You have to love the OS bullsh*t machine though...

lordswoodsaints Posted 20 December, 2008 Posted 20 December, 2008 i cant make up my mind if forest are a good team or we made them look good,what i can be sure about is that forest did their homework.

I don't think they were particularly good, more that we were particularly shocking!!!!! As for your second point, I think you're spot on, as they had done their homework, pressed us and rendered us totally impotent. Once again, we were totally incapable (or is it unwilling) to change our shape and try something different. Did their keeper make a save???
Dalek2003 Posted 20 December, 2008 Posted 20 December, 2008 Lloyd James is a very very poor player as I have said MANY times before.

Did their keeper make a save??? only shot near enough to him was Surmans that hit the post. glad to see their is no MOM Poll, Davis could be the first 100% winner
Chap in the Chapel Posted 20 December, 2008 Posted 20 December, 2008 Forest had done their homework. They came realising that if you get in our faces our short-passing game breaks down quickly because we lack the technical ability. It is then that they can work out how to score themselves. Additionally, they also knew that as our players are physically weak all you have to do is lean on them and we will lose the ball. That takes care of defending against us. Ten teams have done this at St Mary's so far this season - one would think that our managerial team might have done something about it before now.
harvey Posted 20 December, 2008 Posted 20 December, 2008 perhaps it would be a good thing for JP to put on another father christmas hat & jump on a plane.......or maybe go to a few more 'local' pubs ???.....we may win a few more games !

Greenridge Posted 20 December, 2008 Posted 20 December, 2008 As probably the one player who could give DMG a run for being the most consitently poorest player of the season he seems a strange choice to be quoting in this time of need. Clearly many things are wrong but I don't believe either James or DMG can possibly be as poor as their performances suggest they are. I don't know if it's a lack of confidence, or the step up has just been to great for them to bridge, or they're playing out of position, or lacking in coaching I don't know but it's all adding up to this sorry state of affairs.

Exactly, and if a couple of thickos like you and me can spot it so easily, then it's no wonder what proper CCC managers can suss us out so easily!!!!!!!! Total Football, my fcckucikng ar5543e

The Reading game now looks even more like a fluke and it ****es me off everytime i hear Jan/Wilde or Lowe mention the game like we are some sort of awesome team. The Man Utd game will be very very embarassing for us.

eelpie Posted 20 December, 2008 Posted 20 December, 2008 "We didn't have enough power to give them a difficult time " Really? Well I never.

We got two goals back against Burnley, donchaknow ? The fact they were coasting/sleeping at 3-0 up seems to have been largely disregarded.... I hate this ridiculous English "underdog/gallant loser" boollocks, where we can forget a result as long as the opposing manager makes a compliment to the press about our ability to play the ball in pretty triangles...

Total Football, my fcckucikng ar5543e The problem is that we try to play football in the wrong areas. I'm all in favour of the short-passing malarkey in the final third, but we have to get the ball forward faster in order to do it, and the player receiving it up front has to be able to hold it up. John could do this, Rasiak could too. THEN we could build without having to worry about losing the ball and the opposition being in on goal immediately. Poortvliet doesn't learn from his mistakes, is evidently unwilling to change his methods and is not, I'm afraid, competent enough to manage at this level.
Leslie Charteris Posted 20 December, 2008 Posted 20 December, 2008 That stuff on the OS will not change until his lordship stops running the club as his personal fiefdom.
