  1. it seemed to me that Lambert was playing as a wide man , not as a centre forward. i do agree he should be bursting inot the box to help or at least be a threat. What astounds me is the amount of times the ball goes to the back post and all our forwards are at the front post. Surely it is not impossible to get one of the players to make the back post a priority while the other is at the front post. LB whilst working hard does not have the fire or pace to cause problems. Only when the game is stretched at the end if the opposition are taking risks does he seem to be in the game. I may be being unfair, as I dont dislike him, but i thought the sub they brought on was a constent niggle to us and looked sharp and dangerous. Grass is always greener i suppose
  2. some cracking pictures. i particularily like the one behind the goal as the keeper watches the ball going in
  3. It did take a long time, after all Forte was standing ready to come on at the same time. There were at least 2 other occasions where he could have come but didnt. I felt that NA changed his mind but your theory does seem to fit
  4. they'll run out to 'Thriller'
  5. I heard the whining from Cotterill but the score was 1-0 at the time and so it was not as though it was the important first gal. He failed to mention how the ref disallowed a goal that the commentators were surprised about. Solent really does pander to their fans, saying how 4000 of them went, it is only up the road for them. That pales into insicnificence our 3000 + at Charlton the other week for a midweek game.
  6. Oh another thing, Im glad they didnt bring the big strong speedy forward on sooner, he looked a decnt player and didnt let the team settle. McKenzie their centre half was good and reminded me of a young Jim Steele. Perhaps we need to raid them if we go up.
  7. Phil after watching the highlights it seems to me that it was Jaidi who left the man free. As for the defelection, I dont feel that made a difference, it was a chrisp shot and a good goal.
  8. Funny that our first sub took so long as Forte was waiting on the sidelines to come on. LB looked as though he was going off and went to do so, some of the fans booed and NA seemed IMO then to change his mind Lol. It then took an age to get Forte on. I would have taken LB off as i thought he was ineffective. Of course he did score the third goal but that could have been any forward in his position. Im glad Forte has scored and it might make him gain the confidence needed to help us push on. Also i felt the fans stood behind the team even when it looked like we were doomed to failure. This is a fantastic change as in the past they would have turned on the team.well done to the Northam Kingsland who sang us to victory. Very supportive and will help us in our task ahead.
  9. LOL , i also would add that the fans who rate Cech didnt notice the Stoke goal. IMO Butterfield didnt close the lad down and he put in a superb shot to score. I suspect KD would rather have saved it but he like most expected the ball across the goal.
  10. its an in joke is it?
  11. you never could pick a decent manager hamster lol
  12. Hey show respect Ladysaint has been a stalwart saints fan and does not deserve sarcasm, keep that for my posts Ta
  13. i thought we beat them at their place 4-0?????
  14. but we did home and away if I recall correctly. To be fair i hate Everton due to them beating us at Highbury in 84
  15. Green is always an accident waiting to happen. iam delighted we have Hart and if he had played against the US we would have done better in the WC
  16. he really knows how NOT to make the young players feel good. I hope the parents of any youngster contemplating signing there think twice.
  17. there is complete chaos at FP today as they didn't realise they have to pay every month.
  18. Whilst i feel there is a squeeze on as we failed to really strengthen in the windows, i can't see us doing as the CP site says it we have done. NC is very sure about developing the young players
  19. I recall Mandelson sanctioned something just as he was leaving office. At present i cant remember quite what, but it was another cost he knew that someone else would have ot clear up.
  20. many times you have said that but as you know it is not the case. When Blair came to power he took the powers away from the Boe to regulate and the excesses started. Many were calling for the nonsense of the easy lending to be stopped but brown did nothing to stop it. I couldn't and many who were warning couldn't . We had to watch the train crash happen and nobody was doing anything in Government to stop it. The bankers knew what was happening and in their disgusting self interest keep the deals going and saw the bonuses come in. The main men in this legal fraud made their families secure for generations at the cost of us all, the people who should have protected us from that YOUR Labour party did nothing, as they were on their social experiment spending more on the welfare system than we can afford. My grandchildren will be paying for your parties excesses. If it is so easy to provide schools hospitals free health to all and sundry (from wherever in the world who drops in) why don't the rest of the world do it?)
  21. get them on, i will always remember you kissing the turf at the end of the game
  22. They were not in the playoff places in Jan i think you will find. i think they were quite a points adrift.
  23. Find where i have said Nguessen does not live to my expectations or where i dismiss him? If not come back with your apologies. When we were first in for CMS it was a longtime before the Norwich interest came about.
  24. 1) IMO he will be gone one way or another before next season. The interest in him was at a fever pitch then. The money generated could have been spent on the whole squad improvement, to make sure we go up not the what ifs? 2) Before the return of Ferguson they were not in the picture and we could have bought him then. 3) It is fairly obvious that we have not spent like we did last season. IMO if Ml was alive he would have invested more in the team 4) well if we only have one person in that position it shows the weakness of our squad, I called for us to buy Antonio at the time of the Ox saga
  25. No we should have sold Chamberlain and got CMS. All the fannying around cost us his signing IMO
