Steve De Ridder ‘gutted’ at late leveller from Ipswich
9:39am Wednesday 7th March 2012 in Saints News
By Adam Leitch, Chief Sports Writer
Steve De Ridder
STEVE DE Ridder admitted he was “gutted” by Ipswich Town’s late equaliser.
The Saints sub made an instant impact after coming on, providing the assist for Rickie Lambert to open the scoring in only his second league appearance of 2012.
But 11 minutes later he watched in horror as Jason Scotland’s deflected strike beat Kelvin Davis.
It was the first goal Davis had conceded in four Championship matches.
De Ridder said: “It was from a ball into the channel that looked harmless enough but he (Scotland) cut in, it deflected and disappeared behind Kelvin.
“We’re gutted about it. We just had to close him down faster.
“Three points would have been important but we need to keep pushing on and not look behind us.
“We have one common goal – to get to the Prem.”
De Ridder has gained a reputation as a super sub this term.
Last night he provided much-needed width with the contest heading for stalemate.
“The gaffer told me to do my own thing and make some things happen,” he said.
“I guess I did. I took on my opponents and of course Rickie proved himself again.
“As a winger it’s special to have a player like that in the team. I just put the ball in there and he gets on the end of it. Amazing.”

De Ridder is now hoping for another chance to show what he can do at home to Barnsley on Saturday.
“I’m a player who wants to play every week and I think I grabbed the opportunity to prove myself again – but I need to keep improving,” he added.

Guly can be very frustrating for the Manager and the fans and can lose the ball in possession
(I'm sure that can be worked on in Training) - but he does have the calibre to get goals as he is unpredictable.
Last night (in some ways) was no different to my visit to Portman Road. Saints went into the lead and got pegged back.
Missing last night were GOALS from SAINTS to snuff out ipswich and we definitely had our chances first half.
It's no good dominating and having possession if we don't hit the back of the net .....
(sorry old leeds are a classic example - firing blanks under w*nker warnock)
WE ARE THE MIGHTY SOUTHAMPTON.
Our fans are ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENT - and committed and passionate (none more so that Itchen North last night with the shirts off and getting behind the lads).
I disagree (this time) with Nigel and the Keep Cool headline in the Echo .... IMO you can be too cool !!
WE MUST WIN SATURDAY.
NO FEAR-NO SURRENDER.
THERE IS NO OTHER WAY !!!!
NIGEL must exploit all areas of the pitch (remember his famous speech when he first joined the Club) and he must not try and be popular by looking at squad rotation.
NIGEL MUST SELECT THE STRONGEST TEAM AND PLAYERS WITH GOALS IN THEM.
We have 3 Options :
A) WIN THE CHAMPIONSHIP
B) GET AUTO PROMOTION
C) BE IN PLAY-OFFS
WE DEMAND PROMOTION AND THE MENTAL STRENGTH AND GRIT TO WIN THE CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE.
f*ck wet spam and reading !!
When reading come to town
(same as bore-mouth last season) ... they must be broken and we must SMASH THEM like we did to Boro. (We must neutralise the threat on the wings)
DO THE HOMEWORK - 3 POINTS ON SATURDAY - AND LET'S GET BEHIND THE LADS HOME AND AWAY TO HAVE PREMIERSHIP FOOTBALL NEXT SEASON.

well iam not sure in the end if that was 1point gained or 2 lost.the midfield does not work with both lallana and chappers missing.after llalana departed we were hanging on i my eyes for a draw.

The Leeds victory was awesome but it obviously took its toll, last night was a bit flat. Having said that we created enough chances to put the game to bed. At 1-0 Rickie had a golden opportunity which would have finished them off.

Guly was arguably our best midfield player last night. He was the only one i saw making any tackles in midfield. He also got forward to nearly break the deadlock in the second half. The rest in midfield were poor to say the least. Hammond was well off the pace. Why we cant keep posession i cant understand. How many time did we just kick it up field or out of play ? Exactly like the Leeds game, no composure no one to play the ball. Puncheon would have been much better than hammond for this alone. We were poor for most of the game but were given the lifeline we needed but yet coulnt defend a long ball to the corner flag. Saints tuffen up quickly.
Puncheon has great ability and needs to be playing, it's great when you see Lallana and Punch switching wings throughout the game! And Richard Chaplow, he's the best centre midfield player we have got. I don't understand why he isn't played there? He can boss the middle, he's a strong tackler, a great passer and he makes things happen (that's what I think we're missing at the moment).

Gutted we drew last night. Just 10 minutes away from 3 points which mean more than 3 points in itself; Puts pressure on West Ham and distance between us & reading.

We are making it hard on ourselves so lets stop that NOW!

But de ridder is a more attacking option and I think is more than just an impact player,as he is described,I would do it the other way round.
Lee is outstanding and worth his place easily,Im slightly baffled why billy sharp isnt able to oust him though,perhaps his fitness levels arent quite there,again NA knows better than anyone.
I cant see this ,at this stage of the season any other way than 2 points dropped,and agree with some above posters who say,play the strongest 11 every week,
Its getting tight but it was always going to,and reading will hit a bad patch,got to be auto,I dont fancy the playoff lottery.

That is still the case.
Adkins is right.
As always.
I don't give a flying fig for any other team. Look up not down .. oh yes !!.. there isnt anyone above us !!
I'm not worried about any other team ,.. we are better than all of them in this league....
It's down to us now ... 11 games left .. 22 points if we stay on the Adkins diet..but we can do better than that .... and then the cost of going to football will increase dramatically for all of us ...
Calmness !!

If just one of our many other chances had gone in last night - or Scotland's late effort hadn't been deflected - we'd be happy today. Such small margins make the difference between being satisfied and being gutted - but they don't make any rational difference between being judged a good or a rubbish side on the night.
We had a lot of luck on Saturday and very little last night. That's often how it goes.
But I'd have been reasonably happy to settle for four points beforehand.

Maybe a touch of wishful thinking in there, but I have a feeling that as Reading get closer they will start to feel more pressure too - and it wouldn't surprise me at all if they hit a lean spell soon. 1-0 at home to the Skates was hardly inspiring.

Nonetheless we lost two home games on the trot a while ago after rubbing Buddha and we won loads of matches last year after using the unlucky West Quay route.
I just hope we get promoted before supporting this football club gets me certified. This Saints thing is definitely sending me doolally and for whatever reason trying to win promotions seems to be even harder on the nerves than it was when trying to escape relegations.
The likelihood that Buddha is actually affecting our match results is approx 12,678,987,665,385,9
76,395,678,455,789,3
45,677, to 1. Obviously too high to be worth risking. Buddha gets rubbed on Saturday.

Guly frustrates me, just like other posts. Loses possession too often or passes to a poor option. Could do better, as all my teachers used to say! 3 points Saturday please, with or without Guly.

It's a three horse race now. Reading is going to be a big game but it comes a few days after we do the skates 8-0.

it appears pompey have escaped again, the football league are given them £200,000 each month untill the end of season.
Question to the football league;
How come you never offered this to Saints, Leeds, Luton and Plymouth when they got into trouble like the skates??????

What did I say. Watford and Reading will have their own banana skins. No worries guys, saints will win auto place.
By the time we play Reading they will have slipped away a bit. 7 wins in a row up to now, but that will end very shortly.
We are going up!

Bill Shankly's Liverpool used to concentrate on winning at Anfield and drawing away, knowing that the First Division title would then be theirs. Italian newspapers have always taken up this theme, and add to their published league tables by working out the "Media Inglese" (English Theory) using the same idea.
Nigel Adkins memorably once stated that an average of 2 points per game will see us up.
That is still the case.
Adkins is right.
As always.
I don't give a flying fig for any other team. Look up not down .. oh yes !!.. there isnt anyone above us !!
I'm not worried about any other team ,.. we are better than all of them in this league....
It's down to us now ... 11 games left .. 22 points if we stay on the Adkins diet..but we can do better than that .... and then the cost of going to football will increase dramatically for all of us ...
Calmness !!

Three very important Championship games this week each with a late vital goal. If nothing else it proves that you must concentrate until the fat lady sings.
She's been singing through 3 administrations over the last 14 years & still the Football League are daft enough to give them money!
