Yep, Diallo for Adams?

[SNSUN]

Starting to look tired here. KWP for Tino and Tella for Moussa perhaps?

 

25 very long minutes to go...

[obelisk]

Another free kick given away. Utd will convert eventually.

[OttawaSaint]

Ok, get Moussa off, or he’s off next foul...

[Manuel]

Djenepo off please 

[Saint_clark]

Does McCarthy ever shout to his defense?

Diallo on for Djenepo, settling for the draw, which means we'll lose 3 or 4-1.

[obelisk]

Djenepo replaced before he gets a second yellow.

[CB Fry]

Sensible substitution. Try and hold on to the point.

[MarkSFC]

Basically every one of the United team costs more than our most expensive ever player, so why does anyone expect us to out play them. They will have the ball for most of the game, its whether we can stop them scoring with our defence😂

[Mr X]

Bloody hell a sub at 70 mins is Ralph feeling alright? 

[OttawaSaint]

Ralph’s reading the forum!

We’re really missing KWP. Can’t understand the thinking.

A little too much, that change of shape at half time is what's cost us.

[Ohio Saint]

I'm working at the moment, so technically I'm being paid to watch this and it still feels like a rip off!

JWP still playing?

Given how many times it's gone south just after HT, at least he's tried something different

[obelisk]

Armstrong bad miss

[OttawaSaint]

Ugh, should be 2-1 Saints. Too close to keeper.

[trousers]

Ings scores that...

[Viking Saint]

Unlucky Armstrong

[BotleySaint]

Good save unfortunate Armstrong.

I think so. He’s not been noticable at all this season.

Debatable... He made it easy for the keeper really...

[OttawaSaint]

Another chance goes a begging...

[Chez]

that's as bad as McCarthy error. Got to score there. Poor effort on his weaker?? foot.

[Saint_clark]

Naiveté there from Armstrong, in the championship he might score with a weak left footed effort but not at this level, should have gone with his right foot. 

And then a horrific effort from the corner, no excuse for that.

[OttawaSaint]

Ouch that header by AA was a really bad miss!

You mean in the whole 1 and 3 quarter games we've played? 😂

[trousers]

Why has Armstrong tried to head that back rather than in the back of the net?

[skintsaint]

but not at this level,

would have beaten McCarthy tbf.

[Viking Saint]

Should've buried that

[Saint_clark]

I don't think he did, the angle from behind him it looks like he was still trying to head it towards goal but just got in the wrong position. Also probably put off by the defender swinging for it right in front of him.

[OttawaSaint]

We actually look the most likely to go 2-1 up.

 

We know what’s coming...

[HKsaint]

Just run with the ball into the back of the net

no it's not. its poor finishing and thats the difference between winning and losing etc. Defeders get crucified for making mistakes. That miss needs to be highlighted too.

[Saint_clark]

What the fuck is this sub now, back to a back 4 with Salisu at left back!?

[OttawaSaint]

KWP on for Perraud...

[Mr X]

God you just know how this is going to play out 

[Viking Saint]

Good shift from Perraud

Yeah head down hit and hope. Then didn't even hit it that well. Composure needed.

KWP left back

Indeed, looks a decent signing on the two games so far, hopefully more to come when upto speed a bit more.

[obelisk]

One good corner from JWP please.

yeah. good spell for us. we can win this.

[OttawaSaint]

We’re reaching that point in the game where a winner for Utd will make it excruciatingly painful. A point would be awesome here.

[Mr X]

Come in saints go for the jugullar!
