Glasgow_Saint Posted 8 December, 2012 Share Posted 8 December, 2012 They signed pogrebnyak (injured), Guthrie (crap or injured or both), Mcleary (ok, doesnt start), Marriappa (nothing special). Thats it I think Shorey signed from WBA he played today, they also got Gunter from Forest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dvaughanwilliams Posted 8 December, 2012 Share Posted 8 December, 2012 Overall a fairly good performance. The game was very physical and niggly. The referee deserved some, but not all of the stick he was getting. Puncheon was the best player on the pitch and was ultimately the difference between the two sides. Rodriguez had his best game in a Saints shirt in my view, but still has more to do to justify the price tag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WealdSaint Posted 8 December, 2012 Share Posted 8 December, 2012 From NA Press conf "Adam (Lallana) has a knee injury, he has a brace on, as we always do in that situation, and he is on crutches but we will have to assess it in the next 24 hours."

saint cozza Posted 8 December, 2012 Share Posted 8 December, 2012 Watched a stream of the game. Not really sure how they can say we where dire? First half we dominated, second better. Great goal and the relationship of Clyne and Punch gets better each game. Luke Shaw will play for England in the future top performance. Kelvin did well when called upon. Loved the chant to Jason Roberts, don't like him as a player seems to just expect free kicks all the time. Hope Lallana's knee not too bad and onto the next one.

Didn't hear it! I f()cking hate him too. In fact, I don't like Reading at all. Nonentity of a club, noddy fans who get issued songsheets, horrible team, niggily, players, they just sit there, doing nothing, nick a goal and close up. The Championship is more deserving of such a club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glasgow_Saint Posted 8 December, 2012 Share Posted 8 December, 2012 On SSN Nigel - good goal disallowed poor ref decision - good goal from us, full backs over lapping - delighted with Punch, hes matured and settled - on Adam "review in 48 hours" Mcdermott - should have had a penalty - goal killed us - looked like a 0-0 game - away support was superb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halo Stickman Posted 8 December, 2012 Share Posted 8 December, 2012 Puncheon and Clyne, what a fantastic partnership!

Burnsie Posted 8 December, 2012 Share Posted 8 December, 2012 Reading were hopeless - very poor in possession and never looked remotely like scoring apart from set pieces and the odd time Saints committed a lot of players forward and we almost got stung on the break. Fonte and Yoshi didn't have much to do , never mind Superkelv. Cork was excellent and my MOTM. Both fullbacks very good too - Clyne caught the eye in particular. He's a fine player. I actually thought it was one of Lambert's poorer games For all his hard work, Rodriguez does not look like a Premier League striker to me - a bit clumsy, and just half a step off the pace in the penalty area, e.g. he doesn't get a shot away in time. Wouldn't mind getting a look at Mayuka in a central role (although ideally Gastón will play just behind Lambert, hoping Lallana's injury isn't serious.

Thedelldays Posted 8 December, 2012 Share Posted 8 December, 2012 Shaw is a revaluation. They tried to target him as every goal kick went his way. No problem They are terrible Their luck from last season has well and truly run out. They should be thankful they only lost by 1 Even GULY looked good when he came on and should have scored!!!

max_saints Posted 8 December, 2012 Share Posted 8 December, 2012 such a vital win today that propels us all the way up to 15th, punch took his goal well. abit disappointing to see jrod not making the most of a rare first team start, with hindsight i think i would much rather prefer michu at 2mil. but of course we don't know how much jrod will develop in the future if he ever does. a game we should keep an eye on during our two week break would be the re-arranged game between sunderland and reading, anything other than a sunderland win would be perfect for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Clarke Posted 8 December, 2012 Share Posted 8 December, 2012 It wasn't a classic by any means, but we were better than them in every department. Similar to last season really, but they don't have that head of steam anymore. They're just a bog standard Championship team who have somehow found themselves in teh PL on the back of a good run, that's it. They didn't improve on it in the summer and they will continue to be a bog standard Championship team in the PL, therefore they will go down pretty easily. McDermot doesn't really have a clue if he thinks that's a 0-0 game, and if he does then I fear for Reading. We should have won that 2, or 3-0. 1-0 flattered them really on the balance over 90mins. We were just sharper than them in most area's of the pitch, and had those little injections of quality at key moments which they don't have. Our recent run has given us alot to be confident about, although we need to take into consideration the opponents we have played, you must say that we are starting to look every bit the premiership team as the weeks go on now. A nice break now, which I think we need, and onto another huge 6 pointer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toomer Posted 8 December, 2012 Share Posted 8 December, 2012 Luke Shaw is mature above his years, Reading put that big lump Roberts up against him in the first half and Shaw made him look a mug. Jay Rod put in a great shift IMO today closing down and chasing, Punch and Clyne have developed a great understanding long may it continue.

CanadaSaint Posted 8 December, 2012 Share Posted 8 December, 2012 Rickie's control and layoff in the build-up to the goal were absolutely superb. Yes, I think we're THAT much better than the bottom three, and probably a few teams above them. But we're a side that needs to score that vital second goal, and we need to work on that.

Cabrone Posted 8 December, 2012 Share Posted 8 December, 2012 Deserved the win as we dominated throughout. Thought our build up play was good but we were very timid in the penalty area, with more aggression we would have had 3. Rickie was subdued but Shaw, Ramirez, Puncheon and Clyne shone. Is that the same Reading team that beat us in April? They look like relegation material to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
