captainchris Posted 4 February, 2012 Posted 4 February, 2012 I wonder what fox's pass completion rate is? 10% ?
Cascadia Saint Posted 4 February, 2012 Posted 4 February, 2012 Stream just died for me, this is another just in case: http://mypremium.tv/em/31/s1.shtml
Sheaf Saint Posted 4 February, 2012 Posted 4 February, 2012 Conolly has been completely ineffective so far, yet again some poor control breaks down what could have been a promising opening. Get Sharp on at HT I reckon.
Dr Who? Posted 4 February, 2012 Posted 4 February, 2012 I wonder what fox's pass completion rate is? As a percentage or a fraction?
Cascadia Saint Posted 4 February, 2012 Posted 4 February, 2012 Does it keep freezing? They turned off the under soil heating...
Saint Without a Halo Posted 4 February, 2012 Posted 4 February, 2012 0-0 first half Sharp time 2nd half methinks
Ohio Saint Posted 4 February, 2012 Posted 4 February, 2012 Very very pleased with things so far. Now let's get a goal in the second half please!
skintsaint Posted 4 February, 2012 Posted 4 February, 2012 decent half...havent created a chance tho which is worrying.
bpsaint Posted 4 February, 2012 Posted 4 February, 2012 Good half, think we've been much the better side, just need to create some chances.
Under Weststand Posted 4 February, 2012 Posted 4 February, 2012 Well its here for the taking, can we get the final ball right 2nd half? Sharp on for Connolly 2nd half.
Dr Who? Posted 4 February, 2012 Posted 4 February, 2012 Conditions no worse than when the game started, so no reason to call it off. Ref looked a little cold! Well played saints!
Ohio Saint Posted 4 February, 2012 Posted 4 February, 2012 Very very pleased with things so far. Now let's get a goal in the second half please! All we need is an idea in front of goal.
Saint Without a Halo Posted 4 February, 2012 Posted 4 February, 2012 (edited) We had the best of a chanceless game so far our possession has been much more assured than theirs we need an end product though! Edited 4 February, 2012 by Saint Without a Halo
Suhari Posted 4 February, 2012 Posted 4 February, 2012 Sharpe for Connelly 2nd half? Yep. He's more powerful and dynamic; think he could make a difference.
Ash Posted 4 February, 2012 Posted 4 February, 2012 I working Link please.. http://www.vipbox.tv/watch/31081/1/birmingham-city-vs-southampton-live-stream-online.html
saint_jas Posted 4 February, 2012 Posted 4 February, 2012 Nice to see we are still trying to play the passing game, good half for us.
MOSaint Posted 4 February, 2012 Posted 4 February, 2012 Good 1st half even if we've not carried an attacking threat. Connolly needs to be subbed though, everything breaks down once he is brought into play.
SOTONS EAST SIDE Posted 4 February, 2012 Author Posted 4 February, 2012 Good half considering. But it feels like we're going to dominate possession, create little, pass well despite the snow, then lose 1-0 to a rubbish goal late on! Despite dominating I'd still rather it was called off.We still have a new ace up our sleeve in Billy Sharp! Time too come on(2nd half) and make yourself a hero son.
DG Posted 4 February, 2012 Posted 4 February, 2012 Weathered the early storm, got back Into it but no decent chances. One mistake/lapse of concentration will win this.
ericofarabia Posted 4 February, 2012 Posted 4 February, 2012 We've dominated so far- touble is not much room for improvement, where as Brum must get better at some stage. We need to get an early 2nd half goal that our performance deserves. Guly or Sharp on for DC? The close short give and takes seem more effective than the running of DC or Lambo - lots of offsides. = Guly on?
saintant Posted 4 February, 2012 Posted 4 February, 2012 If Adkins wants to take the three points he'll have the balls to replace Connolly with Sharp at half time. We have dominated the match, passed the ball well but are lacking a cutting edge and someone with real presence high up the pitch. just don't think Adkins will have the balls to take the decision.
S-Clarke Posted 4 February, 2012 Posted 4 February, 2012 We've adapted better, but haven't offered anything in the final third. Nice and tidy in the middle, but no punch (excuse the pun). Need to sharpen up our corners as well, because they have been awful today. Fox has probably been our weakest link in terms of ball retention. but overall more than satisfied at the mo, we just need to be a bit more Sharp in and around the final third.
T.REX Posted 4 February, 2012 Posted 4 February, 2012 Decent first half from Saints considering the conditions, keep playing like that and the chances will come. We're doing the basics right at the moment, moving the ball well and showing good movement. Hopefully a cameo from Sharp in the second half.
stockportsaint Posted 4 February, 2012 Posted 4 February, 2012 is it worth it if we lose lambert or someone to a broken leg? this game would not be on if it wasn't on TV. this. Even on tv its almost unwatchable. Saints should be in yellow, the red n white shirts blend into the snow. The yellow ball keeps disappearing, and most of the pitch markings are now covered in snow and invisible. Come on Mr Dowd and call it off, and rearrange it for Feb 28th as I'm working in Brum that week.
ericofarabia Posted 4 February, 2012 Posted 4 February, 2012 Very very pleased with things so far. Now let's get a goal in the second half please! Hey Bubba - is Mrs E oA there - she mentioned that she was hoping for a couple of inches tonight!!
Saint Scott Posted 4 February, 2012 Posted 4 February, 2012 We really are playing some nice football considering the conditions. Brum don't seem to be able to cope and are resorting to route 1 stuff which fonte and martin are tidying up exceptionally well. Lallana and Punch are the key here seem to be able to turn with ease. Like others have said we need more shots. I think Sharp for DC soon he looks a little flat and keeps getting ruled offside. We can win this! COYRS!

Ohio Saint Posted 4 February, 2012 Posted 4 February, 2012 Hey Bubba - is Mrs E oA there - she mentioned that she was hoping for a couple of inches tonight!! She only wants the tip then? Nah, you are right, that would be the whole thing.
rshephard3 Posted 4 February, 2012 Posted 4 February, 2012 We've adapted better, but haven't offered anything in the final third. Nice and tidy in the middle, but no punch (excuse the pun). Need to sharpen up our corners as well, because they have been awful today. Fox has probably been our weakest link in terms of ball retention. but overall more than satisfied at the mo, we just need to be a bit more Sharp in and around the final third. This exactly. Fox has been the only player to consistently fail to maintain the ball which means 9 of 10 outfielders are coping superbly. We're a quicker passing team with better controllers of the ball than birmingham and it's showed for 45 mins. Need to create more though as hard as the conditions are. Brum could grab one against the run of play and take the 3 points. They have an excellent home record to be fair. COYR.. Pull something out 2nd half!
Cabrone Posted 4 February, 2012 Posted 4 February, 2012 We've played the conditions the best but we need to get more direct. Would like to see us play more down the middle, get the ball to Adam and Jason and get them to take it into the box a lot more. Brum have 2 great CHs but they pretty tall and in these conditions their high centre of gravity needs to be exploited. Would also like to see Billy on at half time for DC. From what I've seen I think we could nick it tonight.
Saintjersey Posted 4 February, 2012 Posted 4 February, 2012 Good first half, Sharp to come on and score the winner.
Ohio Saint Posted 4 February, 2012 Posted 4 February, 2012 Why all the talk of calling this game off? What is this? Cricket?
SO16_Saint Posted 4 February, 2012 Posted 4 February, 2012 http://mypremium.tv/em/31/s1.shtml (sky) http://mypremium.tv/em/31/s2.shtml (sky) http://mypremium.tv/em/31/s4.shtml (sky - not widescreen) http://extremegoal10.blogspot.com/p/ch2.html (fox soccer plus) http://sj-energys.blogspot.com/2009/08/channel-5.html (not sure, no half time commentary, just picture of them sweeping the ground) Any that will work on iPhone??
saints-cris Posted 4 February, 2012 Posted 4 February, 2012 Decent first half.. showed who can play the better football. Keep Burke out the game, and surround their front 2. We can win this, just got to get that goal
Saint Without a Halo Posted 4 February, 2012 Posted 4 February, 2012 It will come and the pace of Sharp will count
ericofarabia Posted 4 February, 2012 Posted 4 February, 2012 She only wants the tip then? Nah, you are right, that would be the whole thing. Especially in those temps!! HT sub here Fullers Winter Ale off (Run out) .... back to Old Specky Do you name your Home Brew? - after nuns, football or sneaky fags.
CanadaSaint Posted 4 February, 2012 Posted 4 February, 2012 Yes, we need to score while we're on top (an ongoing problem for us) but the game confirms for me that we're the best team in the division. That's the division's in-form team that we're really dominating - on their on ground. We have skill and inventiveness, and we use the full width of the pitch. All we're really lacking is the final pass, but we've got plenty on the bench and I'd like to see how they deal with Sharp in their box.
Suhari Posted 4 February, 2012 Posted 4 February, 2012 Who was that walking back to the dugout with the Brum manager? Looked like a proper mong!
Dr Who? Posted 4 February, 2012 Posted 4 February, 2012 Same again, but let's try and work the keeper this half.
Under Weststand Posted 4 February, 2012 Posted 4 February, 2012 So here we go again no changes so far. Great save Davis
