Match Day Thread Saints v Newcastle Sunday 15th October 16:00

Their second goal was also an example of what happens when you give the ball away to your opponents in their half and don't concentrate as a defensive unit (the whole team, not just defenders). We won the ball, got excited (as did the fans) and tried to do something too quickly and gave the ball away. Four passes later, its in our net.

 

Good point Fats. Isn't it also a lesson of how quick and decisive play can lead to four quick passes and a goal for us?

 

Yes of course.need to get those two banks of players (usually 9) moved out the way first though.

Their goal came from us trying to be quick and decisive. Tough isn't it?

 

For sure it's tough, glad it isn't me out there giving direction.

I do feel we are holding back some what, being too conservative. I'd be tempted to say it's the Eu way of old but I'm not so sure it will work with us or our style of league.

To be fair, whilst I'd like us to be winning, I just still get that enormous sense of joy and pride just seeing us out there, so in some ways that does it for me.

I'd still like us to be pushing slightly harder, and I know people moan about Redmond but it seems to me he is playing to instruction.

 

I wish it was me out there!!!!

 

Haven't seen it mentioned on this thread, but Redmond was sarcastically cheered when subbed off then booed. Both the cheers and boos seemed pretty loud to me? Some have said he reacted badly but I didn't see what he did? Anyone?

 

Who's doing wba thread?

 

Mmmm....that would be you.

 

I thought you had to win?

 

You don't escape that easily. Drawing is enough.

 

Ahh bollocks, I don't want a ****ty home defeat to wba on my record

Quite proud of my unbeaten record across 3 seasons.

 

Who would tell him to play like a headless chicken?

 

You can’t get out of it now TLL, you signed the virtual contract when you did the Newcastle thread. You’re in it until you lose, them’s the rules!

 

Bastards!!

Don't know when I'll even get a chance to do it tbh, might have to do a nothing one and then add all pictures n **** at a later date.

 

That’s fine mate, no worries!

 

No one as he isn't playing like a headless chicken.

Not sure if some of you expect Messi, Baresi and Eusebio turning out each week.

For me, he is playing within himself, but he has still had a positive effect impact on games, as demonstrated on Sunday.

 

Here's a picture.

 

I prefer my chickens funky.

 

Was supposed to be a joke, chill out.

 

I wasnt aware I was uptight. This is a forum and I responded to something you wrote.

Go stop the world hey.
