yet you cared enough to post on it. So obviously you are one of the ones that do.

I can understand it away from home, the idea being to keep it tight in midfield nad norrow the game and keep posession but at home i dont understand it. Surely when we need to break teams down we need width tp spread the game and also get whipped crosses coming into the box. To play it the dimond properly you need two good attacking full backs who are able to get down the line and get crosses in, of our full backs who can do this, one of those was on the bench and the other was not even in the squad. Hardings crossing was awful, in the first half every cross went straight to their keeper, he offered little going forward. The diamond can work if you have the full backs to play it, but the ones we have who are best suited to this formation are both out of favour at the moment. We have always looked better flating with a normal midfield 4.

I think you'lll see on the league one show that the first goal was anything but straighforward, great turn and finish, the second admittedly was harder to miss than score. Work to be done but showed his potential and pleasingly his goals were not just using that Jonno Quick pace but needed a bit of guile and composure as well.

A lot of fans on his back from day one. Proffesor is one on here that stands out from memory as slating the guy after two 10 minute subsitute appearances saying what a poor signing he was. There were plenty of others on here as well.

bloody hell, that was in about 2002 wasn't it?

Be interesting if they mention the 3.5k we will have travelling further next week and also the fact that we could have probably double the amount we are taking if tickets were available. Can someone post it on here, i'll be in Orient.

i never take the p*ss on the main board my chunky legged chum, serious football talk only on here. Ii know the rules.

i am just enjoying basking in the glory of proving a lot of the mugs on here wrong, as usual. Jaidi, Hammond and Jonno have been the whipping boy by the cluesless majority this season and have all to some extent proved the clowns wrong, now imagine what might have happened if we'd cut Puncheon a bit more slack....

thank you Eric.

Sorry if being a c*nt if getting behind the fans whipping boy and asking the fans to as well then i am a c*nt. You f*cking dinlow.

Lets be honest, up until jonno came on we had been sh*t, he changed the game. We created little going forward, no chances but a lot of crossing and shots from distance and caught by a set piece and a counter attack. Hats off to MK Dons for the first hour, kept it tight and caught us cold, if that had been us we'd be praising ourselves for a great away performance. For 20 mins we were great, scored 3, could have had a couple more and then some desperate defending at the end, but a win is a win, we did what was needed and a win on tuesday against a dire Charlton side sets us up nicely for saturday, the right result saturday and we could be second with 2 games in hand :-)

and more fans like me, who public backed our whipping boy only to be shouted down by some. Jonno Quick may well have written himself into the saints legends books today.

Doths cap, forward bow, i thank you all...FACT

http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?29040-This-is-Jonno-Quick-Fortes-moment. Thanks very much all, i think in some of yours world that makes 18/20 at spotting a players potential on champions manger.

Yep, we absolutely need to disect every sentance of every interview. He could have said "Brighton will walk to the title and win it by 15 points" then everyone would have been slamming him for giving up before christmas.

I agree, it's all part of it. A lot of our lot seem to cry at any sort of banter and take the slightest little thing as a slight, like constantly having a pop at Andy Towsend because he doesn't mention he played for us everytime he goes on the telly.

Some of our fans are to precious to get that though. Football is a serious business, no place for banter in the modern game.

To be honest you could probably count them on one finger.

Agree with this although i dont agree with Wright, IMO he was an awful player. Telfer through was a great signing for nothing i think, gave us balance and was what Eric Cantona would call a water carrier. A good solid pro who did all the dirty work which goes unnoticed. Oakley was a quiality player, a really good intellegent footballer.

Absolutely. He may not have been the most gifted player but you cannot fault his effort, commitment or passion, ironically something the team have been accused of lacking serveral times this season. I for one will always have a lot of time for the bloke and appreciated his commitment.

"Dixon and Speedie will score more goals than Alan Shearer this season" remains of one my favourite quotes of all time.

I was glad when Le Tissler retired. Over rated, lazy, slow, inconsistant. His goal scoring record would only have been average if he didn't take penalties and didn't score enough goals from inside the area for my liking.

God there has been a few..... Sheff United, Spurs, Liverpool and Man Utd games already mentioned being the obvious ones Less famous games, a 1-1 draw at home to Newcastle at SMS 2003 i think, brilliant end to end game which could have gone either way, both goalkeepers making brilliant saves and A Newcastle defender heading against his own cross bar from about 18 yards in injury time 4-2 v Swindon, league cup c1990, 0-2 down at half time, came back to 2-2 then won it in extra time 3-2 v Bolton FA cup 91?? Most exciting last 2 minutes ever

and a decent centre half. If we'd have had one we'd have been promoted.

Now, now that isn't very nice and friendly. Loads of good songs, although an awful lot more crap ones, have been mentioned on here before but they never take off. The last three or four games our support has been very good to be fair.
