NewYorkSaint Posted 18 January, 2020 Posted 18 January, 2020 Such a joy to watch Saints. Their level of aggression and determination, and the skill with which they apply it, is thrilling to see, and must be pretty distressing for opponents. Then, unlike earlier in the season, when we win the ball, we're moving it forward really quickly. Hoj, JWP, Armstrong showing fantastic quick-touch passing. Cedric has been lethal. Seeing Shane Long score is big boost too. A slight gain in his confidence and poise in front of goal, and there could be a lot more to come. We absolutely look like a team who deserves to be in Europe. I hope we avoid mistakes/complacency/misfortune and continue with this second half. another goal or two and a clean sheet would have us all dreaming dreaming... How good does it feel to watch games and feel like we felt when Poch and Koeman were here...?!
Batman Posted 18 January, 2020 Posted 18 January, 2020 Oh and I assume the people who said the players aren't good enough and we're definitely down now accept they're reactionary fools and leagues aren't decided in November right? Hello? agree. Its like those who said 17th is the very best we could hope for and there was nothing else Ralph could do with this squad....(which still needs much work)
qwertyell Posted 18 January, 2020 Posted 18 January, 2020 Funny game - don't think we've played well at all, but two-up is not to be sneezed at. Jiminez has missed a couple, though. Fingers crossed we don't give him an early sniff in the second half and the match peters out. I worry about Prowse getting a second yellow. Whether it's the miles he's covered lately or what, he's been arriving late to every 50:50 today. Don't think Long has completed a single pass, but more than happy for his all round game to be useless if he pops up with his goal for the year. Sent from my F3311 using Tapatalk
Manuel Posted 18 January, 2020 Posted 18 January, 2020 And who said Cedric can't cross.....apart from me a dozen times. They're all pulling it out of the bag!!
sydney_saint Posted 18 January, 2020 Posted 18 January, 2020 This all feels very wrong and uncomfortable. I can only hope we collapse second half so I can feel normal again. Seriously though, surely Wolves will have more second half. Seen then lots and they just don't get beaten easily. But maybe/hopefully they're just running on empty now. Next goal vital, come on Ings finish them off. Normally I would think this but their bench looks terrible which will majorly hinder any come back or even fight. It must be one of the worst benches I've seen from a top half club in a while. So it really needs to be one of the players on the pitch is gonna step up and terrorise us, but they look pretty gassed out.

Hello? look, I never said our players were not good enough or we are going down....But seriously, you are trying to big yourself up this way? You never said anything in the heat of a defeat? Honestly, that was a pathetic post.

Hello?It's been three years (and counting) since we got 40 points. Define reactionary. Sent from my F3311 using Tapatalk
SNSUN Posted 18 January, 2020 Posted 18 January, 2020 I missed most of that first half due to being shoved pillar to post at work, but I have a mate keeping me up to date with the scoreline. 2-0 up and Ings not yet on the scoresheet! Lovely stuff - a third should put this to bed surely! As long as we don't do anything Saintsy, this will be a fantastic 3 points if we can get it, and should banish all worries of relegation battles from our heads. Norwich beating Bournemouth would make it an even better day. Still, a long 45 minutes to come...

Hello?Tbf this drastic change in form is fairly unprecedented. A record defeat and then an absolutely stunning vein of form.
macca155 Posted 18 January, 2020 Posted 18 January, 2020 Wolves are no mugs, they are marking Ings tightly and really harassing Prowse. They've done their homework. Even more credit for the scoreline COYS Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk
adrian lord Posted 18 January, 2020 Posted 18 January, 2020 This is a big second-half coming up and we must not be complacent. They don’t say two-nil is the most dangerous scoreline for nothing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
hasper57saint Posted 18 January, 2020 Posted 18 January, 2020 Looking forward to the second half. Determination and aggression is paying dividends at last. Let's get at least two more lads.
Sheaf Saint Posted 18 January, 2020 Posted 18 January, 2020 Well this is a novelty. Seeing Saints 2-0 up going into the second half and not feeling it necessary to lump a huge sum on an insurance bet.
Sheaf Saint Posted 18 January, 2020 Posted 18 January, 2020 I've been critical of Redmond this season, as I don't think he has really contributed what we know he is capable of. But that bit of skill to get free and cross for Long was exquisite. More of the same please Nathan.
Bad Wolf Posted 18 January, 2020 Posted 18 January, 2020 Well this is a novelty. Seeing Saints 2-0 up going into the second half and not feeling it necessary to lump a huge sum on an insurance bet. Me nether. Wolves 33/1 and I still don't wanna waste the fiver just yet. On another note, did anyone else notice how the commentator just made the very finely tuned point that Saints fans would be more comfortable if we were 6-0 up than we would do if we were 2-1 up? Oh here we ****ing go...
jasonb Posted 18 January, 2020 Posted 18 January, 2020 Let's see if the recent confidence can stay with the lads. They have covered a lot of ground recently though.
Mr X Posted 18 January, 2020 Posted 18 January, 2020 Game on! We will either collapse now or park the bus Sent from my moto g(7) play using Tapatalk
Sheaf Saint Posted 18 January, 2020 Posted 18 January, 2020 Mess. Bednarek had to bring him down. It was Stephens who backed out of that. Stuck a foot out to try and clear but tried too hard not to give away a foul and got nothing on it.
benjii Posted 18 January, 2020 Posted 18 January, 2020 It was Stephens who backed out of that. Stuck a foot out to try and clear but tried too hard not to give away a foul and got nothing on it. It was Bednarek who slid in on Traore.
nta786 Posted 18 January, 2020 Posted 18 January, 2020 Yeah that feels more normal. This^ The Southampton Way. Of course if we win this with the remaining scoreline we’d be over the moon but by no means do they make it easy- a mini scare for the next 35 minutes- just what the doctor ordered
jasonb Posted 18 January, 2020 Posted 18 January, 2020 I know every supporter says this but it really wouldn't be Saints if we did it the easy way. Too early for nuns????

Sheaf Saint Posted 18 January, 2020 Posted 18 January, 2020 Got to be a penalty. I'd be fuming if that was the other way round and not given.

GDog07 Posted 18 January, 2020 Posted 18 January, 2020 Ah dear, I’m gutted, but I knew this day would eventually come. If we take nothing from this game now I’ll be devastated.

Sheaf Saint Posted 18 January, 2020 Posted 18 January, 2020 Now we find out what the lads are made of. Will we push and score a winner or will we crumble?
sydney_saint Posted 18 January, 2020 Posted 18 January, 2020 Come on defenders, stay on your feet and be calmer. That's both goals from diving in too much
mrfahaji Posted 18 January, 2020 Posted 18 January, 2020 Sounds like man of the moment Stephens is having a good day
Heisenberg Posted 18 January, 2020 Posted 18 January, 2020 When SFC lead 2-0 you jump on 2-2 before celebrating standard
