Saints 1-2 Brighton - Match Thread

[stknowle]

BOLLOX

[obelisk]

FFS!

[Saints foreva]

A free fucking header from a corner. Slow as fuck from Forster too. 

[Heisenberg]

Oops 

[Saint_clark]

Forster slow to react.

[Mr X]

Should Frazer have done better? Maybe not

[Crab Lungs]

That was bad from Forster

[LGTL]

Shit from Bertrand, Forster a little on the slow slide getting down to it. 

[Ed Rooney]

Can we stop the Forster love fest now 

[egg]

Awful defending. Even worse from Forster. 

[igsey]

McCarthy saves that.

[Micky]

How much time did they have on the edge of the box to get the original shot away... 

[Lord Duckhunter]

Bertrand woeful defending, Lurch moving in slow motion. 

[Sheaf Saint]

The ball was clearly not in the quadrant when that corner was taken. Why doesn't VAR check these things? 

[DG]

So easy.

[Suhari]

Oh dear.

[nta786]

Commentator: “The irony is that Brighton have been one of the worst teams from scoring from set pieces this season”

[James]

Forster back to acting like a sack of spuds. Should have got to that. 

[Mr X]

Wasn't the most powerful header and was right where Forster was 

[SNSUN]

That was coming. From their most likely source too. 

 

Arse.

 

Now is the test of our confidence.

[Yorkshire Saint]

Its desperate but that corner might as well have been a free kick it was so far out of the quadrant... we look bloody leggy and slow atm 

[stevy777_x]

Hahahahaha Forster, well now you ve got your answer once has shots to face.

[jimmer42]

Free header powerful, low and right in the corner

Can believe the keeper is being blamed....ridiculous!

Was screaming that at the telly too, how’s the lino not spotted that.

[wadesmith]

DON’T PANIC!.....DON’T PANIC!!!!!

[The Cat]

Crap start. Need to stop them playing in the gaps. 

That header was decent but Forster went down in installments and probably should have saved it.

[hypochondriac]

We have looked absolutely shit so far. 

[jabei]

Possibly Bertrand could’ve tried to head the corner away instead of trying to barge the player?

Pointless whinge. We defended badly and Fraser was frozen. The ball 6 inches over wouldn't have changed that.

[OttawaSaint]

Bertie caught napping. 

Now muffs it in opposition box.

He’s a total liability.

Did you not see him go down in stages with the reaction of a snail 

[LGTL]

Am I being harsh in thinking Forster could have caught the shot that went out for a corner too?

[Chez]

The lauded Forster looks comfortable with ones straight at him, but a low ones, not so much.

It's been worse than that.

I thought that. Modern way I’m afraid they all parry everything

It wasn't a real rocket All he had to to was get down quicker or stick a foot out as was in the right position

Fuck this shit

[Heisenberg]

Just glad we are 1 million % safe 

Lads are on the beach 🏖️

Not at all, cheap corner give away. One for the camera

We didn't defend it well, I'm not denying that. But rules are rules and the goal should not stand. 

[The Cat]

Brighton throw themselves at everything which is what we weren't doing against Man City

[igsey]

Bertrand absolutely phoning this one in so far.

[Dorchester Saint]

Utter ****s, jumping straight onto the back of Forster because of a mistake....

Quite, if Vest had done that at the other end we'd just be saying what a fine header it was.

Or anyone else 

[Chez]

Diallo with man right up his arse makes it look easy, which lead directly to the chance. That little bit of quality makes all the difference.

I'm fed up with the whingeing and excuses from fans.

Players need to do their jobs.
