SNSUN Posted 19 August, 2012 Posted 19 August, 2012 I don't think I've ever been happier with losing. Ecstatic with our boys. We still need additions but we were fantastic towards the end.
sussexsaint Posted 19 August, 2012 Posted 19 August, 2012 Incredible display. We are premier league gutted if that costs us the title
hypochondriac Posted 19 August, 2012 Posted 19 August, 2012 So proud. We were amazing. Don't think I've celebrated a goal like I did our second one. I removed my top.
dvaughanwilliams Posted 19 August, 2012 Posted 19 August, 2012 Lots of credit in that performance. Didn't get the spanking most people expected. Hopeful for a result against Wigan at home.
JustMike Posted 19 August, 2012 Author Posted 19 August, 2012 played saints, battled and 2 great goals. Add 2 or 3 players and we have a good team
Avenue Saint Posted 19 August, 2012 Posted 19 August, 2012 Fantastic performance second half! Nothing to fear and unlucky not to get something! Brilliant. Hold your heads up you Saints!
badgerx16 Posted 19 August, 2012 Posted 19 August, 2012 So proud. We were amazing. Don't think I've celebrated a goal like I did our second one. I removed my top. Did you get a yellow card ?
CalneSaint Posted 19 August, 2012 Posted 19 August, 2012 Gave the champions a run for their money.....very very proud
Ohio Saint Posted 19 August, 2012 Posted 19 August, 2012 I'm, massively, massively proud of our display of intent.
The Worm Posted 19 August, 2012 Posted 19 August, 2012 Really happy with the display, if we can get Ramirez in and keep playing like that i don't think we will have any issues with relegation
gaz Posted 19 August, 2012 Posted 19 August, 2012 Good performance from the squad. We looked like a PL side so I'm happy considering we had a lot of players on the pitch from in L1. Something to build on and move forwards once the tough games are done with. We can score in this league and can't wait for the next few matches. Fans were excellent too, 2k travelling fans in good voice on Sky Sports. Well done all.
sfc1976 Posted 19 August, 2012 Posted 19 August, 2012 If only we'd played like we did when we were behind when we were in the lead! Proud of them though.
badgerx16 Posted 19 August, 2012 Posted 19 August, 2012 Fantastic performance second half! Nothing to fear and unlucky not to get something! Brilliant. Hold your heads up you Saints! This
hypochondriac Posted 19 August, 2012 Posted 19 August, 2012 Guky was quality hand up I didn't expect a performance like that from him. Fair play.
Avenue Saint Posted 19 August, 2012 Posted 19 August, 2012 The league will know about us after that performance!
waterlooville saint Posted 19 August, 2012 Posted 19 August, 2012 Great performance this afternoon - keep performing like that and we should be ok this season
Ex Lion Tamer Posted 19 August, 2012 Posted 19 August, 2012 Amazing stuff, brilliant performance. We need more quality but plenty to be positive about
Dr. Kucho Posted 19 August, 2012 Posted 19 August, 2012 We were ace! I am so proud of all the players, shame we lost due to little defensive error. But most of all WE ARE BACK!
doubleonothing Posted 19 August, 2012 Posted 19 August, 2012 I said before the game I'd be happy if we kept it to less that a 4 goal margin. If you'd have offered me this before I would have taken it. Can't help feeling like we were slightly robbed of a point. Really thought we deserved a point from that. But we can build on that!! Great performance from the boys. Very proud.
Jimmy_D Posted 19 August, 2012 Posted 19 August, 2012 Bloody TV Curse, we never win on the first day of the season, etc. ect. THAT, was a bloody good game. I think I'm going to enjoy this season
dubai_phil Posted 19 August, 2012 Posted 19 August, 2012 Very proud of the boys. Scared the bejeezus out of them. What a Rickie.moment Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
obelisk Posted 19 August, 2012 Posted 19 August, 2012 Played, Saints! More of that this season and it'll be fun.
Yate Saint Posted 19 August, 2012 Posted 19 August, 2012 Great display. Looking forward to this season now. A few more additions and we'll be just fine.
scotty Posted 19 August, 2012 Posted 19 August, 2012 Terrific performance. I feel better about the season now, if we can play like that against the best team in the country we have nothing to fear from the rest of it.
Avenue Saint Posted 19 August, 2012 Posted 19 August, 2012 Ricky Lambert will score goals in this league. No doubt about it. Davis came on and our midfield looked STRONG... Never been happier after a defeat!
skintsaint Posted 19 August, 2012 Posted 19 August, 2012 Great display, let's hope we can follow it up against Wigan. City scorers cost 70m at least, ours 1m or so. Wasn't too much in it in the end. Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
St Chalet Posted 19 August, 2012 Posted 19 August, 2012 We did very well. In a way we are in a much better place than other Prem teams, we can attack and retain the ball. The easier thing should be to do the defensive basics well, which ultimately cost us today. With the exception of Fox, who I think we should replace, the personnel look ok. We need to look our defensive lines and positioning at set pieces.
Mouldy Coat Posted 19 August, 2012 Posted 19 August, 2012 Adkins got tactics spot on, take that performance against lesser teams (17!) we will do well
VectisSaint Posted 19 August, 2012 Posted 19 August, 2012 We're 14th in the table. As we were this morning, so a good day really.
Thedelldays Posted 19 August, 2012 Posted 19 August, 2012 well, that was a brilliant effort....fair play to adkins....kept going for it and what a goal by Sir Ricky Lambert even at the end we kept going forward.. everyone one of the players did themselves very proud
CanadaSaint Posted 19 August, 2012 Posted 19 August, 2012 As I said on the pre-match thread, it's just as well that there's a lot more spine in the dressing room than there is on here. And we played football.
gaz Posted 19 August, 2012 Posted 19 August, 2012 Very proud of the boys. Scared the bejeezus out of them. What a Rickie.moment Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2 Rickie's had a lot of moments with us, that was one of his best. Was it his first touch in the PL?
mulletsaint Posted 19 August, 2012 Posted 19 August, 2012 By the way, has anyone noticed that Guly in the free role is giving them all sorts of trouble. TBH I think he's great there. Really proud, pity it was a individual mistake that led to the winner. Lambo made such a difference when he came on. He may not be the most mobile but our build up play relies on him so much. Couple of brilliant goals, and I have a strange feeling of disappointment when I'd have taken that score line before kick off. Most disappointed with Morgan, thought the game passed him by at times and caught too high up the pitch a couple of times and too slow to make amends.
Winchester Red Posted 19 August, 2012 Posted 19 August, 2012 We did very well. In a way we are in a much better place than other Prem teams, we can attack and retain the ball.

itchen_dan Posted 19 August, 2012 Posted 19 August, 2012 So so proud! Over the moon! Never been so happy and chuffed after a defeat!! Bring on the rest of the season! It's gonna be a hell of a ride!
Saint for ever Posted 19 August, 2012 Posted 19 August, 2012 Valiant effort Saints. Now lets get the 3 points against Wigan.
washsaint Posted 19 August, 2012 Posted 19 August, 2012 So proud of Saints........if we play like that all season and with a couple of additions we should be looking at a top 10 finish. Fox is a worry at LB (does not look Prem quality) but if we can get Ramirez, Phillips and a CB we will be looking really good. Clyne looks a steal and Adam was pulling all the strings. On Fox Soccer in the US, that plank Warren barton and co were talking about City can't play like that, they won't win the title, etc, etc and then Eric Wynalda butted in and said they were not giving Saints anywhere near enough credit. Good for you Eric.
markr27 Posted 19 August, 2012 Posted 19 August, 2012 Almost feels like a victory - in that Saints proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that they can mix it with the best, despite fears of a mauling.
St Mikie Posted 19 August, 2012 Posted 19 August, 2012 Adkins got tactics spot on, take that performance against lesser teams (17!) we will do well Agreed!
BILLY Posted 19 August, 2012 Posted 19 August, 2012 Proud to be a Saint - Well done Saints n the team. Play like that all season and will be OK. Ramirez will walk on glass to sign for us now! I hope.
mulletsaint Posted 19 August, 2012 Posted 19 August, 2012 Rickie's had a lot of moments with us, that was one of his best. Was it his first touch in the PL? Nah, he was also involved in the build up.
saints-cris Posted 19 August, 2012 Posted 19 August, 2012 Absolutely delighted with how we played, as happy with a loss as I'll ever be. The champions were glad to hear the final whistle go ! Brilliant performance, went mad for those goals, was worth it for those moments alone.
