Burnley 1 Saints 1 - Match & Reactions Thread

[Jonnyboy]

Was their goal really a handball?

[Saint Albert]

Redmond to Sims, nice far post delivery from Sims to Carrillo who plays the ball to Gabbiadini, who looks to have practiced a little bit of the dark arts to get to the ball ahead of the Burnley defender and smash it in from close range.

 

Dyche is apparently rather grumpy that the referee let the goal stand.

[John Boy Saint]

Nice assistance from that bEllend Bobby bloody Madley apparently!

[Suhari]

just imagine what we could do with a half decent manager??

 

8th!!

[whelk]

Play gabbi and sims every week. This clueless manager is such a c*nt.

 

He hasn’t been doing that every week tbf. But yes Sims must start

[alpine_saint]

This.

[Donatello]

Playing two strikers the way to go....?

[Wade Garrett]

If Reed has anything about him, Pellegrino will be sacked before the team get home. Even if we do hang on for a draw.

Not a chance

FT 1-1

 

Did Gabbiadini just save Pellegrino’s job?

[St Chalet]

FT 1-1 out of the relegation zone.

[nta786]

commentator: credit to Pellegrino for playing the right substitutions.

 

if only they knew half the story.

 

full time 1-1

[hypochondriac]

A very very fortunate draw there. Offered virtually nothing all game. Gabbi and sims should be playing all the time.

[Jimmy_D]

Point away at Burnley is a decent result this season.

[DT]

It was still awful and not enough but could be an important point. Why at this stage of the season MP HAS TO BE CHASING THE GAME.BEFORE GOING REMOTELY POSITIVE IS BEYOND ME

today, Pellegrino ineptitude was on full show.

 

Just watch sims start the next game on the left

 

decent point but why did he wait till. we were losing to go for it

 

he is a Disgrace

 

harsh on Burnley but we have hid it against us

[VectisSaint]

FT 1-1

Pellegrino will not be sacked before the end of the season.

[He should be, but our useless management team (Read and Krueger) don't have the balls to do what is needed]

[Mr X]

lets not forget we got out of jail here!!! Burnley deserved the win

We strumbled upon it, FFS.

By left I assume you mean left on the bench?

[Dalek2003]

Bmf did us a favour by getting a late draw and Brighton beating the Swans.

 

Having said that we look likely relegation candidates. Stick or sack MP ?

[OldNick]

who cares,how many times have the boot been on the other foot??

[Saint Benali]

Awful game of football and on reflection a draw was a fair result. Both teams were dire and scared to go forwards until the last 15 mins.

 

18% win ratio after 28 games is pitiful. Just a shame we have a **** in charge who would rather us go down than admit he made mistakes.

[Saint Pete]

Very lucky point.

 

Stand by for the bull **** in the post match interview about our “character”, how it shows we are growing, and how everything can change in the next few weeks.

 

Don’t fall for it Les, he has to go now.

[Baird of the land]

We needed to go there & get a point, especially given other results. Not a particularly good display. Hopefully Gabbi will go on a run now.

Still really not a fan of Carrillo but if he is to play we need someone else like Gabbi in and around the average lump.

Sims nice and bright, not a afraid to have a go too. Hopefully he's involved more. Would love to see Hesketh in too.

[richardc]

damn hoping we would lose that and could concentrate on the cup

[davefoggy]

Sack this 'manager' tonight and give us a chance. I honestly believe we could do no worse by having no manager right now

[max_saints]

Just put us out of our misery.

[Bridge]

We look fu.cking awful...No drive all game until Sims came on...Carrillo is so isolated and Cedric was pants! Please god sack this frigging manager!!!!

[Saints foreva]

All that goal has done is papered over the cracks. We will struggle to beat Stoke next week.

 

The clown is here to stay.

[Simon3737]

Well done Gabbi! Sack the guy who won’t let him start a match!

[hackedoff]

YES!!!!!!

Where have you been since Wembley Gabbi????

 

Up front on his own with no support being eroded as a player and then dropped. Same thing will happen with the new bloke.

[harriesss]

Terrible result as the manager will keep his job. Draws aren’t good enough.

really? Burnley haven't won since early December. A very very winnable game if only we had a half decent manager

[IOWSaintDaz]

Sims and Gabbi need to start games and Tadic and Redmond need to be benched

[Wrensup]

All this does is give MoPe another game

[mrfahaji]

Burnley weren't great today, but boy were we lucky to get an equaliser at the end. Pellegrino can normally point to a 'spell' in the game where we've done ok, sometimes 5 minutes, sometimes 20 minutes (rarely longer), but I'm not sure we even had that today.

[Pamplemousse]

16th now!

 

#WeAreStayingUp

 

Stoke game is a MUST WIN though, we can't be doing with another draw.

[Jonnyboy]

Agreed, not good enough when teams like Huddersfield and Brighton are picking up 3 points.

[Pamplemousse]

They don't give away much, they very rarely give away the lead once they go in front.

 

Same result as Man City achieved just a couple of weeks ago.

[Victor]

FT 1-1 out of the relegation zone.

 

I think you'll find we are very much IN the relegation ZONE.

[Jonnyboy]

Why can't people realise that he is going nowhere?

[mrfahaji]

Sims and Gabbi need to start games and Tadic and Redmond need to be benched

 

In general I agree, but it sounds like you're hinting that Redmond was awful today. I don't think he was, certainly no more than the average Saints player. I would prefer to see Sims or Boufal play instead of him because I think they are more unpredictable and direct, but I won't be slagging off Redmond for his performance today. It was even his calmness following the Madley clothes-line that started the move for the goal.

[S-Clarke]

Needed to win this, yet we almost lost it. A really tepid effort to be honest, seemed more worried about Burnleys attack (yes, Burnley's attack) than having a good ourselves.

 

Draw just papers over the cracks for me. Club is drifting to sleep.

[St Marco]

One win in fifteen. That is 6%. How anyone can survive in a job with that level of performance is crazy.

[Jonnyboy]

I think you'll find we are very much IN the relegation ZONE.

 

Out by goal difference, wow.

[Saint Fan CaM]

What an absolute shambles of a game. Team set up incorrectly from the off. Redmond starting AND finishing the game...why? I’ll tell you why....because England management were there to watch him (although fook knows why...he is Shiiite). This was a clear indication that this manager has no idea how to coach an attacking side and no idea how to tactically out smart his opposition. I still maintain we will go down with this clown in place, but I also maintain that Krueger and Reed will not act...spineless, clueless muppets. Rant over.

[qwertyell]

Never want Saints to lose, and in the final shake up this point might prove to be crucial - but it just feels like dragging out the inevitable.

 

At least if we'd lost, the board MIGHT have finally done something about the feckless imposter of a manager. But not now. And so the failing regime struggles on for another week.

 

Pleased for Gabbiadini. He's a far better player than we've given him a platform to showcase. He must watch Shane Long and now Guido Carrillo starting games over him and wonder what the hell happened to his career.

 

Josh Sims should play every week now he's fit. Redmond, Tadic and Boufal have been our biggest underperformers all season - it's time to give the kid a go. Direct, positive, enthusiastic: he's a breath of fresh air among that bunch of rancid chickens.
