SNSUN Posted 11 November, 2023 Share Posted 11 November, 2023 I'm not sure 79 minutes constitutes a late goal for us, but I'll take it! This would be a huge win if we can hang on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holmes_and_Watson Posted 11 November, 2023 Share Posted 11 November, 2023 For all the good passing we can do, we're giving it away really cheaply here. needed to pressure their player to stop the chance there. And another corner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Osvaldorama Posted 11 November, 2023 Share Posted 11 November, 2023 Fucking brilliant. Most enjoyable win in ages. We actually have a spine again thanks to THB & Downes. Bree & Holgate are revived - both solid as fuck today. Just brilliant saints. Well done Martin.

saintant Posted 11 November, 2023 Share Posted 11 November, 2023 Great result. No surprise they made us work hard for it but I think we restricted them to one chance on target if the stats are correct so we probably deserved to shade. it. Tough game out of the way with a weakened defence and we go into the break in a good place. Chance to give Stewart more time on the training ground. I think we go into an easier run of fixtures too plus both Leicester and Ipswich have stumbled lately. COYR! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stknowle Posted 11 November, 2023 Share Posted 11 November, 2023 Well done lads and well done RM. Been (very, after Leicester and Sunderland) critical of him but he is properly turning it round and showing the pragmatism and adaptability he didn’t seem capable of. Also seems like there’s a strong team spirit being built (which tbf he did always seem capable of). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were always going to make this a tough game but they only had one effort on target which was their goal.

AlexLaw76 Posted 11 November, 2023 Share Posted 11 November, 2023 Good game. Both teams defended well. WBA are a very good team and will be up there with us this season. the 3 subs brought the momentum back from them ploughing forward. Fair play to Holgate. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNSUN Posted 11 November, 2023 Share Posted 11 November, 2023 Fair play to the coaching team this season, with all these late goals we're showing excellent levels of fitness this season. With Ross now back from injury hopefully we can steer clear of any little niggles and have a really good Christmas period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saintant Posted 11 November, 2023 Share Posted 11 November, 2023 Unbeaten in 8 games and a 20 points haul. We are one of the form teams so hope we can maintain the run after the break. Well done to RM and the players! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bpsaint Posted 11 November, 2023 Share Posted 11 November, 2023 Massive win that, to not play that well second half but win is very satisfying. Just need to get out of this habit of going to sleep early second half, as well as going to sleep straight after we score, it’s when we’re at our weakest. Great performances from THB, Bree and KWP. Big mention to Baz and Holgate who have suffered previously but both had solid games. Little bit closer to Leicester which is nice, and finally having a positive goal difference is good to see. Looking forward to seeing what Stewart can do for us, looks a big lad and he got himself about the pitch in his short cameo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still every minute on the pitch is good for his come back from serious injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadaSaint Posted 11 November, 2023 Share Posted 11 November, 2023 Great three points, but hard-earned. Some of that is credit to West Brom but some of it is self-inflicted. It's almost as though we go into some kind of mental or tactical "holding mode" after we've taken the lead, and we end up surrendering the initiative. We were all anxious about our central defence options at the start of the season but, with Stephens due back soon, we now have four strong options back there. I was disappointed to see Che coming on instead of Stewart because I'm dying to see a Stewart/AA partnership up front. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy_D Posted 11 November, 2023 Share Posted 11 November, 2023 Had to work for that one! Might have gone the other way on another day but today is ours! Perhaps most impressive is the change in mentality since last season in resilience and responding to any setbacks. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niceandfriendly Posted 11 November, 2023 Share Posted 11 November, 2023 (edited) First half and second polar opposites. Downes, THB and Alcaraz were superb first half. Everyone was really, some of the play from us was crackin’. Knew that if we didn’t get a second that they’d have a good chance second half. They were by far the better team in the 2nd but we stayed strong and they didn’t create too much. A nice difference to Saints teams of old. Holgate was excellent all game, and thought Charles played quite well when he came on. Sulemana had a bit of a quiet game I thought, and wish Alcaraz would Be a bit braver at times but can’t complain we are lucky to have him at this level. His pass to SA for our goal was class. Yay yep ooh yeah. Edited 11 November, 2023 by niceandfriendly 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodymatt Posted 11 November, 2023 Share Posted 11 November, 2023 Fair play to Holgate, proved me wrong today. Had a solid game and made some big tackles. Looked a lot more comfortable on the ball too. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
