CanadaSaint Posted 31 March, 2012 Share Posted 31 March, 2012 I feel really sorry for the 2,000+ who trecked all the way up there and vastly outperformed the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgehog Posted 31 March, 2012 Share Posted 31 March, 2012 No width, no pace, no Lambert! Perhaps the team after knowing Wham result were not fired up enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Clarke Posted 31 March, 2012 Share Posted 31 March, 2012 Inept, but let's forget about it and move on. Hopefully the players do to, because dwelling on that performance will kill us. It was the worst i've seen us play in a long time, so suprised by that display. Didn't expect that at all. If teams press us and lambert isn't in the team we struggle big time as we have no out ball. Let's hope he's back asap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CWD Posted 31 March, 2012 Author Share Posted 31 March, 2012 My ratings: Davis 6 Butterfield 2 Fonte 5 Hooiveld 4 Fox 3 Lallana 3 Schneiderlin 7 Cork 5 Chaplow 2 (De Ridder 4) Guly 6 Sharp 4 People will point out the positives from today and rightly so, we are still leading the race, 6 points clear of WHam and a really good points return from March. BUT today was completely unacceptable from everyone, bar maybe Morgan and Guly. The players need to be made aware of this, and then we can draw our friend the blue line.

supersonic Posted 31 March, 2012 Share Posted 31 March, 2012 Poor performance. We just didn't turn up, by the time we started playing, we were 3-0 down and it was effectively game over. however, there were some positives, Morgan played well, Lallana looked lively, Sharp played well on his own up front, and I honestly believe that this result is the perfect result. We haven't been playing that well recently, and Claridge summed it up perfectly, with us knowing WH lost, we looked complacent. I hope and think this result will be the kick up the backside that we need. I had this down as our hardest game remaining, and so it proved. The back 4 and Cork were also poor today, we were too far away from their wingers from the 1st minute, I knew that we would have 1 bad game/result and I'm glad it was this week not next week. Hopefully Lambert, Lee and Richardson are fit for next week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint_Jonny Posted 31 March, 2012 Share Posted 31 March, 2012 That was ****ing crap. Did we miss Lambert that much? I'm not sure. I just think we were awful all over the pitch. Sharps penalty was crap, needed to take the keeper out of the equation, he didn't and he was punished. Did the Saints fans boo Guly when he came off or was it the home fans because he won the penalty? He wasn't any worse than any of the other players on the day. You are a c*nt mongy mong mong if you boo a Saints player. Fox was ****. So ****. He was nowhere too often. Total ****. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avenue Saint Posted 31 March, 2012 Share Posted 31 March, 2012 On a POSITIVE note, 1 less game for wet sham to make the ground up!! With lambert, lee and Fraser back, no doubt we will be back to form! Bring on the dirty skates! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beatlesaint Posted 31 March, 2012 Share Posted 31 March, 2012 I cannot think of one single player who came out of that performance with any credit today. Everyone was dreadful and I dont think there has been another instance of that for the past 18 months. I just hope Richardson, Connolly, Lambert and Lee, or at least three of them, are back next week. No width, no pace, no control, no defence just plain awful. A big kick up the backside I hope.

dubai_phil Posted 31 March, 2012 Share Posted 31 March, 2012 It was rubbish. Credit to Holloway for setting his team up, without Lambert to hold the ball up our tactical switches were woefully ineffective. Guly was NOT the only bad player on the pitch today, Lallana, Sharp and Chaplow all were worse IMHO At the end of the day this is all about PL football next season.

jasoneuelllfanclub Posted 31 March, 2012 Share Posted 31 March, 2012 I knew phillips and ince would cause us problems but playing diamond formation was just asking for trouble.

Ewell Posted 31 March, 2012 Share Posted 31 March, 2012 No excuses we were rubbish in every department and it just shows that Lambert is key. Anyone who cannot see that has blinkers on. At least this may put to bed the stupid complacent threads from those thinking we are already up. We have a fight on our hands. **** 2nd place I want top spot so now is the time to show what we are made of. You could not pick a better fixture next week to get a reaction from the players.

ThreeSixty Posted 31 March, 2012 Share Posted 31 March, 2012 Awful performance no doubt about it. Thought Guly did OK. Only player on the pitch who looked like he might score. Sharp spent the whole match offside (and what a dreadful pen). Butterfield was dreadful. A very tough watch. Thank god the skates game aint on TV.

saintant Posted 31 March, 2012 Share Posted 31 March, 2012 Woeful display today and thought we were very poor all over the park. Their two classy wingers Ince and Phillips ran riot down the flanks - would love them in our squad. We looked cumbersome, slow and devoid of ideas. Sharp had a shocker topped off by the penalty miss - he looked yards off the pace and it makes you appreciate just how good Rickie is. Need to get this out of our system quick and put in a good week ahead of the Easter fixture as we certainly can't afford another inept disply like that between now and the end of the season or things are going to get really nervy.

monosaint Posted 31 March, 2012 Share Posted 31 March, 2012 We didm't play well but who knows the outcome had Sharp scored the penalty.. Poor goals in my view. We were not opened up for any of them.

Does losing 1 game preclude us from winning it? I thought being top at the end of the season meant you won the title? Just checked the table - think we were still top... What a strange comment.

Saints Fan Dan Posted 31 March, 2012 Share Posted 31 March, 2012 I wasn't particularly optimistic going into the game but at the same time wasn't expecting that scoreline. Knew it wasn't going to be our day when Sharp missed the penalty, with no Lambert to take the penalty I just thought whoever was going to take it wasn't going to score it. Having said that the team kept on playing, the fans kept on singing and we're still in the best position. Pushing back the KO with the players already knowing results probably didn't help either. Still, I'm pretty relaxed about it, which is probably the positive effect Adkins has on the club in that we don't panic when we lose. Bring on the skates!
