  1. Some players really are brain-dead. Just because you CAN reach the cross doesn't mean you should stretch for it and knock it out for a goal kick to the opposition. If you wouldn't be able to control it then letting it go creates a more dangerous situation for the opposition.
  2. Pitch invasion from both sets of fans so they get charged with that too.
  3. Still rooting for Ipswich.
  4. I don't remember a game not involving saints ever having it's own match thread before.
  5. He was terrible in his last stretch with us and never should have been picked up by a Prem club.
  6. No chance they send the away fans all the way around the stadium to push through all the fans coming out of the chapel, Itchen and northam.
  7. Surprised to see Rendell on the bench, is she recovering from injury?
  8. Fuck sake Preston.
  9. Very fair point, and his accuracy for passes over 40 yards is the highest in the league - still only 45% so every other pass doesn't hit it's target but proof that his long range passing is more accurate.
  10. You what? Player of the season? He isn't the keeper with the most passes (Leicesters) and while his pass completion is the highest in the league at 85%, there are 10 other keepers in the league with over 80%. His passing is good and keeps us ticking over but it isn't anything out of the ordinary. If he were pinging it directly to people anywhere on the pitch then fair enough, but i'm not going to fawn over a keeper for being able to pass it 10-20 yards accurately.
  11. It didn't, it was an own goal. Shame really as it was an epic moment and he'll almost certainly never come closer than that.
  12. God I hope the rotation isn't that bad. We should still be playing KWP and Arma at least, plus one of Downes or S.Armstrong. There's another week after the game as well so it's not exactly coming thick and fast.
  13. I think we'll lose this with rotation to be honest. We'll probably see Charles, Stephen and Rothwell play, the first two have just been poor in general and Rothwell doesn't look up to speed at all (hence needing the game time).
  14. I'm going to buck the trend and say Ipswich win. Something needs to trigger a Leicester collapse.
  15. Agreed.
  16. You can laugh all you like @tdmickey3but I just watched it back for the first time and it only reaffirms what I'm saying. When the cross is hit the Swansea player is on the edge of the D, when he connects with it he's just outside the 6 yard box. That means when the cross is hit, Bazunu is at most 6 yards from where the cross ends up and the attacking player is 17-18 yards from it. You might think he shouldn't do better in those circumstances but I bet you that Bazunu, Martin and the goalkeeping coaches will be taking it as a learning point for him.
  17. What was interesting about today is both us and Swansea want to play a similar way and both sides showed when it does and doesn't work. First half we passed with forward attacking intent and Swansea passed for safety, we looked dangerous. Second half we reverted to passing for safety (like at the start of the season) and Swansea had nothing to lose so passed with forward attacking intent, and then we struggled.
  18. He should have done better with the goal, but he made excellent saves to make up for it. He didn't "do all he could"...not sure why he was slowly shuffling out towards the player, he should have been running and reaching for the cross at full stretch. There's no need for him to maintain a low posture like he does when the ball is flying in the air.
  19. How 😂 ignore the 20 unbeaten, the great football, the goals scored...one second half performance where the game was over is the true measure of reality.
  20. Didn't realise the rain was hammering it down now. Probably had an effect on our play slowing down.
  21. Smallbone motm? He's had a good game but what 😂 S.Armstrong or KWP.
  22. And then screaming and moaning at the lino about it instead of keeping his eye on the ball.
  23. Don Goodman thinks Swansea have been the better team.
  24. We looked fine till the second lot of subs. Think Rothwell is completely out of sync and that's costing us.
  25. Back to the slow passing with no attacking intent and we look vulnerable.
