The Entertainers : Sun Feb 03, 2013 12:18 pm
Can't help getting the feeling that the way we started to play yesterday, for the first few minutes at least, was how everyone wants Saints to play. We were offloading, and flinging the ball about. Unfortunately, Manu let go an offload too many, which started the swing to a team that we never managed to get back. Had it stuck, the game could have had a very different outcome. Saints, the entertainers, always had a blow out somewhere in the season. Usually, it coincided with having a full strength team, and being full of confidence. We had several of these under Millward. If we want Saints to be the entertainers again, and that seems to be the general consenses, then we have to accept that days like yesterday will happen. Someone said before the game that they dont care about the result, but just want us to play to win, rather than not to lose. I don't think we would have seen yesterday's performance under Rush, or Anderson, or Potter. But equally, you wouldnt have seen the entertainers.
Bottom line is, be careful what you wish for, because it may just come true!
