Pards hails defensive duo
8:20am Tuesday 16th March 2010 in
-
- By Gordon Simpson » Senior Sports Reporter
ALAN Pardew has hailed the “outstanding” partnership that centre halves Radhi Jaidi and Jose Fonte have forged.
Since Fonte’s arrival from Crystal Palace in January, Saints have conceded just six goals in ten League One matches.
The pair shackled the fearsome Leeds duo of Jermaine Beckford and Luciano Becchio in Saturday’s 1-0 win.
And Pardew believes they are good enough to be a strong Championship pairing.
“They have been outstanding,” he said.
“If you’re going to push onto teams like we have and press them, then at the back you need to be comfortable that your two centre halves can deal with whatever strikers are on show.
“Now, we dealt with Beckford and Becchio very, very easily Saturday and we’ve got a different proposition tonight.
“Swindon have two good strikers and they need to deal with them and they’re doing that job.
“Our goal difference is now only second to Leeds and Norwich. That tells you that we’re not only scoring goals, but we’re doing a pretty good job defending too.”
Pardew believes the competition for places that has increased with the arrival of the likes of Dan Seaborne has taken Jaidi’s game up a notch.
“I think the injury to Seaborne has given the opportunity to Radhi to show his true worth,” he said.
“Radhi is a very, very good player, but, when competition arrives at your door you’ve got to step up and Radhi’s done that.
“Fonte is just an outstanding player and the performances he’s put in are nothing more than I expect and that’s why we paid a lot of money for him.
“But we’re going to try and make him better.
“There’s things he can improve on, but they’re an aggressive pair and I think in this division that’s what you need.
“Radhi played 40 games for Birmingham and got promoted.
“Jose played 30-odd games for Palace when they were in the playoff positions, so there’s absolutely no doubt they are good enough for the Championship.”
But it is not just at the back where Pardew has noticed a particular improvement in recent weeks.
He said belief is growing among the players all over the pitch on the back of recent results.
“I think that’s a key thing, because you can have good players and you can see them on the training ground and think, ‘I can compare him with players I’ve had at West Ham, etc, etc’,” explained Pardew.
“But they need to bring it to the playing surface, and of course they have gone up a level in recent weeks if I’m honest.
“Sometimes other players arriving can take the level of players up a bit, like the arrival of Jason Puncheon has taken Adam Lallana’s game up a level. And this is what happens, you feed off each other and it is about belief and momentum.
“Of course if we get a win tonight that will be tremendous momentum for us.”

Can't wait for a joust with Derek from Holbury today, he was a real luvvie.
I wonder what made him want to come back to the forum - oh yes a ticket swap for Wembley! Derek that is something you could have never dreamed of under the old regime.
Live and let live I say - welcome back. We all have differing opinions, which is why we spend so much time on here in debate.
Long live the King - by the way it's not Rupert in case you missed the changes in the summer!

I must admit - things are looking quite rosey at home these days, we must improve our away form on these shocking pitches, but after watching Pompey last night, was quite funny, they were horendous against Liverpool and should have been beaten by more, luckily for them, the 300 fans they took (the pride of the SOuth apparently) had one goal to cheer lol

I think Pardew maybe needs to tinker with the team a bit against these sides so it directs the players more. Maybe it's time to go to our 4-5-1 away with Ricky upfront and Waigo and lallana wide. Keep Puncheon on the bench for later in the game because there's no point in running midfielders when you can't run with the ball. Players like Wotton are more suited to these type of pitches so give him a run out. There are no excuses anymore for AP Saints have the players...he needs to prepare them right and pick the right side for every game!

Surely its better to keep the team as is and let them learn to play on rough surfaces.
What if a pitch starts off ok and we have downpour and it cuts up?.
If a footballer is worth playing , he should be able to play on all terrains.
The right side is a winning team.

We are indeed a big time club but no need to relive "past glories" as we are very much a club looking forward to bigger and better things. You will definitely be entertained tonight both by our fantastic ground and our excellent team. Nick the points I don't think so!

If Pardew truly believes what he says then he's even more of a plank than I thought. He really isn't a very bright bloke.
A draw would be a good result for both teams - Saints aren't in the playoff race in any case.
I reckon we'll win it 2-1 but fairly comfortably. Sounds like they're not preparing properly.
Saints, my second team, to go up next season or the one after - as long as they get rid of AP.
It's ok to think your team are going to win but to say comfortably against our team at st mary's at the moment is just infuriating and shows a lack of knowledge when it comes to football.

We drew with Wycombe after stuffing Norwich, lost to Tranmere after thrashing Huddersfield, so maybe the players do sometimes get a bit carried away with all the 'best team in the league' stuff.
Swindon deserve some respect anyhow, they're having an excellent season.

but you only scored 1
differnt team now,
different club now , with a were on the up kinda vibe.
as you`ll see when you come down tonite,
PLEASE TRY AND TARGET HARDING TONITE AS YOU DID THEN,
YOU`LL FIND A DIFFERNT TEAM IN FRONT OF HIM THIS TIME ,
AND YOU WILL BE PUNISHED FOR LEAVING THOSE GAPING HOLES AT THE BACK AND WIDE ,
WHICH IS EXACTLY EWHAT YOUR POST IS , WIDE

we beat you earlier in the season and we will do it again !! without half of our first team as well.....
Please come and watch you team being slaughtered by a team that have won 8 league games in a row at home
Have respect for a team that is 19 points above us and deserve to be.
I might add some have been gracious in defeat and for those I respect and wish them good luck.
