Quote: SaintsFan "You're right, stats don't tell the entire story. '"
They certainly don't.
For instance, I would suggest that while Meli isn't as skilled as many of the mentioned wingers at taking kicks, the fact that he is so dangerous once he's got the ball is enough to put the opposition off from kicking the ball to him. If we were able to field a more effective winger on the other side of the pitch, perhaps Meli's error count would go up as more kicks would go to him.

I'm actually surprised by the lack of errors from Meli, shown on those stats.

I do think it's a case of Meli making mistakes when he's in isolation or under the high ball.

Camera is focused on him and it just sticks in the memory more than say 10 or 12 knock on's with the line begging, from say a Ryan Hall.

Stats do bear out that he is not as costly as we would think, it's just the exposure of his mistakes seams more intense than others.

Top stats though can't really argue with them!!

Sincerely hope we will be able to. I don't want us to end up losing another coach so quickly!

You stupid woomaaan, Foster had his chances and more than proved his inadequacies and he had to go.
Makinson has also had his chances and has failed to impress either coaching staff or spectators, no way should he be considered before Gardner. Gaskell has had his chances only to prove he is not of the player for a Saints team.
What you must realise that these players are not children they are in fact grown men and should be able to show their talents regarding their actual first team experience. History has proven that great players show their greatness at an early age.

Excellent tackle by Meli at 14-10 that could well have resulted in a match winning score for Salford tonight.

The back 3, including the now unfashionable Wello we're all very good.

Wello ran the ball back well once or twice, but him being fullback put heaps of pressure on us. There were a few instances of where he was turned round by their excellent kicking game and it took an age for him to get back. The one where he threw a horror pass to Meli after taking too long to get back to the ball was a farce.

Would that be the pass behind the sticks that Meli dropped?

It was but you can't blame Meli for that, it was a dreadful pass from Wellens that Meli did well to ground in goal under pressure in the end.

The only cock up Meli did last night was when he slid on the ball 5 yards out and ended up in goal. Although it was pretty funny as everyone around me just thought 'typical Meli'.

I did for get about the suicide pass, but on the whole he played well on a difficult night.
His lack of pace in the attacking line didn't really come up. Although it looked to me like Charnovk was taking up the fullback position in attack.
