skintsaint Posted October 19 Share Posted October 19 Nice to get 2-0 up at HT, you will know we will concede straight after and then fall to a 3-2 loss....😅 BUT....keep this up and it should be a comfortable first win of the season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pingpong Posted October 19 Share Posted October 19 (edited) Best game for aribo in a long time, capped off with a goal. Manning and kwp our biggest threats down the left, dibling on the right, archer on the scoresheet, what's not to like?

Mr X Posted October 19 Author Share Posted October 19 Do we keep trying to get forward as we simply don't know how to shut up shop? as you know it will be a different Leicester that come out for the second half....

Convict Colony Posted October 19 Share Posted October 19 Have to say we are playing much faster than last time I watched, upside we look more threatening downside is we give the ball away more. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWLondon Saint Posted October 19 Share Posted October 19 Well, ironically after saying he's not changing his style, we have been way more direct and hit far more long passes this game and it's worked! The players seem to have a bit more license to get rid which they have when under heavy pressure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheaf Saint Posted October 19 Share Posted October 19 1 minute ago, obelisk said: KWP Saints best attacking threat this half. True, but he's been poor in defence. Given the ball away in our half a few times under no pressure. Obviously happy with the scoreline, but we're making very hard work of it and are lucky Leicester haven't punished any of our numerous giveaways yet. After we scored our first, they took control a bit and 3 times in the space of 10-15 minutes they had an uncontested header in our box from a set piece. Not good enough. So while I'm very happy to see us take a 2-0 lead, I'm still very far from convinced by the performance. As for the ref, I have genuinely never seen such ineptitude before. Absolutely shocking. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Posted October 19 Share Posted October 19 Really need to think about how we’re going to finish the game with 11 men. Referee is shocking. Some tidy play in spells but this Ramsdale low suicide ball into midfield could easily get us in trouble. Very interesting to see how we look 2nd half.

saintant Posted October 19 Share Posted October 19 Sounds as though we've had a decent first half so here's hoping we can push on and secure a much needed victory. The first 20 minutes of the second half will be crucial. Think we might still need at least one more goal - stats show Ramsdale has made zero saves although I think they hit the post. We need all 3 points, nothing less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWLondon Saint Posted October 19 Share Posted October 19 Goals have been very heavily about KWP and he's been outstanding, definitely our key attacking player. Defensively our low block looks a bit of a mess though like with their shot off the post. Too open in our own box, no-one seems to know who is supposed to be engaging / making contact with who. I guess it's zonal, but you really need outstanding communication to make that work imo and not sure we have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmes_and_Watson Posted October 19 Share Posted October 19 Quite an open half. Leicester had more of the ball. But we worked very hard to minimise their chances. Even that meant one of their efforts of the inside of the post, and us picking up a few bookings. We had an early goal and one off the bar. That second finally gives us a game with a gap. The Manning and KWP partnership has worked well, so points to RM for that. Leicester have sussed that long central out ball of ours. Fortunately, Aribo has been a presence for us to hold it up. A goal and that one off the bar too for him. Dibling exciting going forward, if a little suss defensively. But pushes them back in a half where we've passed it about, but have looked to get forward quickly too. We've certainly got weak spots here, but hopefully can keep that tempo up second half. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorba Posted October 19 Share Posted October 19 Thoroughly enjoyable football. Great to watch and winning at half time. I wish we would play this way every game. All it will take now to ruin my day.. Anthony Taylor continues to be a dick. RM tells the lads to revert to Russball. Saints lose 3-2… let’s hope not!! COYS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
