DT Posted 20 September, 2019 Posted 20 September, 2019 They're quicker to every ball. And better organised. And more technically able. Long season ahead Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
stknowle Posted 20 September, 2019 Posted 20 September, 2019 He was the only one who actually reacted and tried to do something useful. Well, you know, got to have a whinge and all that. Seriously if he was our best defender in that situation then we seriously do have problems.

Unbelievable Jeff Posted 20 September, 2019 Posted 20 September, 2019 I guess this is why I only got 23/10 on Bournemouth tonight.
Bensfcno1 Posted 20 September, 2019 Posted 20 September, 2019 I’m not sure how any saints fan who slams Jack Stephens but can be happy with this current crop of **** at the back
badgerx16 Posted 20 September, 2019 Posted 20 September, 2019 Is that correct, only 1 home clean sheet since Ralph took over ?
obelisk Posted 20 September, 2019 Posted 20 September, 2019 Yet again a good attacking situation ends in a panic pass to nowhere.
Suhari Posted 20 September, 2019 Posted 20 September, 2019 I'm bouyed and optimistic how our players share soundbites in the media about how we want to be "nasty to play against". However it seems we actually have a team of sporting Samaritans. Perhaps they'll start to get nasty in the second half?
Batman Posted 20 September, 2019 Posted 20 September, 2019 I’m not sure how any saints fan who slams Jack Stephens but can be happy with this current crop of **** at the back I don’t get this point?
stknowle Posted 20 September, 2019 Posted 20 September, 2019 ****sake. Our defence is f*cking hopeless. Get Yoshida on for Vestergard and swap Cedric and Danso round. It's so simple. Surely put Bertrand on, no? He's our only actual left back (which is ****ing ridiculous in itself, let alone not playing him)

OttawaSaint Posted 20 September, 2019 Posted 20 September, 2019 Jwp has had a terrible half Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Get him off, Cedric to RWB, Bertie on.
BotleySaint Posted 20 September, 2019 Posted 20 September, 2019 To be fair they aren't great at the back either. Quite a few mistakes and a lot of space. We just aren't exploiting it enough.
DT Posted 20 September, 2019 Posted 20 September, 2019 January transfer window: a bossing centre back. Again. Please. Our last chance. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Lighthouse Posted 20 September, 2019 Author Posted 20 September, 2019 Great lofty ball in towards Cook from Cedric, that’ll work.
The Kraken Posted 20 September, 2019 Posted 20 September, 2019 Awful, awful half from manager and players
BotleySaint Posted 20 September, 2019 Posted 20 September, 2019 I see too many of our players not wanting to take responsibility when attacking. Much rather play the ball off to someone else than try to take it on and shoot.
Edmonton Saint Posted 20 September, 2019 Posted 20 September, 2019 Boo's ringing out at St.Marys at half time.
Saint_clark Posted 20 September, 2019 Posted 20 September, 2019 Two subs needed at half time or we aren't getting anything out of this. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk
DT Posted 20 September, 2019 Posted 20 September, 2019 Well. That was utterly awful. Drivel from start to finish. Helped by woeful team selection. Players playing out of position. Slow. Ponderous. Unconnected. Unadventurous. And porous. Not sure if I can watch the second half tbh Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
sydney_saint Posted 20 September, 2019 Posted 20 September, 2019 New rules apparently.I've got no commentary where I am. I thought the new rules was where there was no contested drop balls? Is it actually to give ball back to defensive team? Sent from my CPH1835 using Tapatalk
SaintAmongSkates Posted 20 September, 2019 Posted 20 September, 2019 We’re not very good are we [emoji33]
obelisk Posted 20 September, 2019 Posted 20 September, 2019 Something badly wrong there. Defence is shot and as an attacking force Saints have no guile or pace. I reckon we'll concede two more this half.
Ohio Saint Posted 20 September, 2019 Posted 20 September, 2019 That half was a complete bloody disgrace.
Saint_clark Posted 20 September, 2019 Posted 20 September, 2019 If we come out with the same line up second half I'm switching off. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk
Baird of the land Posted 20 September, 2019 Posted 20 September, 2019 We've got one. Only he's played at full back for some bizarre reason Sent from my CPH1835 using Tapatalk If you are talking about danso he’s playing Centre back and looking poor, which is I suppose an improvement from embarrassing at right back.
Lighthouse Posted 20 September, 2019 Author Posted 20 September, 2019 Bertrand for Vest please Ralph. This is one of those ‘so crazy it just might work’ defences which George Burley used to use to engineer 3-0 defeats.
doddisalegend Posted 20 September, 2019 Posted 20 September, 2019 FULL BACKS Ralph for FFS sort it out. Sent from my moto g(6) using Tapatalk
OttawaSaint Posted 20 September, 2019 Posted 20 September, 2019 One of the worst first half performances since Ralf has been here. Started badly with the dumb selection/formation. Need to sort this out, change the shape, get players playing in their positions.
Mr X Posted 20 September, 2019 Posted 20 September, 2019 everyone in the country can see vestergaard isn't good enough apart from ralph it seems.
DT Posted 20 September, 2019 Posted 20 September, 2019 Do the coaching team work on defending? It doesn't look like it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Baird of the land Posted 20 September, 2019 Posted 20 September, 2019 Sad thing is Bournemouth look there for the taking if Ralph had of bothered to play an actual proper Defence.

Saint Billy Posted 20 September, 2019 Posted 20 September, 2019 It seems to be common practice now that Ralph gets selection and positions wrong at start of games, and it only until he sorts his initial mess out that we start playing any sort of football.
Sidney Fudpucker the 3rd Posted 20 September, 2019 Posted 20 September, 2019 Absolute ****e. And people pay good money to watch this crap.
Batman Posted 20 September, 2019 Posted 20 September, 2019 This is down to the selection We have better defenders on the bench ffs let alone playing players out of position. We won’t be getting anything out of this game
OttawaSaint Posted 20 September, 2019 Posted 20 September, 2019 Booed off, ****ing deserved it. Hoj doesn’t half make some dumb plays.
Edmonton Saint Posted 20 September, 2019 Posted 20 September, 2019 According to Crook, Bertrand coming on at start at of 2nd.
Convict Colony Posted 20 September, 2019 Posted 20 September, 2019 Get Bertie on, move Cedric back and Danso in centre back in place of the lanky sloth. Also JWP seems to of lost his dead ball skills this season as he can't beat the 1st man, hojberg's ability perhaps doesn't match his mouth. On plus side boufal and Redmond looking good and romeu getting involved
Mr Saints Posted 20 September, 2019 Posted 20 September, 2019 Can’t defend and zero composure or quality in the final third really isn’t ideal. Crimimal not playing Bertrand.
Ohio Saint Posted 20 September, 2019 Posted 20 September, 2019 Nothing against Bournemouth here, but they haven't even needed to play well to get 2 goals up.
