It was stephens fault, he should have shown for the pass, and then ran quicker to get on the end of Ings’ miscontrol

Bloody Stephens , made Ings take an extra touch

[Lord Duckhunter]

Fucking Stephens should have finished that sitter.

Dude, we’re 15 points above the bottom 3. Have a word with yourself.

Best to ignore him, he's always like this.

Silly goal to give away. Ings should have scored then.

[LGTL]

Chance for Ings, should have done better really.

[OttawaSaint]

Early season Ings scores that. Fuck!

I know it's only one nil but Another heavy loss and we could easily be sucked into the R word

You're not the post positive are you. We're 1 nil down. Getting forward. Have 29 points. We'll be fine.

I know stephens is the scapegoat, but blaming him for the goal is fucking ridiculous 

Expand  

They have one attacking threat which is S-M. I highly doubt he was meant to be that far away from him. When you see JWP play that role for example (as and out of position player) he sticks tight to their main threat (one time he lost Grealish they scored). Stephens was too far up

I really do think ings is going through the motions at the moment....he will be off in the summer! 

Expand  

He might not get the move he wants if he doesn't pick back up at some point.

[trousers]

The 2020 version of Ings buries that 

[OttawaSaint]

You can tell Ings’ confidence is shot because he blasted that, confident Ings usually just dinks those in.

[nta786]

Omg 2-0.

[Saint_clark]

Oh fucking hell Bednarek...

[LGTL]

Oh FFS

[CB Fry]

Ings is back to the standard he was at in the Hughes era. 

[The Cat]

Stephens own goal

[Turkish]

When your luck is out FFS

[Toussaint]

Oh joy

[OttawaSaint]

Bednarek scores...for them!

[obelisk]

Shambles.

Newcastle always looking likely to score.

[Saints foreva]

We are absolutely gash. Game fucking over. 

[Mr X]

Game over after half hour so much for a response

[AlexLaw76]

Ralph needs to up his game.  Just doing the same shit over and over.

We continue to be utterly ponderous in attack

[BotleySaint]

What odds on another 9 nil ? We are all over the place. 

[Jonnyboy]

Lol at the optimists on the buildup. 

Our form is diabolical. 

[Suhari]

Fuck.

Just when we were looking better.

[saintwbu]

two own goals for Bednarek in successive games, both Stephens fault probably 

[OttawaSaint]

That’s just plain unlucky. 

We are utterly cursed right now.

[Toussaint]

Need a minimouse hatrick 

[John Boy Saint]

The boy needs to strike a match blow it out and snap it - to break the bad luck.

[trousers]

Game over.

Hey ho. It took us a few weeks to get our mojo back after last season's 9-0

[stknowle]

Jesus H feckin Christ.

[Jeremy Corbyn]

Can we un-rescind the red card?

[obelisk]

Just goes to show that it's always worth having a shot on a day like this.

Ings should have buried one of those chances, and the game changes 

[nta786]

Dare I say it- do we need to go to a back 5 in the next game to shore up our defence again? 
It worked when we were under wretched form under Koeman, but it isn’t looking promising too many times their wingers are finding space and joy

[Norm]

Oh dear me. Let’s hope it isn’t a hammering.

[SNSUN]

2-0 against a shit Newcastle side that Bruce always sets out to defend. FFS. When things are going against you, they really go against you. No youth to blame this time, this is nearly a full XI. 

All I want today is a goal, even if it's in a 2-1 defeat. We need to remember how to put the ball in the net soon.

He’s the new Scott Marshall!

mlg: I realize the aforementioned players do not share any genetic ties...

For fuck sake saints! Sort it out you useless bunch of pricks seriously!!

[Viking Saint]

When your luck's out, it's properly fucking out...

The back 5 is what led to the 9-0 V Leicester.

[nta786]

MINAMINO WHAT A GOAL AND TOUCH!!

[Wrensup]

So does this mean KWP is the linchpin to the entire team....? 
 

 

we have such a soft underbelly that we’ve never been able to shake, it’s shameful. 

[Saint_clark]

Great goal Minamino!

[obelisk]

Great debut goal.

[Chez]

we look wide open when they break and when your lucks out. Ings has to take one of those two chances. Strikers can be just as culpable for defeats.

[Fozzybear]

What a fucking goal minamino!!!!

[Mr X]

RH needs to show that he canoan motivate this team when it's really needed at half time

Given you are clearly a little short of knowledge (Study their first goal for a clue) I suggest you swat up before making clever dick smart ass comments.
