Match Day Thread Northampton Town vs Saints - Tuesday, August 12 - 19:45 KO

Hull it is then

 

Fair enough, appreciate you giving the time for a proper response as well. I only watched the first half (on TV) and was then SkyGo'ing the game at the back of a wedding so I wasn't giving it quite so much attention. My feeling was we started well first 20 or so but then had a wobble after conceding before coming on strong against just before the break. I think game one is far too early to be reading so much into anything (and I'd feel the same for a great performance) but as LTL said, this stuff happens early season, especially with the window still open and lots of variables at play - as we've seen with Ipswich and Leicester too. I do agree that it wasn't a good performance on the whole, I just feel like we're extrapolating far too much on the basis of one game (where we were still the superior team and walked away with all of the points)

I'm interested to see the approach tonight too. Sounds like WS will take the cups more seriously than our past couple of managers, in the spirit of building momentum and winning energy. I do think the style of play will look more cohesive and knitted together once there's an actual creative midfielder on the pitch. At the minute, in lieu of opening teams up with sharp passing and little diagonal runs and overlaps in behind the opposition defence, we're resorting to crossing from deeper areas. Once we add quality in the final third and are able to play in the formation WS wants to play (the 4-2-3-1) I think it will look slicker and more efficient

 

If this were SaintsWeb we'd have just cut straight to calling each other c***s instead of going back and forth to debate, so I guess there's that at least!

 

I'm going to have to check SaintsWeb out, sounds like my kind of forum.

 

****! (Just to get you acclimatised)

sorry!

 

You're probably not the first.

 

War 'n' peace...... or your personal history lesson; above all a script from the heart ~ pauses, then sighs deeply

 

I have often admired how well we do actually call each other c**** on here without using the word.

Are you a real fan or not

 

Matters when you’re young….later…not so much

 

Another failure of "spellchecker" then... I suspect

Anyone think there’s a chance of getting a stream for this game?

 

Sure you will as there's a sky feed for the red button or whatever.

 

It's on fawanews I think

 

Any news Dibling might be out of exile for this one now the Everton interest has apparently dropped?
Has he travelled
I can’t wait 30 minutes for the line up

 

No chance.

 

I wonder if Matty plays, with all this noise around.
