Please show me which part of my post was complacent? It's factual sure but complacent? I appreciate with kids you will have a lot of inconsistencies. I have also seen many many more games than you this season so I am better qualified to make a judgement.

 

Well, your sense of judgement is seriously flawed then.

I am praying for another Mikey Wilde panic attack, because I reckon it is the only thing that is going to force a change of direction on the club and rescue us from the abyss of relegation..........

 

Christ......that really is our only hope.

Are we in the relegation zone? Are we bottom of the league? No so we aren't in trouble. There is a threat of relegation but I'm not making a mountain out of a molehill.

We're not in the relegation zone tonight but we're certainly in trouble.

But my worry is that I can see Charlton and Watford turning it around.

 

They certainly both have squads that are probably better than their league position says, whereas I think we are not really capable of turning things around and instead will just plod on at something like a point a game.

 

I think Forest and Doncaster will stay there and I just pray that someone like Barnsley or Blackpool will get dragged back in or else we could very well end up 22nd and fccukced.

 

If and when that happens I will be concerned. It hasn't yet and we are actually in a better situation than we were a couple of weeks ago! With some comments you would think we were dead and buried yet we arent even in the relegation zone.

Charlton -mmm depends whom they appoint.

Watford - depends on whether the bloke can make a success of his first ever management job.

Both have squads like ours - Watford have a serious cash shortage and will have to sell in January, so too might Charlton - their fans are well cheesed off at losing Varney already.

 

We're in a relegation fight.

It's whether we have the stomach for it.

I turned off when the third went in, Jan time to admit you are out of your depth and go. Total football my arse, all very neat and nice no end product.

I dont think many people will have seen through the brilliance of Jan's gameplan - thats a performance not to alert all the TV viewers to the talent on offer at St Mary's this January...cunning old fox

Its whether we have the stomach AND strength for it. And in my opinion, we have neither.

Unbelievable.

 

I'm not going to respond to you anymore. Anyone can see you are a reactionary idiot and your posts speak for themselves. Um Pahars didn't agree with me but his reply was a structured argument.

4 goals scored and 6 points taken from 7 games since we started our "revival" at Preston. LOL !

If the league ended today, we're safe. Charlton aren't. They're in trouble, we're just not that good. 5 games - 6 points, not great is it. But not the end of the world either, eh?

 

Precisely. It isn't great of course!

Burnley next, no hope of getting anything there as chris eagles will run rings around us!

 

Notts forest is a big game though and a must win for us to gain 3 vital points.

I thought it was just super. The way we passed to each other and managed to not have a single chance all game was wonderful. Well done boys. And especially you Lloyd James. In fact he sums this team up. ****ing weak and massively overrated. These kids are supposed to be talented. Not from what i'm seeing.

 

BWP, Pearce, Lancashire, James, McGoldrick, Robertson are all woeful.

Still nothing of substance from the usual "it will be ok" or it`s improving"

brigade.

 

Ok, here you go.

 

We have a team of mainly academy, youth and reserve players. We are without three of the better of them. Previously they might have played 22 games in a season - they have played 22 in three months. We have a coach who has now had a total of 22 games in the English football. We have strikers on loan who have scored 80 goals between them in three seasons.

 

We have no money.

 

We are trying to build a football ethos and approach.

 

Like anyone in this position we are struggling.

 

Now, brains, what's your brilliant solution?

 

And those of us who saw this coming and still enjoy the challenge are not some sort of morons. Just people who know that making omelettes means broken eggs and just occasionally setting fire to the hob... and have learned that patience is sometimes the most important virtue in life, let alone football.

There you go.

That does nothing to prove "it will be OK" or "it's improving" - just goes to show how close to the edge we are.

As the season goes on I get more & more worried.

Toothless up front, light weight in midfield & soft in defence - Not a good recipe.

I hope we are better at Burnley on Saturday - they are in form & we could get a hammering.

But then again we play better against the better sides!

Until Akinbiyi comes on as sub.

Is that why we are going down to league one?

It was only a couple of weeks ago that we beat Reading away from home. We are inconsistent not consistently ****e.

 

I would quit while you are ahead mate. I used to respect your views but tonight you are looking like King Canute!

On train back from the game. We were poor but it was suicidal defending that undid us. Let a team score two in the first 15 mins at home and they then just sit back just like away sides at SMS and of course we can't break them down.

We did look like we could score in the first half but the second half was drivel from both sides.

Not sure anyone played that great for us (James maybe before the howler) but particular low marks for rudi, DMG, pearce and wotton.

Good attempt by our fans at end of first half....and that is about it for the positives.

The boss at Northern Rock said similar just days before it all fell in on top of him.

Hypo you never give up....Can you play striker or am I just full of drivel.

Wow, what a truly original put-down.:rolleyes:

 

 

Hard for you to see from that basement, but we do have players with heart - if not latent talent. But that would spoil your delerious vision of impending doom... if nothing this season you cannot accuse the vast majority of our lads of not trying 100% every game. It might not be good enough, it wouldn't be their fault.

Most of the comments on here are about as knee-jerk as all the "we'll walk this league" stuff after we beat Reading. The truth is in the middle, were not that good and were not that bad - its a fight between about 6 clubs and lower mid table, with a season of gained experience, and financial survival, will be success.

As sad as I feel about things seeing yet another of your posts makes it worse. I have never seen a positive post from you. I remember the anti Burley sentiments well enough......I conclude that in some perverse way you LIKE it when Saints are as they are now, really up against it.

Is that all you've got ?

 

The unshaking belief they are giving 100% ?

 

Guess what ? Its not enough.

Solutions/alternatives have been posted on here many times by lots of posters

so i don`t intend to waste time posting them again, instead i will bury

my head in the sand and hope when i pull it out it will all be rosy.

 

But of course in reality it will be far from it.

Oh boy, that was a*se gravy in its purest form. Don't remember forcing their goalie into making one real save. Absolute sh*te. Glad I was watching in a bar in Scotland where no one gives a sh*t.

 

As for the players themselves...

 

Davis - 5 Didn't do much except get the ball out the net 3 times. In no-man's land for the first, nowhere near the second and little he could do about the third.

 

James - 3 Absolute toilet. Slow, short, made mistakes, none-entity going forward... it's like having Jermaine Wright back again. Just can't handle long balls over his head at all. Absolute howler for their third just to round it off.

 

Pearce - 3 Deserved to go off. Was being pushed for the first, but had the strength of a fairy. Also struggled with long balls and there was just chaos whenever anything went between him and James.

 

Perry - 6 Appaling for the first 20 minutes, seemed to wake up a bit after that. Reliable enough second half.

 

Skacel - 8 MOTM. Absolutely brilliant diving tackle to prevent a goal after 50s. Made 2 more great tackles to deny players through on goal, including one off a Palace players feet, 1 yard out after 80 mins (he was offside anyway). Some decent crosses and was the player best possitioned to score on at least 2 occasions first half. You really can't ask for much more from a LB.

 

Lallana - 6 Flattered to decieve. Plenty of running at players and fancy footwork, but I can't remember any crosses and only 1 shot, which was going weak, wide, outside the box and covered by the 'keeper.

 

Surman - 7 Good passer, but didn't really create much.Probably our best midfielder today.

 

Cork - 7 Solid enough in midfield first half, although most Palace long balls went well over the midfield. Much better than Pearce second half.

 

BWP - 6 Good running at players and a few tricks, but never looked like scoring.

 

DMG - 3 Sh*t. I can't really expand on that.

 

Robertson - 3 As above. Send him back. Apart from the goal at Norwich, this guy has been as effective as cardboard plumbing. Play Pato instead.

 

 

Subs:

 

Wotton - 4 Forgot he was the pitch until he put a shot well wide after 70 mins. I guess that means he didn't make any glaring errors either.

 

Mills - 6 Looked like he had something in him, but never really ha mch chance to show what he can do in an already beaten Saints side.

 

Ref - 4 Didn't seem to object to Kuqi using Pearce as a punchbag and ignore what looked like a penalty for DMG after 4 mins.

I hope that posting that drivel at least made you feel a bit better.

 

Does the fact that I was spot-on about Burley have no bearing on how you view my posts ?

Another sad night

Pretty possession at times, gave the ball away too easily

Totally no end product at all in the final third

Lallana was not really noticeable at all - maybe we wouldn't miss him much

We must hold onto Surman

Please let one of our goalscorers come back - we could so do with a Beattie or phillips right now but Stern John or Saga would make such a difference!
