Waiting till 3-1 i guess. Won't be long.

[saintwbu]

Bednarek is horrible, post Christmas he’s been playing like Ollie Lancashire

[Maya's Dad]

but how i it not a pen

[Sheaf Saint]

Oh great, here comes our super game-changing sub Redmond.

Fair enough he's changing it 😁

Ralph is going to get us relegated next season

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

I was thinking compare that to the defected goals at Old Trafford...

we do get plenty of luck though.

[Micky]

We are being run ragged in our own backyard by Brighton. 

[stevy777_x]

I think Forster should shout more so that so that we don’t face as many shots on goal

[OttawaSaint]

Redmond. Fuck it, might go back to bed.

Not sure it's all his fault. Players need to get over themselves. Play like they are already defeated most of the time.

[obelisk]

Redmond coming on. Not that I'm expecting anything from him.

[adrian lord]

Redmond the new Long..?

[Cricketphilly]

The midfield is so weak, we lose every 50 50

when things were going well it was down to Ralf, does the buck not stop with him when things are going less well?

[saint michael]

Defensive coaching IS Ralph’s responsibility. Ou4 defending shows no understanding of the basics of defence and no improvement. That buck stops with Ralph.

No. There’s just excuses made for him. 

[whelk]

So Tella isn’t the great white hope after all

Never seen a team have such low confidence after scoring we simply don't have the belief that we can win games anymore

[egg]

What was that all about. Awful football. 

[Lighthouse]

Wonderfully engineered Brighton free kick, from our own throw in.

[Micky]

Wtf was that throw in routine....

[Lee On Solent Saint]

Another fuckin needless free kick given away

[Jeremy Corbyn]

Everything has been terrible today

[obelisk]

Just cross the damn thing.

[whelk]

Are these cunts on pass completion bonuses?

[obelisk]

The usual complete lack of ideas in attack.

[Turkish]

Every attack breaks down when it gets to Bertrand 

[OttawaSaint]

Sick of watching these losers. Same shit every week. Clueless all over the park. How come we are at this stage of the season and this badly organized in defence? Why can’t professional players make 10 yard passes.

[Lighthouse]

And there is the trailer for the rest of the game - pass it around their box, everyone static, zero penetration, give the ball away.

[Heisenberg]

We could play till 10pm and not score again

 

 

[hypochondriac]

Awful. We should scrape another 4 points to stay up but I fear for next season. 

[Lee On Solent Saint]

We aren't going to break them down now

[nta786]

Sad to say Bertrand is not the 2014-2017 player no more. 
Our attacking play is just recycling it around the back and letting opposition get set to defend.

Where is the quick zippy unpredictable passes we had at the start of the season?

[Micky]

Tons of tippy tappy football going absolutely nowhere....

[Mr X]

True to second half form we have Been awful this half where's the urgency 

[Sheaf Saint]

Sideways, backwards, sideways, backwards. Wait for the defenders to get back in position then panic when they hit us on the break. 

This is so fucking dire and predictable. If we get anything out of this game it will be ill deserved. 

[Edmonton Saint]

Bertrand is shit. Hope we don’t extend his contract. Knowing Saints we will give him a five year contract .

[Saint Billy]

Square pass square pass square pass bad final ball. 

[Ed Rooney]

Hope that poisonous cunt doesn’t get a new contract 

[Baird of the land]

Saints just slowly passing the ball backwards. How are you ever going score like that

 

[HKsaint]

Bertrand is too bad

To be fair Brighton do like a backyard 

[Lord Duckhunter]

Bertrand is embarrassing himself now 

[Chez]

not had enough control of the game Brighton have bene good. We have not won enough individual battles

[woodsaint1]

Bertrand is absolute pish

[northam soul]

Cannot create shit when the opposition sits behind the ball.

No fucking idea and that is definitely down to Ralph.

They are pressing harder all over the pitch and we are our usual tippy tippy pass it back bollix.

looks leggy

[Pancake]

Has Bertrand actually kept the ball at any point without passing it to a BHA player?

[OttawaSaint]

He’s an utter liability all over the park. When we concede, they show the replay and he usually just strolls into the frame while the other team are celebrating.

In attack he just kicks it out or loses the ball.
