Hog 0 Posted August 18, 2007 I got back today after a 40 hour journey, no sleep for over 24 hours, so u had better win! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
St.John Cooper 0 Posted August 18, 2007 I would have like to have seen Dublin and Chadwick start over the doc and croft or lappin, any thoughts? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ivana_rubyatitz 6 Posted August 18, 2007 Glad to see Brellier is fit because now we can see a direct contest between him and Safri (as well as it giving us a more solid looking spine). Saints have some good players but confidence must be low, so here is hoping for 2-0 to City with Brown finally breaking his duck.Come on you yellows. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Danny G 0 Posted August 18, 2007 Safri is going to get sent off i think ! he is on a yellow and soon to get another ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
St.John Cooper 0 Posted August 18, 2007 Here we go 1-0 down at home with it all to do at the start of another nothing season, I hope we turn it around but really we are where we are meant to be an average championship side. We talk a good game but when it comes to actually delivering we come up short again and again and again! By the way Grant is not good enough.

Jules 0 Posted August 18, 2007 Listening on Radio Norfolk it sure sounds ugly. Adams highlights again what we all know - we need a couple of new central defenders. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KidCanary 0 Posted August 18, 2007 otbc? are you trying to be ironic?its half time of the third game of the season and we have won 1 drawn 1, chill. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
St.John Cooper 0 Posted August 18, 2007 Its is only the first home game agreed, its not the losing which is so bad but the way we are losing. We look awful, the first few games set the tone for the season, give the players confidence and belief. We are not doing this, and if by the end of the season we miss out on the playoffs by a point or 2 or worse are relegated by a point of 2 you want be saying but it was ok as we lost games early on. Every point is crucial! How I would have liked a extra pont to 2 from the beginning of our lat premiership season, it would have kept us up!. No doubt you thought it does not matter its only the start of the seaso, chill out, do something else. I know what I would takes the points, you would just accept what reults come your way...pathetic OTBC St.John Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ginja 26 Posted August 18, 2007 Absolutely awful so far, southampton are walking all over us, should be 2-3 nil down Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

St.John Cooper 0 Posted August 18, 2007 1-1 great, that is why i said I hope the 2nd half is better! Still it hardly gives one confidence for the other 44 games over what is it again...oh yes 90 minutes plus stoppage time (you forgot to add.) Does it you?2-1 now which makes us all happy 3 points would be good but i still have serious doubt over our quality! But would be more than happy to be proved wrong! Whether we agree or disagree at least we all have good taste and support the same team (LOL)OTBC St.John Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I do think Fotheringham is going to be a revelation with a decent pre season behind him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HillsboroughCanary 0 Posted August 18, 2007 Clearly it''s not over yet, but last season we would have just curled up and died at 1 down at half time. For us to get 2 goals back shows that the team have a completely different mentality from this time 12 months ago. This is really promising - even if we don''t get all three points today (fingers crossed we do!).Some things never change though - Doc''s booked again...Oh wellBen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Citizen Journalist Foghorn 0 Posted August 18, 2007 3 points is 3 points! We were very lucky however, outplayed for most of the game, and Southampton should of had a second as the ball WAS over the line! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
