Exactly Grim. Twos company threes a crowd. Defence is a major obstacle to our progress. Two Centre Halves and a Goalkeeper who know how to work together. Full Backs,remember them? What Fraser is doing playing there I have no idea. Sort the defence out and buy a good big centre forward.
Their winner looked to me handball, Baz was beaten by the Norwich players hand. I replayed it numerous times and that was my conclusion. Our defence needs to sort itself out,the centre backs we’re in panic mode every time there was a high ball into our centre. I just can’t get my head round playing with 3 centre halves ….
We played a bang on average championship side today and lost. I can see us ending up mid table at best. All three Centre Backs looked all over the place. Fellows was missed today. Stephen’s as Captain is ridiculous he shouldn’t even be in the side. So frustrating,the rollercoaster goes on.
One of my earliest memories of watching Saints was as a youngster being taken to Leyton Orient by my uncle to see Saints gain promotion to the First Division ,Terry Paine scored with a header, a rare occurrence that, From then on I rarely missed a game at home and saw quite a few away. Standing on the Milton Terrace in the 70/80s was an experience I will never forget,there was an atmosphere that anything could happen and it often did. London mobs often infiltrated the end and fights ensued. Some Chelsea boys came unstuck one day, but normally there was too many of them. Moved to stand under the West Stand and the Lawrie days as manager brought some of the best players to the Dell Moved to St Marys and had a season ticket for a while but missed a few games due to work so gave it up and don't go as much as I used to Have a brick in the wall there and as it says 'Forever a Saints Fan' Rollercoaster ride as a fan it is,there will never be another.
I think the atmosphere in the second half against WBA was more to do with the second half display from the team. Tonda praised the fans for their support and that was probably a lot to do with the Northam. If some fans want to stand next to the away fans I don't have a problem with that,but I would prefer that the most vocal of our fans remain in their end(The Northam) and support the team,together we are stronger.
