pangy Posted 28 November, 2012 Share Posted 28 November, 2012 Dire match both teams looked tired to me,Luke Shaw or Clyne was probably motm for me,a great partnership Clyne and Punch have on the right,they really are starting to gel,great shift from Shaw he looks wise beyond his years.on to Liverpool were hopefully the team will be refreshed and fired up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colinjb Posted 28 November, 2012 Share Posted 28 November, 2012 8 points from 12, there's hope in this season. Areas needing improvement are obvious and we are in touch with the pack. I would have taken that in a heartbeat 7 weeks ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shroppie Posted 28 November, 2012 Share Posted 28 November, 2012 Disappointing not to win but it could easily have gone t!ts up after the soft goal right on half time. Was very important not to lose and that's 4 unbeaten. Who set the wall for the free kick? It was as much to blame as Gazza was. Anyone else think we got nothing from the ref again tonight?

Edmonton Saint Posted 28 November, 2012 Share Posted 28 November, 2012 Why Adkins is persisting with Gazzaniga is beyond me. The last 3 goals we have conceded have ALL been his fault and he has cost us four points. It's not good enough and will come back to bite us in the season shake up in April..

Saints Fan Dan Posted 28 November, 2012 Share Posted 28 November, 2012 Disappointing but not a bad result. I sensed Norwich would be tricky and that we weren't going to win.

mulletsaint Posted 28 November, 2012 Share Posted 28 November, 2012 We cannot keep throwing home points away. Correct. However it's still part of a good run and the points difference between us and midtable is pretty close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Who? Posted 28 November, 2012 Share Posted 28 November, 2012 1-1 1-3 0-2 1-1 All 3 of the goals we conceded were keeping errors and 2 of them cost us an extra 4 points. But on the other hand we have let in less than 1 goal a game in the last 4. Things are much better, but not pretending we are out of the woods or not got a lot of work to do, because we have. I do not expect much on Saturday but you never know, Spurs might have knackered them out. But then home to Reading and Sunderland I expect 6 points.

UpweySaint Posted 28 November, 2012 Share Posted 28 November, 2012 Maybe could've nicked a win but I think they were good for their point. Came and were very very solid and hard to break down, did well finding balls out wide. Actually gutted for Gazza (although Clyne's foul was madness!) but fancy he could do with a break after that, I'm a big fan but after his mistake for the first left Shaw stranded for the snodgrass tackle ... I think the nail's been hit a;ready here we just ran out of steam a bit and we looked laboured up top especially. Would've liked to have seen Mayuka on towards the end, Gaston and Punch both looked tired and we'v seen Mayuka look good taking advantage of tired legs. Either way the league looks a lot less daunting after our recent run. Two or three more good results before the new year and we'l look ok! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW11_Saint Posted 28 November, 2012 Share Posted 28 November, 2012 Had a feeling it'd be a draw, Norwich are handy. 4 games unbeaten, 8 points out of 12. Still on an upward trend. COYS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheaf Saint Posted 28 November, 2012 Share Posted 28 November, 2012 Yeah it's disappointing not to win at home, given how good our home record was last season. But overall I thought both teams defended very well and cancelled each other out. So considering how our form was prior to this little run, two wins and two draws from our last four games is encouraging. It's true that Norwich can count themselves lucky to have got an equaliser, but there was a massive slice of luck about our opening goal as well. So it's no good blaming Gazza for not winning - the attackers have to take responsibility and score more goals as well. One fairly fortunate goal will not be enough for us at this level. Don't know if it was the cold weather or just fatigue from putting in so much effort in our last couple of games, but the whole team seemed to lack a bit of sharpness tonight. A better team might have punished that, so I'm actually quite happy with a draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hypochondriac Posted 28 November, 2012 Share Posted 28 November, 2012 A decent performance. Norwich were really good and organised. We shaded the first half but were outplayed for the second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VectisSaint Posted 28 November, 2012 Share Posted 28 November, 2012 I think 3 games in 6 days is not going to help us this week. I fancied us to get something against Liverpool but Suarez didn't get booked and I think they may be able to outrun us on Saturday now. Hope Shaw is OK as well, could be a problem if not. Still positive, 8 points from 4, defence is beginning to look sound, just wish I had confidence in one of our keepers. Perhaps NA can have a go between the sticks.

saint cozza Posted 28 November, 2012 Share Posted 28 November, 2012 Liverpool will be a big test for our squad, but Reading and Sunderland are huge need to win those.

Halo Stickman Posted 28 November, 2012 Share Posted 28 November, 2012 I like Gazza’s enthusiasm but he’s been largely responsible for the last 3 goals we’ve conceded; without those we could have been sitting on a run of 4 consecutive wins and clean sheets. Don’t expect to be seeing him in the first team for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Martini Posted 28 November, 2012 Share Posted 28 November, 2012 Dissapointing not to win at home and especially because they score from a goalkeeper error but in the end the performance from the whole team wasn't as good as the last two matches. The passing was sloppy, we left Ricky isolated at times and didn't create anything down the flanks. The only player who played better then last outing was Shaw. He was awesome. He owned Snodgrass, pushed him of the ball several times and was confident is possession. Clear man of the match for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ART Posted 28 November, 2012 Share Posted 28 November, 2012 Disappointing but have to say Norwich played well and kept their head. Sad that we are level in points with December 2004 with the same number of games. We lost the next 3 till the Almighty Redknapp took over. May I remind everyone we got relegated that season with 32 points. We'll need to do a lot better if we're going to beat the drop. Like 2005, our hopes lie in our success in the transfer window and picking up enough points. Like to think tonight the lads were tired and it's just a blip.

Thedelldays Posted 28 November, 2012 Share Posted 28 November, 2012 I would have bitten your hand off for 4 points from the last two games...however, giving away goals from good play etc, and getting a draw, fair enough but utterly gifting away (again) points/goals..when it happens every game..is not good enough really...if we want to stay up, we are gong to have to get points from top 4-6 teams and we will need heroic performances from our keeper. the defence look much better, we are scoring goals but our inability (or gazzaniggas) to do the basics in goal will probably mean, the heroic points against a top side will not happen....teams that stay up will beat a top 4-6 side(s) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adrian lord Posted 28 November, 2012 Share Posted 28 November, 2012 team looked tired. should have brought on some fresh legs earlier in second half This is why we need to strengthen the squad significantly in Jan and even more decisively next summer. As we saw in Aug/Sept/Oct, without our full first 11 we are highly vulnerable, or even if they are just tired like tonight, we are weak. Cork needs an effective understudy, in particular.

JoeShmoe Posted 28 November, 2012 Share Posted 28 November, 2012 Thought Schnierderlin and Cork were poor tonight, you have to have one of them push on to offer a runner going forward. Ricky needs to start getting a few of those snap shots on target, he would have scored that last year. Like to see Ramirez be a little more direct as well, run at the back 4 sometimes and get them back peddling. Thought Bassong was excellent, wish we would have gone for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
