NewYorkSaint Posted 18 January, 2020 Share 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...?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batman Posted 18 January, 2020 Share 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwertyell Posted 18 January, 2020 Share 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.

Manuel Posted 18 January, 2020 Share 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!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sydney_saint Posted 18 January, 2020 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SNSUN Posted 18 January, 2020 Share 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macca155 Posted 18 January, 2020 Share Posted 18 January, 2020 Wolves are no mugs, they are marking Ings tightly and really harassing Prowse. They've done their homework.

Sheaf Saint Posted 18 January, 2020 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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?

nta786 Posted 18 January, 2020 Share Posted 18 January, 2020 Yeah that feels more normal. This^ The Southampton Way.
