Manuel Posted 21 January, 2020 Posted 21 January, 2020 Considering the defensive problems....well you wouldn't think we had any. Riding our luck though.
Shroppie Posted 21 January, 2020 Author Posted 21 January, 2020 Top half? With this squad? "Madness"To be fair, it's what we were hoping for pre-season. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk
saint1977 Posted 21 January, 2020 Posted 21 January, 2020 One of the best displays of the season. Hope Cédric injury not serious, but JWP did superbly v Zaha who lost it and was still shouting stuff at the end of the game, presumably at his own team this time. Redmond best game of the season and Armstrong on a great run of form, adds so much mobility. Even Vest recovered from the early shocker. Great reaction from Sat’s shocker but Wolves looked a decent side even at 2-0 down. Palace are a strong side away but not quite as decent at home, a bit like us. That was very impressive tonight, well done Ralph and the lads and happy journey home for our fans.
pimpin4rizeal Posted 21 January, 2020 Posted 21 January, 2020 Awesome performance great energy levels all night Armstrong my motm.. superb goal great use of the ball. But many good performances.. probably redmonds best of the season.. jwp was superb. Love the nasty streak he’s getting was keeping Zaha in his pocket whilst also winding him up and trying to get a reaction from him again
bpsaint Posted 21 January, 2020 Posted 21 January, 2020 Buzzing - massive win, love doing them ****s away after the way their players behaved at St Mary’s, especially that knobhead Zaha. Loved Prowsey playing the pantomime villain again, seems to add an extra edge to his game. Fair play to Vest for recovering from that earlier error to be pretty solid throughout - replacement RB would be nice, no more make shift solution, must be someone available on loan, what’s Clyne up to?
Hamilton Saint Posted 21 January, 2020 Posted 21 January, 2020 I'm elated. Superb effort for the entire ninety minutes. Total team performance. Great work from Bertrand, Stephens, Redmond, Ward-Prowse, and Armstrong. Hope to see this continue.
DT Posted 21 January, 2020 Posted 21 January, 2020 Well done Saints. Fantastico. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Disco Stu Posted 21 January, 2020 Posted 21 January, 2020 I hope Cedric is ok considering we're not getting any right-back cover this window.
Baird of the land Posted 21 January, 2020 Posted 21 January, 2020 Not sure how the ref managed to end up booking more saints players. Loved jwp getting into zaha’s Head. Especially that late perfectly timed crunching tackle. Hopefully vestergaard will stick to doing simple stuff which he did very well. Let our ball playing center back Stephens do the fancy stuff. Speaking of which some of his first half passes were lovely. No clue why palace didn’t play ayew up top, he’s no winger. Hopefully we can keep up performance levels at weekend. It’s a bizarre league. Anyone could get dragged back into relegation mix as it stands.
Sidney Fudpucker the 3rd Posted 21 January, 2020 Posted 21 January, 2020 Brilliant. Superb response to Saturday's **** up. Didn't expect that at all. Bit disappointed with some of the other results tonight. Villa's 95th minute winner against Watford was a shame and I would have preferred Brighton & Bournemouth to share the spoils but hey ho, we got 3 valuable points. Same again at the weekend.
Batman Posted 21 January, 2020 Posted 21 January, 2020 knew we would win and believed we had a good chance of finishing top half... no idea who should be our MoM... Probably Redmond or Armstrong. They all played very well. Even Vest after a howler. My MoM is JwP for being a sh ithouse again to Zaha. Hilarious!!!
5string Posted 21 January, 2020 Posted 21 January, 2020 4 away wins in a row. And I believe the first time in our history that we've scored 2 or more goals in 4 successive away games in the top flight. Stat from BBC, so uncertain of accuracy...
woodsaint Posted 21 January, 2020 Posted 21 January, 2020 Fantastic. To think some on here already had us losing three in a row and being back in a relegation fight. 3 points off 5th. What a turn around. Give Ralph that new contract now!!
Micky Posted 21 January, 2020 Posted 21 January, 2020 Brilliant performance right across the team and management tonight, great away performance. Shouldn't be any negatives after that display. JWP, Redders and Armstrong the pick of a very good all round team display, everyone of them showed bouncebackability after the weekend. Buzzing... Sent from my SM-T590 using Tapatalk

Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 21 January, 2020 Posted 21 January, 2020 Excellent stuff again. Should be applying to the league to play all games away! Hopefully the 2nd half against Wolves to was just a blip. Amazingly could've been 6th if we'd won that one! But happy with 9th seeing where we were a couple of months ago...

Charlie Wayman Posted 21 January, 2020 Posted 21 January, 2020 3 wins from safety, top ten what's not to like. Hate to say "told you so". Just keep the faith, we ain't finished yet!
Heisenberg Posted 21 January, 2020 Posted 21 January, 2020 Nobody predicted this run. Nobody Just glad the manager and players had more faith than us fans Form has been superb and tonight was absolutely outstanding. So many players almost unrecognizable from early season performances. I had started to hate every player now I love em all
saintadjg Posted 21 January, 2020 Posted 21 January, 2020 Missed 1st half our but what I did see we were magnificent.

Mr Brightside Posted 21 January, 2020 Posted 21 January, 2020 Stunning performance, looked like the home team. Away form has been oustanding, 4 on the bounce, very unSaints! Really seem to play with freedom away from SMS. I know it’s been said on here before it’s differnet away, we can soak up pressure and hit on the break. But that wasn’t the case today. I do think SMS gets very anxious very quickly and it must affect the players. There are so many d1cks sat near me that seem to just wait for the first mistake so they can tell Boufal, Redmond, Berttand, JWP.....how **** they are. Let’s hope we start like today against Spurs and we get behind them from the first whistle and not let those north London ****s drown us out.
OttawaSaint Posted 21 January, 2020 Posted 21 January, 2020 Outstanding performance! Really happy with that, especially after the disappointment on Saturday.
Pamplemousse Posted 21 January, 2020 Posted 21 January, 2020 Superb away display yet again. Easy one next up.
Nolan Posted 21 January, 2020 Posted 21 January, 2020 0.91 points per game at home 1.66 points per game away. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Kingsbridge Saint Posted 21 January, 2020 Posted 21 January, 2020 Good reaction after the throwback second half at the weekend. Wasn't expecting that at all. If you were to say a Premier League side threw away a 2 goal lead in the last minute of stoppage time this evening it would surely have been us. Got to feel sorry for Everton. Maybe not.
VectisSaint Posted 21 January, 2020 Posted 21 January, 2020 4 away wins in a row. Making it 5 would be sweet.
Whitey Grandad Posted 21 January, 2020 Posted 21 January, 2020 We've now won 9 games this season. We won 9 games in the whole of last season.
Sheaf Saint Posted 21 January, 2020 Posted 21 January, 2020 We've now won 9 games this season. We won 9 games in the whole of last season. And no team outside the top 4 has won more either.
trousers Posted 21 January, 2020 Posted 21 January, 2020 Curiosity... First Saints game this season with no VAR incidents...?

whelk Posted 21 January, 2020 Posted 21 January, 2020 6 away wins. We only had 7 when came 2nd in 1984 and that was 21 games not 19

Saint Billy Posted 21 January, 2020 Posted 21 January, 2020 Didn't see that coming at all after the wolves result. Above the Gunners as well, keep that going till the end of the season and I will be a happy man. Well done saints, well done Ralph.

redder freak Posted 21 January, 2020 Posted 21 January, 2020 Just watched the 2 stunning strikes from Redmond and Armstrong. Both hit the back of the net with a satisfying zip. 0 shots on target from Palace. Dreamland!

Brilliant. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk Why don't you just enjoy the win without gloating about some criticism (justified) following the collapse against Wolves. Thoroughly enjoyable win tonight with two sublime goals and some of the best passing, control and attacking link up play seen from a Saints side since the Koeman days. The link up between Bertrand and Redmond was joyful to watch; the direct running of Armstrong decisive and the speed and intensity of Obafemi and Long (even if his touch and finishing were again abysmal) keeping Palace defenders jittery most of the night. Credit to JWP for a decent effort at filling in at RB. Stephen's great on the ball tonight and he bailed out the hapless Vestaagard several times. Romeu tightened up the midfield and he and PEH were among the best. Redmond a clear man-of-match.
whelk Posted 21 January, 2020 Posted 21 January, 2020 After Liverpool. Burnley, Villa and West Ham. When was the last time we consecutively played 3 teams in claret and blue in February?

Shroppie, just in case you read my post (47) - I misread your comments about a "reaction" to the Wolves win - sorry. Yes, it was indeed the best reaction possible from start to finish.

What on Earth is that about? I'm not gloating about anything! Just pleased with the team's reaction after Saturday. And, as you haven't noticed (maybe you can't actually go to games), we've been very creative and positive with our attacking play for some time. Probably why we've won 7 from 9.
