Will be overlooked by the haters. 

Most of them won't have spotted it, they'll judge him only on the men he beats and goals.

Great goal. Armstrong has been one of our best players lately and that was a great assist topped with a great volley. Mesmerising. Something to protect now. 

 

Kudos to the Minamino header in the attack a bit earlier that Redmond had saved. We look fluid in attack. Need to keep it tight defensively.

 

I know he doesn't get sent off much but Romeu on a booking is a worry when Traore is on the pitch. (Although it's Moutinho he's fouled twice...)

It was a great tackle. Referee fooling for their play acting. 

I thought they were going to get him sent off for a while

VAR won't look at it if it's a second yellow either, hope JWP is in the ref's ear about their play acting.

Confidence wise, this is looking more like 2020 Saints than 2021 Saints 

We are. Snapping away in midfield and putting pressure on the opposition forcing them to make mistakes. Great touch there from Redmond and then a complete cock up of a shot. Sums him up.

Adams scores there, Redmond...not sure what he did but no doubt I’m just being a hater.

Ladies and gentlemen I give you Nathan “clown shoes” Redmond.

I think the commentators are going to need a change of pants at half time given how much they're eulogising about Ings' goal :)

Everything ok?

Try watching the game. If a player plays horribly, people will point it out.

Can't be long before we get the "wish we would stop fannying around with the ball at the back" brigade piping up... ;)

Shame you didn't see the goal. It was a belter. Redmond did great.

I get why we draw the opposition out. But playing the ball back from the right wing position to the goalkeeper always seems nuts to me as we're doing that to try and create the space to build up back to the same position.

Alright Ally Mcoist, let's not start wanking over players for existing in physical space that the opposition try to push past.

Great half from Saints. Back into our 2020 pomp. Here's hoping it's not one of our 'game of two halves' performances though.

Thought Redmond was better than the scapegoat gang are making out.

Not at all, but when the opposition goal is to be found in front of you, it's an idea to move towards it if you want to score. Had plenty of team mates in front of him, but opted for his usual instead.

Good 45, can't ask for much more than that to be honest. Good control in the middle, good defensive shape and defensive distribution (welcome back to Vesterball).

Minamino has been very quiet I have to say, struggled to get into the game so far.

Redmond has worked hard and has pulled into some great spaces, his runs and off the ball play have been excellent. It's just a shame what happens whenever he gets the ball and has to do something with it!

Yeah to me it was fantastic skill but then he held onto it for too long rather than playing through ball to Minamino and ended up having to play backwards.

Fuck me, let's not give credit where its due eh. Football isn't all beat a man. Too many 'fans' haven't got a clue.

Hopefully we can keep a clean sheet as ings goal is worthy of winning any game! Hope we dont think one nil is enough in the second half and we really put the pedal to the metal instead of tippy tapping in defence

If our greatest praise of Redmond is "he stood up in the box" do you really not see what the problem is?

I know people on here don't like it being said but redmond has no end product time and time again!!! The most frustrating player. On top of that what frustrates me more is that when he ballses up just laughs

Good half that, although a bit worried that we tend to flag in second halfs whilst Wolves usually get stronger as the game goes on. JWP and Romeu utterly magnificant and also it's been great to see Armstrong back in form. He did dip around the time he got COVID. No idea whether that is coincidence or had an impact, but he is definitely back now. Redmond is well...Redmond. He does 1 thing in 5 right. Some will focus on that 1, and others will focus on the 4. I posted this in the Newcastle game but gonna share it again. Here are some stats as of last week. 

Redmond- 11,515 EPL minutes for us- 19 goals, 12 assists

Armstrong-4,627 EPL minutes for us-11 goals, 7 assists

Shane Long- 9,339 EPL minutes for us - 27 goals, 20 assists

Tadic- 9, 617 EPL minutes- 21 goals, 30 assists

Djenepo - 1, 735' EPL minutes-3 goals, 2 assists

Che Adams - 2, 827' - EPL minutes - 8 goals, 7 assists.

Boufal - 3, 072'  EPL minutes - 3 goals 2 assists

 

No player has been given as many chances over the last five years as Redmond which such a mediocre return. His game hasn't developed. He still plays like an enthusiastic nipper on his debut.

Great first half. Restricted them to nothing and looked reasonably threatening going forward. 

Having our first choice back 4 playing together is huge, it's been ages since we've had them all.

All our players doing well despite the weirdos hating on Redmond.

So out of 10 how many woudl you give Redmond for that half?

Yeah he clown shoed it about 10 times but did you see that bit where he stood still in the box? 11/10!
