Doctoroncall Posted 30 October, 2012 Posted 30 October, 2012 Isgrove and Shaw replace Lee and De Ridder Best action of the match so far for us.
Saint_clark Posted 30 October, 2012 Posted 30 October, 2012 Sounding more dangerous since the subs came on. 2 shots on goal already.
John B Posted 30 October, 2012 Posted 30 October, 2012 (edited) Removed by Moderator I think you should get back on the medication mate and calm down For a team like Southampton success can only be achieved in cup competetions rememember the JPT but for some reason the shambolic people running the club for a moment disagree.

dronskisaint Posted 30 October, 2012 Posted 30 October, 2012 For all the usual happy-clappy suspects, WHY are we playing a "reserve" side, when to be perfectly frank the first XI need all the practice, all the help, all the confidence-building, all the opportunity to practice the system expected of them and all the opportunity get used to playing alongside each other that they can get. I really dont get the club strategy, phillosophy and direction at the moment. For me the club resembles a headless chicken or a ship with no-one at the helm. Every so often you elicit a reply from me with your tedious negativity...why do you purport to support Saints - you surely cannot get any pleasure from the experience and your bleating just detracts from the quality of so many threads...to borrow your word - WHY? And - because it's a match thead - good to see Lloyd Isgrove come on, he has looked a good prospect when I've seem him in the development squad. Good to see the squad being used and the youngsters being blooded. Still think we'll win this, a goal will boost their confidence to go on and win.
St Chalet Posted 30 October, 2012 Posted 30 October, 2012 Commentator keeps saying 'booterfield', probably my highlight of the evening.
Thedelldays Posted 30 October, 2012 Posted 30 October, 2012 Cannot win, if we played the first team and we picked up a few injuries the same posters, would be saying why put out our first team in a nothing game! The same people that are wetting themselves because we are 1 down to Leeds. Can look for the negative in any situation. its not about that..its the utter shytness of our club...so easy to beat, every game....last game we went for the eintire first half without causing trouble...today, we are not causing trouble.....we seem to be unable to cause trouble other than 30 min periods or so.......something is dire at our club..the set up we employ is not working......adkins seem to not want to change our gung ho approach...i mean, playing mayuka up front on his own and lobbing the ball to him.. mayuka was brilliant when he came on for punch the other day..so what do we do, put him in another one.... it also shows that both lambert and rodriguez will probably start against WBA...which again really does not work
Ade Posted 30 October, 2012 Posted 30 October, 2012 they wouldn't lose. I wouldn't be so sure if I were you. Leeds beat a full strength Everton. This match is 2 days after an afternoon match, Leeds are fresher as they played Friday, who knows what the result would be. I would not be surprised if the first team struggled and got beat, and then what? At least with Nige playing the kids he has an excuse for losing. If he played the first team and they did lose, Nige would be out. Maybe that's why he's playing this team?
alpine_saint Posted 30 October, 2012 Posted 30 October, 2012 Alps might have a bit of a point I suppose. Playing Leeds might actually be safer than training as you're guaranteed to be playing on the same side as Guly.
Micky Posted 30 October, 2012 Posted 30 October, 2012 Have we actually had a shot on goal yet? You read my mind - exactly the question I was about to ask. Who's in goal for Leeds?
Whitey Grandad Posted 30 October, 2012 Posted 30 October, 2012 Didn't Blackpool rest their better players against us? What happened to them that season?
S-Clarke Posted 30 October, 2012 Posted 30 October, 2012 I hate Michael Brown with a passion. I think most football fans do.
anothersaintinsouthsea Posted 30 October, 2012 Posted 30 October, 2012 Fowler sticking the boot in "i'd be embarrassed if i was a Saints fan" Join the club :/ Liverpool spending £75m on Carroll, Henderson and Downing is more embarrassing than losing away in the cup.
Dibden Purlieu Saint Posted 30 October, 2012 Posted 30 October, 2012 I struggle to see how any of you enjoy football. Even when we win there is whinging about going behind or a poor performance. Heck, when we were closing in on the title last year, people still doom and gloom saying we'd lose out or when we went up we'd lose every week. Just enjoy the sodding game, you can't influence it either way, just enjoy the entertainment. How can you say that, we don't ****ing win!?
Saint Billy Posted 30 October, 2012 Posted 30 October, 2012 Not even a shot on goal. This is a shocking performance, forget the league form or who is in the team. This is really, really bad. Dont worry, according to some on here we should applaud this display because being dicked in this Mickey Mouse cup will benefit our league form.
CB Fry Posted 30 October, 2012 Posted 30 October, 2012 He's a hero to some on here, a proper premier league player who is going to have a massive impact. Despite most only having seen him about 3 times. He'll have loads more time and space to weave his magic in Premier League matches to be fair.
S-Clarke Posted 30 October, 2012 Posted 30 October, 2012 Guly losing his head, trying to get himself a get out of jail card for our next 3 games by the sounds of it.
Mr Saints Posted 30 October, 2012 Posted 30 October, 2012 Think this shows that IF we go down and lose Lallana, Lambert, Morgan and 1 or 2 more then we'll need to reinvest as the fringe players just aren't up to it, even at Championship level.
adj250770 Posted 30 October, 2012 Posted 30 October, 2012 Liking the sound of Isgrove :-) Taters: From the long line of short, blonde Saints footballers - WTF?
Patrick Bateman Posted 30 October, 2012 Posted 30 October, 2012 Burley AND Fowler both laying in to Saints; Di Ridder, Lee and Guly in particular. Suppose they BOTH have an agenda "against Saints" do they? *roll eyes*
Saint_clark Posted 30 October, 2012 Posted 30 October, 2012 Gulys going to be banned for about 5 games if he doesn't get punished here. Again, I f*cking hate Michael Brown.
cynicalsaint Posted 30 October, 2012 Posted 30 October, 2012 Some people are utterly beyond help. Not me mate - seen Us play some of the best teams in the country and just come up short and seen a couple of below par performances this season. We'll be ok or we wont but the world will keep turning and the sun will come up tomorrow morning. Your moribund the end of the world is nigh boring drivel is just tedious beyond belief. You should get out more. Go watch a game some time, maybe have a beer with some mates (!!?!?!?!) and get out of your pit of despair.
mulletsaint Posted 30 October, 2012 Posted 30 October, 2012 We are becoming a laughing stock Becoming? I've had two, maybe three seasons where I've been proud to be a Saint in London. Just keeping my head down at the mo.
Glasgow_Saint Posted 30 October, 2012 Posted 30 October, 2012 Guly losing his head, trying to get himself a get out of jail card for our next 3 games by the sounds of it. Could be one positive from tonight

egg Posted 30 October, 2012 Posted 30 October, 2012 Again, I highly doubt that posters are upset due to this result in isolation. We should look at this game in context, ie away in a meaningless tie with a scratch team. It shouldn't be viewed in the context of the season.
Saint_clark Posted 30 October, 2012 Posted 30 October, 2012 Sand, head. Possibly. I still think we'll stay up...but I'm not denying how pathetically bad this is.
Window Cleaner Posted 30 October, 2012 Posted 30 October, 2012 Gulys going to be banned for about 5 games if he doesn't get punished here. Again, I f*cking hate Michael Brown. Probably just totally hacked off with Saints.Probably just doesn't want to play in the reserves. Same as Lee I expect.
Saint Garrett Posted 30 October, 2012 Posted 30 October, 2012 Burley AND Fowler both laying in to Saints; Di Ridder, Lee and Guly in particular. Suppose they BOTH have an agenda "against Saints" do they? *roll eyes* To be fair I turned over from 5LIVE to SaintsPlayer because the Leeds love in was annoying me. However I'm certain those which they have mentioned haven't been good enough.
Thedelldays Posted 30 October, 2012 Posted 30 October, 2012 We should look at this game in context, ie away in a meaningless tie with a scratch team. It shouldn't be viewed in the context of the season. im looking at the season in context....we are going to down at a rate of knots and we are slowly getting worse
St Chalet Posted 30 October, 2012 Posted 30 October, 2012 Saints having best spell of the game according to R5LX
SB Posted 30 October, 2012 Posted 30 October, 2012 I'm not fussed either. But we've been so bad today, we haven't even had a shot on goal. That is not something to dismiss. Granted, and for that reason I'd also welcome back Arry. Lucky I don't have any say in southamptons issues ay?
Window Cleaner Posted 30 October, 2012 Posted 30 October, 2012 I still think we'll stay up...but I'm not denying how pathetically bad this is. We will stay up...if we can get the real first team out on to the pitch for a few consecutive games and soon.
pingwing Posted 30 October, 2012 Posted 30 October, 2012 Why has everyone gone into utter meltdown over a pointless cup?? I miss the days when this was the Worthington Cup just so everyone remembered how worthless it is. Liverpool proved it when they spent 75m to win a grand pot of 500k, its a waste of time and Adkins knows it by starting SEABORNE. Now everyone calm down and remember the important game is Monday.
Rebel Posted 30 October, 2012 Posted 30 October, 2012 I think it's fairly obvious we put a team out to lose tonight so that we can concentrate on Premier League survival. The big problem with that is we need a win - from wherever we can get it - and a team that is used to playing together and to a system. Momentum and that winning feeling got us promoted last season. That losing habit will get us relegated this season. Reading have got the right idea - playing their first team against Arsenal and going 4-0 up. Think how a win tonight could turn their season around. Mind you the way we are playing our first team would struggle against Leeds at Elland Road.
S-Clarke Posted 30 October, 2012 Posted 30 October, 2012 I still think we'll stay up...but I'm not denying how pathetically bad this is. I'm pretty positive fella, but I'm starting to lose the will to live at our ****ness this year. If I'm honest I'm pretty devastated as I thought we'd be a nice fresh team to the PL, but it's so far worse than even my worst case scenario would have been.

Dr Who? Posted 30 October, 2012 Posted 30 October, 2012 November will be the turning point! Lets all stick together and get through this. Easy to point the finger when we are not winning every week.
Saint Billy Posted 30 October, 2012 Posted 30 October, 2012 im looking at the season in context....we are going to down at a rate of knots and we are slowly getting worse Careful, some can't handle the truth.
Thedelldays Posted 30 October, 2012 Posted 30 October, 2012 November will be the turning point! Lets all stick together and get through this. Easy to point the finger when we are not winning every week. we will get 3 points in november if we are lucky....I knew we would lose against spurs...we will lose tonight, we will lose at WBA.....then what..? we wont get anything against newcastle..we wont get anything at QPR..........lucky to get 3 points in the next month.....

There are more important things in life than Leeds away in the Carling Cup.
hasper57saint Posted 30 October, 2012 Posted 30 October, 2012 We are becoming a laughing stock What do you mean 'becoming?" We ARE a Laughing Stock and have been all season. PS Goals conceded mean anything?
London Saint Posted 30 October, 2012 Posted 30 October, 2012 November will be the turning point! Lets all stick together and get through this. Easy to point the finger when we are not winning every week. Turning point as in that's when we get cut adrift at the bottom?! ;-)
cynicalsaint Posted 30 October, 2012 Posted 30 October, 2012 Oh feck. Do you mean if our second string 11 lose to Leeds the sun wont come up tomorrow morning and the world will stop turning? Get a fecking grip ffs. It is just a game. We are going through a bad spell whcih may or may not result in relegation to the most entertaining league in europe. But either way just enjoy the ride or get off the feckin bus because the constant drone of negative, wrist slashing pessism is doing my head in. My 11 year old boy has a more mature attitude to losing games ofnfootball than some people on here. FFS.
Saint_clark Posted 30 October, 2012 Posted 30 October, 2012 This is my first match thread this season, but I've only just noticed a lack of nuns...maybe that's where we've gone wrong? Where has this tradition gone?
