Ziggy Posted 12 August, 2008 Posted 12 August, 2008 An insightful post indeed Thanks - I spent a lot of time thinking about that one!
thefuriousb Posted 12 August, 2008 Posted 12 August, 2008 I wasn't being totally Alpinesque, I put oh my at the end, you are too serious. eply was not to come across as "serious". Good to see my habit for speaking too soon and always looking for the positives means we are now sweating on the last 5 minutes
66East Posted 12 August, 2008 Posted 12 August, 2008 Why can we never win easy. It's squeaky bum time almost every game isn't it.
dubai_phil Posted 12 August, 2008 Posted 12 August, 2008 DMG buries it in the last second of the game WOOT a last second goal for US for a change! 3-1
saintkiptanui Posted 12 August, 2008 Posted 12 August, 2008 oh my god, bristol have scored a late winner, 4 out of 4 whats the betting saints let me down in the alst minute for £200?? No we have scored yeeeesshhhh! day of tomorrow
Saint_Mabes Posted 12 August, 2008 Posted 12 August, 2008 Perhaps Jan has been allowed to overule Rupert on this one? Perhaps! Does anyone have any idea how good Tommy rain is?? I don't but for some reason think he may be reallt good for us. COYR hold on!
eurosaint Posted 12 August, 2008 Posted 12 August, 2008 Sounded like a good performance and makes a change from our usual 1st round exit !
Andy_Porter Posted 12 August, 2008 Posted 12 August, 2008 Good result, really glad we're taking this cup seriously. The last couple of seasons have been a joke.
Nexstar Posted 12 August, 2008 Posted 12 August, 2008 A late goal for saints? So early in the season?! Well done guys, should be a good confidence booster for saturday.
66East Posted 12 August, 2008 Posted 12 August, 2008 Thank f**k for that. Should do wonders for McG's confidence. Roll on saturday.
alpine_saint Posted 12 August, 2008 Posted 12 August, 2008 Is it fair to say that Schneiderlin in midfield works better ??
Bourno Posted 12 August, 2008 Posted 12 August, 2008 Yipee a victory. I am not expecting too many of these this season.
TopGun Posted 12 August, 2008 Posted 12 August, 2008 43% possession against Exeter with our total football, oh my. I know Alps disputed my point about this on Saturday when we supposedly had 32% of possession but that BBC thingy is nonsense, it's just a swingometer for the last few minutes of the played game in effect. I've watched it for ages and that's all it does. Anyway, that's a reasonable result so well played the team and JP.
saint1977 Posted 12 August, 2008 Posted 12 August, 2008 Good result, many CCC teams going out tonight. Could do with a couple a favourable home draws now so we can pull some revenue in.

saintwarwick Posted 12 August, 2008 Posted 12 August, 2008 Good to see McGoaldrick amongst the goals, three in two games. Will he be our 20 goals a season striker this season?
alpine_saint Posted 12 August, 2008 Posted 12 August, 2008 Good result, hopefully confidence well up for Saturday. I hope Killer is OK...........
PokingFun Posted 12 August, 2008 Posted 12 August, 2008 Is it fair to say that Schneiderlin in midfield works better ?? Well done boys good away win - that's all you had to say....
Charlie Wayman Posted 12 August, 2008 Posted 12 August, 2008 Looks like we found it hard going even against Exeter and but for that penalty we might have been embarrassed once again. Surely we should be able to shut out teams of that low calibre and not allow them anywhere near our goal? Still, taking the positives, more matches under their belts and no serious injuries so hopefully our lads are quick enough learners to be using this experience to hone their system. They'll need all the guile they can muster to do any serious damage to Birmingham at the weekend.
PokingFun Posted 12 August, 2008 Posted 12 August, 2008 Good result, hopefully confidence well up for Saturday. I hope Killer is OK........... Nearly fell off my chair...
alpine_saint Posted 12 August, 2008 Posted 12 August, 2008 Well done boys good away win - that's all you had to say.... Oh, for heavens sake.........
alpine_saint Posted 12 August, 2008 Posted 12 August, 2008 Nearly fell off my chair... Another dig........
PokingFun Posted 12 August, 2008 Posted 12 August, 2008 Another dig........ Oh come on, I am only PokingFun... ;-)

Give them a couple more weeks, and hopefully this phenomenon will disappear. All signs are that Poortvillet takes fitness more seriously than Burley did.
Psycrow Posted 12 August, 2008 Posted 12 August, 2008 pretty confident for Saturday if Svensson can take care of Ellington
Andy_Porter Posted 12 August, 2008 Posted 12 August, 2008 pretty confident for Saturday if Svensson can take care of Ellington Derby is the week after next.

Give them a couple more weeks, and hopefully this phenomenon will disappear. All signs are that Poortvillet takes fitness more seriously than Burley did. All the training pics I have seen seem to show a very animated and involved JP so I think that's true.

Err, lest we forget in season's past (Rotherham, Peterborough, Southend...) we would have LOST this game... Credit where it's due.
cf saint Posted 12 August, 2008 Posted 12 August, 2008 Err, lest we forget in season's past (Rotherham, Peterborough, Southend...) we would have LOST this game... Credit where it's due. Not sure this forum does credit LSC....can you imagine how many post match posts there would have been if we lost?? Didn't sound a great game but seemed in control most of the second half. We didn't look great defending set pieces on saturday and got them feeling was the same tonight so guess we need to work on that. But the main thing is a win, because we have a very hard first few games in the league so confidence is important.
tiger Posted 12 August, 2008 Posted 12 August, 2008 Err, lest we forget in season's past (Rotherham, Peterborough, Southend...) we would have LOST this game... Credit where it's due. Shame Rupes and Mikey Wilde were not there to celebrate
benjii Posted 12 August, 2008 Posted 12 August, 2008 Shame Rupes and Mikey Wilde were not there to celebrate Not really IMO.
Legod Second Coming Posted 12 August, 2008 Posted 12 August, 2008 Shame Rupes and Mikey Wilde were not there to celebrate Aye, I heard the Chairman of Boots failed to turn up to the opening of the Petersfield branch on Thursday last...
