Dr. Kucho Posted 9 October, 2012 Posted 9 October, 2012 After seeing all these negative posts and threads, lets look at the positives of this season so far. For me the positives are: Gazzaniga showing he is a good goalie at a young age. Lambert scoring and giving defenders a hard time in this league Ward-Prowse making the step up to the first team Puncheon showing great form and skill Clyne at right back Schneiderlin being a great PL midfielder.
Nexstar Posted 9 October, 2012 Posted 9 October, 2012 Number 1 should be that after our horrendous fixture set, we are not in the relegation zone.
Saint Charlie Posted 9 October, 2012 Posted 9 October, 2012 We are capable of scoring against every team.

Ramirez looks to be a class player ! Fonte is back to form ! Davis was a great bargain !
raynesparksaint Posted 9 October, 2012 Posted 9 October, 2012 The red kit doesn't look too bad after all?
Cheese on Toast Posted 9 October, 2012 Posted 9 October, 2012 We are capable of scoring against every team. Except Wigan
Saint Garrett Posted 9 October, 2012 Posted 9 October, 2012 The only place we don't have PL quality is left back.
Sour Mash Posted 9 October, 2012 Posted 9 October, 2012 Number 1 should be that after our horrendous fixture set, we are not in the relegation zone. I'm very much in the Pro-Adkins camp, but let's not get too carried away with the "horrendous fixtures" thing - we've had Wigan, Aston Villa and Fulham at home in a batch of 7 games, that's not too bad by Prem standards for picking up points.
S-Clarke Posted 9 October, 2012 Posted 9 October, 2012 We always look like scoring (and do), against anyone.
fanimal Posted 9 October, 2012 Posted 9 October, 2012 We are still trying to play good football and entertaining the paying customer which it is all about.
doddisalegend Posted 9 October, 2012 Posted 9 October, 2012 Our programme sellers are now fit birds we get more column inches in the media Aston villa at home was fun We're still in the Milk cup Rickie is still a legend There's no pressure as everyone expects us to lose Andy Crosby is still here
Shroppie Posted 9 October, 2012 Posted 9 October, 2012 The red kit doesn't look too bad after all? Yes it does.
pingwing Posted 9 October, 2012 Posted 9 October, 2012 We had a good away day out to Stevenage New season ticket card is really useful to carry about We are not managed by arry or fat sam
Saints Fan Dan Posted 9 October, 2012 Posted 9 October, 2012 Being in the PL means we can watch every single match live. We have those cool looking racing car seats in the dugout.
saint lard Posted 9 October, 2012 Posted 9 October, 2012 We always look like scoring (and do), against anyone. We always look like conceding ( and do) against anyone.
S-Clarke Posted 9 October, 2012 Posted 9 October, 2012 We always look like conceding ( and do) against anyone. This is a positive thread, HTH.
Dig Dig Posted 9 October, 2012 Posted 9 October, 2012 This is a positive thread, HTH. It's positive for saint lard because there is more chance of him building his anti NA army when we concede goals. He's like a far right dictator, only appearing during times of crisis, preying on the vulnerable and uneducated.
saint lard Posted 9 October, 2012 Posted 9 October, 2012 This is a positive thread, HTH. will it make 50 posts? some severe padding out and straw clutching needed to do so. we are on match of the day,which is earlier than the football league show.....yep that's a positive.
Window Cleaner Posted 9 October, 2012 Posted 9 October, 2012 we are on match of the day,which is earlier than the football league show.....yep that's a positive. See, you're getting the hang of it.
syd_barrett_saint Posted 9 October, 2012 Posted 9 October, 2012 - Being able to watch every game live on internet streams is fantastic for an overseas fan like myself. - We still have some good players to come into the team/squad who will strengthen us (Lee, Cork, Mayuka, Boruc). - Despite a pretty bad start to the season, there are still 3 worse teams than us!
Alanh Posted 9 October, 2012 Posted 9 October, 2012 For me the biggest positive is that we are scoring regulalry and through a variety of players. You can't win games and get points without scoringso you have no chance of staying up if you are having trouble getting goals. I think it's a positive that our key issue (our defending) is readily identifiable. The majority of our new players have shown that they are better than what they have replaced and can do a job in the Prem. Gazza v Bart, J-Rod v Barnard, Yoshida v Jaidi, Clyne v Richardson, Davis v Hammond. Ramirez looks worth what we spent on him. Mayuka looks exciting and will be a valuable addition to the squad We have home grown young players pushing for starting positions against leading established Prem teams and holing their own when they are on the pitch. We do not have the pressure of being in the relegation zone at present We have a run of fixtures coming up which should give us the opportunity to get our first clean sheet. My guess is it will come at home to Swansea.
Avenue Saint Posted 9 October, 2012 Posted 9 October, 2012 We can hit the onion sack playing anybody, ANYBODY!! Up the saints!
RonManager Posted 9 October, 2012 Posted 9 October, 2012 We can hit the onion sack playing anybody, ANYBODY!! Up the saints! Except Rochdale :lol:
Ziggy Posted 9 October, 2012 Posted 9 October, 2012 I have moved seats to the Kingsland Northam corner where the atmosphere is much better. The fans at the ground are right behind the team and have given a great ovation at the end regardless of the score. At times our football has been superb.
Miltonroader07 Posted 9 October, 2012 Posted 9 October, 2012 It is a great positive that despite obvious issues the fans are still behind the team and mostly behind the manager; we need to really "dig in" as fans and make St Marys a fortress that other teams do not relish playing at as we did at the Dell. IMO

IMO I think if we ran a poll on who we thought was the most obvious skate on a windup on here, I reckon you would come out on top! By the way, how many threads is it you have had closed now in total? Sad.
jasoneuelllfanclub Posted 9 October, 2012 Posted 9 October, 2012 ESPN Goals app NO waiting to stupid o clock to see 10 seconds of highlights No Garth Brooks and Steve Clarridge Taking Man Utd and Man City to the wire.
View From The Top Posted 9 October, 2012 Posted 9 October, 2012 Been noticeable how behind the players and the manager those who actually attend games are.. That's the biggest bonus so far.
Super_Saint Posted 9 October, 2012 Posted 9 October, 2012 Guly hasn't been in the starting line-up. Yoshida looks pretty good. Still have Cork and Lee to come back from injury. Mayuka is beast on Fifa 13
Ohio Saint Posted 9 October, 2012 Posted 9 October, 2012 No match thread nuns any more.......Sorry to go negative.
VectisSaint Posted 9 October, 2012 Posted 9 October, 2012 We are capable of scoring against every team. except Wigan, the worst team we have played so far.
VectisSaint Posted 9 October, 2012 Posted 9 October, 2012 Not in the bottom 3 of the PL Not having to play the Skates or Brighton or Boscombe or Swindon or Rochdale or Barnsley or ... [fill in the blanks] We have found a new home for Tommy 4Past Ramirez looks class SRL has proved any doubters wrong We play exciting football again We have replaced Kelvin and now have 2 keepers who can kick the ball inside the throw-in lines U18s top of their league U21s 3rd in a proper reserve league
sperm_john Posted 9 October, 2012 Posted 9 October, 2012 Other teams aren't doing that well? and... we can clearly play better than we are at the moment!
Winchester Red Posted 9 October, 2012 Posted 9 October, 2012 We're only 10points off champions league
aintforever Posted 9 October, 2012 Posted 9 October, 2012 I think we've started the season OK. Everyone on here is so so predictable, as soon as the fixtures were announced it was obvious we would be in or around the bottom 3 at the start, 4th from bottom is good at this stage.

krissyboy31 Posted 9 October, 2012 Posted 9 October, 2012 I liked playing those teams:( Or Wycombe in the JPT!!
GAS Posted 9 October, 2012 Posted 9 October, 2012 We are in the premier league, wow! And we know how to score goals. Just need to sort out defending, collectively, and bobs your auntie.
paris Posted 10 October, 2012 Posted 10 October, 2012 Being able to see news on SFC without having to search high & low .... Watching games on the box ...
alpine_saint Posted 10 October, 2012 Posted 10 October, 2012 This is a positive thread, HTH. Desperate thread, more like.
paris Posted 10 October, 2012 Posted 10 October, 2012 Nice new seats in the Dug Out .......................
Maggie May Posted 10 October, 2012 Posted 10 October, 2012 I'm very much in the Pro-Adkins camp, but let's not get too carried away with the "horrendous fixtures" thing - we've had Wigan, Aston Villa and Fulham at home in a batch of 7 games, that's not too bad by Prem standards for picking up points. Actually, four points out of Wigan, Villa and Fulham is something I would expect at this level and if we keep that up against teams of a similar calibre I would expect a lower mid-table finish comfortably. Let's face it, I would not have thought we would get at least a point out of Man City/United and Arsenal, and our record at Goodison Park has always been awful.
speed demon Posted 10 October, 2012 Posted 10 October, 2012 Seen enough to suggest that the £1,000 I've laid on us to not get relegated isn't dead money.
richardc Posted 10 October, 2012 Posted 10 October, 2012 There are still plenty of empty seats on a match day so people like me can attend when we like.
The9 Posted 10 October, 2012 Posted 10 October, 2012 The red kit doesn't look too bad after all? Let's not go nuts.
JPTCount Posted 10 October, 2012 Posted 10 October, 2012 the biggest positive for me is our very impressive young signings, and our youth prospects coming through or just finally getting to shine at thus level. provided we stay up this year, which I think we will, and replace the dead weight, this squad is destined for great things.
