stu0x Posted 2 April, 2011 Share Posted 2 April, 2011 Not good enough. If we're not picking up at least 4 points per match we have no chance of promotion. Cortese out. FFS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deppo Posted 2 April, 2011 Share Posted 2 April, 2011 Exactly, adriansfc. MK Dons hadn't lost away from home since 3rd January. They aren't exactly sh*t and it didn't make us sh*t being 2-0 down to them after an hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
positivepete Posted 2 April, 2011 Share Posted 2 April, 2011 Brilliant. I thought we'd struggle today, many did. We don't handle breaks well. Many teams don't, we sounded rusty and they took advantage, but persistence and quality got us through. Well done to everyone, especially Adkins, brilliant subs and they never gave up. Mk dons have a great away record so it was tough without coming back from 0-2. Couldn't have asked for more really, great spirit, a reality check and a shock for the players, goals for forte. But what of our fans? The match threads are getting embarrassing. We expect it from alpine, that's just trolling, but seeing so many others write us off and moan, criticise the team, Adkins, question everything, its pathetic. It's one game! Well it's not even that, it was one hour! You couldn't handle one hour of getting turned over by a rival. It happens. It's a tough league. If we'd lost, I bet the bookies would still have us favourites for 2nd. It would still be possible. Christ, if it were p'boro in our position and they'd lost today, we'd still make them favourites. But when it comes to saints we write them off at the drop of a hat. The squad is more than good enough. Anyone attending a few games can see that. But the expectation is high and the games are tough, everyone fighting for points, desperate to turn us over. So it's a hard slog to the finish line. Let's try a little perspective and maybe stick to support for the remaining games. We will lose again I'm sure, but I'm sure we'll get 2nd. A managerial change or squad overhaul is the last thing we need. And very well done to johnny forte, who wasn't good enough apparently after playing about half an hour. IMO he's already been a worthwhile signing just for the impact today, brilliant. +1 stuck in Luanda, couldn't get to the game, agree some of the characters on here want shooting> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lallana's Left Peg Posted 2 April, 2011 Share Posted 2 April, 2011 Absolutely delighted with that. I wasn't raging and writing off our promotion hopes after MK Dons went 2 up, but I certainly didn't expect us to come back and win the game. More than happy to be proved well and truly wrong. The manner of this comeback, although not desirable (you'd prefer to win games by dominating throughout), does give us a great deal of momentum which I think is very important and with the games coming thick and fast now, it really does give us a fantastic platform to get the job done.

SaintBobby Posted 2 April, 2011 Share Posted 2 April, 2011 We shouldn't have gone two nil down. Two sucker punches really. But great, great character from the team. Seems the wrist slitters were out in force on here, but the crowd at St Marys were great even at 0-2. We are now very heavy favourites for automatic promotion. Great game. Great day.

Liquidshokk Posted 2 April, 2011 Share Posted 2 April, 2011 Wow wow wow, that was both the BEST and hardest to watch second half ever for me...

CWD Posted 2 April, 2011 Share Posted 2 April, 2011 Worth pointing out that we now have a 10 point gap between us and 7th so Play offs should really be assured barring a massive collapse. Still confident of getting 2nd though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(not THE) Kevin Moore Posted 2 April, 2011 Share Posted 2 April, 2011 I'd say coming back from 2 down will do more for the collective confidence/team spirit than a comfortable 2 or 3 goal margin would have done. It sends out a real message to those around us that you are going to struggle to keep us down and if we are a goal or two down again in the run in we will now know that we can do it.... and so will the opposition. Huddersfield and P'Borough must have been rubbing their hands at 2 down but will be properly gutted to see us come back from that to pick up all 3 points!! I thought we'd get the draw but never thought we'd pull this out of the bag. Really good win and great to see Forte come good, those goals alone justify his signing IMHO. We sounded more solid with Stephens on the pitch although I didn't hear him mentioned much... any good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericofarabia Posted 2 April, 2011 Share Posted 2 April, 2011 Man Up Eric FFS. Been well and truly put through the wringer and am now emotionally and physically totally drained (out in the sun all day and 4 London Prides may also have helped!!) - but have to admit having tears in my eyes when the 2nd & 3rd goals went in and when the final whistle went. Glad nobody else was in the house this afternoon - but the neighbours must be wondering what the hell was going on. When we get back to the Prem we are all going to miss days like today!!

alpine_saint Posted 2 April, 2011 Share Posted 2 April, 2011 I deliberately found something else to do this afternoon (I did the winter tyre exchange on my cars) because I woke up today with a deep sense of foreboding about this one.
