Wolves 0-2 Saints - Match Thread

[igsey]

We've started very well, hope we can make this early pressure count.

Salisu looks good

Yep, doesn't look at all overawed by the occasion

He looks decent, a couple of good headers and a good interception earlier on, nice and calm on that ball too. 

[trousers]

Armstrong makes us tick 

[ChrisPY]

Very early impressions of Salisu-

Looks like he’ll never need to sprint as he seems to have good positioning, anticipation and can cover ground quickly at a jog

Does the basics that our style requires pretty well (control, head up, moving the ball on). Know this should be expected of a Premier League player but plenty of other CBs have brought on anxiety!

 

[Lighthouse]

He's gone from the Ghanaian Vegard Forren to the Ghanaian Ian Pearce. Let's hope he can progress to the Ghanaian Chris Lucketti and eventually the Ghanaian Claus Lundekvam.

[DT]

Oh Djenepo. Horrible connection. Nice move mind. 

[trousers]

We'd be bloody brilliant if we were clinical in the final third

He looks very calm and assured

[nta786]

Everything but the finish is how I’d sum up the first 20 minutes

Dragging it wide or just slicing it

[igsey]

Wolves seem to be trying to replicate England with 5 at the back and an extremely defensive midfield, expecting their forward three to conjure something up. Every time we have a shot there's about 6 players there to block it.

[Saint Fan CaM]

60% possession and plenty of missed chances. We all know what's next right?😳🥺

[igsey]

Great clothesline from Moussa!

Win on possession and chances,lose on goals.

[trousers]

Salisu caught napping a tad there 

[SNSUN]

Ah a half 5 kick off. Am I the only person who just missed the first 25 minutes I wonder... 😳

 

Come on Saints, quarter final against Bournemouth please.

Looked like Bednarek should have got that.

Got the ball anyway, no penalty, good tackle.

Does he? Has had nothing to do, until nearly giving away a pen

[Archers Road Stand]

We are so dull to watch. You can see why we haven't scored many from open play in the last two or so months. 

[trousers]

This has got 0-0 written all over it 

[Toussaint]

We are better, but still blunt where it matters. We need the first goal

[Saint_clark]

Fuck sake this lot need to man up.

[Toussaint]

Silva is a fanny.

[sydney_saint]

Sometimes the commentators have a story they want to narrate and will shoehorn it in. Clearly they want 'Salisu is rusty'. I think he has looked good today apart from that one error. But suddenly he gets a barracking "He's got to stop doing that' and 'He has to sharpen up'. 

[Toussaint]

Wolves are all fannies. Don’t like the cold 

[markr27]

I do hope Wolves don't get the first goal - they'll be rolling around all over the shop.

Sky and BT really need to introduce a ‘Scouse Off’ option.

[DT]

Bloody hell Redmond. Runs into problems. Loses the ball. Standard. Why is he playing again? Anyone know?

Commentary off generally would be fine, bunch of boring automatons

[Wsaint]

Why is everyone saying that tackle was a "Salisu error", it wasn't a foul or a pen, it was a strong challenge. Think he's looked decent in the few moments he's had, sweeping up nicely.

I don’t, nothing better I suppose 

[BotleySaint]

Zz.. both teams looking dull. Wolves haven't offered anything. Probably score in a minute against the run of play! 

[DT]

What the hell was that? Bald waste of space

[Edmonton Saint]

Redmond as ruthless in front of goal as ever

We've just got no threat or urgency through the middle. Makes us extremely easy to play against, especially as our wide players don't really frighten anyone into doubling up.

[jawillwill]

How is Salisu pronounced?

 

Are the commentators correct with Sal-leee-su?

[Toussaint]

What sort of idiot would look forward to, and get excited before this game, me, I’m that idiot who never learns

[Toussaint]

Wolves have weathered the storm (gentle breeze) and are getting on top

[Saint Fan CaM]

How many errors will we see from Redmond. He only creates opportunities for the opposition FFS! And Djenepo is not much better.

Midfield are useless at providing any sort of service to Ings.

[HKsaint]

Why Redmond can still be in our team 

[John Boy Saint]

Reckon Redmond said to Long when he left for Bournemouth - “Shane - if you have no use for it can I have your first touch of a trampoline?”.

[niceandfriendly]

Redmond is diabolical. Genuinely can't think of a single strength of his.

[igsey]

We're missing Adams, Ings thrives alongside a proper striker and Redmond's spending too much time wide or deep and not making the same moves or passes Adams makes.

 

Apart from that, I've been impressed with Salisu and Armstrong, Djenepo and Bertrand are playing very well.

[Lee On Solent Saint]

Well that's three and a half games for FF without conceding!

[benjii]

Get Adams on for Redmond or Djenepo. It's another game there for the taking but our lack of quality in the final third is painful.
