Stevie Synex Posted 24 January 2012 Posted 24 January 2012 Yesterday 09:50 PM #39 saintant "Complete shambles. No passion, drive or commitment. Couldn't control the ball, pass it accurately over five yards, there was no movement, no pressing on their midfield who, given the freedom of the park, strolled around and did what they liked. We were second to every ball and bottled the fifty-fiftys. Not one player comes out of that with any credit. What's happened to our fitness? We were totally one paced - snail pace and appeared unable to up the tempo at any stage. Yes, we had key players missing but that does not excuse such a shoddy and lacklustre performance. Pathetic for a side that should now be capitalising on a brilliant first half of the season"This is a rant from a Southampton fan taken from one of their forums AND THEY ARE CURRENTLY SECOND IN THE LEAGUE!I think we ought to give some of our lesser patient followers a bit more slack because this is unbelievable!

Corky Posted 24 January 2012 Posted 24 January 2012 It's going to happen, expectation is raised and people think that it should be brilliant every week. Saints were poor last night but are you surprised people get reactionary? Look at some of the posts on here when we were comfortably in the play-offs a couple of years ago.
THEBIGJOHNSTEADER; Posted 24 January 2012 Posted 24 January 2012 Nothing wrong with that IMO. They were crap
pSinatra Posted 24 January 2012 Posted 24 January 2012 They've seen what happened to Derby last season & are rightly worried
Alexikokopops Posted 24 January 2012 Posted 24 January 2012 We can't talk, we were similar when we were bossing League 1 and dared to lose a game
MattGamble92 Posted 24 January 2012 Posted 24 January 2012 It's funny how when a high profile championship club loses a home match that passion,determination,fitness of certain players and wages are all mentioned. And everyone is always second to every ball and lacking in the final third.
5waller5 Posted 24 January 2012 Posted 24 January 2012 I don't think many teams would have lived with us pressing that hard and moving the ball so quickly .... I was really impressed with US and didn't think they looked bad at all.
Al-aLondon-Foxile Posted 24 January 2012 Posted 24 January 2012 I was surprised at their fans booing them off at HT. They've been top for some months, and that behaviour is ridiculous.
Dan Posted 25 January 2012 Posted 25 January 2012 People shouldn't praise shit performances no matter how well you've been doing, if it was slating the season I'd understand but they're criticising one game, and rightly so.
foxfanazer Posted 25 January 2012 Posted 25 January 2012 I don't think many teams would have lived with us pressing that hard and moving the ball so quickly .... I was really impressed with US and didn't think they looked bad at all. I agree, I think we played it as if we were playing a premier league team in the cup. Got in their faces right from the off and didnt give them time to get their heads up and look for a pass. Our energy levels were superb, definitely think that side of our game is improving. Then when we had our chances we took them. Perfect away performance!

flowwolf Posted 25 January 2012 Posted 25 January 2012 On that showing ( and the Southampton fan should have started his rant with that ) Southampton will not last the pace. as soon as they pick up injuries to a couple of key players they look ordinary. standby for a re-match with us at Wembley in the play off final.
