Be'er Sheva vs Saints

[Batman]

what a miss. that is a howler

[doddisalegend]

Right doing this one in the company of Big Adam and whispering Dave. First thoughts those home fans are noisy bastards aren't they. .....And VVD ****s up the perfect start.

[Chris27687]

Comon you have to score!

[Saint_clark]

Trying to head it back across goal, it seemed?? Why, Virgil???

[DT]

awful miss

[nachtergaeles]

Great ball from JWP

[LaptopSaint]

Great free-kick JWP - undefendable

[Unbelievable Jeff]

Should have scored...

[doddisalegend]

Sparta one up against inter .....

[DT]

just needed a glancing header. completely unmarked, goal at his mercy. blimey

[bpsaint]

Absolute sitter, bloody hell Virgil!

[niceandfriendly]

Oh my goodness what a miss...

[Plastic]

Couple of their players look like they are wearing padding?

[Saint_clark]

Virgil not looking completely comfortable right now.

[Unbelievable Jeff]

Virgil not looking completely comfortable right now.

 

Not sure anyone would be playing alongside Toshiba...

[Unbelievable Jeff]

****ing auto-correct.

[Saint_clark]

Not sure anyone would be playing alongside Toshiba...

 

You mean the player who's performed miles better than Fonte this season? OK mate.

[scotty]

He likes dwarf midfielders?

 

We'll find out shortly.

[VectisSaint]

Tosh

[Batman]

struggling to get hold of the ball much at the mo

[jawillwill]

Match thread is very quiet all things considered. I wonder what % of fans have just assumed it was an 8pm KO?

 

Pretty even so far. Think 1 goal will win it.

[Saint_clark]

struggling to get hold of the ball much at the mo

 

All season we seem to sit back a bit first half and ramp the performance up in the second.

[northam soul]

They are controlling this with ease at the moment, we need to step it up.

[Chez]

Smallest Saints side ever?

[Shance]

These are a really tidy side. Actually quite impressed with them so far.

[niceandfriendly]

They're looking tidy and well organised and we are looking very sloppy. Need to step it up quickly.

[bazza]

Not much to talk about so far bar VVD's shocking header.

[Saint_clark]

Virg again poor, Targett poor...giving it away too much, even if we are trying to conserve our energy.

[Saints foreva]

This is like a training game for them so far.

[jamesfp1]

Looks like they've all had 3or 4 cans before kick off?

[Plastic]

Why does JWP always wear an arm protector / cast?

[sandwichsaint]

let off there, we're making lots of sloppy errors, don't seem compact at all, they are penetrating at will,

[Saint_clark]

For **** sake, just pass it around the back and midfield for 10 minutes to keep hold of it.

[nachtergaeles]

Giving the ball away way too easily

[Chez]

Hesketh is having a mare so far.

[Saint_clark]

See high foot given all the time for that in the Prem (Martina "losing" it)

[Jonnyboy]

I thought VVD was playing for Barcelona next season?

[angelman]

Problem as far as I see is Clasie, JWP and Hesketh. 2 might be OK but not all 3.

[doddisalegend]

Saints soaking up a lot of pressure. Long quiet so far need to get some balls over the top for him to chase down and stretch their defence.

[Batman]

this is not great so far

 

Martina and Hesketh look well off the pace

[Mallagroth]

We are all over the place, playing the occasion and not doing the basics right.

[niceandfriendly]

Hesketh is having a mare so far.

 

They all look very tired. Can't keep the ball for more than two passes.

[Plastic]

Little bit of tinkering at HT I think

[wild-saint]

who has stolen cucos shirt?

[Saint_clark]

Why are we so keen to punt it long ASAP all of a sudden? Hope we do our usual trick of exploding into life after half time.

[nachtergaeles]

Problem as far as I see is Clasie, JWP and Hesketh. 2 might be OK but not all 3.

 

Agreed, Hoj needs to come on in the second half

[doddisalegend]

They all look very tired. Can't keep the ball for more than two passes.

 

Really? half of them haven't played since the Crystal Palace game.

[Chez]

so much mediocrity out there. If they recognise we are in fact pretty average and step it up, we will be in trouble. That said, we can hold on until half time and then maybe come out faster second half.

[jamesfp1]

Really? half of them haven't played since the Crystal Palace game.

I'm sure he knows that. But they do.

[Saint_clark]

Tadic on already...could destroy Heskeths confidence.
