Well I need to have more confidence in our defence. Otherwise... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I've been Saints for over 40 years. We're going to get spanked by Plymouth aren't we? Help me believe! Not on your Nelly, Swansea was just a warm up after too much Christmas pud! I reckon this team will start to gel v Plymouth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkish Posted 27 December, 2023 Share Posted 27 December, 2023 1 hour ago, Maggie May said: One interesting observation I made was that none of the goal scorers yesterday did the knee slide celebration that’s so endemic in the Premier League. The traditional leap and fist pump was the favoured choice which is both elegant and safe. I’d like to think this is yet another positive trait instilled by Russell Martin. are you sure? Lots of potential for damaged knee ligaments if landing incorrectly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully they’re incorporating the “safe jump” celebration in training. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adams gets some stick but he made an important run for the 3rd goal which dragged the defender away and left space for AA to play in Wee Man. Also, for the 5th goal Adams made a delicate pass to put Wee Man in down the left and was then on hand in the middle to finish after a smart chest trap. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very much this - even if we don't go up this season you can't fault the players and manager throughout this recent run. Granted there have been games where we have been profligate and hopefully we sign a striker in the window to amend that but 5-0 against what is supposed to be a half decent Championship outfit is something to enjoy, especially at this time of year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
