Southampton made it 3 wins in a row as they killed off League 1 Rivals Hudderfield Town. However it wasn't all plain sailing for The Saints as they got off to a nightmare start when Anthony Pilkington headed-in Maric's cross down the left on just 4 minutes into the match.
Game on! - Anthony Pilkington heads home for Huddersfield Town.
Southampton eventually pulled their socks up though, as new Saints striker Nathan Tyson showed a cool head and got on the end of Rickie Lambert's first-time pass into Huddersfield's 6-yard-box 25 minutes later.
Tyson bags his second of the Season in a Saints shirt.
Southampton really got a foot in the door from then on in and started to dictate the game. This showed just before the half-time break as Irish striker David Connolly was set up by 'man of the moment' Rickie Lambert and finished comfortably.
David Connolly scores his first to take Saints into a well deserved half-time lead.
Interestingly though, Huddersfield Boss Lee Clark made 2 changes at half-time by taking goal-provider Goran Maric and Gary Roberts off for Robbie Simpson and on-loan Manchester United striker Danny Drinkwater to spark a response from his trailing team.
Unfortunatly for Huddersfield though, there was to be no such response and on 85 minutes, former Ivory-Coast Centre-back Idrissa Keita found himself with a free header from Dan Harding's corner and wrapped up the win for the visitors.
Game over - Keita seals win.
Here's how they lined up...
ah no way :(
ReplyDeletegood win tho away from home as well fair play!
haha yes :D It was a good result! Btw, I was thinking of changing the way I post, I was thinking of still reporting signings and stuff, but with the matches, rather than reporting every match of the season, I was thinking of doing it another way? What do u think? :P
ReplyDeletei like the way you do ur blog but on ur behalf it will take a very long time..id do like big games the way you do and just do all the rest the way you are thinkin for doin...
ReplyDeleteeither way its goin to be a good blog and a great read!!!
so iv just finished the 2nd season,so all im gettin is 210k transfer budget im not happy at all cant giv my players new deals!!
ReplyDeleterangers hav offered me a job wit a budget of 13,500,000 million wit a WB of 425p/w
should i take the job even tho im a celtic fan,
wat you think??btw southampton cam 3rd so they will join huddersfield in the championship next season..
eey... i told i will come check your site and i did about a dozen times but i kept shoeing me your first post when i got here so i taught you didn't keep writing...
ReplyDeletenevertheless i'd like to say that your blog is something different and i like that, especially the thing with the photos :)
the realism as well should be prised, you didn't go buying 15+ players as a lot of others would... keep it up!

ReplyDeleteAndy, cheers mate, I'm not too sure atm...I'd love to carry on but in the long-run it'll take a long time and for u guys reading it, it could be in danger of becoming a little repetitive...I mean if I'm still in league 1 in 2 weeks time or so everyone will be like "get to the championship already!" lol but yeah...not too sure what I'll do atm!
ReplyDeleteBtw I think u shud stick out with Huddersfield, try to pick up some great bargains, maybe sell them on in january, making a profit! but makesure u keep their wages down! also I think maybe u cud wait for a new invester to come into Hudderfield and buy them out, therefore getting u money!
ReplyDeletethanks mcgeady! Great to see u coming back! (must be doing something right! hehe :D) and thanks, it's hard work and time consuming for what it is, but probably worth it! I might just do the full match reports for 1 match from 1 month in my game, and just a quick report with maybe one of no pics of the game for the other matches in that month, if that makes sense! lol
ReplyDeleteor*
ReplyDeleteheh
ReplyDeletei agree that it would be probably impossible and maybe even boring after some time (both for you and for us)for you to do a match report for every match you play... but one in every 2-3 months or so would do(with the pictures :D)and maybe just giving the fixture list and the table... it wouldn't take up too much time then and would remain interesting... just a thought...
yeah absoloutly dude, I think that's roughly what I will do :) So it wont become a drag, both for me and for u! Thanks for ur advice both of you! :)))
