Katalinic Posted 21 April, 2012 Posted 21 April, 2012 We don't defend second ball on the edge of the area at all well. FFS.
CanadaSaint Posted 21 April, 2012 Posted 21 April, 2012 The D is one of the most lethal places in the game - many a bad bounce or half-clearance ends up there. We seldom attack it well and we certainly don't defend it well.
Crab Lungs Posted 21 April, 2012 Posted 21 April, 2012 Bailey shouldn't even be on the pitch after elbowing Cork
Amazing Hangover Posted 21 April, 2012 Posted 21 April, 2012 YETAFUGKINGGAIN when will this sink home? Yet again a free hit at the edge of the penalty area.
Katalinic Posted 21 April, 2012 Posted 21 April, 2012 They have to win so I guess the longer it stays 1-1 the more risks they will have to take - hopefully pick them off on the break.
Avenue Saint Posted 21 April, 2012 Posted 21 April, 2012 Bring Morgan on! Their runners picking up second ball too easily in midfield! Chaplow looks a different player to one before injury! Hammond, isnt very good. Butterfield good going forward, ****e at the back.
obelisk Posted 21 April, 2012 Posted 21 April, 2012 Maybe we scored too early. It seemed to wake 'boro up.
obelisk Posted 21 April, 2012 Posted 21 April, 2012 Chappers had a couple of good chances. Just how many do Saints concede at the end of each half?
suewhistle Posted 21 April, 2012 Posted 21 April, 2012 Bloomin 'eck. Two bottles first half. One for half time.. Even the team look nervous today, I thought. Normally it's just us.... Cazzo!
Cascadia Saint Posted 21 April, 2012 Posted 21 April, 2012 Chappers is getting in decent positions, he is just in DIRE need of a goal.
MOSaint Posted 21 April, 2012 Posted 21 April, 2012 We've not been good at all since we scored, Boro are doing a good job pressing us and forcing us into long ball rubbish. On the other hand, we are standing off and giving them far too much space to play and take shots from the edge of the box, which is pretty much all they're doing. Still think we'll pick up second half.
Monk Posted 21 April, 2012 Posted 21 April, 2012 Do not change anything. Chaplow's energy is a positive, shame he has no Frazer as a forward outlet. We can win this.
the saint in winchester Posted 21 April, 2012 Posted 21 April, 2012 they're better than us first half. C'mon, Nige, wake them up. We don;t have a divine right to win this today. Need to puff our chests out, dig deep, control the controllables etc.
Kingsbridge Saint Posted 21 April, 2012 Posted 21 April, 2012 Hammond is mostly on the back foot moving like a glacier. Giving his man way too much room and always on the edge of another suicidal pass or just losing the ball. Get Morgan on I reckon.
Avenue Saint Posted 21 April, 2012 Posted 21 April, 2012 Do not change anything. Chaplow's energy is a positive, shame he has no Frazer as a forward outlet. We can win this. Morgan on for Hammond.
Cascadia Saint Posted 21 April, 2012 Posted 21 April, 2012 Think it's time for the nuns to get actively involved. On for Chaplow, maybe?
Stepgar Posted 21 April, 2012 Posted 21 April, 2012 Bring Morgan on! Their runners picking up second ball too easily in midfield! Chaplow looks a different player to one before injury! Hammond, isnt very good. Butterfield good going forward, ****e at the back. You gotta be kidding......butters is **** end of. He had a brilliant opportunity to go down the line and collect a pass and didn't and his balls out have been shocking. Take off the funny specs!
SaintBobby Posted 21 April, 2012 Posted 21 April, 2012 Boro have to win. If it stays level, they will gamble everything in the last few mins (and maybe before), so I hope there's a Plan B to counter attack. But I'm not sure what it is....
MOSaint Posted 21 April, 2012 Posted 21 April, 2012 Chaplow should have closed down Bailey for the goal there.
Avenue Saint Posted 21 April, 2012 Posted 21 April, 2012 You gotta be kidding......butters is **** end of. He had a brilliant opportunity to go down the line and collect a pass and didn't and his balls out have been shocking. Take off the funny specs! He picks a pass out doesn't he? ....just never to shteeeeve!
James Posted 21 April, 2012 Posted 21 April, 2012 Morgan should be on if he's fit enough. Hammond is poor today.
Avenue Saint Posted 21 April, 2012 Posted 21 April, 2012 Chaplow should have closed down Bailey for the goal there. He tried, just deflected it away from Kelv unfortunately!
sussexsaint Posted 21 April, 2012 Posted 21 April, 2012 How the hell can I cope with another 45 minutes! Time for a Stella I think
adrian lord Posted 21 April, 2012 Posted 21 April, 2012 We are bloody fortunate not to be 2-1 or 3-1 down TBH
Window Cleaner Posted 21 April, 2012 Posted 21 April, 2012 what ,I stopped watching 30 secs before the end of the half and they've scored WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
CanadaSaint Posted 21 April, 2012 Posted 21 April, 2012 Morgan should be on if he's fit enough. Hammond is poor today. Defending the D on the edge of the box is normally the responsibility of the centre midfielder who plays in front of the back four. We've conceded goals from the D in three of the last four games - all of them when Schneiderlin was off the pitch and Hammond on it. Coincidence? I suspect not.
saintds Posted 21 April, 2012 Posted 21 April, 2012 I fancy Billy to score another. He looks up for it today and is improving with every game.
T.REX Posted 21 April, 2012 Posted 21 April, 2012 Boro are playing the classic way against saints - pressing us high up the pitch, trying to break our rhythm, crowding davis on corners etc. Don't think we've responded badly to the challenge apart from that 10 minute spell after the goal. Hopefully shooting towards the saints crowd can galvanise the players. Actually think chaplow's been quite good and i'm not usually a big fan - find his first touch (or lack of) frustrating.
Colinjb Posted 21 April, 2012 Posted 21 April, 2012 3 Sainta fans here in Malta believing hat the second half will see us through. We CAN do this! Come on Saints!!!
sussexsaint Posted 21 April, 2012 Posted 21 April, 2012 We are bloody fortunate not to be 2-1 or 3-1 down TBH Behave! Lamberts was wrongly ruled outweigh should be 2-1 up
suewhistle Posted 21 April, 2012 Posted 21 April, 2012 what ,I stopped watching 30 secs before the end of the half and they've scored WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was worse watching on my stream: sound was 30 seconds before visuals...

sussexsaint Posted 21 April, 2012 Posted 21 April, 2012 what ,I stopped watching 30 secs before the end of the half and they've scored WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Don't do that again then
sussexsaint Posted 21 April, 2012 Posted 21 April, 2012 Listen, Together As One, Control The Controllables, Sun Tzu - Art Of War. Agree apart from together as one that reminds me of that Pompey ****
sussexsaint Posted 21 April, 2012 Posted 21 April, 2012 The more of their defence on yellows the better
