Penalty Saints!

 

0-0 Gallagher penalty miss

 

Soft pen awarded to Saints

 

I saw that said 1-0 Gallagher as I hit reply.....did you jinx it?

 

Think so . Typed it and pressed send by mistake so had to amend it. Really thought he would score. Saints never miss penalties!

 

sadly it was not even close...the lad can't buy a goal

Shame because they've worked really hard and deserved the break of getting the penalty

 

Sam Gallagher is lacking in so much confidence, its such a shame

 

0-0....good battling performance from a young Saints side. I don't know how old the Chelsea lads were because they do loan out their best players at this age group, but they seemed physically stronger

Alfie Jones was excellent, won almost everything in the box and Gazzaniga had nothing more than routine saves to make despite a lot of Chelsea pressure. Reed was very good in midfield. Despite the penalty miss that's the best i've seen Gallagher play for a while. Led the line well. Hesketh was busy and at the heart of Saints best moments going forward.
Olomola is struggling a little bit out wide. He worked hard with his defensive duties, but don't think his game suits out wide, but good experience for him.

Little and O'Conner put in battling displays and some nice football when given the time

Young Vokins is improving game on game. Much better positionally tonight. Decent set-plays and looks like he is another on the left back production line. A bright future awaits

 

Blimey, are all the women on here premature? It's usually us fellas

 

Can't wait for some of the lads to return.

 

Injuries and loans have forced our hand in team selection, yet the young players have stepped up and this experience will do them good. With Barnes and Seagar out, the team is badly missing a goal scorer. Considering the defence had 2 u18s and 1 u16, they showed great character to keep their positions. Gape played well RB, but for me is better in the center.

 

Hopefully JRod and Gardos will be ready to play a half, at Leicester next week.

Adam Parkes called up for England u17s.

 

Personally, if I had to choose a football ground for my name, I'd go for San Siro. Sounds exotic.

 

Where as krap nottarf makes you sound like a Sunday pub player.

 

Yes, that Park family are a bit of a plebeian lot aren't they? The Road brothers, Kenilworth, Brisbane, and Vicarage, are much classier.

 

Under 18's drew 3 - 3 away to Brighton today.

 

Thanks for that....looked briefly yesterday and couldn't find the result. Like the first team, draw better than a loss.

 

Spotted it on Twitter, sadly the OS seems to be neglecting the Under 18's at the moment, the information highway has dried up on there.

 

they are not winning many, but the results are getting better. beginning of the season was hard when they were getting beaten out of sight
