Leicestersaint Posted 16 December, 2014 Posted 16 December, 2014 We did not have a single shot on target that half - surely Seager would do better than some of these?
Edmonton Saint Posted 16 December, 2014 Posted 16 December, 2014 Ahh Zlatan.. If only he had signed for Saints all those years ago..
BallBoy Posted 16 December, 2014 Posted 16 December, 2014 I am worried that Mane could be sent off but, equally, he has the talent to win this game. Tough call for Koeman but I think he will prefer to keep 11 on the pitch.
Lighthouse Posted 16 December, 2014 Posted 16 December, 2014 Feel bad for anyone who traveled up there to see what looks like a team that is not overly bothered if they win or lose. That's easy to say when things aren't going well. From what I saw there wasn't any real lack of effort, just a lack of creativity and cohesion up front. We're trying but without Pelle and Tadic in their early season form, we just aren't the same team.
the_emu Posted 16 December, 2014 Posted 16 December, 2014 If nothing else if Mane even farts near the ref he'll get a red card, he's that close Yeah, he's such a lightweight will probably blow himself over in the box and get done for simulation
saint1977 Posted 16 December, 2014 Posted 16 December, 2014 Totally grim performance, Mane off for Isgrove he can hardly do any worse. Yep totally. Matt Grimes to Saints with Mane to Exeter in January would be even better if a bit harsh on Exeter. Seriously, I'm not sure he's good enough for L2 on this evidence and recent games. Someone compared him and Papa Waigo - Papa had his faults but he was miles better than this bloke and I watched most of our games home and away in 2009/10. At least he got into dangerous positions despite the offsides and got a few goals. How crud can the Austrian League be? Would prefer to have Antonio to him, not that I think he is PL calibre either. Long has also been dreadful but at least he isn't trying to deliberately get sent off. Gardos has done alright but terrible otherwise. Club needs an active transfer window to get some fresh faces in or use more of the U21s because this lot have been well and truly rumbled.
captainchris Posted 16 December, 2014 Posted 16 December, 2014 You have to justify the 'Black Box' which means Mane, Tadic , and Foster are undroppable ... This is why Koeman will start to lose some respect.... The kids could not be worse so use them !
saints1988 Posted 16 December, 2014 Posted 16 December, 2014 If we had Laurel and Hardy on for Mané and Long at least we'd get a laugh. These two are a joke. Long is fine working fine, mane is ****e though

St Chalet Posted 16 December, 2014 Author Posted 16 December, 2014 Pelle, Tadic and Steve Davis missing from our best XI, it shows.
Saint Benali Posted 16 December, 2014 Posted 16 December, 2014 Playing crap especially Long. Hope Koeman puts a rocket up their ass at HT.
Killers Knee Posted 16 December, 2014 Posted 16 December, 2014 Hopefully our superior athleticism will reap benefits in the latter stages of the 2nd half, premiership pros should monster division 3 shovelfoots in the pace and stamina departments
saint1977 Posted 16 December, 2014 Posted 16 December, 2014 We did not have a single shot on target that half - surely Seager would do better than some of these? Not seen him play but probably. Trouble is, you want to bring players that age into a side going fairly well, asking a lot to make an instant impact when confidence is low. Shaw was an exception in 2012/13 but we might not have much choice with our squad so thin in forward and wide areas.
saint1977 Posted 16 December, 2014 Posted 16 December, 2014 Mane somehow stays on. Give it 10 minutes tops before he is red carded.
Edmonton Saint Posted 16 December, 2014 Posted 16 December, 2014 Isgrove on for Targett wtf? Targett was one of our brighter players that half. Should have been Mane off as he is going to get red carded.. Shocker.
Causer Posted 16 December, 2014 Posted 16 December, 2014 Yep totally. Matt Grimes to Saints with Mane to Exeter in January would be even better if a bit harsh on Exeter. Seriously, I'm not sure he's good enough for L2 on this evidence and recent games. Someone compared him and Papa Waigo - Papa had his faults but he was miles better than this bloke and I watched most of our games home and away in 2009/10.

Long has also been dreadful but at least he isn't trying to deliberately get sent off. Gardos has done alright but terrible otherwise. Club needs an active transfer window to get some fresh faces in or use more of the U21s because this lot have been well and truly rumbled. Agreed Grimes is an excellent player with a fantastic footballing brain even at a young age, Mane is all pace with no end product and is actually getting worse with each game. Don't like to get on players backs, but he really is hopeless.
ART Posted 16 December, 2014 Posted 16 December, 2014 Who could he play other than Long though? I'd like to see Mane come off, put JWP in that position and put Toby in the midfield. We should have planned for Ryan Seager. He's small but does score goals.
SB Posted 16 December, 2014 Posted 16 December, 2014 Que a mane goal, like Ramirez Osvaldo he's got the ability to create something out of nowhere ( and also the ability to be **** for 90 minutes)
broken spoke Posted 16 December, 2014 Posted 16 December, 2014 Super Steve.... with Morgan, and Vic is when we pwn the mid field.... in a tough, gritty game like this..
Edmonton Saint Posted 16 December, 2014 Posted 16 December, 2014 We should have planned for Ryan Seager. He's small but does score goals. I agree Art. Would rather have Seager coming on than Mayuka.. He can't do any worse that clown.
Lighthouse Posted 16 December, 2014 Posted 16 December, 2014 You have to justify the 'Black Box' which means Mane, Tadic , and Foster are undroppable ... This is why Koeman will start to lose some respect.... The kids could not be worse so use them ! Why so people say this based on absolutely nothing. The coaches who watch these players every day don't think they are ready for first team action yet. Throwing some bright young prospect into a game like this and watching him getting battered by some League 1 clogger isn't going to do him our us any good. It's the sort of thing Redknapp used to do to prove his squad was 'bare bones innit'.
Dalek2003 Posted 16 December, 2014 Posted 16 December, 2014 Really need to sign some good players in January.
Batman Posted 16 December, 2014 Posted 16 December, 2014 we have turned into the side that the pundits and media predicted we would be in august
broken spoke Posted 16 December, 2014 Posted 16 December, 2014 We should have put out our best team to make sure we got to the semi finals..... this is were it gets serious.
broken spoke Posted 16 December, 2014 Posted 16 December, 2014 i can't see any of our Saints magic, we had at the start of the season.... our moral can't be that poor
Dalek2003 Posted 16 December, 2014 Posted 16 December, 2014 we have turned into the side that the pundits and media predicted we would be in august Why ? What has happened ?
OttawaSaint Posted 16 December, 2014 Posted 16 December, 2014 We should have put out our best team to make sure we got to the semi finals..... this is were it gets serious. This is our best team. Pellè suspended, cork injured, Tadiç and Davis carrying a knock. Who else would you have selected?
Viking Warrior Posted 16 December, 2014 Posted 16 December, 2014 Well done foster , a world class save
Monk Posted 16 December, 2014 Posted 16 December, 2014 I cannot believe he has just claimed that was Sheffield United singing!!!!!
Dalek2003 Posted 16 December, 2014 Posted 16 December, 2014 Forster ....brilliant save ! Making Sheffiled look like Chelski
S-Clarke Posted 16 December, 2014 Posted 16 December, 2014 Easily best chance of the game, and that's a great save.
Suhari Posted 16 December, 2014 Posted 16 December, 2014 Easily best chance of the game, and that's a great save. Isn't he **** though?
Saintandy666 Posted 16 December, 2014 Posted 16 December, 2014 They are staying in this via fouling our players. Patience and we will win this I reckon.
Saints foreva Posted 16 December, 2014 Posted 16 December, 2014 Lucky again. Forster with another save.
Saintandy666 Posted 16 December, 2014 Posted 16 December, 2014 Although having said that they've had a couple of decent chances now.
pangy Posted 16 December, 2014 Posted 16 December, 2014 When we are poor,we are awful. I can see us losing this
broken spoke Posted 16 December, 2014 Posted 16 December, 2014 something is building... take the pressure..
BotleySaint Posted 16 December, 2014 Posted 16 December, 2014 Forster keeping us in it at the moment. What has happened to our team?
