Bucks Saint Posted 6 November, 2012 Posted 6 November, 2012 Most depressing part of MNF was when G Neville was slightly stuck for words when asked: "any positives at all for Southampton?"
a1ex2001 Posted 6 November, 2012 Posted 6 November, 2012 We still created a number of decent chances away from home against a team who are having a great season, yes we were garbage but it's not all doom and gloom with a small dose of luck last night things could have been different handball deflected goal then we smack the cross bar at the other end pretty much sums up our season so far.
The Kraken Posted 6 November, 2012 Posted 6 November, 2012 We only let in 2 goals; the goals conceded per game average will have come down.
Mowgli Posted 6 November, 2012 Posted 6 November, 2012 Ramirez got some match practice ahead of Saturday. J Road is looking better each game. Shaw made a sound debut.
Bucks Saint Posted 6 November, 2012 Posted 6 November, 2012 We won a penalty (which we very sportingly declined to accept)
Nigel=God-Poyet=Sod Posted 6 November, 2012 Posted 6 November, 2012 For god sake, another pointless thread just being miserable and spreading into others. I went to the game and the support was excellent, especially for Nigel, showing that we are behind him and the team. That's a positive. Also, we are still creating chances. Obviously our defence is poor and we aren't going to win games 1-0, but as long as chances are being created, we still have the opportunities to win games and get points.
saint_sinner Posted 6 November, 2012 Author Posted 6 November, 2012 Shaw made a sound debut. I felt for shaw, bring the lad on for his Prem debut 2-0 down! There's a debut to remember. You're right though, the support was a positive, never in question
Kingsbridge Saint Posted 6 November, 2012 Posted 6 November, 2012 Gaston got a step nearer to being the top player that he can be. Gazzaniga looked the part. Fans were great.
Thedelldays Posted 6 November, 2012 Posted 6 November, 2012 Gaston got a step nearer to being the top player that he can be. Gazzaniga looked the part. Fans were great. What does that mean. He was ****e last night Ramirez that is
badgerx16 Posted 6 November, 2012 Posted 6 November, 2012 We made more passes than WBA. But most of them were by Davis and went straight to a WBA player.
Saint Garrett Posted 6 November, 2012 Posted 6 November, 2012 What does that mean. He was ****e last night Ramirez that is Atleast he got some minutes under his belt. Needs to build up his fitness for Saturday though.
Kingsbridge Saint Posted 6 November, 2012 Posted 6 November, 2012 What does that mean. He was ****e last night Ramirez that is FFS he just made a return from a prolonged period of injury and we slaughter him because he gives the ball away a few times trying to create things? Give him a break. He's an exceptional talent, and a game closer to match fitness, and rediscovering his touch.

Miltonroader07 Posted 6 November, 2012 Posted 6 November, 2012 If all of the great fans that went to the game got home safely that is a positive, IMO
alpine_saint Posted 6 November, 2012 Posted 6 November, 2012 I got my latest airplane model finished.
pingwing Posted 6 November, 2012 Posted 6 November, 2012 We looked pretty good, we didn't make a single "calamity moment" and we made some decent chances. Doom and gloom after the first half of spurs or after West Ham is fine, but after last night it isn't. Other than just lacking confidence (and playing Rodriguez) we don't actually look a bad premier league side.
dubai_phil Posted 6 November, 2012 Posted 6 November, 2012 I did not go down the pub to watch the game. That saved me around 40 quid. (7 Quid+ a pint & 10 quid return taxi fare) Eric DID go down the pub to watch it last night. That has kept a smirk on my face all day.
Wes Tender Posted 6 November, 2012 Posted 6 November, 2012 We looked pretty good, we didn't make a single "calamity moment" and we made some decent chances. Doom and gloom after the first half of spurs or after West Ham is fine, but after last night it isn't. Other than just lacking confidence (and playing Rodriguez) we don't actually look a bad premier league side. Quite. We didn't play too badly and were unlucky really not to have got at least a point from the match. Odemwingie got away with a blatant handball which was missed by both the ref and the lino. Had that been given, then it is probable that their first goal might not have happened. It was obvious that the ref had viewed it at half time and realised that both officials had missed it. Even then, having missed that, the goal was a bit flukey, as a deflection that otherwise Gazzaniga would probably have saved. Nothing really that could have been done about their second goal, as Fox was clearly identified as being at fault, but what exactly can you do about improving Fox anyway? But Lallana should have been awarded what was a clear penalty, which I am confident would have been put away by Lambert. Half chances which on another day would have been put away by us, together with the bad luck that went against us that I mentioned above, mean that 1 point was deserved and three points wasn't beyond the realms of possibility.
Marino Posted 6 November, 2012 Posted 6 November, 2012 Positives ? One or two trip off the jolly old keyboard... We are in the Prem. We still have the bright young Manager that we craved for when we were scratching around in L1. We still have the bright young Chairman we craved after the debacle/s of the previous incumbents. We have a team that I still enjoy watching - one that has endured the toughest opening schedule of any promoted team since the PL started. We have an outstanding Academy - one that continues to produce future stars of the game. We are Southampton. Simple really.
dickyhale Posted 6 November, 2012 Posted 6 November, 2012 Went to the Curry mile before the game...Do not want to see another onion bhaji this life time still full of gas....On a Saints note Ramirez is back from injury.........
saint-crinny Posted 6 November, 2012 Posted 6 November, 2012 Most depressing part of MNF was when G Neville was slightly stuck for words when asked: "any positives at all for Southampton?" Not strictly true, he stumbled around a bit and then plumped for "They tried hard". Brilliant
dubai_phil Posted 6 November, 2012 Posted 6 November, 2012 Sam Dobson @SamDobson1 One plus from last night- Jack Cork started for the U21's at Sunderland, could well be back on Saturday for the Swansea game #Saintsfc
paris Posted 6 November, 2012 Posted 6 November, 2012 Gazza, Ramirez,Shaw ,j rod , Clyne ..................The Fans ...............

Ian the Red Posted 6 November, 2012 Posted 6 November, 2012 (edited) We have Ricky Lambert....... our only real goal threat Edited 6 November, 2012 by Ian the Red
Colinjb Posted 6 November, 2012 Posted 6 November, 2012 Which player 'controlled the ball' with his face on the build up to Rickie hitting the bar? What a lay off that was, pass of the season!
WokingSaint Posted 6 November, 2012 Posted 6 November, 2012 Well said that man! There are too many doom and gloom merchants on here. We might well have had the draw. We created a few good chances, hit the bar, were denied a penalty and their first goal should never have been allowed. I refuse to get worried until after Xmas. NA should stay.

sandwichsaint Posted 6 November, 2012 Posted 6 November, 2012 Clear run all the way up there. Met my nipper down who was from L'boro with a couple of his mates. Nice hour in the Vine before the match, lovely drop of beer (but as a negative couldn't get near the indian bbq which looked brilliant). Reasonable hot dog on the way to the ground. Always good to see Saints play and be in with our generally excellent supporters (big negative, who were the 2 or 3 idiots from racist idiot tendency about 6 or 7 rows back down behind the goal?) Enjoyed the banter and the singing. Trouble free get away and incident free journey home (but miles, literally, of 40mph and 50mph restrictions on the M'ways last night. Home at 13-30!) You meant on the pitch? Gazza looks v promising, Clyne is young and raw but has a great attitude, I love Yoshida's Desperate Dan style-defending, you won't find it any coaching manual but it's pretty entertaining to watch, Lambert hit the bar with his only meaningful action, that was about it positives-wise on the playing side. Not a classic away day but about as good as it's going to get this season.
david in sweden Posted 6 November, 2012 Posted 6 November, 2012 none positives from last night's game ?....... er .........um..........er......positives ? ......er.....um...... Er......what was the question again ?
latter day saint Posted 6 November, 2012 Posted 6 November, 2012 it was my nippers birthday & i didn't burn myself doing the fireworks before the match. after that it was a big negative, apart from our fans vocal support
