CanadaSaint Posted 12 February, 2011 Share Posted 12 February, 2011 Not a convincing performance from the sound of it, but a win is a win. Most teams find it hard to break down sides that are one player short. We can get into the top two without anyone's help but that didn't stop one of the forum's idiots from concluding that "automatic promotion is going to be out of our reach,and has been for a while."

Rebel Posted 12 February, 2011 Share Posted 12 February, 2011 N'Guessan and Forte both disappointed - all pace and power but no touch and no end product.

The Cat Posted 12 February, 2011 Share Posted 12 February, 2011 Pretty dull but a most welcome 3 points. Flat performance, flat atmosphere. Was the sending off merited?

um pahars Posted 12 February, 2011 Share Posted 12 February, 2011 Definitely not our best performance of the season and we seem to be misfiring at the moment. Not even the introduction of Lallana at half time got us going. It was definitely one of those Holloway ugly wins. A win is a win. But on a sadder note, I do hope the old fella who collapsed in the toilets under the Kingsland just before the game has pulled through as he looked to be in a very bad way.

We signed 5 players in the transfer window and added the much needed pace and cover everyone was whinging we lacked. I dont know what sort of player you expected as a league one cover player but you've got it in N'Gessen and Forte. Now the moans are that the much needed cover players aren't good enough, what do you f*ck expect? They are L1 squad players for a reason FFS.

Saints foreva Posted 12 February, 2011 Share Posted 12 February, 2011 Very poor from Saints today. Thankfully we were playing a poor side like Carlisle who didn't really seem to have any type of attacker on the pitch. Guly was awful, didn't battle enough for me and gave up a lot of 50/50 balls. He has not impressed me since signing permanently - drop him for the next game Adkins. That Leicester guy was quite poor, kept over hitting his touch and missed a sitter. Forte looked quick and very energetic but also gave away some silly fouls and looked awkward on the ball. Good to see Lallana back, thought he did well and linked up well with others around him. Chambo done great for the goal, worked very hard through-out the match. Lambert wasn't great, but scored a goal. Hammond was our MOTM for me, he was everywhere. Won so many 50/50 balls and hit some nice passes. Overall we will need to play much better if we're to beat Rochdale next weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trouble is we have too many attacking options on the field and not enough real midfielders. Agreed, he looked like a certainty for a red card. Hes a great player for us and we miss him when hes not playing, so I suppose NA decided on balance to sub him, plus it gave AL a run out. btw, what the hell went on with Fonte and Davis? When Jose headed that ball out for a corner, did KD give him a shout or has Jose gone deaf? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps he needs better ball being fed to him then.Looking at the scores on the doors on the Ugly everybody was pretty poor anyway.We need to get Morgan back into midfield to utilise players like N'Guessan to their full ability.

Liquidshokk Posted 12 February, 2011 Share Posted 12 February, 2011 Bored for first half hour, got a little exciting when matey got sent off (justified as he was squaring up to linesman giving him loads of mouth) nguessen did look poor but to give credit to him there were LOADS of chances to get the ball to him in space down the wing but the players looked like they just didn't want him to have the ball at all. Contrary to comment above I do think lallana coming on made an impact and he looked great at times yet again. It seemed to kick oxo into gear too. Adkins looked like he knew full well it was a poor performance at the end. Games like this come about and I don't think it will have any bearing on the next game as in normal saints fashion we will look completely different again. Rather we were inconsistent in our quality but still win most games than consistently poor as we could be.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
