CB Fry Posted 18 May, 2021 Posted 18 May, 2021 Well, at least we can take comfort from a decent half of football during the post-mortem of the inevitable defeat. 2 1
qwertyell Posted 18 May, 2021 Posted 18 May, 2021 Lot of huff and puff but shite in the final third. Found ourselves with someone running at the heart of their defence several times but lacked the composure and quality to play the right pass. Probably shot our bolt now. Maybe put Djenepo and Walcott on in the second half... What have we done to deserve another game of Efan Ekoku and his weird grievance against all things Saints related on commentary?

stknowle Posted 18 May, 2021 Posted 18 May, 2021 Played well in that first half. The better side without ever really looking that dangerous. We've been here before several times this season.......................

HarvSFC Posted 18 May, 2021 Posted 18 May, 2021 JWP on a mission. Hit the bar, almost got his head taken off, won the ball back and then won a foul all in quick succession.

OttawaSaint Posted 18 May, 2021 Posted 18 May, 2021 Bloody hell. Bamford channeling his inner Che. Looked like McC had fucked up!
Saint_clark Posted 18 May, 2021 Posted 18 May, 2021 That's why I prefer Forster. McCarthy is dodgy as fuck.

trousers Posted 18 May, 2021 Posted 18 May, 2021 Surely that's a foul on Bamford regardless of whether he goes down or not, ergo should've been a penalty?

Expand Kind of agree but you're into a whole new labyrinth of clear and obvious interpretations if they start giving penalties that could/should have resulted in the attacker going to ground when they didn't.

Expand Hardly an advantage. By the time he got to the ball the defender had recovered and he was practically on the touch line. Had he gone down, that’s a pen. Why shouldn’t it be when he stays on his feet? Stonewall. 1

Expand Would have been the perfect opportunity to try and stop players going down easily but instead the refs are effectively encouraging it and making their job harder. Said it before but don’t see why the Premier League that wants the best players in the world doesn’t go and get the best refs from other countries as well.

Mike Riley, is absolutely useless as the head of PGMOL.

Expand Of course I know about that, and in this situation if he hadn't got to the ball after the contact then it should be pulled back. But he still got the ball after the contact and still did nothing with it.

Chewy Posted 18 May, 2021 Posted 18 May, 2021 Can we clone Armstrong? Need him centre mid and number 10
Sheaf Saint Posted 18 May, 2021 Posted 18 May, 2021 So if that's a yellow card for Strijuk, how on earth did Harrison not get one for his tackle on Djenepo?

OttawaSaint Posted 18 May, 2021 Posted 18 May, 2021 Playing some delightful stuff but that final shot/ball is lacking. Come on Saints, bury one!

Expand But there wasn’t an advantage, was there. By the time he got the ball, the chance to slot it in had gone. If that had happened the other end, you’d be outraged. Edited 18 May, 2021 by SKD
stknowle Posted 18 May, 2021 Posted 18 May, 2021 Fuck me this is playing out like so many games this season. Completely 2nd best in the 2nd half after being the better side in the 1st. Would happily take a point.

If that had happened the other end, you’d be outraged. Expand No I wouldn't. But you know what, sure, it should have been a penalty and I'm sure we can all agree that's yet more evidence that Forster should be number 1 instead of this ridiculous rotation policy.
Saints foreva Posted 18 May, 2021 Posted 18 May, 2021 Very poor performance from us this half. We need to step it up a few levels.
