Paddy Kenny made some good saves too. Hopefully with Hulse now back in the reckoning we shld get some more goals next week. NineteenCanteen added 03:21 - Oct 24 A far from convincing performance until the double substition. Surely no argument now that Lambert is a luxury we can't afford when he is such a poor threat on goal and Puncheon is Chamberlain's much poorer understudy on the right. Chaplow also had a poor game as did Schneiderlin whose shooting was really poor. Davis, Chamberlin, Fonte, Lallana and Butterfield are really the only players who should be confident of retaining their place for next week and surely we have reached the time for change. theallseeingeye added 19:20 - Oct 24 Lambert was poor, no arguing, however we can't forget what he did last season, and our best players need to play. The performance was very poor, which makes the win even more important, they do say sign of a good team, is one that can win, when playing badly. The subs did change the game, and gave us an impetus, that finally saw us over the line. Lallana, although a little quiter than I hoped, is pure class, and I fear how the saints would tick without him. Kiwifiedpom added 21:16 - Oct 24 Football is an uncompromising game and success should be ruthlessly sought. There fore being nice to players is only good for physcological reasons. The anecdote about a young player seeking managers approval was told he'd played like Mathews and added as a put down Jesse Mathews not Stan Mathews. Saints did not play well today and one has to wonder what is going on at Staplewood during the week. Fonte and Seaborne were woeful the centr midfield were non existent Puncheon was to predictable. Harding was awful defensively except Lallana, Butterfield, and the two subs it was a very poor display and I think there will wholesale changes coming. ourkid1984 added 10:47 - Oct 25 I think some people expect too much from League 1 players. Wasn't Oldham above us before the game and playing well and with confidence? Did we not just come off a dissapointing defeat and performance? In my opinion we started really well and after 15-20 minutes we could of been 3 up. Did no one see Puncheon hitting the post or at least 2 good saves their keeper made? I also saw that we dominated play. It wasn't until they scored from one chance that was a lack of concentration from our defence that we started to not play as well as it looked like their confidence was even higher and ours must of been extremely low. I saw the signs that happened before we scored our first goal. It wasn't ever going to be a case of a super sub it was coming down to our greater fitness. Oldham looked tired with 10 minutes of the first half left and it showed as we started to dominate again and their legs couldn't handle Lallana's extra skill as they fouled him with a minute left. There came the 1st goal and I knew that come the 70th minute they would be getting tired again and so this proved. Oxlaide Chamberlain did make a massive inpact but I'm not so sure that he would of been able to run through their defence as easy as he did at the start of the game, they looked tired and it showed as more of our players were getting more room and space so much so that every time Lallana go on the ball he done at least one trick knowing that their players could not keep up. Lets get it right we know that Oxlade Chamberlain is a great talent but we have also seen him play for too long in games and produce nothing much. Adkins has talked about having inpact players on the bench and that's exactly what he is at the moment. Would people say that Puncheon was poor and too predictable if he had of scored, which he came very close to doing more than once. ourkid1984 added 10:49 - Oct 25 I think some people expect too much from League 1 players.
