gaz Posted 13 February, 2010 Share Posted 13 February, 2010 Well, it wasn't a toooootally unexpected result, but could easily have been going by the first half. They had the extra few yards of pace that you'd expect from a Prem side, and we did ourselves proud. Fans were fantastic, players did what they could, and it wasn't a 4-1 match at all. Lets push on in the league and meet the Skates again in the CCC next season. COYR! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saints-cris Posted 13 February, 2010 Share Posted 13 February, 2010 I was expecting us to lose, and even at 3-1 I was alright about it. On the basis that we had given it a right go and just gone for it, bu been caught out a few times as a result. But 4-1 ? looks like we were demolished and it was far, far from it. We were he better side for about 70% of that game but missed our chances. That was a 2-1 game and as a result from that scoreline I feel pretty gutted about it.

stardustonmyfeet Posted 13 February, 2010 Share Posted 13 February, 2010 They might have won on the day, but they're going to be in the **** for years to come. Unless they win the cup again, they're still doomed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adysaint Posted 13 February, 2010 Share Posted 13 February, 2010 Well, last team that won the FA Cup tie got relegated from Premier League I'd settle for that. If we'd taken the lead, we would have won that game easily... Just maybe bit of naiveity at 1-1 cost us. At least Tyldsley gave us the credit we deserved.

maltasaints Posted 13 February, 2010 Share Posted 13 February, 2010 I had a gut feeling we would loose , they are premier**** after all. scoreline is a bit hard on us, but against teams leasgues above you have to take every opportunity.

Sussex Saint Posted 13 February, 2010 Share Posted 13 February, 2010 They did us all proud. In the end the counter attacks caught us. No way is the scoreline fair but that's the way it goes. Pompey were very dissapointing for a prem club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

verlaine1979 Posted 13 February, 2010 Share Posted 13 February, 2010 Only saw the game on tv - played well, and really only undone by good finishing and the kind of pace and control you don't find in League 1. Nothing to be ashamed of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkeith Posted 13 February, 2010 Share Posted 13 February, 2010 Although we caused them lots of problems at the back, I always thought we needed Wotton or James, or preferably Case, sat in front of the back 4 or marking O'Hara. Still we played well and could easily have been 2 up before they scored. ITV were talking about the result being in the history books, but lets hope HRMC say otherwise.

Dalek2003 Posted 13 February, 2010 Share Posted 13 February, 2010 Oh well, we have to learn from this game. They were very good on the counter attack.

martyg1950 Posted 13 February, 2010 Share Posted 13 February, 2010 Funny how much thats spoiled my day :-( it's not like an hour before I expected us to win, I just hoped we'd try - and we certainly did that. If we'd buried a couple of our chances in the first 1/2 then it could have been very different, but we didn't, we compltely out played them for 75 minutes and even though 4-1 flatters them completely, we have to live with that, it's history now. I hope what we take from that, is that we are a good outfit now, forget all the distractions, try to win every league game now, if only to throw down a marker for 10/11 I wish we could say we'd gone out to the eventual cup winning side, but that's obviously not going to happen ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris Karloff Posted 13 February, 2010 Share Posted 13 February, 2010 Undone by a lack of pace in that defence. Could say we should have played James or Wotton to protect the defence but easy to say that now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brightspark Posted 13 February, 2010 Share Posted 13 February, 2010 They were lethal on the break because of their pace, and we did exactly the right thing at 1-2 playing the long ball game. Just got unlucky. The inevitable jeering will now come from those who only read the scoreline, saying we were rubbish or battered. But we know in our heart of hearts that possibly we looked just as good as them for the first 75 minutes. Loads of ifs about that game, a shame, but we really need the players to get over it, and now concentrate on getting the feel good factor back to the league by WINNING instead of drawing. We'll smash Carlisle in the cup final too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlfredKo Posted 13 February, 2010 Share Posted 13 February, 2010 I never know why we can cope with their pace so well in the first half but so poorly in the second half. Can anyone explain it?

saints-cris Posted 13 February, 2010 Share Posted 13 February, 2010 never felt so gutted and proud at the same time Completely agree. Gutted at the scoreline, but a the same time I don't think you could asked much more of the players. I honestly wouldn't give any of them less han a 7/10 and everyone gave it all they had.

WGC Saint Posted 13 February, 2010 Share Posted 13 February, 2010 Feel sick at the scoreline which does NOT reflect a game that we dominated and should have had sewn up before their first goal. But never mind. In a season or two we'll be playing a very different Skates side in the CCC and the scoreline home and away will be very different as well. At least we're going to Wembley. They've got a few games to get there.....if they're still in business. He he he. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psycrow Posted 13 February, 2010 Share Posted 13 February, 2010 Seriously though.... I said this during the first half. What are the rules about player registration??? I'm sure that it came up before (Barnard maybe?) that a player had to be registered at a club when the draw was made to be eligible to play in that round. O'Hara was at Spurs when the draw for this round was played. He didn't sign for Pompey again until 29th Jan..... So surely that means he wasn't eligible?

Yeah same here. I couldn't go so had to watch on ITV and we didn't deserve that 4-1 hammering. We were by far the better side for most of the match and to lose to those c**ts is sickening - while I am not surprised we lost, I'd be deluding myself if I was, 4-1 is just sickening beyond belief and flatters the Skates. This was why I really didn't want this draw,any other Prem side but not those c u n t s Agreed. I felt the same way when the draw was made. Awaiting incoming gloating from supporters of a club which should not even BE in existence. :smt086:smt086 Hopefully justice will eventually be done and the High Court will eventually do the right thing.

Cincy USA Posted 13 February, 2010 Share Posted 13 February, 2010 Beaten by Calamity, the break and sheer pace. Thought our supporters were AWESOME - 12th man for 60+ minutes or more - well done to all who were in the stands shouting themselves hoarse.

Is that because we use long throws too much? Where are our midfielders for those 2nd, 3rd and 4th goals conceded? We over-committed, leaving our right flank completely open. Three times at least. Thomas can't spend that kind of time up front if he knows he has no chance of getting back. And AP can't watch him do it without making an adjustment. Generally, though, we were much the better side but we had to score when we were on top. God, what a sick feeling but I'm still proud of them.
