Apologies if you were inconvenienced by those less fortunate as they got up from the concrete floor to ask for a bit of help as you waddled to the game that likely cost you £30 odd quid or more.

Its not just shooting outside the box, its variation of play. If a team gets tight and organised then floated crosses and through balls will need to be absolutely spot on. Every now and again in those situations Id like to see fizzed low crosses, a few shots and an attempt to catch their back four facing their own goal

Harrison Reed - Official: Signs for Fulham
Smirking_Saint replied to washsaint's topic in The Saints
Top little defensive player that seems to get better every game, even competed reasonably well in the air despite his height disadvantage. With him and the ever improving JWP its an exciting for Saints fans and makes me less worried about potentially losing another midfielder. -
I dont agree with any abuse he recieves from the stand but he has been poor recently. He is uncomposed, seemingly wants to flick everything and just not getting into goalscoring positions.

Im not a premier league football manager, but I can tell you that if a team is getting compact, tight and filling the box with bodies you dont continue with the slow build up and floated crosses. We really needed to use Elias and Mane's pace down the flanks, its a shame bertrands banned because as good as Yoshi is filling in he isnt a dynamic full back Pelle was poor again aswell and the ref was shocking.

Pellé getting some stick from our fans.....fair or not?
Smirking_Saint replied to david in sweden's topic in The Saints
Was poor tonight, tries too many flicks for me when he surely should be trying to hold the ball up and wait for others to get around him. That said the delivery too him is often poor aswell, so generally doesnt do him any favours. But Im not overly impressed. He is undroppable due to the way we play, but a team with aspirations of the top 4 need a better quality forward -
This thread had so much promise...

So, the country voted in the majority for a candidate you disagree with and so the system is undemocratic then ?

So let me get this straight, because you have to tactically vote in order to help stop a tory win then the whole system is undemocratic ?

Was on B-anter for a bit, saw some **** on there that could never be unseen

I wasnt on Saintsforever, only started on Saintsweb and quite early on I seem to remember getting into an arguement with SaintWill Back in the day SWF could be pretty hilarious, not to the levels of what I imagine SaintsForever was but still there was much more banter than on here these days

Integral to the way we play, busy, bullish, wins nearly every duel in the air. Ability with both feet. He at times however is easily marked, lacks dynamism (sometimes baffled he doesnt get into goalscoring positions), tries too many flicks and lacks composure. But then he is only an 8mil pound striker. Nobody should be free from criticism too an extent though we have a number of fans that seem intent on finding a boo boy. Despite the negatives I perciece IMHO he is still one of the first names on the team sheet. I agree we personally may need to look at another striker for next year but he positives to the way we play mean he is currently undroppable -
West Ham fan here in peace.. Wednesday night in Southampton

Bedford place is okish, if you want a decent night head to oxford street around dock gate 4, so much of a better night out Bedford is full on students. -
Theres not a lot of difference between Davis and JWP for me right now, Davis slightly pips him. But yes its good to have both morgan and Vic back, not that I necessarily see a game against WHU as requiring a formidable midfield considering their ability to byepass it. Yoshi is solid but not as dynamic going forward, I personally think Targett will be ok and play

Barking mad

Not like you to slag off our own players DT ?!

He did much better than labours man thats for sure

I go to IOW every year, but although currently holding a ticket I am genuinely considering selling. IMHO I am very let down by the line up this year, the worst in a long long time. Other than Prodigy its all pretty meh for me But I dont like F Mac or Black keys
-
I agree with glasgow No need to stress Toby's hammy if we dont have to either, maya is more than capable and Gardos is on the bench. I dont know 'how' fit Vic and Morgan are yet either
-
Yes but he wont be able to spend his pocket money on flumps
