Saints v Stoke match thread

We'll lose this game, mark my words.

 

Wouldn't surprise me at all, its what we do, what we've always done. Win three nil away and then follow that up with a loss against a team with a shocking away record. Second half will demonstrate just how much bottle we have, should be interesting.

We scored two goals, but that was poor first half. Wind is having a negative effect on our passing while Stoke have caught on to the fact that higher passes into a constantly changing wind are difficult to defend. Stoke deserve the draw at least right now.

 

Their first was shocking from the CBs and Boruc, Fonte tried to play offside, Maya tried to track Odemwingie and Boruc was miles too far out.

Second was again poor decision making from Boruc combined with the man on the post just wandering off

 

Lallana has been kept quiet and Rodriguez, while his pace in behind has made their CBs work, has been awful on the ball.

 

2nd half, I would wait until the hour and then get Isgrove on, play the ball higher and see if Isgrove and Rodriguez can't use their to get behind their back line.

Based on some of the comments on here, there doesn't seem any point in the Saints coming out for the second half....there is 45 minutes of football to be played and we tend to dominate in the second half....I would expect Stoke to play "19th Century" football in the second half...we'll be ok and win this 4-2.

Am normally at the game but right now am in Cape Town and can only follow this match thread.

Amazed at how negative and Skatelike some of the comments are !

How can anyone LoL when we concede ??

 

Ah you kinda need to see it. Boruc double handed throwdown into his own net is the best description
