DT Posted 18 May, 2021 Posted 18 May, 2021 Just now, OttawaSaint said: Uh, scissor tackle, no yellow. Djenepo has to be one of the least protected players in the league. Ridiculous that wasn’t a card

CanadaSaint Posted 18 May, 2021 Posted 18 May, 2021 Stephens looks great when he goes marauding forward, but 90% of the time it ends up with a turnover.

Ohio Saint Posted 18 May, 2021 Posted 18 May, 2021 Not even watching it. Probably feels like what if Carling was found out to actually be the most average crap beer in the world
Chewy Posted 18 May, 2021 Posted 18 May, 2021 2 minutes ago, DT said: Djenepo has to be one of the least protected players in the league. Ridiculous that wasn’t a card The refs have already sussed he’s one of the most prolific ‘exaggerators’ of injury in the league. It’s probably why there wasn’t a card to be honest. It was a card, he wasn’t hurt. Anyway, very bright start, Tella looking lively and confident, Armstrong playing well. Theo hasn’t suddenly grown a football brain.
Mr X Posted 18 May, 2021 Posted 18 May, 2021 Decent ish without threatening goal too much at the moment
RedArmy Posted 18 May, 2021 Posted 18 May, 2021 If Tella is still here in 2 years time I’ll be amazed. One for the future for sure.
DT Posted 18 May, 2021 Posted 18 May, 2021 Bit sloppy at back now. Will be hard to keep this intensity up and it counts for nothing while we don’t score. Obvs.
SKD Posted 18 May, 2021 Posted 18 May, 2021 I don’t know if it’s having the fans back in the ground and the natural atmosphere, but this is one of the most enjoyable games I can remember for a long time. 2
qwertyell Posted 18 May, 2021 Posted 18 May, 2021 Passing's gone to shit. Plenty of endeavour, but dubious quality. Leeds getting on top now.

SKD Posted 18 May, 2021 Posted 18 May, 2021 2 minutes ago, OttawaSaint said: What? no pen? Not for me, defender just a bit stronger in a shoulder to shoulder.
CanadaSaint Posted 18 May, 2021 Posted 18 May, 2021 Tella’s a nightmare to defend against. He takes a lot of defensive composure away with his speed and aggression.
LiberalCommunist Posted 18 May, 2021 Posted 18 May, 2021 It needs to be nailed on for us to get anything from this ref.
SKD Posted 18 May, 2021 Posted 18 May, 2021 (edited) Been a very good and enjoyable 30 minutes. We’ll do well to keep this intensity up for the full 90 though. The 2 wide men in Djenepo and Theo been ineffective (unsurprisingly, I guess). For all our good play, without ings, we’re very toothless. Edited 18 May, 2021 by SKD

To get the 2 that sit behind the front 2 playing well and threatening the other team on a consistent basis.
John B Posted 18 May, 2021 Posted 18 May, 2021 Ten attempts in the opening half an hour. Only one on target. It's been entertaining so far but Saints have not been able to make their chances count story of our season

The full backs seem to take up the wide space (well down the right anyway) and Che takes up the space in the traditional 10.
OttawaSaint Posted 18 May, 2021 Posted 18 May, 2021 Ohhh Adams slipped at the crucial moment, would have been a tap in.
SKD Posted 18 May, 2021 Posted 18 May, 2021 Tonight shows how important Ings is to us. If he was playing, we’d be out of sight by now. 1
hackedoff Posted 18 May, 2021 Posted 18 May, 2021 Despite playing tidy football,I can't see us scoring in this.

verlaine1979 Posted 18 May, 2021 Posted 18 May, 2021 Entertaining half, but it's not a great sign for our attacking play that our best players in terms of regularly beating their man are the two CBs.
gammon cheeks Posted 18 May, 2021 Posted 18 May, 2021 Nice football ....little end product . Theo hardly involved .
trousers Posted 18 May, 2021 Posted 18 May, 2021 Decent first half. Just a concern that Leeds will probably have more left in the tank than us in the second half 1
Mr X Posted 18 May, 2021 Posted 18 May, 2021 Decent effort but nothing to show for it as no firepower up front
Saint NL Posted 18 May, 2021 Posted 18 May, 2021 Enjoyed that. The first 20 mins or so were the best I've seen of the press this season. Just a shame we only do it when there's it's a no pressure game. Tella has really upped his game.
Baird of the land Posted 18 May, 2021 Posted 18 May, 2021 Very good start and overall the better team so far. Missing Ings cutting edge at the moment though.
egg Posted 18 May, 2021 Posted 18 May, 2021 Decent half. Neat and tidy everywhere. Good shift from Walcott, but we don't look threatening from out wide. Not sure why Ings has been benched, hard to see that it's a footballing decision unless he's carrying a knock.
Saints foreva Posted 18 May, 2021 Posted 18 May, 2021 We've passed the ball around nicely at times but the wide men have been pretty anonymous in attack.
Jeremy Corbyn Posted 18 May, 2021 Posted 18 May, 2021 24 minutes ago, HKsaint said: Second time Stephens ran up and lost the ball Yeah, it's odd. He's very good at marauding forward, makes huge gains and then gets a nose bleed and doesn't know what to do with it or tried to play a hollywood ball. If he had a couple of sensible thoughts before taking off, his runs would be very effective.

badgerx16 Posted 18 May, 2021 Posted 18 May, 2021 Liking the new midfield pairing of Stephens and Vestergaard.
Sheaf Saint Posted 18 May, 2021 Posted 18 May, 2021 2 minutes ago, gammon cheeks said: Nice football ....little end product . Theo hardly involved . That's a little unfair. He's doing good work coming back to win the ball in deep, wide positions, then releasing players in the centre to carry it forward. He doesn't have the presence up front that you might want it expect, but he's playing an important part in our overall play IMO. 1
