Id agree to some respect, but with just one win against the top 10 sides all season tells a different story I know what you mean though. We have a great squad of players, best in my lifetime for sure. Just hope we keep hold of the best players this summer and add 3-4 too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david in sweden Posted 8 March, 2014 Share Posted 8 March, 2014 far better away than I thought (W6 D4 L5 goals 18-16) though don't think we could have done much better, but the home games have let us down (W5 D5 L4 goals 21-19) couldn't see us getting 3 points from the Chelsea or Tottenham games, and too many drawn games at home. We gave up at HT v. Liverpool, but those 5 home draws have cost us. Should have done better from Sunderland, Stoke and West Ham games. Never seen such total domination (77%) v. Villa, but we still managed to lose. If you think we should have been higher in the table, then it's those lost 10 points at home that caused it.

kpturner Posted 8 March, 2014 Share Posted 8 March, 2014 How does his home record stack up, Mr. Campbell ? I don't rally care how his home (or away) record stacks up. What I care about is the fact that we are/were completely safe from relegation in February. Absolutely fantastic season so far wouldn't you say?

NickG Posted 9 March, 2014 Author Share Posted 9 March, 2014 How does his home record stack up, Mr. Campbell ? What a strange reaction, even by your irrational standards. What's your point? He achieved a saints record since prem era, your reaction? Not to enjoy it, talk about how he achieved it, whether it will be bettered? No, nothing positive at all. Instead look to find fault with saints elsewhere, why? Its bizarre this is the only club forum where posters criticise people for being a saints fan. Really don't know why you are here.

OldNick Posted 9 March, 2014 Share Posted 9 March, 2014 It is good to know that when we go away that we have a chance of getting a decent result.

CityRanger Posted 9 March, 2014 Share Posted 9 March, 2014 Our tactics suit away games better it seems. Could be that teams play there own game at home (as you say suits our game) but adapt tactics away against us(long ball/ two up top etc..) Apart from that our strong away support is unwavering which must help the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from that our strong away support is unwavering which must help the team. Palace had the right idea yesterday, just not the quality to execute. They were trying to get the wingers in behind our full backs as we play the high line and allow the full backs to push forward. First half (before our goal) they had a few 50/50 even 60/40 offsides given our way. If they had got the breaks / luck they may have been a greater threat. Palace are quite a poor side quality wise, i dont think a single Palace player would get in our side, but we didnt outplay them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we looked better side the season before WGS (don't dare mention the manager that season but he was clearly better than WGS!). WGS was a good manager for us but, IMHO, over rated due to a single cup run (is Dennis Wise a great manager?) And his sound bites. MP clearly is liked and respected by his players, built great team spirit, play attractive well admired football, innovative, prepares / trains team well and has developed young players, clearly well thought of etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being that MP has got nowhere near that level, I'd happily "go backwards" from that point if we could get there again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
