I switched to listening to the Walsall commentray when Solent packed up and their commentators said he played a blinder, and I quote: "His best game since joining us". I think the word we're looking for is: typical

But, do we know how many of the 11 (eleven) shots we had on target were "poor shots that were never going to go in" vs "superb shots that were only kept out by superb defensive action"? If Lambert, Barnard, et al, are putting the ball in the right spot and at the right pace then the result becomes largely out of our control. If the shots we had on target were poor, then fine, that's what probably differentiates this result from the Oldham away result. So, the $64,000 question: how many of last night's 11 shots on target were worthy of a goal? If the answer is "2 or above", then we were unfortunate. If the answer is "none" then we were poor.

Why wasn't the reaction after the Oldham away game the same as the reaction to this one? On t' radio, it sounded like a very similar type of game - number of chances,etc - the 'only' difference being that this time we were up against a team defending as if their lives depended on it rather than not giving a toss a la Oldham. Even the Walsall commentators were saying the only thing keeping them in the game was some miracle defending. Ollie Lancashire played his best game for them, for example (their verdict). Btw, the Walsall commentator also highlighted Barnard's attitude towards the end saying that if he had spent as much energy on his game as he did moaning at the referee then he might have been more productive....

I got the "badger's" bit towards the end there but stumped on the last two words. Any clues?

Old Trafford

He said in his post match interview that there was "no point in tip-tapping it around tonight"...or words to that effect....

FFS!! the problem's been happening for months. That's a one bloomin' long holiday... ;-) P.s. FFS! ;-)

Gaffer - Got To Take Chances Posted on: Tue 01 Mar 2011 Nigel Adkins couldn't hide his frustration after seeing his team go down 1-0 at Walsall despite dominating the match. The manager saw Saints go down to a 68th minute strike against the run of play at the Banks's stadium, leaving him to ponder what might have been. "It was such a one sided game," he commented afterwards. "We have absolutely battered them, had chances, blocks on the line, goalkeeping saves but it's about winning games of football and you've got to take them. "They got one opportunity which was an ale house ball down the middle, it came off Radhi's head and the lad's gone though and taken it well to be fair to them. "It was one of those nights. The amount of opportunities we created, we looked powerful, strong, we passed the ball about and we created so many good opportunities and the ball wouldn't go in the back of the net." Countless opportunities from the visitors particularly in the second half seemed destined to produce at least one strike for his side, but it was scant consolation for the gaffer. "We created so many opportunities and were again a massive threat form set-plays. "We got the ball forward, there was no point tip-tapping about and there were so many opportunities it was untrue. "It was on the edge of you seat stuff but you've got to put the ball in the back of the net, it's as simple as that. "We've created enough opportunities to win several games for the whole month of March and that's what we've got to go again. We've got to pick ourselves up and go again.

Not being funny but why have we got to March before this has happened?It's been a problem (on away match days) for months now. Sorry, in a bad mood (for some unknown reason...)

That's neither here nor there. The (seemingly unenforced) rules clearly state that this part of the forum is for Saints fans only. Perhaps the mods/admin have been too busy the last 24 weeks fixing the forum's technical problems to enforce the rules...? ;-)

Now Saints Player goes ****ing tits up.....Adverts FFS.....and now Pompey commentary.....FFS
