Bad Wolf Posted 27 January, 2018 Posted 27 January, 2018 Wow Pellegrino did his best to lose that. Absolute t1t. A win's a win though.
Pamplemousse Posted 27 January, 2018 Posted 27 January, 2018 Good to win but christ, Pellegrino at it again with his disastrous defensive tactics.
striker Posted 27 January, 2018 Posted 27 January, 2018 If our CB's can keep scoring we may keep moving on
Suhari Posted 27 January, 2018 Posted 27 January, 2018 A win is a win. Even though clown MoPe tried to out-coach himself. He's a ****ing idiot. Seriously without a clue. Though a win is a win.
obelisk Posted 27 January, 2018 Posted 27 January, 2018 Same old story apart from conceding a late equaliser. Just.
OttawaSaint Posted 27 January, 2018 Posted 27 January, 2018 Saints won, but ugh, I’m still very nervous for the BHA game. Murray would have buried that header at the end.
patred44 Posted 27 January, 2018 Posted 27 January, 2018 should have used his hand instead of his head:rolleyes:
hypochondriac Posted 27 January, 2018 Posted 27 January, 2018 Absolutely take the win but appaling negative tactics inviting pressure onto us once again. What on earth is the manager playing at? You can guarantee we will do this again this season and will lose yet more points because of it. It has to stop and if we are resolved to sticking with the manager then someone needs to have a word with him to prevent it from happening. It's absolutely maddening!
Ohio Saint Posted 27 January, 2018 Posted 27 January, 2018 I'm disgusted by this win........That just seems so weird to say.
James Posted 27 January, 2018 Posted 27 January, 2018 We’ve still got a poor manager who did his best to lose that. Jesus.
BotleySaint Posted 27 January, 2018 Posted 27 January, 2018 I'm not a massive fan of dropping deep but when the players are constantly fluffing it up the other end, it's wise to tighten up in the last 10. Good win. Except it wasn't the last 10. It was the last 23 minutes when we were on the front foot.
SuperSAINT Posted 27 January, 2018 Posted 27 January, 2018 - Good to win. - Good to get a clean sheet. - Good to get revenge for the handball. - Questionable defensive tactics - See above - Bad injury to Berty with the fixtures to come. - Slightly wonky balance to the side.
Saint_Ash Posted 27 January, 2018 Posted 27 January, 2018 Lolz at first thought is to get manager out instead of cheering on the win. A good cup run would be good for us, hopefully breeds confidence going in to the Brighton game.
Jack Posted 27 January, 2018 Posted 27 January, 2018 Listened to the 2nd half on the way home. I don’t think I’ve heard Blackmore and Merrington slate any manager as much as that. Pellegrino is a f*cking moron and needs to be sacked ASAP. Shame it’s not going to happen.

Pamplemousse Posted 27 January, 2018 Posted 27 January, 2018 Unfortunately, Pellegrino will probably see that as justification for his tactics and will do the same thing against Brighton when we go 1-0 up. What an idiot.
patred44 Posted 27 January, 2018 Posted 27 January, 2018 it's the cup...and despite the manager, we march on
Disco Stu Posted 27 January, 2018 Posted 27 January, 2018 Didn't follow the game, but these comments look worrying.
niceandfriendly Posted 27 January, 2018 Posted 27 January, 2018 He did his best to f*ck that up, what a nut case. Concerned for Brighton now. Good to go through though, we'll get to the semi finals.
Saint_Ash Posted 27 January, 2018 Posted 27 January, 2018 I'm not a massive fan of dropping deep but when the players are constantly fluffing it up the other end, it's wise to tighten up in the last 10. Good win. Exactly. I'm sure the manager wasn't screaming at the players to sit deep, but he needs to tell them to step up.
Saint Billy Posted 27 January, 2018 Posted 27 January, 2018 Well, its a win, other than that....utter meh as we have a complete thicko as a manager.
saint1977 Posted 27 January, 2018 Posted 27 January, 2018 Wednesday night has to be the crowd and players united and if Pellegrino s hits the bed again he has to stopped and throughly undermined. Forget OWTS, the second half needs to be chanting ‘attack’, thousands of us, push the players forward and override his instructions
Colinjb Posted 27 January, 2018 Posted 27 January, 2018 The manager is not learning. Victory despite his best efforts.
Saint Pete Posted 27 January, 2018 Posted 27 January, 2018 Well it’s a win but just about as unconvincing as it could possibly be. Manager’s input once again completely surrendered the initiative and we were hanging on in a game we should have been comfortable in. He will clearly never learn. Please Les - sack him now. It’s our only chance of staying up irrespective of who we sign in the next few days.
hypochondriac Posted 27 January, 2018 Posted 27 January, 2018 What this sort of result does make a mockery of is those posters who are intent on saying the players are primarily to blame for our situation. These players set up properly and coached correctly should be nowhere near the relegation zone. This negative approach is the reason we have been so poor this season and I see no reason why it won't continue for the foreseeable future.
John B Posted 27 January, 2018 Posted 27 January, 2018 You might not like the tactics but they worked and we won However I would like to know why the manager did not bring on Lemina instead of Yoshi perhaps there was concern if Pied was playing at LB
Pamplemousse Posted 27 January, 2018 Posted 27 January, 2018 Wigan at home in the next round, let's give Paul Cook a pleasant reception...
striker Posted 27 January, 2018 Posted 27 January, 2018 Can't see Gabbi staying on much longer. He'll be pushed down even further when Austin returns. I don't understand why Long is selected over him. It seems a clear case of deciding on a formation and then forcing your players to fit, rather than looking at the talents of the squad and putting in the best formation to win.
Saint Albert Posted 27 January, 2018 Posted 27 January, 2018 Unfortunately, Pellegrino will probably see that as justification for his tactics and will do the same thing against Brighton when we go 1-0 up. What an idiot. That’s my worry.
hypochondriac Posted 27 January, 2018 Posted 27 January, 2018 You might not like the tactics but they worked and we won However I would like to know why the manager did not bring on Lemina instead of Yoshi perhaps there was concern if Pied was playing at LBA positive result doesn't automatically mean that the tactics worked. Imo we won despite those tactics and could very easily have drawn or lost once we surrendered the initiative as we have so often this season. A positive result in no way masks those fundamental failings.
Red Posted 27 January, 2018 Posted 27 January, 2018 Pellegrino out Board made their gamble and it has not worked - they have to act now and get rid or be 100% responsible for the consequences - relegation. Simple sack MoPe or the whole board (and clown of course) if we get relegated.
stknowle Posted 27 January, 2018 Posted 27 January, 2018 A win is a win. Even though clown MoPe tried to out-coach himself. He's a ****ing idiot. Seriously without a clue. Though a win is a win. It is, but it's a scraped win against a team bang out of form that we were on top of and that he decided to meekly handed the initiative to in his usual lame manner. I cannot stand this manager, we are either going to go down or just scrape survival under him.
captainchris Posted 27 January, 2018 Posted 27 January, 2018 Exactly. I'm sure the manager wasn't screaming at the players to sit deep, but he needs to tell them to step up. Are you serious !!! Of the Manager is managing the team and the disruptive, defensive substitution changes! It’s not the tea lady is it????
hypochondriac Posted 27 January, 2018 Posted 27 January, 2018 It is, but it's a scraped win against a team bang out of form that we were on top of and that he decided to meekly handed the initiative to in his usual lame manner. I cannot stand this manager, we are either going to go down or just scrape survival under him.And possibly go through the entire season without a really convincing 90 minutes in any game. Even our Everton win didn't have that and owed more to how terrible they were than anything else.
Pamplemousse Posted 27 January, 2018 Posted 27 January, 2018 A couple of the Watford players had a bit of an altercation with the fans after the game apparently. Did anyone at the game see what happened?
Plumstead_Saint Posted 27 January, 2018 Posted 27 January, 2018 Glad of the win. Hope RB coming off was a precaution. Any feedback from people who saw the game - as opposed to hearing Dave Merrington's view of it?
View From The Top Posted 27 January, 2018 Posted 27 January, 2018 He is such a sh_it manager and will get us relegated.
conaero Posted 27 January, 2018 Posted 27 January, 2018 Wow Pellegrino did his best to lose that. Absolute t1t. A win's a win though. That’s how I saw it too. Going defensive when your 1:0 up and dominating. That’s my mind made up he’s tactically inept, get shot of him.
Pamplemousse Posted 27 January, 2018 Posted 27 January, 2018 Fickle fans Huh? If we were suddenly praising the manager then that would make sense.
patred44 Posted 27 January, 2018 Posted 27 January, 2018 at least we didn't allow their manager to get off to a flying start
Saint Matty 76 Posted 27 January, 2018 Posted 27 January, 2018 Fickle would imply that people had suddenly taken a liking to Pellegrino. It was obvious to anyone that we're still not getting anywhere, a draw against another big side didn't change that at all. Wish they'd get rid of him before these next two vital games but obviously that won't happen.
