Saints vs Shrewsbury - Match Thread

[northam soul]

We are really bad at breaking teams down when they get behind the ball.

And as I am typing Shrews attack and get a shot away

[Chez]

Chauke is a non entity. We offer very little threat going forward - we have a solid spine, not much else

[DT]

Dear god. Shane Long. Even for him this is an atrocious performance

Can you imagine how many Arsenal would put past this lot (them not us)?

A full strength Arsenal?

[verlaine1979]

I'd take off Long and Chauke and give someone else a try.

We’d put just as many past if we had Ings/Armstrong/Walcott/Redmond/Adams (okay not just as many but be comfortable tonight)

I feel like it is these sorts of games where Djenepo would shine

Need to change it Ralph

[obelisk]

Saints as bad as ever in the final third.

[DT]

Played Valery. Brilliant. What a waste

[Chez]

absolute pile of wank from Valery.

[Baird of the land]

Long looking a bit better this half, dropping deeper to link up play after an anonymous 1st half.

not buying this Valery good going forward stuff. He's looked completely unimpressive.

I take it back, that cross was abysmal

[Saint_clark]

What a save there.

For Nlundulu, to "the wanderer"

He's the type of guy who likes to rubnaround,

When he gets hit he never goes to ground,

He kicks em and he heads em, cos to him their all the same,

I don't know where he came from, I can barely spell his name, 

It's Dan Nlundulu, yeah Nlundulu, he runs around around around around around...

This is really good hahaha

[trousers]

Should be 2

[BotleySaint]

To be fair this mix of players has not played together before. But an hour in, we are still lacking cohesion.

A mixture of poor crossing, lack of movement throughout the team and lack of belief I think.

Need some changes.

[DT]

The kids are not alright

[Saint_clark]

Stephens passing further than 5 yards is atrocious. Nearly plays a Shrewsbury player in with an underhit passback to Forster then kicks it straight out for a goal kick trying to play long in.

Yes I am more than slightly concerned that some of these lads are on the subs bench in the premier league.

Surely we wouldn't risk throwing them on at that level.

Why are you wetting yourself?

[Chez]

some really dodgy back passes tonight. Forster has been kept on his toes.

 

[Saint_clark]

That looked in to me...are they using goal line tech in the FA cup?

 

[DT]

Ralph. Do something

[Suhari]

Pretty poor now.

No spark or drive. But no need for it, either.

[trousers]

Damn... Close...

Yes, just what he needs

Because we look shit

[Saint_clark]

Brilliant from Diallo.

[Chez]

looked in that

A fraction on the line

Dominating and have lead with second string side. What’s the big problem?

[DT]

Diallo looks a class above. Him and Ward Prowse.

Give it three months and he'll be crapping himself because he thinks we're selling N'Lundulu ro Tottenham.

Not got BT then

Have you not seen DT post on this forum before...?

[verlaine1979]

Watts has a great first touch.

I am watching it calmly. Are you screaming at the tv?

[obelisk]

Keep giving away stupid free kicks and expect trouble.

We’re using the Ings money to buy (free agent) Theo Walcott apparently.

[Saint_clark]

Feel like using Adams for 20 minutes would be the smart thing to do here.

[DT]

Yes. You always seem like a level headed person.

I've changed my mind. he does deserve the stick. He's as bang average as I always said he was.

He's not even that good.

Deffo

[Chez]

Vokins has basically stood at left wing the whole game, but involved in absolutely nothing going forward. Formation pointless if you don't actually feed the widemen.

Jesus what a chance for them

[Killers Knee]

Just noticed the Shrews have a sexy Admiral kit, they made one of the best ever shirts for Saints

[obelisk]

Here's another free kick donated to them/.

[Mr X]

Shrewsbury have been pretty impressive defensively & we haven't had any cutting edge this half, we do seem to have a trend of being poor in the second half
