Bombey 0 v 0 Saints match + reaction thread

[John Boy Saint]

Time to end the two up front experiment. Austin immobile. No threat at all.

Someone was saying Gallagher was out of sorts for the U23s, he must be thinking what’s the flippin point?!

 

Far too much hoof and Hope from us so far

[OttawaSaint]

Lemina joins the yellow card club.

[striker]

When a team doesn't create many opportunities, then every chance gets magnified. The real issue is that we aren't creating enough chances, and its a midfield issue.

[adrian lord]

It happens to us all. The Imperial Dalek's eventually overrule Davros who has to create the Renegades.

 

Indeed and it didn’t even take that long:

 

The earliest mark 1 travel machine Daleks overruled Davros behind his back in “Genesis” and restarted the Dalek production line, and when he challenged them on it they simply exterminated their creator. Nice.

We’ve been marginally the better team. Not that that’s saying much. Ugly game!

[Heisenberg]

Lets just get to HT and let Hughsie work his coaching magic

[Saint Albert]

Commentator on my feed is very complementary about how Hughes has set the Saints team to nullify Bournemouth’s attacking threat.

 

Ings down with a knock, a stamp on his toe.

Sshhh don't let Merrington hear you say that he thinks its our best formation

Another decent move dies with Austin. Get Gabbi on.

[SaintZamboni]

Armstrong for Austin at half time. More midfield strength and a threat from range.

[Batman]

Hoj with the first shot on target

[Saint Albert]

Decent strike by Hoj hits it clean but right at the keeper.

 

The game’s first shot on target.

[Shroppie]

Good call

It will be long for Austin

Armstrong will come on for a wide players

It’s how we roll

Oh come on thats a cheap shot. Yes hes proved to be predictably horrendous at running our club, but you cannot knock his management and coaching history.

Not a bad half at all. We can take these points

[Verbal Kint]

Woeful game between 2 awful sides

TSN by the sounds of it. He compliments Hoedt and Stephens pairing.

[verlaine1979]

Both teams dire so far.

[Faz]

We did pretty well first half. Good shape and pretty tight, with a couple of chances on the break.

[Batman]

Just think, this is one of our better performances in the last 12 months

 

LoL

It isn't but crack on

[OttawaSaint]

Sounds like Glen Murray was stretchered off at St James’. Knocked unconscious. That’s a big blow for BHA.

Today is poignant.

I think we can definitely say that Hughes has now got the team playing the way he wants them to. I.e. disciplined 4 4 2 and hoof it up front to the cart horse Austin.

A pretty good showing from us first half. We've bossed the midfield because there has been plenty of space there. We've played far more up the left flank than the right. Elyounoussi out there hasn't done much, but hasn't had many balls played his way. Hoedt and Stephens have been solid against King and Wilson so far, but the midfield hasn't allowed that much to penetrate that far. Carry on like this and Bournemouth are going to get frustrated. The commentators have said that B'mouth have benefited from not having had as many players away on international duty, and that our players might tire, but I don't accept that, as sometimes playing more is an advantage. In any event, if any player tires, there are always subs.

[SaintAndy14]

Surprisingly for us, excellent defensively so far. I thought Hoedt had a very good 1st half, and didn't expect to be writing that!

 

Why we are starting with Austin, though, I have no idea. But the fact that even he's managed to get in behind Bompey's defense for a 1:1 surely means that Gabbi with his movement, or Long with his pace, are better options.

If Bournemouth get frustrated and push forward, then bring on Long.

I could copy and paste from a number of our half times.

 

We've shaded a first half low on quality but not taken a chance, nobody horrendous, nobody shining. Though I am a little lonely in rating Stephens so good to see him looking tidy enough thus far.

 

Expect Bournemouth to come on strong in the second. Shame we lack a bit of pace and mobility to hit them on the break if they do kick on.

[OttawaSaint]

Just seen the Glenn Murray incident. Horrible, he’s out cold before hitting the ground.

Hopefully he's ok. Looked awful.

Jesus, carved open. Wakey wakey!

Very low quality game, but we've looked fairly untroubled - not that we've troubled Bournemouth going the other way.

 

Think we can nick this. 'Mouth have got their traditional south coast derby jitters again.

This game is so low on quality. Hoof ball, directionless headers, niggly fouls.

It’s on the telly over here (TSN 3) I believe Paul Walsh is the co-commentator.

Poor between Moi and Austin attempting a 1-2 and giving the ball away with Austin’s heavy first touch.

[Cabbage_Face]

This has got 1 v nil all over it.

[Saint Albert]

Austin really struggling with the offside trap this game.

Austin really struggling with the offside trap this game.

Maybe because beating it involves moving?

Gotta say at £16m Elyounoussi looks an absolute bargain

[BotleySaint]

Been a long time since we had any regular goal threat. We seem to have no idea how to create..
