OttawaSaint Posted 25 August, 2012 Posted 25 August, 2012 Quiet in here today! Saints passing it around nicely, a couple of times players were guilty of holding on to the ball too long. Guly playing well but needed to play the killer pass to JRod in that move that saw Fox get hurt. A bit more incisiveness and we could get 3 points, saying that this game is a bit of a banana skin and Wigan are very capable of scoring against the run of play...
Dr. Kucho Posted 25 August, 2012 Posted 25 August, 2012 Decent first half, Lallana, Guly, Clyne and Schneiderlin looking good. Defence are standing well and the midfield look strong playing the ball around, link up to the attack needs to improve.
Saints Fan Dan Posted 25 August, 2012 Posted 25 August, 2012 Worried that they can catch us on the break. Having said that we do get back well when Wigan go forward.
BotleySaint Posted 25 August, 2012 Posted 25 August, 2012 Agreed. We have defended well in what we've had to do. Some good blocking etc. Having said that we do get back well when Wigan go forward.
Ohio Saint Posted 25 August, 2012 Posted 25 August, 2012 If we can get some penetration we will be sorted. If not, a break from them could undo us. Second half will be interesting.
opthomps Posted 25 August, 2012 Posted 25 August, 2012 not exactly game of the century. clyne never fails to impress. guly looks all fingers and thumbs. and i'm watching it on some dodgy norwegian stream, which doesn't help matters
JoeShmoe Posted 25 August, 2012 Posted 25 August, 2012 Poor first half, we badly lack a cutting edge or a link player in the final third
Bananaman Posted 25 August, 2012 Posted 25 August, 2012 Guly has been very good for me, couple of poor touches but has caused them problems.
BotleySaint Posted 25 August, 2012 Posted 25 August, 2012 Sounds like Guly needs his own match thread..
Ohio Saint Posted 25 August, 2012 Posted 25 August, 2012 Guly is fine. Saints just look more afraid of losing that worrying about winning at the moment.
Ohio Saint Posted 25 August, 2012 Posted 25 August, 2012 Hopefully a good talking will sort them out for the second half.
ToreSF Posted 25 August, 2012 Posted 25 August, 2012 Well organized in defense. Struggled in the last third of the attack. We need more pace up front, as we already knew.
doubleonothing Posted 25 August, 2012 Posted 25 August, 2012 Ah discussing the lack of red and whites stripes on the stream I've got on. Still doesnt feel like I'm watching saints in the new kit.
St.Patrik Posted 25 August, 2012 Posted 25 August, 2012 Great pass but poor defending by Jos and Fox.....
doubleonothing Posted 25 August, 2012 Posted 25 August, 2012 “@officialsaints: GOAL: SAINTS 0-1 WIGAN (DI SANTO 51) #saintsfc” Against the run of play. We were looking the more likely to score. Had chances at the other end.
wadesmith Posted 25 August, 2012 Posted 25 August, 2012 Hants through to the T20 final by the way. Not quite still need to get 108 runs..but the probably will be.
St.Patrik Posted 25 August, 2012 Posted 25 August, 2012 What the Hell is Joos doing ? Hurry up Nigel and get some defenders in.
BotleySaint Posted 25 August, 2012 Posted 25 August, 2012 Feels bad. But that's because we've gotten used to winning in recent seasons. It isn't over yet!
OttawaSaint Posted 25 August, 2012 Posted 25 August, 2012 Hmmm, their goalie is stopping our chances, our goalie didn't stop their only chance. I like Davis but he is out of his depth in the prem (IMO)...
Thedelldays Posted 25 August, 2012 Posted 25 August, 2012 to all those that say the prem is average......this lot are one of the worst in the league last season yet can still be dangerous given a chance
BotleySaint Posted 25 August, 2012 Posted 25 August, 2012 The shot was from close range. He didn't stand much of a chance! I like Davis but he is out of his depth in the prem (IMO)...
doubleonothing Posted 25 August, 2012 Posted 25 August, 2012 What the Hell is Joos doing ? Hurry up Nigel and get some defenders in. If he doesn't get prem standard CB's in it is seriously going to cost us this season
Jonnyboy Posted 25 August, 2012 Posted 25 August, 2012 to all those that say the prem is average......this lot are one of the worst in the league last season yet can still be dangerous given a chance tbf they did have a blinding finish...
Super_Saint Posted 25 August, 2012 Posted 25 August, 2012 Hmmm, their goalie is stopping our chances, our goalie didn't stop their only chance. I like Davis but he is out of his depth in the prem (IMO)... It was a great finish ffs. Most keepers wouldn't have saved that.
St.Patrik Posted 25 August, 2012 Posted 25 August, 2012 Davis wouldn´t have saved that for his life but it was a great shoot to be honest - but the defence was not doing their job - never heard of a offside trap guys?
Viking Warrior Posted 25 August, 2012 Posted 25 August, 2012 Come on saints win this game . I need cheering up . It's been chucking it down here in Aberdeen and waiting to board the ferry back to Orkney . Come on saints score some goals . Whose our subs to day
Thedelldays Posted 25 August, 2012 Posted 25 August, 2012 lets just wait for the usual poster to go into some sort of personal breakdown over this
doubleonothing Posted 25 August, 2012 Posted 25 August, 2012 “@SimonPeach: I see reports that St Mary's is "half empty". Attendance is around 30,000 so not quite... #PAsoccer”
DG Posted 25 August, 2012 Posted 25 August, 2012 Knew i shouldn't have included us in today's accumulator.
doubleonothing Posted 25 August, 2012 Posted 25 August, 2012 Knew i shouldn't have included us in today's accumulator. This
Avenue Saint Posted 25 August, 2012 Posted 25 August, 2012 A defeat today might be a blessing in disguise. Might spur on the transfer activity!
Viking Warrior Posted 25 August, 2012 Posted 25 August, 2012 At this rate we will only have 30secs worth of footage on match of the day .
BotleySaint Posted 25 August, 2012 Posted 25 August, 2012 Wigan look pretty comfortable. Not sure what we can do to break them down.
OttawaSaint Posted 25 August, 2012 Posted 25 August, 2012 Not really sure why we spent 7m on Jrod to play him out of position, totally ineffective where he is...
