Its a fookin rip off and its on telly AND Hull will be loads cheaper a couple of weeks later... But we could beat Leeds and its only up the road. WTF DO I DO!

alehouseboys Posted 26 February, 2012 Share Posted 26 February, 2012 You see, this is a big difference between Saints and West Ham. Our away support numbers are decent but theirs are up there with the best in the country. We're top of the league on the back of a 3-0 success on the road and if we get 1,000 up there (understandable Sky/price) we'll say that's a good turnout. West Ham have a 3,000 allocation for their trip to Elland Road coming up and have sold most already. If it was on Sky I think they'd still have 2,000+ there. We're gonna have to get used to these prices because that will be average if we go up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Michael Posted 26 February, 2012 Share Posted 26 February, 2012 I live in Leeds and I'm still not going. Money so tight at the moment (as it is for everyone) and I simply can't justify paying that price when I could go down the local to watch (and keep very quiet as I do so - The Station in Crossgates is not somewhere to shout your gob off). Will go to Hull a couple of weeks later though as no doubt their prices will be a little more realistic. Bates out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hull treavel is quite cheap if you planned ahead, although 2 days off work.

It continues to amaze me how many don't see what Schneiderlin's role in the team is. He is often used by Adkin's at the base of the diamond to sit in front of Hooiveld and Fonte and provide a screen for the defence. He is a defensive midfielder and is very good at winning the ball in the tackle and starting Saints on the attack with his range of passing.

He is a defensive midfielder and is very good at winning the ball in the tackle and starting Saints on the attack with his range of passing. Agreed, but wouldn't even call them tackles, more interceptions or just nipping the ball off an attackers toe and striding forward with it. I had my doubts about Schneirderlin previously, but he's really stepped up as this season has gone on. Adkins no longer rotates the central 3, Cork and Schneiderlin have made that partnership their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morgan is the most physical of all of our CMs,the fastest and no doubt the dirtiest in times of dire need as well.He's become a midfield enforcer who can pass the ball or take it forward of late.

Hammond just panics and gets the ball away as fast as possible. Yes sometimes it goes to someone who wants/needs it but most the time its a throw in or a useless hoof to the opposition. Morgan has earned his place in the team because he can win the ball, repeatedly. Once he's won the ball he has the ability to do one of several options, including passing to a team member, holding it up to create a break in the opponents play or even running with the ball into space. There is no good reason to drop Morgan now, his fitness will be tested over the run in but his game has expanded way beyond Hammond's and provides something very essential to the team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasoneuelllfanclub Posted 27 February, 2012 Share Posted 27 February, 2012 I was of the opinion that Morgan would have one good game out of 2 or 3 however I will admit he has been playing really well of late. during our current unbeaten run he has played well in all of them which arguably is a big reason why the team is back to winning ways. if a team can get a firm control of the ball in the middle of the park then you stand much greater chance of winning.
