doddisalegend Posted 20 April, 2015 Posted 20 April, 2015 Saints easily the better side Reed looks class but I like the look of Mugabi (Sp?) on the right wing.
Yuki Posted 20 April, 2015 Posted 20 April, 2015 Amazed Hesketh hasnt been picked in the England age group teams.
Edmonton Saint Posted 20 April, 2015 Posted 20 April, 2015 Shame that players like Hesketh, Seager and Reed have had their first team squad opportunities limited by us wasting our time on the loan signings of Delia and Djuricic. Would much rather have one of these kids on the bench as an option rather than those two overrated chaps.
farawaysaint Posted 20 April, 2015 Posted 20 April, 2015 Do away goals count? Are we going to have to beware losing to a fluke equaliser?

Koeman doesn't seem to trust Reed though. I thought the game against Stoke would see Reed step up but Koeman played Toby instead
Lallana's Left Peg Posted 20 April, 2015 Posted 20 April, 2015 Do away goals count? Are we going to have to beware losing to a fluke equaliser? No, they don't count. I can't work out if Blackburn are just clumsy or a step behind fitness / speed wise, but they are big lumps who really leave their mark on the opposition when they foul.

Dark Munster Posted 20 April, 2015 Posted 20 April, 2015 1-1. If tied does it go to extra time or straight to penalties?
Suhari Posted 20 April, 2015 Posted 20 April, 2015 Been a while since we saw a rocket like that at St Marys.
Patrick Bateman Posted 20 April, 2015 Posted 20 April, 2015 Sam Gallagher that is one hell of a goal:DBrilliant goal, we've lacked someone who can do that in the first team this year ... (yes yes yes before someone boring says about more space and time at the U21 level)
SNSUN Posted 20 April, 2015 Posted 20 April, 2015 Anyone else having trouble with SaintsWeb opening? Anyway cracking goal from Gallagher. And Seager's was decent too. What was Harrison Reed sent off for? I missed it.Fifteen minutes left, and I finally have control of my TV so can watch it.
Batman Posted 20 April, 2015 Posted 20 April, 2015 Yeah, seems really slow. Either on tapatalk or the full website
Pancake Posted 20 April, 2015 Posted 20 April, 2015 Anyone else having trouble with SaintsWeb opening? I'm using Tapatalk and it's been terrible all evening.

Timing out sometimes but all the other (different site) pages I have open I'm having no problem with.
Bobbyboy Posted 20 April, 2015 Posted 20 April, 2015 I have no idea on the rules, but does that red card affect Harry's availability for Spurs? Without Wanyama and presumably Toby already...
trousers Posted 20 April, 2015 Posted 20 April, 2015 Revelation of the night.... Gazza looks like he's turned into a decent keeper...

stevegrant Posted 20 April, 2015 Posted 20 April, 2015 Yeah, seems really slow. Either on tapatalk or the full website The company that runs the data centre that hosts our server has been having intermittent issues all day. Can't say I'm particularly happy about it.
david in sweden Posted 20 April, 2015 Posted 20 April, 2015 Revelation of the night.... Gazza looks like he's turned into a decent keeper... Mmm...I thought that , too...
VectisSaint Posted 20 April, 2015 Posted 20 April, 2015 Anyone else having trouble with SaintsWeb opening? Anyway cracking goal from Gallagher. And Seager's was decent too. What was Harrison Reed sent off for? I missed it.Fifteen minutes left, and I finally have control of my TV so can watch it. Reed got two yellows for two very rash challenges. Very lucky boy that his teammates got him out of trouble. Super strike from Sam Gallagher, he was so different after he moved inside and went up front once Seager was taken off. Seager's goal also good strike, though he got a bit lucky when Reed's pile driver cannoned off him. Thought nearly everyone looked good tonight, but credit to Blackburn, they have some very good players, especially given that many of them are u18s. Pity the forum has been crap tonight, still seems like Steve is aware.
SaintLiam Posted 20 April, 2015 Posted 20 April, 2015 has it also not been picked up how devilishly handsome Gazza is?
stevegrant Posted 20 April, 2015 Posted 20 April, 2015 Lots of impressive performances tonight, I thought. Gazzaniga looked like the goalkeeper we thought we'd signed when we paid £2m for him, commanded his area superbly (apart from one iffy decision in the first half) and made potentially tricky saves look routine. Special mention to Jason McCarthy, though. An absolute rock at the back
Viking Warrior Posted 20 April, 2015 Posted 20 April, 2015 Well done the lads . I enjoyed watching that
Sour Mash Posted 20 April, 2015 Posted 20 April, 2015 I really enjoyed that, good battle and lots of good performances. Not sure what sort of quality that Blackburn team really were though.
Bad Wolf Posted 20 April, 2015 Posted 20 April, 2015 Proud of the lads tonight. Especially with how well they coped with going down to 10 men. I thought every single player was excellent, there's nobody that didn't have a good game from the keeper to the strikers. Deserved win. Great celebrations after as well. Brilliant evening out. Well done, lads.
stockportsaint Posted 20 April, 2015 Posted 20 April, 2015 I have no idea on the rules, but does that red card affect Harry's availability for Spurs? Without Wanyama and presumably Toby already... I just tweeted Simon Peach (journalist for AP) to ask him the same question, he said he'd look into it.
Dr Who? Posted 20 April, 2015 Posted 20 April, 2015 First time I have been able to get on here tonight and on cup final day!
Roger Posted 20 April, 2015 Posted 20 April, 2015 I wonder if that is why koeman ihasbt played reed too much as he doesn't trust him. Today's game is different and you can't be rash like thst otherwise you will be constantly down to ten men. System didn't suit Sam g at all. Once he went upfront looked much better. Goalie was better coming for crosses that Forster and Mugabi, the two CBS targett was good.
Saint Charlie Posted 20 April, 2015 Posted 20 April, 2015 Really good watch that and loads of good performances. Hesketh very Lallana like, Seager and Gallagher both a threat and superb goal from Sam. Reed looked like he was trying to dominate a bit too much and if he is suspended for Spurs thats pretty silly. The defence looked good as did Gazza. He really needs a loan spell next year in men's football though to judge him.
Saint Charlie Posted 20 April, 2015 Posted 20 April, 2015 I really enjoyed that, good battle and lots of good performances. Not sure what sort of quality that Blackburn team really were though. Towards the bottom of the league below us (Div 2) according to the TV guy. They didnt really have enough in attack to trouble us.
Leicestersaint Posted 20 April, 2015 Posted 20 April, 2015 Shame that players like Hesketh, Seager and Reed have had their first team squad opportunities limited by us wasting our time on the loan signings of Delia and Djuricic. Would much rather have one of these kids on the bench as an option rather than those two overrated chaps. I really do agree with this - Seager should have had much more time on the bench and field for the first team.
redder freak Posted 20 April, 2015 Posted 20 April, 2015 Reed was excellent. Unlucky to get sent off. Play him in the first team (if eligible).
Yoshi Posted 20 April, 2015 Posted 20 April, 2015 Decent performance. The standout players for me were Seager, Hesketh, Mugabi & Reed. Gazzaniga looked like a different player although didn't have to much to do. Both centre backs defended well however I thought their distribution was very poor at times. Gallacher was anonymous when played out wide and was much better when he moved into the more central role.
The Cat Posted 20 April, 2015 Posted 20 April, 2015 Great to see so many people turn up at the ground tonight. Really impressive turnout considering it was on Sky and the first day back at school for kids, and there were a lot of them there. That Gallagher goal was superb. We were sat right behind it and knew as soon as he hit it that it was going in. It obviously meant so much to the players who, on the whole, have come through the youth ranks together for many years. It must have been an amazing feeling for them to win it at home in front of so many fans. Harry Reed was the best player on the pitch until he got sent off. Gallagher looks leaner and fitter. Gazza was solid in goal, his technique seems to have improved no end under Watson. Dom Gape was decent and put in some dangerous corners. Also a big round of applause for Matt Le Tissier who neglected his Sky duties in the front row of the Kingsland corner to tirelessly sign autographs for people in the Northam throughout the game.
Saint Garrett Posted 20 April, 2015 Author Posted 20 April, 2015 Just got back, Hesketh very impressive, thought Gallagher was poor until he want up top. Gazza looked very accomplished, thought our back four looked very dodgy especially McCarthy who I thought was poor,, but a really decent team performance and thoroughly enjoyable evening. Although it's not no 1 target of the youth teams to win trophies, it's always nice
simo Posted 20 April, 2015 Posted 20 April, 2015 Just sat watching the game back , Taters raving about us and our Academy
benjii Posted 20 April, 2015 Posted 20 April, 2015 Just got back, Hesketh very impressive, thought Gallagher was poor until he want up top.

Although it's not no 1 target of the youth teams to win trophies, it's always nice Very odd comment. The back four were all very solid. McCarthy and Wood won everything thrown at them. Their distribution was the only questionable aspect. Mugabi was reserved in the first half but excellent in the second half. Targett was very good. So, basically, you're just wrong I'm afraid.
