Plastic Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 Poor performance across the board, not a bad point.
Smirking_Saint Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 Agree, had Pelle deep inside his pocket Yup, hutton of note too. Villa got their tactics spot on.... Again
Viking Warrior Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 That was never a foul the villa player dived
Colinjb Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 An away point. Incidentally, anyone know why Bertrand has a whacking great scar on his torso?
Saint-Armstrong Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 Saints' flying full-backs combine to snatch a point late on, after failing to impress in a game we dominated for the most part. Clyne with the goal. Thoughts....
Dr Who? Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 You can't win them all and we were poor, but got a point!
angelman Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 Might be good to bring us back down a peg or two.
Viking Warrior Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 I hate these two week international breaks
SaintSteve Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 Good point from a sub standard performance
Pancake Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 That was so bad I'm going to ask for my match ticket to be refunded and I didn't even go.
pangy Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 Jeez, he has had an iffy game. Like the whole side Villa look half decent when they actually try and play instead of defending Not basing it on this game,I feel that he has never looked 100% confident
badgerx16 Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 Utterly forgettable in every way 1 point gained.
trousers Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 Satisfied with that given the lacklustre performance.
Asaint4ever Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 Happy with that and a fresh squad for Sunday. Morgan didn't get booked :-)
ThreeSixty Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 Poor. But when you think it was such a weak goal to coincide
Bearsy Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 Thought Villa's back 7 did pretty well, to be fair. Not the worst point we'll scrape this season!
Verbal Kint Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 Should have won by 4 or 5. Haven't seen our final ball as bad as that in a long time. Villa were absolutely appalling
Berlin Wall Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 Draw > Lose. Happy with this away point.
Dalek2003 Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 Good result against a very obstinate Villa. We did not lose and snatched a point. Well done lads.
trousers Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 Satisfied with that given the lacklustre performance. Might be a blessing in disguise to get that type of performance out of the way before the Man City game.
Colinjb Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 Credit to Hutton, Okore and the Villa defence. That is the template on how to play against us.
Saint_clark Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 Tadic anonymous, was he carrying an injury after all?
Batman Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 We were awful. But got a deserved point. Very sloppy and slow on the ball. Poor final passes and a bit predictable Still, battled for a point. We were due a draw I guess We need to be miles better on Sunday. F'sure
Patrick Bateman Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 Okore was very good tonight. Villa aren't terrible, they'll be fine.
MongoNeil Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 Dull scrappy game, no moments of class from either side.
Bridge Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 The boys couldn't make it happen tonight...poor game and didn't look like we were going to score...thank god that ball went in to get a draw!!!!!!!!
corky morris Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 Front four were shocking. Mane abysmal! Thought substitutions should have been made earlier too. Worst performance of the season. Hope Davis is fit fir Sunday!
badgerx16 Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 We dominated everywhere but in their penalty area, where we lacked any finesse or guile.
channonball Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 Too slow in the build up for me. Mane didn't fancy it against Hutton. Too lightweight.
igsey Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 Most we could have asked for given that performance. Not the end of the world, we're still damn good on our day.
VectisSaint Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 Dreadful game, awful performance, we got a point thanks to Nat Forster gives me the willies, like having Gazza in goal tonight.
S-Clarke Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 Dominated the game, but it was dead. Does anyone know what I mean? Nothing really happened at all. If I was a Neutral I'd be asking Sky for my Sky Sports sub back after that! Good point in the circumstances, but based on how we've been this season that was trash heap standard. Not sure what was up with us, very odd display in many area's. We've got to be much better than that or we will get a bit of a wakeup call in the next 3.
Whitey Grandad Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 Final ball not good enough. It shows how far we've come when we're unhappy with an away draw at Villa.

Lighthouse Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 A point away from home, you can't be too unhappy with that. There are always going to be crap performances, tonight was just one of them.
Saint Pete Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 Strange, poor performance that. Glad to get a point in the end. Even after we scored, we still looked edgy and disjointed.
Chalkboy Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 Might be good to bring us back down a peg or two. Yep, totally agree. Reality check.
SaintRobbie Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 Pelle poor tonight. But to be fair, if Forster hadn't screwed up we'd have won easily. Clyne is fast becoming my favourite player this season.
sentry Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 Villa seem to be our new bogie team. Toby was great, Bertrand great, Clyne good, Vic was ok but the rest were below average tonight though I thought. MOM Bertrand for me for Saints. Pelle did not seem interested tonight, Forster shaky.
Patrick Bateman Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 We were awful. But got a deserved point. Very sloppy and slow on the ball. Poor final passes and a bit predictable Still, battled for a point. We were due a draw I guess We need to be miles better on Sunday. F'sure We will be. Rocket up their arses in training this week, plus we're still underdogs against Man City - it never suits us being compelling favourites. Worst strike force vs best defence as a case in point ... it was inevitable.
KingdomCome Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 Nobody played that well for Saints, picked up for the 5 mins around Clyne scoring, but generally looked like they were playing through toffee. To get a point playing like that just shows how bad Villa were. Could be worse than getting a point at Villa though.
Smirking_Saint Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 Villa played well... Well, at what they did anyway. Plenty of poor performances tonight, but all in all a decent point away to a stubborn side. Afraid it sums up our lack of depth. I await the 'we have no plan B' gang, clearly ignoring the lack of any bench options last year and this
redder freak Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 Good point against a stubborn defence. That last blatant defensive dive by Hutton and given as a free kick against Saints summed the game up for me.
Chez Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 The most Frustrating game of the season. Excellent to sneak a point, but so many under par performances. Forster still to convince me he is better than Boruc.
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 24 November, 2014 Posted 24 November, 2014 That'll do. Pelle was anonymous, Tadic and Mane poor. Not a decent cross in sight today, and I wish we could actually threaten from a corner.
