BadgerBadger Posted 21 February, 2009 Posted 21 February, 2009 Euell up front with McGoldrick behind worked a treat, masterstoke - just took 2/3rds of a season to find it
sidthesquid Posted 21 February, 2009 Posted 21 February, 2009 "they are easy with their judgement" were Wottes words to describe Saints fans, therefore i will reserve giving him any credit until i see us out of the relegation zone. Hurrah, I thought something dreadful had happened to you, so quiet have you been tonight
Thedelldays Posted 21 February, 2009 Author Posted 21 February, 2009 "they are easy with their judgement" were Wottes words to describe Saints fans, therefore i will reserve giving him any credit until i see us out of the relegation zone. it must hurt you that we won... lol
Mole Posted 21 February, 2009 Posted 21 February, 2009 Hurrah, I thought something dreadful had happened to you, so quiet have you been tonight I've been busy, not that i have to explain myself to you.
Thedelldays Posted 21 February, 2009 Author Posted 21 February, 2009 pr1ck. do you still think wotte is the same as Jan then...?
trousers Posted 21 February, 2009 Posted 21 February, 2009 do you still think wotte is the same as Jan then...? They were brought in as a seamless management team....
trousers Posted 21 February, 2009 Posted 21 February, 2009 Euell up front with McGoldrick behind worked a treat, masterstoke - just took 2/3rds of a season to find it I think that's what is known in the trade as the crux of the matter
Saint Fen Posted 21 February, 2009 Posted 21 February, 2009 He done bloody well today, Euell up front superb. They got stuck in all the time, he deserves a lot of plaudits.
Legod Third Coming Posted 21 February, 2009 Posted 21 February, 2009 do you still think wotte is the same as Jan then...? We did well today. But he has had all bloody season coaching and watching and has taken 33 games to work out a winning side. And he's won one game. Guus Hiddink he is not. Even a monkey will write a shakespeare play eventually. Let's see the season out. If he keeps us up, let him have the job. But like you said, today credit where it's due.
sperm_john Posted 21 February, 2009 Posted 21 February, 2009 wotte, footy genius! lol, nah, gotta keep things in perspective, just like i didnt judge before todays win, its not time to judge now either, see how things are in a months time! but still, nice to win and good for the home fans its been a long time coming, (i was freezing my nuts off watching west ham in bolton)

But like you said, today credit where it's due.As I have alluded to during the week Wotte was not as involved in the team as some would wish to think. I had relayed that the team were together and determined.Thankfully it has transmitted onto the pitch.Now they must carry it on
ooohTerryHurlock Posted 21 February, 2009 Posted 21 February, 2009 I think we finally had the rightblend today - youth and experience. His programme notes were convincing and if we can build on today then I think we have a chance - i remember the season when we had n't won a game for ever and finally we beat Newcastle 1-0 with stomper taking a penalty and it turned our season. Today could prove the turning point so lets try to be positive for a change - some on here seam desperate for us to fail. One of the main problems has been not taking our chances - and DMG has born the brunt of most of the criticism but to be fair it has been a hard ride ploughing the furrow by himself. Lowe and Wilde still want shooting for loaning out John, Rasiak and Saga - but at least the latter is back now and doing the bizz - he could turn out to be the new pahars in the fans eyes. The football we play has generally been quite good but just without a cutting edge but we seam to have rediscovered that today. We have enough time and games and can drag ourselves out of this mess but we need to be behind the team and manager 100% - how good was the atmoshere in the ground in the second half? THe club isn't dead until the heart stops beating and it certainly was beating in the stadium today so lets believe that we can get out of this mess!
St_Tel49 Posted 22 February, 2009 Posted 22 February, 2009 One swallow doth not a summer make! But 3 points and a win at home feels good for once!! Now if only he could find his way to leaving DMcG off the team sheet :shock: After today's performance - no way!
OldNick Posted 22 February, 2009 Posted 22 February, 2009 Now if only he could find his way to leaving DMcG off the team sheet :shock:Did you go today WSS? If so I cant see why you would make such a mad comment.
1965onwards Posted 22 February, 2009 Posted 22 February, 2009 Wotte has shown since he took over that he understands what is required in this league. If we go down it will be because of what happened with JP,and who knows exactly Wottes hand in that. I have a feeling that Wotte was playing lip-service to Lowes experiment with JP,knowing that he would be in position to take over if necessary,and that he would be part of the success if things went well.He was in a position where he couldn't lose.
sadoldgit Posted 22 February, 2009 Posted 22 February, 2009 No sign of Alpine then? What a surprise. I bet he would have been typing his fingers down to the bone this morning if we had lost. Terrific result. Keep it up Mr Wotte. At this rate you might even convince those that think Pearson was the CCC equivalent of Sir Alf Ramsey to have a rethink! But we need much more of the same please.

Weston Super Saint Posted 22 February, 2009 Posted 22 February, 2009 Did you go today WSS? If so I cant see why you would make such a mad comment. He has one good game all season, and you agree he should start every game! Even BWP has a good game every now and then!
Thedelldays Posted 22 February, 2009 Author Posted 22 February, 2009 He has one good game all season, and you agree he should start every game! Even BWP has a good game every now and then! maybe he has earnt the right to start the next game for once...?
Weston Super Saint Posted 22 February, 2009 Posted 22 February, 2009 maybe he has earnt the right to start the next game for once...? My comment was about his name appearing PERMANENTLY on the team sheet. Talk about people skewing comments to fit their own agenda
Thedelldays Posted 22 February, 2009 Author Posted 22 February, 2009 My comment was about his name appearing PERMANENTLY on the team sheet. Talk about people skewing comments to fit their own agenda what agenda ffs...other than saying he may well deserve to start the next game he is crap...half of the team is crap..but for now, I would be happy to see the same team for the next game.. what in anyway is that an agenda..?
OldNick Posted 22 February, 2009 Posted 22 February, 2009 He has one good game all season, and you agree he should start every game! Even BWP has a good game every now and then! DMG has spent the season as a 1 up front.Under the new man Saga has been playing as a 2 up front.That is why we are more effective, DMG was very good yesterday and again proved he is better than a lot give him credit for. Did you go and watch the game?
saintjay77 Posted 22 February, 2009 Posted 22 February, 2009 pr1ck. LOL Sorry but cant help but laugh. I know the next bad result we get (could well be against Cardiff) you will be back on here giving anyone that dared to think positivly after winning a game a right roasting. Well done Wotte for this one. Hope you can keep it going and get the points we need to keep us up.
derry Posted 22 February, 2009 Posted 22 February, 2009 A very welcome win. Superb, Great, it certainly wasn't. Solid yes, because we packed the centre of the field with a 4-1-2-1-2. Why did we win, we scored three goals, all of which were brilliant shots. Surman cracked his in from 12 yds, Saganowski from 20 yds, then ran from 10 yds inside his own half to shoot through the keepers legs. All the goals came from the middle, we put in cross after cross from 30 yds out, all gobbled up by the centre backs or goalkeeper, better from the left, but we had no width and didn't put one cross in from the byeline. We have hardly got a goal in the six yd box from play this season. Good teams score 80% of their goals inside the six yd box. Unless we start creating chances in the box we are going to struggle to score, we really can't expect lightning to strike with too many more goals from shots. We have had loads of shots, blocked, scuffed, or off target, yesterday we got three good ones on target for once. The diamond is solid but vulnerable to teams playing wide. We may become difficult to beat, but we need wins. Euell up front did a real job, Liptak looked a useful player and won all the headers he went for.
sidthesquid Posted 22 February, 2009 Posted 22 February, 2009 no sign of stanley.... would be good if he put his opinion out there when we have not lost a game He replied to a similar tease from me - he's been busy, poor dear
corky morris Posted 22 February, 2009 Posted 22 February, 2009 As I have alluded to during the week Wotte was not as involved in the team as some would wish to think.

Dibden Purlieu Saint Posted 22 February, 2009 Posted 22 February, 2009 Very happy with the win, and I feel slightly vindicated especially after I was roundly criticised for the thread I started Friday. However, this is only one win and we need to build on this next week. Nice to see TDD start the thread off
sadoldgit Posted 22 February, 2009 Posted 22 February, 2009 (edited) I have worked in several management teams when decisions have been made that I have not agreed with and said so. But once the decision has been made you, as part of the team, have to support it. He may find now that he has more freedom to do things his way. Alternatively, he maye have realised that was not the way forward and has decided to be more flexible. Who knows? All that matters is that things are now showing signs of turning round.

cellone Posted 22 February, 2009 Posted 22 February, 2009 The man declared war and we saw action and gained ground in the first skirmish. The Resistance Rises. Need to see a continuation of this new found zeal through the rest of the season and hope it is not to late.
Saint_clark Posted 22 February, 2009 Posted 22 February, 2009 The majority of us said that we would give him time to prove himself. I speak for myself when I say that he has impressed me so far with the performances we have put in. However he needs to stop talking about things which don't concern him, especially when he doesn't have a f*cking clue what he's talking about. He's doing a decent job so far, but he doesn't have my respect.

1965onwards Posted 22 February, 2009 Posted 22 February, 2009 Fans will get rid of even a succesful manager if he continually insults them. Nothing surer. Its not as if we can afford to drive fans away. Says everthing about the moronic thinking at the top.
trousers Posted 22 February, 2009 Posted 22 February, 2009 cheers funny how stanley has nothing to add today Aye, hilarious
trousers Posted 22 February, 2009 Posted 22 February, 2009 win and crowds return -simple Indeed.... www.nasa.gov
SaintRobbie Posted 22 February, 2009 Posted 22 February, 2009 Euell up front with McGoldrick behind worked a treat, masterstoke - just took 2/3rds of a season to find it You mean dropping DMG the only way he could due to club policy...to midfield?
SaintRobbie Posted 22 February, 2009 Posted 22 February, 2009 win and crowds return -simple Win and remove Lowe and bigger crowds return - even more simple
Plumstead_Saint Posted 22 February, 2009 Posted 22 February, 2009 Fair play to Wotte - he got it right yesterday. I only hope he can keep that up and it's not a one-off.
Snowballs2 Posted 22 February, 2009 Posted 22 February, 2009 one home win and Wotte is suddenly a genius? I don't think so, I need much, much more evidence than one measley home win. String 4 or 5 wins together and there might be the start of something. Too many false starts.It will all end in tears
solentstars Posted 22 February, 2009 Posted 22 February, 2009 No sign of Alpine then? What a surprise. I bet he would have been typing his fingers down to the bone this morning if we had lost. Terrific result. Keep it up Mr Wotte. At this rate you might even convince those that think Pearson was the CCC equivalent of Sir Alf Ramsey to have a rethink! But we need much more of the same please.its funny how some of the posters who love putting our club down have disappeared,it always happens when we win. it must break their heart
um pahars Posted 22 February, 2009 Posted 22 February, 2009 its funny how some of the posters who love putting our club down have disappeared,it always happens when we win. it must break their heart I really don't get this. We've had two threads running for those to register if they want Saints to fail just so we can be rid of Lowe & co, and both threads got a minimal response. I find it strange how you (and others) think that anyone apart from a couple of nutters get any pleasure out of Saints losing, or conversely get upset when we win.
sadoldgit Posted 22 February, 2009 Posted 22 February, 2009 its funny how some of the posters who love putting our club down have disappeared,it always happens when we win. it must break their heart My thoughts too, but they still eventually rally round and find a nice juicy reason to bring up the evil Chairman or some other muddy negative thread to peddle their own brand of "support". Can you imagine being in the trenches besides these guys? Not exactly the types to instill some fighting spirt or morale are they? Unless it is in-fighting of course.

I find it strange how you (and others) think that anyone apart from a couple of nutters get any pleasure out of Saints losing, or conversely get upset when we win. Point one - we have, it's true, but most of those who mutter darkly about Lowe out at any cost to the club go very coy when pressed on the subject & Point two - the two fully paid up nutters in question need a little baiting for their relentless negativity & there are quite a few semi-nutters who also go very quiet (I don't include you in that category btw)
SaintRobbie Posted 22 February, 2009 Posted 22 February, 2009 its funny how some of the posters who love putting our club down have disappeared,it always happens when we win. it must break their heart I think everyone wants to win. The only people putting this Club down is Lowe and Wotte. IF Wotte gets us out of the bottom 3 I may change my mind... but he wont. Chuffed as I am and nice to feel my heart beating loud in excitement yesterday... my head remains fixed on doing Lowe and Wotte down, not my Club.

I had relayed that the team were together and determined.Thankfully it has transmitted onto the pitch.Now they must carry it on Interesting comment Nick, not picked up on that. Certainly the input of men playing professionally (whether they want to be here or not come the summer) has had an impact on team morale. Why was Wotte not involved as much in the team as people think? I think I know but would be interested to hear your views.
