Micky Posted 17 November, 2023 Share Posted 17 November, 2023 If we are really serious about promotion this year, anything other than a win will be points dropped. These are the games that we should be taking in our stride, we are in good form, they are not. We need to kick on and try to close the gap between us and Leicester and Ipswich. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheAlehouseBrawlers Posted 20 November, 2023 Share Posted 20 November, 2023 Just had a nose on their forum and they are not in good place right now. All doom and gloom and expecting a rinsing on Saturday - apparently they only had 3 touches in Hull’s penalty area in 98 mins last time out. This sold out for Saints over a week ago so looks like we won’t be getting any more tickets, would have heard something by now. Bit strange, the rest of that end will be empty, guess they don’t need the revenue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cat Posted 20 November, 2023 Share Posted 20 November, 2023 Last time I was there I went to Huddersfield v Palace with a Palace mate the day before the we played Wigan in the 1/4 final. Possibly the 2 coldest games of football I've ever been to. Huddersfield is a decent town, loads of great pubs near each other. Very cheap as well.

Agreed but we WILL drop points against lesser teams. Just like every other team to have ever been promoted. It happens. Our fans just have a tendency to overreact when it does. The boo's at the end of the Rotherham games as an example. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Wayman Posted 23 November, 2023 Share Posted 23 November, 2023 Now that we are getting used to winning again let's hope complacency doesn't start to set in. We have to be in this for the long haul as there is no sign yet of the three above us faltering. It's a must win but we're still not convincing enough in our performances to guarantee it. I fear a 1-1 draw is on the cards with the disruption caused by players' being away on national duties Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gio1saints Posted 23 November, 2023 Share Posted 23 November, 2023 (edited) One of the important ( apart from the 3pts!) things about the 1st game or two back after these breaks is getting the rhythm back. The quicker we regain that tempo the better. Our unbeaten run coincides with player actions that previously took some thought ( and time) now happening more automatically ( and quicker). This tends to happen with every learning process and the more it’s repeated, successfully, the more proficient you generally become. It’s a game played by fallible human beings though so anything is possible. BUT the higher ones default level it becomes possible to win or not lose - even when not playing at one’s best. That’s what I hope Saints can start to cement in the foundations as we look to extend this unbeaten run. Simply winning will do it. Winning and playing russball well does it even better. If we are losing 2-1 in 95th minute and we equalise I will take it though! I’m also mindful that we are still only one defeat away from a forum meltdown so let’s pray that does not happen!

Turkish Posted 23 November, 2023 Share Posted 23 November, 2023 I'm coaching at DEF Youth Northern Regiments football match in the morning, home and changed then onto the rattler changing at Leeds for the game. Expect to be mobbed by Huddersfields lads on the way to the ground offering to buy me a pint, asking for photos and signing their Stone Island jumpers so worried i might not make kick off. Might have to go incognito for this one so as not to draw attention to ourselves and slip the old bill so we can stroll around unchallenged all day.

AlexLaw76 Posted 23 November, 2023 Share Posted 23 November, 2023 Huddersfield Presser.... In a fairly good place for fitness better than what we thought we would be, every came back relatively fit those who stayed behind have got fitter, people have done a lot of travelling we have another 3 game week, so will be interesting to prepare Lads who stayed had a practice match against MK Dons, valuable minutes for people we are ready and prepared for another difficult test, in another busy period Ross is looking really good, he stepped up against MK, played longer I do not want to put too much expectation on him as he has been out for a long time He is building up really nicely and fully part of the squad, he has been impressive Jack stephens back on the grass and the group were clapping when they saw him Will take a little bit of time, but he is coming back and he is really important The opposition may be a factor on who plays where up front, it is an educated guess for all managers We will be adaptable on who plays from what positions, but the players understand different roles they may be asked to play it will change again, despite the consistency in selection, the squad is hugely important Will be sitting in the Directors Box as have a 1 match ban. Be frustrating but I have to learn from this I doubt it will not impact the team, but it is an annoyance. 2 of the bookings I got were nonsensical As a group we are pretty calm for most of the game, then get punished for a moment, yet other 4th officials can get abused all game and nothing happens Darren Moore is a great guy, they will make it difficult, like they did against Hull They will have worked hard over the last 2 weeks, but we must dictate the game The job he did at Wednesday was fantastic, look forward to seeing him after and speaking to him He will probably do a great job over time at Huddersfield 10 games in the next 37 days, this is a long season and we have fought so hard to put ourselves back where we are that effort must be maintained as other teams just keep winning we must just focus on ourselves, but now the table is taking shape, but teams can still come from nowhere and get into the playoffs we are not where we want to be, but now the momentum is building, the supporters can now feel it, and we can feel it. We beat WBA with spirit as the performance was not good, the crowd were onside, and is part of our building we have so much where we can improve and we will The whole club is building momentum and the ladies team is part of that. it will be a brilliant occasion The improvement is not just with the main teams, but the academies are growing 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
