Wolves 0-2 Saints - Match Thread

[Ohio Saint]

stone cold goal on VAR

[stknowle]

How refreshing

[Sheaf Saint]

Fucking FINALLY! A VAR decision has gone in our favour.

[obelisk]

That's the way to beat their high line.

[Ted Bates Statue]

Website was initially claiming 'VAR check - goal not given' 🤢

[nta786]

Wow big let off against Utd or Newcastle that would have been punished

Silvas scream registered on the seismometer 

[sydney_saint]

I know Bertrand has been getting some stick recently for 'slowing down' but that's a couple of assists in the last couple of game. He is playing cute little balls in behind.

Who did ?

[obelisk]

Salisu needs to ignore those lessons where he's told to fanny around with the ball.

[nta786]

Salisu did well there though!

[obelisk]

Good cover by Salisu.

Maybe he's been training with Armstrong.

[stknowle]

Whilst that was silly I generally like the look of Salisu

[Saint Fan CaM]

Stop fannying around you fooking idiots...just put it in row zz! Jeez, we're going to be the architects of our own demise despite going ahead. Think we'll need another 3 goals to put this to bed!

Really?

[nta786]

Salisu did well there- good centre half to have in a foot race it seems based on this hour

EDIT: Adama Traore came up on my picture- perhaps time to put theory up to test lol

Salisu is mobile for a big guy. 

[CanadaSaint]

KWP and Salisu vs Traore. Should be interesting.

[Sheaf Saint]

Oh crap. Traore coming on. We never seem to be able to defend well against him.

I'd rather that than Vestergaard tbf.

[CanadaSaint]

Sorry, I meant Bertrand

[sydney_saint]

We've given our transfers some stick, but imagine spending 35m for Silva whose only talent seems to be rolling around and screaming. He should have done much better there and slid in the forward player. He's also looked pretty dreadful every other time I have seen him. Sure, he is 18, but if you spend 35m on an 18 year old you will want him to become a 50m+ player to make up for all the time spent developing him. He looks miles away from that.

Is Traore as good as this fella?

2 moments there where Che Adams would have held it up better than Redmond ever could 

[Sheaf Saint]

Ings was too selfish there. Had better options around him.

[Avenue_Saint]

Salisu looks a rock

[igsey]

I feel like we're pressing better and more effectively than we have done for ages. 

[jawillwill]

I do wish we would stop fannying around at the back.

[egg]

Traore looks like he's oiled himself up bodybuilder style. Odd. He'll be a good test for Salisu who's looked good so far. 

[nta786]

Wow Redmond needs to score

 

but amazing play by Armstrong!

[Jonnyboy]

Oh redders

[DT]

Pass it to Ings and it’s game over. Redmond a bit wasteful there. Again. 

[CanadaSaint]

Salisu’s body language suggests that he’d love to take it forward, but Ralph has told him to keep it simple and defensive.

[Mr X]

Redmond always one touch too many!

[Edmonton Saint]

Did anyone expect Redmond to score?

Are you that bloke that sits at the back of the Kingsland and screams "GET IT OUT!" any time the ball crosses the halfway line?

Or square it to Ings who would've had an open goal 

[Saint_clark]

Neto always turns it round against us.

[stknowle]

Kin ell Redmond.

If you ignore the Wolves defender between Redmond and Ings, sure.

[Saint_clark]

Ralph too slow with the subs again.

[nta786]

Yep agreed that was the better option

Although didn’t do too much wrong there except not find the corner I suppose

I’d like to see expected goals stats for this game we’ve had a number of good chances

Of course not.

Straight at the keeper, just like always.

[DT]

Get Redmond off. Please.

I'll need to watch the replay again but I thought Ings had broken clear of his marker and there was a path for Redmond to play the ball through. Maybe not as clear cut as I thought though

I disagree on this occasion. We're one nil up and relatively comfortable. Keep things  as they are IMO

[Sheaf Saint]

I really don't get it with Redmond. You watch him and it's obvious he's not lacking in skill and he's got a decent turn of pace. But he's just sooooo easy to defend against.

You never see defenders at full stretch trying to stop him, do you.

[DT]

Slow the game down. Make subs. Win fouls. We never seem very good at this bit. Ralph’s game management always seems a bit ‘leave them to it’. Always feels like the other team are still in it. Especially at 1-0 and with us missing chances. Bertrand’s game has really gone too. Slow and misplacing passes. Come on Saints. See it out

[Mr X]

Risky from Bertrand
