Whitey Grandad Posted 31 August, 2010 Share Posted 31 August, 2010 One of the worst that I have been to. I would say more but I dozed through most of it. I think I'll support Swindon instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingsland Red Posted 31 August, 2010 Share Posted 31 August, 2010 Do Prado was not quite what I expected.(Understatement) It will be interseting to see if he gets another run out as I thought he was a long way off the pace. Alex O-C must wonder what he has to do to start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatch Posted 31 August, 2010 Share Posted 31 August, 2010 I thought it was very adventerous of Hammond to decide to wear new boots tonight, although I'm not sure boots made of concrete will actually catch on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Born In The 80s Posted 31 August, 2010 Share Posted 31 August, 2010 Tell me about it mate. ****ing dreadful. So bad that i went to join my mates (who told me it would be shyte before the game) back at the pub after about 10 minutes of the first half. That new signing looked so bad, it was actually quite funny and for anyone who stayed till the end, seriously fair play, because i don't know how you can put yourselves through such crap. By the way, although i despise Cortese, the players were a ****ing disgrace today. In fact, they were so worryingly disinterested that i'd wager that already some are looking to move on in January now that Pards isn't here. Lambert, Fonte, Schniderlin and Harding could well be gone in few months... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Fan CaM Posted 31 August, 2010 Share Posted 31 August, 2010 Have to reluctantly agree that the display tonight was dreadful and once again - despite supposedly having four of the best defenders in this league, our defence was completely undone by a team with a bit of pace and guile - not once, but three times. Not only that, but despite having the best striker in the league and an ex-Premiership quality striker, plus supposedly the best winger in the division in Puncheon, we lacked any form of decent creative drive into the box. Unless of course it is lumped into Lambert, who looked pretty disinterested for most of the game. It's no surprise Barnard came on like a bull in a china shop - he must be so frustrated at doing so much work and not getting a start ahead of an out of form Lambert. Final word for Wilkins, who said on Solent that he thought we were the better team in the middle third. B0ll0x were we. If that's the type of game preparation and planning we can expect from him, he might as well hand over the reigns now and fook off as it was a complete disaster. Wilkins and the players can bleat on as much as they like about how Pardews exit did not affect them because they're 'professionals', but I hope Cortese has a really fantastic game plan because to me that team has had the stuffing knocked right out of them and the morale in the dressing room now must be rock f-ing bottom! Nothing has changed at Saints other than now we've got to sit back and watch this next horror story unfold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yorkie Posted 31 August, 2010 Share Posted 31 August, 2010 Back to post something and not in Pocklington! It was a lack lustre performance to say the least. Apart from carrying the new boy I thought the whole team was well under par. Why do we kick everything up high - to Connolly? We seem to be able to pass to Chamberliain on the floor so why not Connolly? Is it me or were we just not interested? After all the unrest in the dressing room and Pardew going I thought the team would have come out and given everything because the problem had gone. but I couldn't have been further from the truth. What was the sending off all about? Barnard seemed to "want it" - he, Dickson and Chamberlain all seemed to up for it. Easy to blame the events of the last few days - however I feel as though we went two paces forward at Bristol and four paces back tonight! Who can lift them for Saturday - Wilkins? They all need a rocket - it's not losing but the manner in which we lost. How many shots on target? Rickie Lambert - are you interested or just living on last seasons record? Get a grip man you just don't sem interested! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dune Posted 31 August, 2010 Share Posted 31 August, 2010 I'm not back from game so apologies for posting here, but I can't see a match reaction thread. I'm not going to slag off Cortese for this result because a) I'm glad we're put of this cup, and b) I think he made the belatedly correct decion, although that asertion only stops being what I think and becomes what i'll judge as ultimately good or bad with the unveiling of the new manager. I will have an initial view on the appointment and if i'm concerned by it I will say and will once again be the target fpr abuse until such time as I become a smart arse when i'm proved right (winky smiley face thing), but I digress - tonights result does not matter one iota and if i was manager (or acting manager or if i was the chief Clot) i'd have a quiet word and get some trusted senior players to throw the game. I'm not saying this is what happened and I cannot be arsed to answer any smart arse comment from a forum teeny boppy who on;y really wants to ridicule this, but i would be neither surprised or disapointed if it had happened. Let's see how we do in the next important league game and if there is a marked improvement we can wonder... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appy Posted 31 August, 2010 Share Posted 31 August, 2010 Was a joke all round tonight. Poor chants from the fans, poor team selection and no passion or commitment from the players that took to the field.

I do worry about some of the fans and their lack of knowledge for the team they supposedly support. It really isn't hard to learn 11 players names and what they looked like, i'm sure if they were at wembley on friday for the England match they would have no problem at all.

Tractor_Saint Posted 31 August, 2010 Share Posted 31 August, 2010 Sat in Kingsland by halfway line today and kept thinking that billy sh1te may have found a new victim in me and also felt embarrassed shouting so 2nd half moved back to near our st seats.

SNSUN Posted 31 August, 2010 Share Posted 31 August, 2010 Waste of a journey. Probably the worst defending of any trophy, anywhere in the world, ever. Charlie Austin is a winkle. He was loving winding us up. I'd point out the pros for Saints but there weren't any. Oh, perhaps Alex O-C looks a good prospect. Jaidi looks past it. I thought this against Orient too. Do Prado looked awkward on the left - he seems to have pace but is one of those players with a lazy gait. I never understand playing a left footer on the right and a right footer on the left. Harding was poor tonight but he did look more comfortable when Dickson came on. Time for Dickson to fill Lallana's boots, on the left of a 4-5-1 imo.

DrunkenSaint Posted 1 September, 2010 Share Posted 1 September, 2010 To be fair Guly was played out of a position and looked a bit awkward, I thought he was a central midfielder. yes he is, i think he's the type of player who will work best in the 4-5-1 formation floating behind the striker, he's defo not a right/left midfield.

Kingsland Red Posted 1 September, 2010 Share Posted 1 September, 2010 If the crowd was supplemented by floating supporters who are not familiar with Saints best starting 11, then the announcement that the match day programme could only be viewed on line probably didnt help. Mr Cortese needs to realise that the average fan does not take his laptop / blackberry to the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonManager Posted 1 September, 2010 Share Posted 1 September, 2010 to be fair, I have such poor eyesight that I have no idea either. Except for the bloke who is usually in goal - his name escapes me - the rest of them just look like bleary smudges. Bleary Smudges, if I recall correctly, played wing-half for Barnstoneworth United between 1928-31. His burgeoning career was cut short when he was tragically killed by a passing charabanc after he lost control of his clogs on a steep icy hill near Halifax.
