Saints vs Sheff Utd - Match & Reaction Thread

[Plastic]

some poor passing from Theo so far.

[OttawaSaint]

They are having a go at us, need to keep our shape and composure.

[skintsaint]

need to ride this out, they were bound to have a period of the game.

[OttawaSaint]

Ref missed another dirty challenge.

I reckon Djenepo would run rings around this Sheff Utd side. Expect him to get at least 20 mins

Had to expect a reaction from them in the 2nd half. We always drop off after HT and there's no way they could have carried on being as bad as they were.

Need another goal here. 

[bpsaint]

Commentator mentioning the points dropped thing just then, half expected the pointless points dropped since 2018 graphic to appear again.

Hope to see Djenepo shortly, and a push for the second

Yep, that's 3 blatant yellows not given so far.

[OttawaSaint]

Walcott needed to cross that first time.

[nta786]

Danny hasn’t his best game today. 
But I have faith he will have his moment of pure brilliance soon even if been average today. 

[egg]

Is it me or is our set up a bit different. Ward Prowse is often at right back. KWP very high up the pitch. Bertrand stepping into midfield on the other side. 

[Saint Pete]

Good example there of how being brave on the ball at the back can draw in the opposition and give you space to then move forward. Good stuff.

I think he's lost his cards.

[trousers]

Ings playing like a man who hasn't started a game for s month or so...

Yeah... The crowd don't quite get it yet though... Heard a few groans... 

 

[nta786]

2-0!!!

[striker]

That's it then. SHU haven't scored 2 goals all season

[OttawaSaint]

Yessssssss! Stu!!!

[adrian lord]

We needed that.

[Plastic]

woohoo

[waylander]

Stuey!

[trousers]

Boom!!

Knew we should've rested Armstrong...

[igsey]

Offside surely? Need the replay - delighted if it stands!

[OttawaSaint]

Alright. Wrap Danny up in cotton wool. Get Djenny on.

[trousers]

Was half expecting VAR to rule that Ings was interfering with play there

Looked like Ings was more involved initially, replay proves me wrong! Good goal, I think we needed that!

[OttawaSaint]

That was fucking dirty, went right through Theo. The ref is encouraging it.

[Sheaf Saint]

Another wild lunge not punished. Not even a FK this time.

[igsey]

Fuck me ref is having an absolute shocker.

Looked closer from the near side camera but the one behind showed how deceiving camera angles can be.

[trousers]

Time to unleash Djenepo I reckon. Also hope that N'Lundulu gets 15 mins or so too

Was just about to say I am expecting Ralph to bring on Long instead, but I've just noticed he isn't even on the bench today.

Which isn't a bad thing at all.

Yep, I would be bringing Ings off now with game coming in midweek.

[skintsaint]

Cant drop the 3 points from here can we?

I'd bring N'Lundulu on and give Ings a rest.

[skintsaint]

[trousers]

Great effort from that distance #JWP

[Sunglasses Ron]

Too early to take Ings off IMO. Need another goal or 10 more minutes 👍🏻

[trousers]

Superb pressing there from JWP

I’m still scarred from 2 boro games. 2-0 up with 89 on clock and also that one where we were 3-2 up and Boro down to 9 men.

If we're going to wait until 80 mins then it's probably not worth taking him off at all. 

[igsey]

I'd like to see Djenepo for Walcott soon

[OttawaSaint]

Adams has been effing superb today.

Will meet you halfway at 75 🙂

[trousers]

Gonna be hard to pick a single MotM... More than a handful of candidates yet again. Possibly Adams edging it at the moment

[OttawaSaint]

Vest unlucky, he’s been excellent too.

Ohh, Ingsy denied again.

[Saint Pete]

Great vision from Adams there again to play Ings in.

[bender]

SU are dreadful.  Can't remember a game which I could describe as a walk in a park but this is it

[striker]

Feels strangely good to play so poorly, and still sleepwalk to a 2-0 win. Got used to seeing others do this to us in the past

Adams a good shout. JWP has been absolutely masterful today. 

JV has been a rock again, but given how toothless their attack has been it wouldn't feel right giving it to a defender.

That ball to Ings from Adams was glorious.
