Match Day Thread Everton vs Saints 3pm, Saturday 14th January

[Ronnie Hotdog (MLsfc)]

Only slight negative with today was how bad Alcaraz looked. Not rushing to any judgements on the guy as it was his first game in a new country and not exactly ideal game to come into, but does look like he’s going to need some time and maybe isn’t the guy to come in immediately and have an impact

He was a bit off the pace but it is ridiculous to expect anything. He won't have a clue what our shape is, how we play, how everton play, how his team mates play, what his particularly role in the team is.

Plus it was such a tough time to come on and make your debut. No idea if he will come good but we can't tell a thing from his cameo today.

Crazy to think that, despite our pretty awful season to date, we'd be 13th right now if we'd beaten Forest.

Good luck trying to predict who is getting relegated this season.

Doesn't look like anybody will be cut adrift early this season.

 

[Piri Weepu]

Ah man. Went out for a walk at 80 mins cos I couldn’t handle it. What a win. We are far from down and out, just yet.

Nathan Jones really is Stannis Baratheon. Hard. Disliked by the people. Not seen as conventionally good looking by the realm. But he might just be the one true heir.

Oh yeah as I said I’m not judging him at all for the reasons you’ve highlighted. But there was a lot of talk about players coming and making an immediate impact and based on that he needs time

I for one have constantly said Saints lack a player who can grab a game and drag a performance out of the team. We had one today. Arise Sir JWP.

Forgot to mention Psycho Lyanco. Has really become a vital part of the team. Not sure at what position. Definitely isn’t Head of Rational Football.

Definitely don't read to the end.

Sorry Magic, but that is simply ridiculous.

 

[West Kent Saint]

So good to win games.

Getting a bit of a habit isn’t it.

No one can as it isn’t finished …

Amazing how far Forest have climbed in the last few weeks. Can we do the same?

 

[West Kent Saint]

Nun better feeling……..

 

[Le Saint]

Gakpo must wonder what the hell he has done

 

[tomw24]

10 days is such a long time in football.

 

[It'sOnlyAGame]

I went for a wee, washed my hands and looked at the tv….. it bloody works

Right now I think a w**k might be in order.

 

[West Kent Saint]

If the team starts chipping in with goals and Mara comes good then fantastic, but I still hope we sign a striker!

 

[garysfc]

8 days is a long time in football, especially for Saints. Not much to cheer about before CP & now here we are

 

[Lemons and Oranges]

I've just re-watched the highlights, and Prowsie's celebration for his first goal included a golf drive. For his second goal, he celebrated with a putting stroke. If he ever scores a hat trick, he'll bend down and pick his ball out of the hole. Any more than three and he'll start wheeling his golf trolley to the next tee

 

[fran-MLs little camera]

I didn’t dare hope for another win but we ******* did it
