Saints 4 actual goals vs 0 Blackburn - Match Thread
Zorba replied to Convict Colony's topic in The Saints
Happy for Mara, played well. Happy for Charly, silly twat. Wee Ryan Fraser also played well. it was only 10 men but we looked much better. Good game. Well done Saints! -
Uninspiring game. Too slow getting it forward. Thought we’d limp on to win 1-0 today, which we could put down to “still getting the win even when the performance is poor” but Mara for Che and it all went downhill. Che’s contribution was good enough and was holding the ball up well right up until being taken off. It felt like a bad change at the time.. but it always feels that way when Mara comes on. This one is down to RM’s choices - Not Bazunu or Bednarek cock-ups, they both made significant contributions during the game that kept us in it. We just don’t score enough to play Russball.

Great performance. Would have liked to see AA get his hatrick. The individual errors have been virtually eliminated. Enjoyable to watch. Well done Saints. Well done RM.

Great first half, football was high tempo and good to watch. Second half started sluggish. Sucker punched and thought here we go again. Didn’t really get back into it until the dying moments but this Saints side are starting to show some real grit towards the end of games. Didn’t agree with Sulemana coming off at the time, really wanted him to get his goal. Overall, an enjoyable watch. Well done again Saints & RM. We dream on!

Happy to get a point after a terrible 2nd half. What RM says to them at half time I don’t know. They came out a different team. Subs were back to RM’s usual standard. Bree is a shit left back. Che Adams was garbage again. Mara is a waste of skin. I hope Ross is all he’s hyped up to be so I don’t have to see those two up front for us again. Another two points dropped against play-off rivals. All a bit too predictable.
-
Credit where credit’s due, good pressure from Saints at the end and generally a better performance from what I could see from my shocking stream. Great win. Martin got the subs correct too today imo. Well done saints. We soldier on!

The way I see it is you’ve got to look at the present situation like bathtime. The water’s been turning luke warm. You don’t empty all the luke warm water out ..and then turn the hot tap on do you? Which is what seems to be happening at the moment with the transition of style. Out with the old and in with the new. You’d be better off adding some hot to the luke warm and get comfortable again before proceeding to get the water piping hot. At the moment, we’re all stood in a empty bath, freezing our tits off with our shrivelled peckers in our hands, just hoping there’s enough hot water in the tank to fill this bloody bath up again. 🐥🐥🐥

2-2 They score first early from a defensive cock-up, we somehow score two because they’re rubbish. They get an equaliser in the last 5 minutes from a counter attack from our corner.. because we’re rubbish. We should be braver on the ball, 98 times out of 100 we win that game. We are getting there. Be patient. It will take time. Blah blah blah.. Rinse & Repeat https://youtu.be/f4oWpvJ0f8Q?si=GgR4aZ-V72Bmpxf4

Does anyone really buy into this? Be patient.. just a couple more years.. We’ll still be a mid table championship side. No-one will want to play for us due to the dreary “win one week, lose the next two or three” football and RM will be off - with another mid table failure and another couple of mill in the bank. I’m not but it looks like we’re stuck with it. Roll on 2025!
-
Great goal. Passes 3 & 4 are exactly what we’re missing every single game ..and the shot on target at the end of it, of course.
-
Shocking second half. First 10 minutes of Russball, dicking around with too many passes at the back. Three shit subs in one hit and it was all down hill from there. Garbage.

Alderman and sheriffs to save Southampton's identity
Zorba replied to Stripey McStripe Shirt's topic in The Saints
As long as it’s not renamed “The Southampton Way”. No-one would know which way to go. There’d be mass congestion at the start of the road and if you did get halfway along, you’d have to turn around and start again! 🚗🚗🚗 -
Happy with that result. Missed the first half so am presuming they played significantly better than the second half performance I did see. A mild improvement on recent games but thought Leeds looked well off the pace. Hopefully this is a turning point. We dream on.

& Leo Gemelli jumpers 🤣

Didn’t there used to be a shop in town called “ Bondage in General”? Sure I used to get my burgundy Sta-prest and Fred Perry t-shirts from there back in the day. Always had shit taste in clobber but wouldn’t wear that monstrosity.. for any cause!
-
That’s soooooo gay! 🤣 To be fair, it just looks like Paul Smith has sponsored the old goalkeeper shirt. They should be made to wear that shite for every game until they win.
-
Well.. Sir Alex only won 3 of his first 9 league games when he took over at United. A win on Saturday please Sir Russell 👍
-
Of course we're to blame. We must be braver!
-
Pay Potter more than he’s worth to get him here. Use the rest of this season get the players used to playing more direct football and winning football matches. See if Ross Stewart is capable of hitting a cow’s arse with a banjo.. if not, get a decent striker or two in for next season. If this fails, get ABM in. Anyone But Martin
-
No excuses now, this football is suicidal. We’ve lost to a shocking Boro side. Change the football or change the manager. Down to 15th and dropping like a stone. We slide on
-
Brave, we need to be brave! 🖕🏻
-
We will win convincingly against another Sheffield Wednesday-esque side. Martin will claim “we were brave” and his tactics are working. We will be back to “promotion favourites” and all will be rosey again. Until we play Leeds the following week and get deservedly stuffed because “we needed to be braver on the ball like we were last week” 1-3 Saints We suffer on!
-
Another mistake at the back costing us a goal. “Be brave” fuck off! Hanging on to the ball too long, too many pointless passes at the back, and being hit on the counter are all the result of Martin’s “Be brave” tactics. The football is boring to watch. When we do get over the half way line there is no-one who can finish which results in a counter attack where our defenders are nowhere to be seen. Ankersen is a charlatan that got lucky once with Thomas Frank. Martin is clueless and out of his depth. We are in trouble.. again!
