St Marco Posted 30 August, 2009 Share Posted 30 August, 2009 We had 19 shots on goal, hit the crossbar twice, hit the post once, had 2 clear penalties denied of which one was the most blatent i have seen. Had a legit goal disallowed etc etc. If the ref had not given the penalty to them we would of won as they were not a threat at all. So if he had not given the penalty and we did win would people be *****ing like they are? Obviously no. So this is a question for those people who are complaining. We know your opinion on everything else as you make it quite clear. But what would you change? You say what your not happy about but offer no alternatives so let's be hearing them? My view is simple. We were by far the better team yesterday and on another day would of won by a large margin. If we had a ref who was being 50-50 and making the right decisions we would of had 3 goals just from those. So the only thing i would change would be trying to bring in a few people with pace. Trottman,Hammond,Harding,Lambert,Mellis and Murty have already improved the side by a great margin. We lack luck but we have never had that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bailey Posted 30 August, 2009 Share Posted 30 August, 2009 It's a valid point. Had the penalty not been given yesterday and we'd seen the game out, people would have been saying that this is a turning point in our season, we've kept a clean sheet, onwards and upwards etc etc. Letting a goal in from a dubious penalty is a bitter pill to swallow, especially so late in the game but we are getting there, albeit slowly. Admittedly, we really do need to start winning games and fast as the longer we go on with minus points, the more the pressure will build. Still, I've seen enough from us in recent weeks to suggest we're moving in the right direction and Pardew is slowly but surely turning things around. We've been in decline as a club for years and our troubles will not be cured overnight. As always, patience is a virtue and that saying has never been more appropriate than in this instance. In Pardew we trust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RinNY Posted 30 August, 2009 Share Posted 30 August, 2009 It really isn't about luck or referees, as bad as both often seem for Saints. If we had taken our chances and scored 2 or 3 instead of 1, the last minute penalty would not have mattered. If we had kept the ball in the dying minutes, passing it around in midfield and keeping Stockport out of our area, there would have been no last minute penalty. At the end of the day, luck & refereeing decisions are excuses. We have to be more consistent and deadly in front of goal; and we have to hold the ball better and defend better in the last quarter of the game. If we can learn to do that, we will win games instead of drawing or losing. With the squad we have now, with players like Thomas (who we missed last season), Trotman, Hammond, Lambert, Harding strengthening a team that (despite relegation) at times played quite well in the CCC, there is no reason why we should not be doing well in League 1. Since he is our manager, I support him 100%; but I never rated Pardew that highly, to be honest, and if he can't get the side playing well and winning games within the next 4 weeks or so, then it's going to be a very long & fraught season and questions will inevitably be raised as to whether he is the right man for the job.

WATERSIDEIFASAINT Posted 30 August, 2009 Share Posted 30 August, 2009 I would sell Saga and get in 2 strikers,Eastwood and Craddock.Beckford and Jackson would be better obviously but I have to be realistic on who might actually join us!!We need more support for Lambert and have sold or got rid of John,Rasiak,BWP,Euell and Mcgoldrick.Patterson and White are not ready imo and Lallana is not a striker. If we are scoring 2 or 3 goals a game we will win most games in this league.Good strikers are what we need.Everyone on hear harps on about our defence but with Trotman in we have tightened up at the back.Scoring only 4 goals is not good enough in 5 games.Yes we may be making loads of chances but if are strikers aren't good enough to take them which I think Saga and Patterson aren't we need reinforcements. Do people honestly think Saga is going to score us 20+ goals?I would personally get rid.We need a strikeforce that other teams fear and we haven't got that at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if the ref had done what a ref is supposed to do then he would of given 2 penalties in the 1st half. If Mellis was not brought down he would of scored. So that would of made it 2-0 at least. If Saga had his legit goal allowed then that would of been 3-0 and game over. So where you say it isn't about luck you are right it is about the game being played by the laws and the ref did not do that, he made at bare minimum 3 mistakes that should of resulted in goals being scored. What people don't seem to grasp is that the game was ruined by the ref, it is nothing to do with taking the chances it is to do with them being allowed to stand. If you have two clear penalties turned down, a clear goal rulled out and a penalty that should never have been is that down to luck or simply poor refereeing? The fact of the matter is this ref is known for being **** and doing stuff like that, ask Bournemouth fans. So sorry but i strongly disagree with you. The players did everything that players could do. If that game was say Man Utd vs Arsenal and Man Utd had those decisons go against them then i can just imagine the out cry from people, especially Andy Gray. The ref would of been suspended or something. So as i mentioned above if the ref had called it rightly it would of been 3-0 and over before half time. If we had a different ref then it would of been and people then would of been saying we are a good team etc etc. Which just highlights how silly people are for doubting Pardew just 5 games into a new season.

Legod Third Coming Posted 31 August, 2009 Share Posted 31 August, 2009 I would bring back a fit Holmes and let him cross the ball for Lambert and Saga or Patterson or AN OTHER Striker. I would play Mills, Lallana or James on the right to do the same with a clear mandate to play wide and only come inside when the opportunity for a cross ball presents itself. I would keep the same back five for the whole season and ensure they are the tightest unit in the league. A midfield pairing of Morgan/Hammond/Gillet (perm two from three) selected based on the relative strengths of the opposition. And we'll win more than we lose.

Not panicking? Then why start threads talking about survival, relegation, etc and contributing the same?? We have played five games. What would we change?? Noone can identify specifics, so belt up and let the manager do his job. And judge him at Xmas? No one is happy that we are not winning. But people can see progress. And from where we were, progress is the first step. Winning is the result of hard work. You can't just start by winning and then work hard. No one seems unhappy with a single Pardew signing. No one seems unhappy to find Wotton on the bench. No one seems unhappy that we have signed the league's top score from last season who has scored three in three games. So what we need to do now, is to STOP JUDGING. At the moment in my kitchen are three eggs and some cheddar. Right now it makes for a pretty poor omelette.

But give me ten minutes and some heat and THEN judge it!!!!!! Alternatively, you could say that turning the stove on, getting out a frying pan and grating the cheese is a good start. What you cannot say right now is that I will fail to make a cheese omelette. I'd like to see some onions in that omelette and definitely salt, pepper and maybe some herbs. To be honest, your omelette (when made) sounds dull and bland. You say that you will not fail to make a cheese omelette, but what you don't mention is that it will be a sh*t one. I am, however, not sure what this has got to do with Saints. To get back on topic, what would I change about southampton? Well I haven't actually seen any of the games as my interest in football is zero (I shall wait till we're back in the Prem), but I would get some good players. I would get attackers who can score goals, defenders who can prevent goals and midefield players, some of whom who can create goals and some of whom can help the defence out. I would then encourage those players to win. On a slightly different matter, another thing I would change is J.Bizzle. I would change him for someone less moronic. Failing that I would wipe him from the face of this planet. I would flush him down the toilet with the rest of the human waste. I would set his face on fire. I would pull his eyes out and shove them up his bot bot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We lack luck but we have never had that. I don't agree with this, maybe the better team, not the far better team. If you have control of the game and are taking it to the opposition, you are going to create far more opportunities for the ref to agree with you. Let the opposition camp in your half and the possibilities will keep growing against you with each minute. You rarely get penalties given against you when the ball is not in your area. What we have to be able to do is control the game without putting in a level of effort we cannot maintain for the whole match. Every part of the team has to be in sync with what the others are doing or all of a sudden you are suddenly exposing areas that we have not had to deal with previously. It's great to totally dominate teams but if you can no longer keep it going and you have not created a big goal advantage, it is doubtful it's going to work in the long run.

But people can see progress. And from where we were, progress is the first step. Winning is the result of hard work. You can't just start by winning and then work hard. No one seems unhappy with a single Pardew signing. No one seems unhappy to find Wotton on the bench. Yes they can, several posters have said that we need a pacy striker. We are allowing teams to play a high line against us as we do not have the pace to push them back. We urgently need someone who will change this, and as a result create a bit more space for Lambert to work in, where we will see his full potential. At present when our wide players do manage to beat their full back, Lambert is starting from a deep position where his lack of pace doesn't allow him to attack the cross. Resulting in the wide players having to check and the opposition being able to get back in numbers, snuffing out the threat. From what i've read on here and seen with his displays against Swindon and Brentford, Mellis isn't exactly many peoples cup of tea, if we are going to play an unproven kid from another team in our side, he should be a hell of a lot better than any of the kids we have on our books, he isn't, and he doesn't appear to be more than a luxury at the moment. So Mr Pardew looks to have given us a dud in Mellis. Trotman does look good, but the worry with him is that he's only here until Christmas, when the period that will now be crucial for Saints is going to be after Christmas, with the current status of the team as we will not have enough points by then to have a comfortable second half of the season. We need at least one more centre back, preferably two, given our injury history over the last five or six seasons. Finally, I am, I do not want Wotton anywhere near a football pitch while wearing a Saints kit, sign someone else as cover for Hammond or have Gillet on the bench instead of him.

chrisobee Posted 31 August, 2009 Share Posted 31 August, 2009 I would change our negative fans into positive ones. The football will come, but the fans won't change. That's an idea for a film. How about Mission Impossible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlfredKo Posted 31 August, 2009 Share Posted 31 August, 2009 Change the right midfield. Put Patterson or even L James in there. That Chelsea loanee is just too bad to watch. That is the only obvious weakest link at this moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derry Posted 31 August, 2009 Share Posted 31 August, 2009 It is not panicking looking to play better and improve results. One goal in the league from general play by a midfielder/forward is pretty low. Until we start getting crosses into the box and pulling the defenders around we will be scratching around for goals. We can play better but it seems we still need two more forwards to move us forward. I was talking to an ex first division professional today and his comment about everybody defending at the end and conceding late goals was interesting. He said it appeared the team wasn't being brave enough to leave the forwards up, to hold up the clearances and stop the automatic return of the ball into the mixer. He felt that the negative approach of everybody back was creating it's own fear factor and conceding was a consequence of giving the ball back to the opposition.
