hypochondriac Posted 17 August, 2013 Posted 17 August, 2013 Decent first half. Been by far the better team though you can see why another striker would make the difference.
Dr Who? Posted 17 August, 2013 Posted 17 August, 2013 Good to see our corners are effective as ever. Was reading the stats on corners pre-season and for the excitment they generate, the goal that come from them re extremely low for every club.
Saint_clark Posted 17 August, 2013 Posted 17 August, 2013 Good to see our corners are effective as ever. There was an article I read the other day that said less than 3% of corners result in a goal. Our corners actually HAVE been a lot better today, Ward-Prowses set pieces are very good.
DG Posted 17 August, 2013 Posted 17 August, 2013 Promising half, keep it up and i'm sure we'll get that goal eventually. Or lose.
Pastor Patrón Posted 17 August, 2013 Posted 17 August, 2013 Ward Prowse looks absolute quality, so much better than Ramirez
Batman Posted 17 August, 2013 Author Posted 17 August, 2013 by far the better team but not many saves for either keeper wanyama and lovren looking excellent
Toon Saint Posted 17 August, 2013 Posted 17 August, 2013 Good to see our corners are effective as ever. To be fair, some of JWP's set-pieces have been cracking.
Webby Posted 17 August, 2013 Posted 17 August, 2013 We're bossing this game, but the difference between this season and last has to be whether we can make that tell and get the 3 points rather than a draw, or even worse, a defeat to a late sloppy goal.
JoeShmoe Posted 17 August, 2013 Posted 17 August, 2013 Actually think Ramirez could be a difference maker here, something to pick the lock Not sure if were playing well or if WBA are pretty poor or both
Minsk Posted 17 August, 2013 Posted 17 August, 2013 Wanyama looks very good. JWP and Shaw having great games too.
sussexsaint Posted 17 August, 2013 Posted 17 August, 2013 Promising half, keep it up and i'm sure we'll get that goal eventually. Or lose. Made me laugh, saints through and through. Watching the red arrows at the moment so without a stream. Who is on the bench ? Did SRLEGM get any sort of massive welcome ?
Pastor Patrón Posted 17 August, 2013 Posted 17 August, 2013 Rodriguez doesn't look great so far though
Batman Posted 17 August, 2013 Author Posted 17 August, 2013 Actually think Ramirez could be a difference maker here, something to pick the lock Not sure if were playing well or if WBA are pretty poor or both WBA look very ordinary without Lukaku
DG Posted 17 August, 2013 Posted 17 August, 2013 To be fair, some of JWP's set-pieces have been cracking. They were? Good to hear, the stream i'm watching didn't start for a while. I wonder if he will be a consistent starter.
Batman Posted 17 August, 2013 Author Posted 17 August, 2013 They were? Good to hear, the stream i'm watching didn't start for a while. I wonder if he will be a consistent starter. He looks very good too.
Saint_clark Posted 17 August, 2013 Posted 17 August, 2013 We should be 1 up. AL was onside imo. Nah, he was a couple of inches off. Still very harsh though considering the offside decisions that don't get given sometimes.
Saint Bones Posted 17 August, 2013 Posted 17 August, 2013 Very Happy with the first half - we look very positive. Hoping that we push on in the second half and get the goal our play deserves. 0 Points from the Baggies last season... Lets start setting the record straight.
niceandfriendly Posted 17 August, 2013 Posted 17 August, 2013 JWP needs to focus less on his Johnny Wilkinson style run-ups and more on beating the first man. Pretty hopeless set pieces so far, but other than that he is doing well. Along with all other saints players. Excellent so far. Our goal was onside too.
ALWAYS_SFC Posted 17 August, 2013 Posted 17 August, 2013 Ward Prowse looks absolute quality, so much better than Ramirez Lol..how can you tell....are you able to see in to the future?
Saint_clark Posted 17 August, 2013 Posted 17 August, 2013 He looks very good too. Promising to see Chambers looking so comfortable as well.
SaintRobbie Posted 17 August, 2013 Posted 17 August, 2013 Lallana needs his hair cut. He's starting to look a little wierd. God know's what his goal celebration hadve been if he'd scored.
Bewildered Posted 17 August, 2013 Posted 17 August, 2013 Rodriguez has been frsutrating so far, few few decent runs but his passing & crossing have been poor at times. Wanyama looking like he'll make the centre of our midfield a lot tougher physically. Hate to say it, but I think Mulumbu & Yacob would have been bullying us out of the game if Cork was in there instead of VW.
Olallana Posted 17 August, 2013 Posted 17 August, 2013 Easy to say that we have made two top notch signings in Lovren and Wanyama.

I thought our set pieces looked better than last season with jwp taking them!
Colinjb Posted 17 August, 2013 Posted 17 August, 2013 63% possession that half. Got to make the most of it.
Leicestersaint Posted 17 August, 2013 Posted 17 August, 2013 Just lacking that cutting edge. On the balance of play we should be winning.
DG Posted 17 August, 2013 Posted 17 August, 2013 Finished the lucky cup of coffee. We will score on page 5.

Toon Saint Posted 17 August, 2013 Posted 17 August, 2013 I thought Kevin Friend was Howard Webb with a hair transplant #uncanny EDIT: google-imaged him, they look nothing alike.
syd_barrett_saint Posted 17 August, 2013 Posted 17 August, 2013 Like most, really impressed with Wanyama so far. Didn't think we needed to improve on Cork, but we have and we look a better team for it. JWP playing well too, we seem to have found a good set-piece taker!
niceandfriendly Posted 17 August, 2013 Posted 17 August, 2013 Ooops. Seems like I'm on my own with that one. What have I been smoking?
DG Posted 17 August, 2013 Posted 17 August, 2013 That was a good corner, looked like it came off their defender last?
RobM Posted 17 August, 2013 Posted 17 August, 2013 Excellent shot from JRod, off the bar and after the whistle, but still shows confidence!
DG Posted 17 August, 2013 Posted 17 August, 2013 Should have buried that. This stream getting too stop/start now, hard to follow!
RobM Posted 17 August, 2013 Posted 17 August, 2013 Good spell from WBA at the moment, we're up against it more now than any point in the first half.
Grey Crab Posted 17 August, 2013 Posted 17 August, 2013 There was an article I read the other day that said less than 3% of corners result in a goal. Our corners actually HAVE been a lot better today, Ward-Prowses set pieces are very good. If we are struggling to score, we should try and get 33 corners instead.
Toon Saint Posted 17 August, 2013 Posted 17 August, 2013 Really impressed by Lovren so far. Passing very well, covering LB superbly when Shaw is out of position. Also drawing fouls intelligently. Looks a class above.
RobM Posted 17 August, 2013 Posted 17 August, 2013 Fonte is our weak link at the moment. Sorry to say it.
