I agree with you and the sentiment of the poster you are replying to but I would say it is a bit disturbing that there clearly is a 'pattern' in Saints play already and the players, and I suppose coach, don't seem to know how to improve it. Basically we are like a different team after halftime...

Whatever happens we need to be 4-0 in front at halftime.

To be fair if I was an opposition coach I'd say whip in near the edge of the six-yard box as much as you can. Not just Bazuna, but anyone in and around the area looks utterly lost and bit panic-striken. Some of the ways we dealt with these looked like the football I played in.

There's no way this team is getting promoted.

Herein lies the rub, no one can drop off an mess about in the 2nd half.

I understand that but it really is very dull in patches .

I know it has been discussed and it is believed to be okay but I'm still not a fan of the needless passing around. It certainly has ruined the game, I mean it's not exciting unless you punt it to a free player or lose it.

:emoticon-0140-rofl: The competition is on. I'm sure there's more than a few on here who'll back me up!

As I've banged on about it like I'm Peter Shilton or something, being a former-goalie, I can say that this is 100% correct, the elusive clean-sheet is always great but making a great save at an important time, to ensure the clean-sheet, is a real confidence booster. Hopefully, like Saints...

That is a f-king good point. I forgot all about the problems of playing against 10-men until you posted that. How many more things are we going to finally overcome in the next few weeks? Or is this a dream, I'm on my death bed with my body and mind giving me a final happy farewell...

If Downs scores I know I have been transported to an alternate universe...

A little part of me wanted it to stay 5-0....so, so funny.

Isn't it great to be chuffed? Saturday is so much better today.

I told my wife what I posted and as we watched the game she could not stop laughing....

Well whatever we may think/post, if you disagree with it or not, it is great that we are all really chuffed when our team won 5-1 away from home. What a feeling eh? The fans deserve it. I hope everyone enjoys themselves and spends the evening with big ol' smiles on their faces!
