Saints 1-2 Brighton - Match Thread

[Micky]

We are funnily bad, really really bad...

[northam soul]

Absolutely fucking awful

 

[obelisk]

Defence just split apart far too easily there. That's why Saints will struggle if they lose this.

[Saint Billy]

Far too fucking easy for them. 

[Suhari]

We're a complete non-entity so far this half.

[DG]

So much space, we make it so easy.

Nope just shite marking.

Bednerek ball watching again,  at least Ralph is the best manager we can get

My god our defending is awful. Ball watchers. Shocking.

[Suhari]

That's been coming.

[Ed Rooney]

Bednarek not want to mark today. Dead central ffs 

[Heisenberg]

We are terrible 

 

[Sheaf Saint]

More shite defending. Fuck me we are hard to watch these days. 

[Sarisbury Saint]

Bednarek so far out of position yet again.

[OttawaSaint]

Bednarek is fucking shite.

[sydney_saint]

JWP pressed. Diallo didn't. Press only works if we do it as a team

[davefizzy14]

Bad defending from us 

Edited 14 March, 2021 by davefizzy14

[Lighthouse]

Another bad mistake from Bednarek there.

[supersonic]

We haven't scored later than the 55th minute for 17 league games now.

We don't look like that changing today. Truly awful performance so far 

[stknowle]

For fuck's sake. We've looked shit this 2nd half. I want to see Ralph make a game changing switch for once, not the the oppo's manager.

[Chez]

they have been all over us and carved through our middle there.  Need to stay calm, but step it up.

[Suhari]

Going to change something then Ralph?

[Mr X]

Attackers can walk through our defence at times

[Baird of the land]

Completely pitiful display by saints so far

[hackedoff]

It's like going fishing every week using soup for bait and wondering why you never catch.

[saint michael]

Absolutely fucking clueless defending. I’m sick of watching the same thing again and again 

 

[nta786]

Free kick to Saints but Che Adams should score in my opinion

[The Cat]

Should have scored there Adams.

[BotleySaint]

Ralph has lost them I think. We are so slow to react to everything. No desire to win. No leadership.

yep, but very good save

[OttawaSaint]

Adams should have buried that. 

[StrangelyBrown]

FFS bednarek and vestergaard need to take a long hard look at themselves for that one. Piss poor defending

[qwertyell]

Bednarek AGAIN having no idea where his runner is. Lost count of how many times.

Another Saints second half special - we haven't come out.

Adams misses a sitter...

[cloggy saint]

I didn't see any defensive errors, just a good Brighton goal.

[obelisk]

This free kick will make or break Saints today.

[LGTL]

An absolute sitter 

[Uncle Albert]

Come on JWP.

[Maggie May]

I can’t see us staying up

[Saint Fan CaM]

That attack typifies everything about how shite we are going forwards...i.e. we take over 300 passes backwards sideways and forwards to get it into the box let alone net....they take 4 quick passes picking up up on defensive frailties and score quite easily.  Would not be surprised to lose this and lose convincingly.

[Delmary]

Tactically we don’t have a plan ‘b’ . This is one of the most frustrating things about Ralph.

Time and time again he misses them. Every. Single. Game. 

[obelisk]

I'm expecting 25 minutes of huff and puff from Saints with little urgency followed by 5 minutes of panic.

[Sheaf Saint]

How was that a foul FFS? 

[Heisenberg]

That City “gamble” looks to be paying off..... 

anyone taking the point now? 

[Lee On Solent Saint]

We give away far too many stupid fouls. 

[OttawaSaint]

Fuck, deflection, doesn’t fall kindly. We don’t get much luck. Ball always seems to fall kindly for the opposition.

If we lose this, it does show a worrying lack of desire from the team. Can't say anyone out there is really fighting for it.

Apparently we do have a plan b and several alternatives according to some, I've yet to see any evidence 

[stknowle]

Why hasn't he made a change ffs. It ain't working as it is. CHANGE IT.
