KWP should do better with that

Pretty much the sort of starting line up I expected. I'd like to say I don't care but I do. I can only hope that there's some sort of unfathomable master plan to make Chelsea fall down laughing.

The frequency with which opponents simply gallop unchallenged through the centre of Saints midfield and defence is becoming a bit tedious. Maybe it's time to try something different. Maybe 4 at the back and ditch the man-to-man stuff just to see how it goes in these remaining pre-Championship friendlies.

FT. Not too many boos basically because the stadium is empty.

Brighton stroll through the centre again. They could have had nine if they'd tried.

All the time the last Saints defender has to make a desperate tackle otherwise the opponent is through on goal.

Brighton stroll through the centre of the park again. Saved this time but should be five.

0-4 really does not flatter Brighton at all. Saints are awful.

This time it's 3. An unchallenged break through the centre of Saints midfield and defence. Seen it far too much now.

Was that a shot on target from Saints? Easy save.

Brighton miss another sitter. They're feeling generous.

12 points seems a long way off at the moment.

Cross first time FFS!

Shot in foot again. 0-2.

Easily offside.

Sulemana off now. Dropping like flies.

Brighton should be worried. Saints defence is all at sea, the midfield like a sieve and the attack can't be arsed but they're still only one up.

Have to be grateful it's only 0-1. These performances are just getting worse.

Good run and cross from Sully but nobody trying to get across the defence for a tap in.

Corner to Saints!!!

Saints totally clueless. No threat to Brighton at all.

And there we are. Brighton break the Saints defensive line one time too many. 0-1.

Saints are just an incoherent shambles. If they end up with 11 on the park I'll be surprised.

Just a matter of time. Brighton miss a sitter.

Saints defence gets exposed time and time again.
