Turkish Posted 11 December, 2012 Share Posted 11 December, 2012 as people said when we were bottom, re - adkins....there is no point as who would come in...? so far...reading have.. drew at QPR lost at wigan lost at Saints losing at sunderland didnt they lose at villa..? BUT...they have all these teams to play at home yet......and likewise...we have the opposite....maybe it could all change... that is what NickG's on the reading forum would say They lost at Villa too. Yes they've got some decent home games to come but they look awful, I can't see them winning too many at home either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint_clark Posted 11 December, 2012 Share Posted 11 December, 2012 They're dreadful. My only real criticism of our performances in recent weeks is the inability to put teams to the sword when we've been so far on top. Newcastle and Reading should have been done for 4 or 5 goals apiece, and think what our goal difference would look like if that had happened. Sunderland have struggled to score goals all season and yet they look like they could get double figures tonight. We certainly looked more likely to score earlier in the season...but perhaps we've sacrificed a part of that for the defensive solidity we've seen?

sammysaint Posted 11 December, 2012 Share Posted 11 December, 2012 Il take a draw vs Sunderland i know its a home game but to be honest there squad on paper is decent and should be between 12th and 8th, our squad is getting there but our CBs need to be in form to stop there strike force pace, i have know doubt Fonte will win the aerial battle with Fletcher, but his and sessengnon pace scares me, i have confidence Clyne will stop Johnson or that non poppy wearing idiot and Shaw will cope with Larsson. We will also need gaston to really control the game and spread the balls to Lallana and Puncheon as there full backs lack pace to keep up with our guys.

Not a given that they'll lose though. A draw - or even a narrow defeat whilst playing well - will give them even more confidence. They'll especially have more belief in their ability to score now.

Turkish Posted 11 December, 2012 Share Posted 11 December, 2012 I am LOLing at all the Reading and someone else fans I work with moaning on their Facebook about how crap they and McDermott are. Only 4 short months after telling me they'd made the best signings of the summer out of all the promotion teams, had the best manager, are loaded and going to finish mid table.

Saint Garrett Posted 11 December, 2012 Share Posted 11 December, 2012 Theyre a side with a decent amount of quality who are underperforming. Johnson, Sessegnon, Fletcher, Mclean, Gardner are all handy players. Will cause us problems, I'm very surprised how badly they've done. Just hope we can edge it out.

JRM Posted 12 December, 2012 Share Posted 12 December, 2012 couple of points from this thread ; - we aren't really in a position to laugh at Reading support , yes we have taken loads to Hartlepool midweek in recent years but I remember going to sunderland on a bitterly cold Tuesday night in Jan 2003 and there was only 150 odd saints fans there. - we can't laugh at Arsenal defeat or oxo performance after the way they embarrassed us earlier in the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
70's Mike Posted 12 December, 2012 Share Posted 12 December, 2012 It has been interesting watching the slow decline of the Ox both theo and the Ox made the biggest mistake of their lives, in football terms, going to the Arse a side which likes to pass you to death rather than rely on pace.As with all English players at Arse they get dropped and have to change their game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Window Cleaner Posted 12 December, 2012 Share Posted 12 December, 2012 yes but he wasn't even the worst, Gervinho and Chamakh were absolute turd. which merely illustrates my point yesterday that French football in general is rubbish, these were both top goalscorers in Ligue 1. Anyway I see that O'Neill says that Sunderland are still in trouble....a point which we should keep in mind seeing as we're now a point below them from an equal number of games.
