Like the first team Bottled it??
Just back from Wigan. NO, they did not bottle it. An unworthy comment. Saints gave everything
How low can they sink. Despite the admission price for concessionary tickets for tonights game being advertised at the concessionary rate of £3 the wigan club decided to increase the charge to £5. Im afraid my opinion of the wigan club has never been high but this penny pinching stunt takes the biscuit.
Went to the game last night but just the 2 of us as our usual group couldn’t get there in time due to work and really pleased we did. As said above we struggled in the forwards for size and some of that is the difference in age but definitely didn’t struggle for size in the hearts, they gave everything! Great cover tackle from Welsby in the first half but a major annoyance from Welsby is the reluctance to pass to the most dangerous attacking runner on the pitch and probably in the whole league in Simm. Simm scored a wonderful first try of the game as he ghosted past his opposition centre with pace, the winger couldn’t get near him due again to pace and he is stepped inside the fullback to score under the posts. I,m not sure anyone else would have scored that at this level. This has happened all season when Welsby has played and we don’t know if he is playing under instruction to miss him out (which would be VERY strange) or he is missing him out and therefore not using the biggest threat (in which case the coach should have jumped all over that well before now). The game was there to be won last night just like the previous game at home when Saints were the better team but as said the effort last night was marvellous and we look forward to seeing how next years Academy team get on when it reverts to u18s and how the older lads progress in the reserves team. Hopefully a few of the players from last night will be pushing and indeed in the 1st team games next season. COYS
