Saints v Rochdale build up and 1st half

And we've been here before :-( opposition park the bus across the goal, we put everyone forward, slightest error leads to a quick counter... Stating the obvious I spose, can't see properly on the box, do we need someone staying deeper at all times?

 

The problem comes from not having anyone close enough to the players. The defensive line was fair enough, the midfield completely disappeared.

Kelvin didn't cover himself in any glory. Should've done better for their goal. Having said that the performance is dire. Whoever comes in has a awful lot of work to do to turn this team into a winning one. We will struggle to make the playoffs at this rate.

I think Martin told Fonte to stay the wide man but he didn't, and that was the guy who scored.

 

Fonte should have stayed with his man but Martin just kept backing off. Looks like Fonte didn't trust Martins inexeperience to me. Fonte has been poor I think......lots of balls just walloped upfield to no-one. Alex OC has looked good and Scheinderlin started well. Lambert has been nowhere, doing nothing.

I hope there are some seriously good loans to bolster this team. The new manager has a hell of a job on his hands - Oxlade - Chamberlain our MOTM so far from what I've seen...

 

The annoying thing is the players we have ARE very good for this league. I have no idea why we can't f*cking translate that into wins though.

Half time. As normal, no end product. ****ing useless.

 

That's the trouble though, it's not 'as usual'. Against Orient we created 6 or 7 gilt-edged chances...but through a combination of goalkeeper, post and luck we only got one goal. Today we've only created one such chance. Big difference

this. Actually Fonte in the end dithered and did neither. He was at fault for the goal, and KD should have easily saved it! Very edgey - need a strong manager in quickly!

Too panicy in front of goal, doing all the right things to create loads of chances then not taking 1/2 second to think when it counts, we really should have had 2 or 3 1st 1/2

lambert done next to nothing again and puncheon cant seem to do anything right atall. very poor display i just hope martin isnt to badly hurt.

Not true. Some lovely one twos, but some terrible shooting when he gets it back.

one decent on target shot from him, but only him and chamberlain are actually trying to score.

Very frustrating here again. We have been holding them in their half but just cant break through. Bus. Parked. Much.

 

Lambert has lost it. Puncheon shouldn't be in the side (not just based on this game)

 

Thought it was only a matter of time before a goal came. Didn't realise it would be that end though.

crap first half...Chamberlain trying very and has impressed.Lambert is not at the races.Martin was pulled out wide for the goal but should have been tracking the runner going into the area behind him.its all very flat......rumour doing the rounds that not only fonte handed in a transfer request but also connolly.

 

sent by Nokia n900 with use of my fingers with a little bit of depression thrown in for good measure.

Yeah, he's sh*t now because he's not performing to his ridiculously high standards in an underperforming team, get rid.

How people can knock Puncheon I don't know! he's about the only one that looks like he gives a toss, yes some bad strikes of the ball on goal, but also the only one that has had a clear shot, and produced good link up play/
