Rickie Lambert...

Here he is at Huddersfield doing exactly what he's paid to do - and that's score goals. I'm immensely impressed with this lad. He's scored in every game he's played in so far - and will score plenty more this season providing he gets the service of course. Along with Kelvin - they're the only 2 players to leave West Yorkshire on saturday with any credit ...

He wears the shirt of Matt Le Tiss,

Ricky Lambert, Southamptons Goal machine

 

I'd love it if we did.

 

Yep, couple of rounds of it got going.

Huddersfield fans didn't seem to like him much today, did he used to play for them and left on bad terms or summat?

 

 

They tried signing him this summer, but his wages were too big or something like that and Hudds pulled out as they thought he'd have no sell on value due to his age.

Pardew's face says it all during the game:

And so it should, if you can't defend set pieces in this league you are f*cked.

I have seen a lot of blame apportioned to the midfield but if every corner and free kick sets the alrm bells clanging it's not the midfield that's at fault, it's the f*cking short assed defence.

We aint been able to defend from set pieces for ages. I really hope AP can get this sorted.

 

Signing Seize would help IMO. I also think Thomas should be replaced - he just isnt good enough.

 

 

 

Saejis will never resign for Saints, he's p*ssed about them sacking Wotte in such a cavalier fashion.

How can he resign - he doesn't work for SFC at the moment?

Looks like I missed out a hyphen then, re-sign, how does that look?

 

The Echo is mainly bullsh*t with small adds to pay the bills.

 

I'd believe the Mirror or the Star before the Echo

That's pretty much it. Rovers were asking £1M, Udders Field said that he would be 30 by the end of his contract and worthless and were reportedly offering HALF that. As you can see he's worth every penny of what Saints paid for him. AND he hasn't scored any free kicks or long range rockets yet!

 

BTW don't beat yourselves up about losing today. I've watched a great deal of L1 football and I honestly believe that Saints have played two of the best sides in this league so far. Millwall have Kenny Jackett- one of the best men ever to manage in the lower tiers. Huddersfield have LOADS of money having recently had a takeover and were outright favourites to get promotion last season, even before the takeover I believe.

 

I was at SMS on Tuesday and saw enough in that performance to be convinced that Saints can get out of this league at the first attempt.

 

A central defender would be top of my shopping list, preferrably someone like Izzy Iriekpen who unfortunately has just moved to Scotland and the SPL. I can't remember his name, but Crewe Alex had a great central defender when Rovers played them last season. Very mobile, tall and imposing.

 

It should be back to winning ways on Tuesday at Swindle anyway.

 

Cheers, Sladey.

Great stats for Lambo

 

Played 3 - Scored 3.

 

This is how he started last season according the the rovers fans, scored in everyone of their first 10 games i think?

 

He certainly knows where the goal is - would love him to be supported by width though.

Thank you .comsaint for the match treats. Saw a definite Ron Davies leap in that first photo of Ricky but shrank with horror in seeing Alan Pardew looking too much like Jan in his final days when he knew there was little he could do. Just hope it won't come to that. Just hope that they get the Director of Sport appointment and choice of Board members right.

 

Steve Coppell anyone?
