Rasiak-9- Posted 17 October, 2009 Share Posted 17 October, 2009 Hmm i'm kinda worried MK Dons will prove a very tough test actually. They really don't concede many goals at all.

I'm looking forward to it in a way i never imagined was possible to look forward to seeing Saints play MK in the third division. agree completely. Looking forward to a game that will be a big test. It may well be very tough, but it IS a great chance to fire a warning shot across the bows of the top teams. Love to see us really go for it. If we were to lose it wouldn't be the end of the world, but a good win could make a massive difference. Going to be better than some run of the mill PL game against Bolton or Hull !!!!

S-Clarke Posted 17 October, 2009 Share Posted 17 October, 2009 Should be a decent game, but if we play at our best we'll win again comfortably. What I've seen over the last few weeks, and even v Bristol rovers to a certain extent - is that when we attack with power and pace and use the ball intelligently...teams at this level just cannot handle us at all. Some of our players ''minds'' are worthy of a higher level, too quick for many opponents at L1 level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lambert is back to defend corners then appears up front to kill the ball with his excellent touch. Credit must go to Pardew and his coaches, every signing has so far come of, onwards and upwards!

Wotton, IMO, has been pivotal to this and it has removed the defensive shackles slightly from certain other players I do not disagree with you but other than Jaidi and Waigo the others were playing earlier in the season and were not as effective as now.

I think your first point is more to do then Waigo and Jaidi now playing. Pardew's obviously building something great, he's making his own signings, they are all starting to gel. Pardew said himself at the beginning of the season that it would take time for things to come of, he said the winning was not important, it was all about the team being disciplined which they now are, then he would worry about performances and they are now performing!!!!!!!!

samoakley Posted 17 October, 2009 Share Posted 17 October, 2009 acording to many of my mates on facebook who love to try and put a downer on my saints comments after a win, we wont get playoffs which i have been sayin we will get all season, but i think a win vs mk dons would shut them up and prove to the whole league we are serious about pushing up the league, and going for promotion. With players like Davis Jaidi Hammond Lallana and Lambert who are top 2 players in this league in there postions we should be good enough to beat any/most team/s in this league.

Nineteen Canteen Posted 18 October, 2009 Share Posted 18 October, 2009 Feel very poistive about our prospects as I thought Oldham would be more tricky than Southend or Gillingham as we don't travel up North to well. MK Dons will be a different prospect and it will be a game to savour as Docker-P mentioned in a way that we wouldn't have thought possible but IMO its a game that could go ether way and in Ince they have a manager who can prepare his team for a big game in front of big crowd based on his recent experience. I think we are still in the position where we can afford to believe the manner of the performance is as important as the result and if we lose in a thrilling game by the odd goal that will be disappointing but no need for people to start falling on their swords and giving us the 'woe is me act'. (see reactions post Bristol Rovers game) Its going to be a long week waiting for the game that's for sure. I'd take a draw as our draw away against Charlton doesn't look to shabby in hindsight and with Norwich (21/11), Leeds (19/12) and a hideous midweek trip to Hartlepool to come in the run up to Christmas maintaining the performances are key. If we do that the real games for the taking should be won and we get ourselves out of the bottom 4 in time for Christmas. (Orient A 31/10, Brighton H 15/10, Wycombe H 01/12, Walsall A 5/12, Tranmere H 12/12). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What happens if one of these top 2 players get injured? Given our points deduction and delayed start to our pre-season I still think the play-offs is unrealistic if not impossible. There will be a few games along the way like the Bristol game that will trip us up and whilst I can now see us finishing in the top 12 I think we will still fall short of the play-offs for the reason I already mentioned. Personally, I am happy with that because if Pardew can keep the squad together we will have a hell of squad with the benefit of this season under their belt to destroy the league next season and may go unbeaten - who knows? Having said that if your prediction is correct then we will all need to hail our new managerial messiah Alan Pardew as it will be a feat of player and fan management greatness that IMO will exceed any Saints manager classing themselves in the top 20 of post war British Managers.

Why not leave your inflammatory posts for the threads that you want to do that in and keep the football discussion to solely that.
