Glasgow_Saint Posted 13 April, 2012 Share Posted 13 April, 2012 Poor old Chappers is having one of those days. He should be replaced before the ref decides to send him on his way. Was our best player when we played at Reading...... Whats happened to him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brightspark Posted 13 April, 2012 Share Posted 13 April, 2012 Great first half performance, honestly feeling confident. Even if it doesn't go our way, if we play like this - I will still be confident. COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalek2003 Posted 13 April, 2012 Share Posted 13 April, 2012 Well, a lot of huffing and puffing from Saints. Still, 2nd half might see more composure. A draw would be good, if we lose we will have to hope Wham lose as well ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dune Posted 13 April, 2012 Share Posted 13 April, 2012 Billy Sharp is just atrocious not good enough for top 10 championship let alone premier league, will be gone within 2 years Roll up roll up, we dominate for 45 mins, Reading have one shot and score, and up pop the idiots to run us down.

obelisk Posted 13 April, 2012 Share Posted 13 April, 2012 Reading have been riding their luck of late. This is just more of the same. If Fox hadn't decided to give the ball away Reading wouldn't have had a sniff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

niceandfriendly Posted 13 April, 2012 Share Posted 13 April, 2012 Cant argue with any of that. To coin a phrase, Reading look "comfortable" Definitely not. Far from it. We've been all over them, just can't finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suewhistle Posted 13 April, 2012 Share Posted 13 April, 2012 well, they don't to be fair...its been all saints. clearly but poor in the pointy end of the pitch Well, sodding SportItalia isn't showing the game so I've only seen the last 15 minutes on a stream after rushing back from the bar and that seems a fair summary from what I've seen. Our passing forward has generally been good - not to much square and backwards - but crossing has been poor. De Ridder on for Chaplow - hampered by that card perhaps. As long a the team are less panicky than us..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WealdSaint Posted 13 April, 2012 Share Posted 13 April, 2012 We arn't playing badly is just that there has'nt been a really good finish to a move yet If we can get a goal in first 10 mins of second half we will go on and win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadaSaint Posted 13 April, 2012 Share Posted 13 April, 2012 Our shape has been pretty good, with width on both sides, but Chappers needs replacing. I'd be inclined to go with De Ridder because he'll keep Harte occupied, but he needs to remember his defensive role. That was one lousy 30 seconds from Fox - the dire crossfield ball and then he let Kebe get the cross in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheaf Saint Posted 13 April, 2012 Share Posted 13 April, 2012 Well it's very annoying that we have been so dominant but find ourselves behind, but I take heart from the performance so far and as long as we remain patient then eventually the Reading defence will crack - of that I am certain. Just an observation I have made, and I fully expect to get flamed for it, but has anybody else noticed how much better we are keeping possession with Guly not in the team?

Lazlo78 Posted 13 April, 2012 Share Posted 13 April, 2012 Apart from the goal we've been fairly solid defensively against a very cohesive side. Offensively Lambert has been excellent at dropping deep and receiving the ball, but so far his three outlets have let him down - Sharp muscled off the ball, Lallana well up for it but not hitting anything and Chappers just having a bad day at the office. We ned... *gulp* ... Guly somewhere in the side. Someone to hold up the ball, activate the players around him (including Butterfield) and wait for Lambert to come back into the box.
