This list has made me smile remembering some of the legendary players we have had over the years. But top of the list for me would be Little Bobby Stokes. For a club that has only won one major trophy in its history, ths man who scored the winning goal - for a second dovision club - to win the cup, should be top of the pile. It doesnt matfer what else he did, or even that he went to P*ompey! The rest of the 76 cup team make up the next 11 places!

I am having the same feelings at half time as I was having during a fair number of saints games last season! This is like the worst days of Russball. Hopefully Southgate can adapt at half time, and certainly in the next game. Currently no pace, no movement, no innovation

did gavin make more than one save today? I know he made one good one, but can't remember any others
-
I think, with a hint of irony!
-
What, you mean including one of the pundits who was awarded a WBA hero award at half time. I wonder what francie benali would have said.

Of course I would have been a different result if they had been given that 'penalty'. FFS!!!

As poor as we were, I think we have to concede that Bristol City played very well. Full of energy from start to finish, and were very quick on the break. True, we made it easy for them by giving the ball away too often, but credit where it is due.

Hiya - are these still free?

i may be making a wild stab in the dark, but i assume you are either retired or in a very mundane job that allows your mind to wander!

Huddersfield 1-1 Saints - Match Thread
Captain Jack replied to Yorkshire Saint's topic in The Saints
anyone reckon we might get more tickets - i can probably get to this game, but have no ticket. If anyone has one to sell let me know please -
Surely this is off topic and is totally irrelevant to this topic about Manchester United. Mods get a grip!

Looks like he 'dug us out of trouble' there then!
-
It pains me to say it, but just leicester. 12 wins out of 13 suggests they probably have the best players across all positions

Started the same as the First Team, pass out from the keeper to a central defender, then to a wide full back. The difference after that though is that the players seemed to know what to do, were capable of some incisive passing, and more importantly had a deadly finish. i am sure that is what the 'grown ups' are supposed to be doing... they maybe just aren't quite as skilled!

If I recall when Leicester won the Premier league they usually had lower possession in games than their opponents, preferring a solid defence and the ability to move forward quickly on the break - benefitting from the pace they had up front with Vardy. They employed a similar tactic when they demolished us a few weeks back. we seem to be getting sucked in to this posession mentality and one of two things is happening. Either we are losing posession in our own half - often right in front of goal - and conceding. or we are losing posession in the opposition half, getting caught by a quick (leicester style) break, and conceding. What we are not doing is using the posession to grind down the opposition, forcing them to make the mistake and getting plenty of openings for ourselves. Logic would state that with the pace of Sulemana, Edozie, Frazer even both Armstrongs, we should be looking to catch teams on the break rather than slowly trying to pass our way into the goal mouth.
