried at this level.
Colinjb Posted 31 January, 2012 Posted 31 January, 2012 Very quick, get's the ball, lays it off and then speeds forward looking for a return. Impressed with what I saw. Needs to stay down for a little longer if he gets tackled like that next time. He could have got their player a yellow if he'd done that You are telling me he is a fair sportsman. No, don't take that from him..... Curse my idealism... But I like that!
shirleysfc Posted 31 January, 2012 Posted 31 January, 2012 He was faster than I expected and has a good first touch. Considering the obvious cultural and language barriers I was impressed by this early showing against one of the leagues better teams. Sharp and Lambert will be first choice but I'm more than happy with him as an option off the bench. Will be interesting to see what his finishing is like under pressure.
trousers Posted 31 January, 2012 Posted 31 January, 2012 Damn...I've run out of *facepalms* for the OP
sfc1971 Posted 31 January, 2012 Author Posted 31 January, 2012 errr ok then. I don't get fans like you, no perspective on anything and everything is decided on snap points. I.e one game, one defeat, one performance. He was actually pretty lively. De Ridder, Forte and Ngeussan are also pretty lively, And your point is ? Its just my opinion. I think is just a far east PR Machine Did you notice all the flashy camera men when he came on. Or where they all from Sky Sports ? Get a grip. :rolleyes:
S-Clarke Posted 31 January, 2012 Posted 31 January, 2012 :rolleyes: No, I think it's you that needs the rollyeyes.
Colinjb Posted 31 January, 2012 Posted 31 January, 2012 Leeeee, Leee wherever you may be, We hope you can **** Pom-peeeey....
Colinjb Posted 31 January, 2012 Posted 31 January, 2012 :rolleyes: He who shouts loudest doesn't always shout correctly. Just ask Stuey.
Give it to Ron Posted 31 January, 2012 Posted 31 January, 2012 Harsh, Barnard's been injured most of the season. Connolly is a different class when he's on form, sadly that hasn't been for quite some time. hahahah he criticises somepne based on 30 minutes and you say I am harsh!!!
Under Weststand Posted 31 January, 2012 Posted 31 January, 2012 Lee has only just got over here, he has moved not only to a new country but a totally different culture, give him a chance for god sake. I love the way people right a player off in, what did Lee have about 25/30 mins tonight. And a few minutes Saturday. NA seemed quite happy with his cameo tonight.
K,Billy's supersound Posted 31 January, 2012 Posted 31 January, 2012 i only listened to the game on radio and tbh hardly ever heard conolloy mentioned atall in first half and not much more in the second.when lee came on he sounded more dangerous and impressed both merrington and the comentator. still he has only played 60min football in a new and very tough league with new team mates so lets give him alittle longer shall we.
SO16_Saint Posted 31 January, 2012 Posted 31 January, 2012 Japanese Marian Pahars. Loved it when he got clattered and was down for a short while then jumped up and ran full pelt to the edge of the box. 'just a flesh wound, it's still connected'!
Colinjb Posted 31 January, 2012 Posted 31 January, 2012 Anthony Gerrard gave him a royal welcome and he rolled with the punch. A good sign I feel.
S-Clarke Posted 31 January, 2012 Posted 31 January, 2012 Anthony Gerrard gave him a royal welcome and he rolled with the punch. A good sign I feel. He gave a bit of his own back too which I enjoyed!
bpsaint Posted 31 January, 2012 Posted 31 January, 2012 The guy has come halfway around the world, to a completely different country and culture, to a team full of strangers he is barely able to communicate with, and you're slating him after just 2 substitute appearances!? Jesus wept...
Pat from Poole Posted 31 January, 2012 Posted 31 January, 2012 I thought he looked very promising. Good movement, first touch, bit of pace. Better than I was expecting actually.
shirleysfc Posted 31 January, 2012 Posted 31 January, 2012 He gave a bit of his own back too which I enjoyed! This. Being kicked didn't seem to put him off wanting the ball.
Cascadia Saint Posted 31 January, 2012 Posted 31 January, 2012 He no werry good, No better than Connolly or Barney. Hilarious japanese accent, brilliant! Comedy genius! And to write him off after two short sub appearances, brilliant! Football genius! Give yourself a well deserved facepalm on the back.
Colinjb Posted 31 January, 2012 Posted 31 January, 2012 This. Being kicked didn't seem to put him off wanting the ball. The sterotypes of lightweight asian players will hopefully just be a redundant notion in this case.
Colinjb Posted 31 January, 2012 Posted 31 January, 2012 facepalm on the back. The mechanics of that move are sensational
capitalsaint Posted 31 January, 2012 Posted 31 January, 2012 Connolly was far worse, he got completely marked out of the game. If the OP had bothered to watch, he'd have noticed Lee attempt on a number of occasions to make a run between the centre back and wing back, towards goal. Sadly our midfield and defence didn't pick these runs up, which is understandable considering he is new to the club. I actually thought he was very exciting.
John Boy Saint Posted 31 January, 2012 Posted 31 January, 2012 He gave a bit of his own back too which I enjoyed! I liked he made himself out to be a bit powder puff, a matter of moments later he has cleanly wiped out a player bigger than him. For the first time out he certainly looks like he could be a bit of handful, seems to be intelligent with it............. OP has his maggot in the water waiting for a bit.
Colinjb Posted 31 January, 2012 Posted 31 January, 2012 Informed opinions would be better than countless morons. Please excuse my sensitivity, but I would like you to clarify your feelings on my Dad's opinion in that case.
Roger Posted 31 January, 2012 Posted 31 January, 2012 I've seen Connolly go missing more than I've seen him play well for us. Maybe I've seen the wrong games, but I don't get the praise he gets. Sometimes he looks a good finisher, but he misses some really good chances too, but most of all to me he's just not involved enough. Was surprised he started tonight after the Leicester performance and other options. Would be surprised if we see him again for a while. Lee will probably keep coming off the bench for a while then maybe start v Millwall. Sharp probably straight in, and Guly miles ahead of Connolly. Really makes you wish there were 7 places on the bench again. Guly deserves more respect and for me is better than connolly now.
rocknrollman no2 Posted 31 January, 2012 Posted 31 January, 2012 I thought he showed a lot of pace and linked up well,while making a lot of runs. He can only get better as he learns the English game. In my opinion he has made a great start.
Alwightmush Posted 1 February, 2012 Posted 1 February, 2012 Look at me! Look at me! I'm a moron. Must be hard going to watch something each week you don't understand.

Really makes you wish there were 7 places on the bench again. Connolly put in a hell of a shift at the end of last season for the promotion push. I cant see many Saints fans forgetting that, which is probably why he gets a lot of credit on here.
Jonnyboy Posted 1 February, 2012 Posted 1 February, 2012 He no werry good, No better than Connolly, Guly or Barney. Can we lose this asian accent sh1t? There were others doing it on the match thread. Really lame humour.
jampot Posted 1 February, 2012 Posted 1 February, 2012 Thought he looked good.Decent first touch and knew what to do after laying it off. Nearly scored. Might need a few extra weetabix to build him up a bit though..
Avenue Saint Posted 1 February, 2012 Posted 1 February, 2012 Dear oh dear. The word MORON sprints to mind! I thought he showed a lot of positive signs. Personally reckon this will turn out to be quite a special signing! Well done Tad lad!
hypochondriac Posted 1 February, 2012 Posted 1 February, 2012 Thought he looked decent TBH. Not sure what game some people are watching.
Saint_clark Posted 1 February, 2012 Posted 1 February, 2012 Clear attempt to wind people up, and even if it wasn't there is a match reaction thread and a previous thread on Lee.
