Charlie Wayman Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 2 minutes ago, davefizzy14 said: Wow, what a game today! First half we were not on our normal level, too many misplaced passes and our rhythm was not quite there. Second half was incredible, all the subs made a big impact: Rothwell - two wonder goals. The first in particular was world class 😊 a thing of beauty. Brooks - class when he came on and got two assists. A level above 😊 Mara - is developing nicely all the time. His impact today was so good 😊 Strong and quick. A smart finish and assist for Edozie. Edozie - great impact today and a nice finish for his goal 😊 Sulemana - so exciting to watch 😊 All in all a great afternoon and character from us to come from behind twice and win comfortably 😊 the unbeaten run continues! Get in - COYR 😊 Hoping Downes injury isn't serious, he such a class player and a vital part of the side. Agree except your nonsensical comment about Brooks. He was never in the game today. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintBobby Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 On Bazunu, definitely not at fault for the 3rd goal - it’s just a nightmare deflection. However, maybe at fault for the 1st? Not dissing him though - his distribution is incredible (he’s basically a sweeper with the right to wear gloves). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheaf Saint Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 (edited) 32 minutes ago, Ken Tone said: (Sorry if this was covered earlier in the thread) What's the verdict on our penalty claims? Anyone seen replays? Handball in their area first half? Did Adam Armstrong dive? Did the ref play advantage when their defender handled the ball on the ground before we scored.... or just not see it? There were a fair few penalty shouts, but the ref wasn't interested in any of them. Handball after Fraser flicked it over him looked clear on replay but can see why ref didn't see it. Manning's was an obvious dive. Idiot. KWP was lucky not to concede one. Could have been given. Brooks was blatantly pushed over - should have been given. Hudds player on the deck clearly handled it before Mara teed up Edozie for the fifth. I can only assume the ref played the advantage, because if he missed that then he has no business being a professional referee.

Unbelievable game of football. Can't remember anything like that at SMS for a long time. I'll be shocked if we don't get promoted. There were some right miserable bastards wallowing in despair near me first half, obviously turned up expecting comfortable win and couldn't handle it not going to plan. Fair play to Huddersfield, thought they were excellent at times and definitely approached the game in the right way to cause us problems, first half was a good reminder of some of our weaknesses. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRM Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 1 hour ago, Gloucester Saint said: Mad game, Hudds outplayed us first half. Baz should do better for the first. Great impact by Rothwell and Brooks, Mara has gained confidence from the cup games and taken that into the league. Very rare that you see 4 second half goals for one team all scored by subs! Hope Flynn ok, been immense for this run. Ashton Gate tricky trip Tuesday night with WBA Friday night but we have the squad depth to rotate and still be very competitive. That's two really tough away games in a row, the undefeated run will come under real pressure I think, Bristol City capable of raising their game like recent cup matches v West Ham and Forest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saintant Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 30 minutes ago, The Cat said: He's scored a lot this season and far out performed most expectations but could so easily have 5-7 more goals. The training ground corner in the first half was also worked well until he ballooned the shot into the back row of the Northam. Agree. It is his birthday today and the official site had a montage of his goals - some absolute crackers there. Show me a striker who doesn't miss chances - they don't exist. Arma is contributing his share of goals and assists so let's not be critical of a few misses. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough it was frustrating to see us 2 down and being a bit second best all over, but booing is fickle and entitled. Thankfully the team quickly turned it round and Rusty commented how good it was that the majority of fans stayed behind the team and credited their support with helping them get back in it. Frustration is fine, booing makes you a bit of a dopey twat. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee On Solent Saint Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 That was a crazy game on so many levels. Really great second half, first half as poor as we've been all season. The strength of our bench saved us today. Ridiculously strong for this level. Must admit at half time I didn't think we'd turn it round, but the two quick goals just after got the belief going. Even after their third goal, you could still sense we were going to get something from the game. Just felt we had no control in the game. I think they surprised us with the way they played, fair play to them. Ref was absolutely hopeless, fell for all the play acting, and missed a couple of nasty challenges by them. At least it was 5-3 instead of 4-3 for those 13 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Gifford Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Tbf I thought their goals were pretty decent. We go up and play the big guns we would be hammered in that 1st half. We came back, the game is 90 minutes plus when we get back to the promise land another 10 or 15. I can’t get to as many games as I want these days, (youngest plays Sat 3pm) but disappointed with reaction at half time. But everyone is entitled to their opinion because of the run we are on. It will come to an end at some point, but f&!k me, give it 90 plus additional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes you wonder what will happen when we finally lose a match. Calls for Martin to be sacked? It is truly bizarre after the run we have been on. How anyone thinks that slagging your team off lifts morale is deluded. Nothing wrong with constructive criticism, which you would imagine Martin gave them at half time (as opposed to the “metaphorical booing” as suggested by a poster earlier). It is the sign of a good side when they pick up three points after a less than stellar performance. This is a team worth getting behind and that doesn’t mean booing when they go in two down at half time. As for the goals. I thought the first one took a bit of a deflection. He had no chance with the second and it is very harsh to expect him to save the third. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miltonaggro Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Big physical niggly side Huddersfield and they matched us for fitness and bullied us first half. Manning might have well been replaced by a hatstand, positional sense of Mark Thatcher. KWP and Bazunu both looked a bit out of sorts as did Fraser and Armstrong. Not sure what big Russ put in the halftime tea, but that ten minutes or so after half time was like a fucking blitzkrieg - a remarkable spell in a remarkable season. Rothwell is a class act and a very strong player, a couple of touches from Brooks were on another level, deft and decisive - rare. Edozie a right handful and Mara looking like a proper centre forward, the angle for his goal would have done for Adams, I’d start him v Bristol. Sulemana is mad as a box of frogs but a joy to watch as he terrorises oppo defenders. That felt like the old McMenemy you score four we’ll score five days! 25 unbeaten, remarkable. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Clarke Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 I notice people saying that we've had this long run, but we've not played anyone decent etc etc. During this run... Southampton 3 - 1 Leeds United Southampton 2 - 1 - WBA Coventry 1 - 1 Southampton Hull City 1 - 2 Southampton Norwich 1 - 1 Southampton Watford 1 - 1 Southampton Millwall 0 - 1 Southampton I'd say the above are a pretty tricky bunch of games in any season, and they've all been part of the run. Not sure why some neutrals are trying to down play it by saying we have a tough run coming up. That tough run includes Millwall, Bristol City, WBA, Hull - we have already beaten all 4. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
