We aren't too bad a team. But we've got some truly awful players too. Redmond there, not quite good enough. Never has been. We need better to survive.

No offence but that has been posted so many times over the last 5 seasons and still we do survive.

Redmond you DICK!

Ralph loves him. He is shite

[Mr X]

Redmond is not a footballer in the traditional sense is he? 

[Saint_clark]

NO! 

[Saints foreva]

"It's that sort of day for Redmond"

Been way too many of those days since 2016. 

[Saint_clark]

You cannot let the game run for that long that we have the ball running down the wing and THEN stop it.

😂 I said, “that sort of career for Redmond”.

Yeah. Maddening. 

[Saint_clark]

Went down holding his head, gets treated for cramp. 

 

CHEATING PRICK!

[OttawaSaint]

5 minutes left.

[Saint_clark]

What the fuck is going on?

[OttawaSaint]

Ohhhh noooo. Off the line. FUCKkkkkk

Bizarre drop ball thing?

[OttawaSaint]

Eh? Salisu won the ball?!?

[Mr X]

Dangerous free kick 

[BotleySaint]

We deserve to win. Ref clueless there.

[BotleySaint]

Djenepo put and end to that. Superb.

[OttawaSaint]

So lucky WHU. We’ve not quite had enough on our chances but they sort if ones they regularly score vs us.

Half a ball width from the winner. Fuck it!

[OttawaSaint]

Ref for Antonio.

[Mr X]

FFS 

[Saint_clark]

Fuck how close was that!

[Saints foreva]

Let that play out referee and then send him off. Terrible refereeing. 

[Saint_clark]

That's shocking from the ref. We were in!

[Sir Ralph]

Useless ref

[OttawaSaint]

Antonio dives in wildly with foot up and studs showing.

Efan Ekoku, “nah, he’s pulling out of that, nothing in that”.

[DT]

zzzzz

[OttawaSaint]

Then the ref blows up, no extra time added. FFS!

[HarvSFC]

Ref’s killing our attacks. We’re getting the decisions, but no advantages from them.

 

[obelisk]

Another draw then. Could have been 3 points but really need to be more decisive and clinical in the final third.

[trousers]

0-0

Didn't see that coming...

[Mr X]

Westham were there for the taking! And we bottled it 

[DT]

still, didn't lose

[Sunglasses Ron]

A clean sheet!!!

Pleased with that, we appear to have a bit of spunk about us at the moment.

[OttawaSaint]

There for the taking but we did nothing until Broja came on. Disappointed with the point. We don’t get much luck do we.

[qwertyell]

Take the point. A clean sheet. Slim pickings. Rallied at the end a bit when Broja came on.

Going to be a rough season with a side that can't defend, can't pass and create fuck all.

Useless ref, btw.

[Sarnia Cherie]

I hate this fixture as a rule but I am disappointed with a point. I thought we could have got all 3. Not keen on the ref.

[Saint_clark]

Back to the old formation with Broja and armstrong up top, drop redmond please. 

[niceandfriendly]

Ref you absolute pr*ck. We were through then. He didn't add enough time on either.

Great finish to the game from us. Ralph got his subs right for once. 

Broja must start next game.

McCarthy had a decent game finally.

With Stu Armstrong and Broja starting we will start to win games.

Redmond does not deserve to play for us.

Great second half of the second half. West Ham fairly poor considering the money they've spent. We deserved to win.

[DT]

Wolves, Palace and Brighton winning doesn't look great for us

[DG]

Should/could have won but our awful calendar 2021 form continues.

If Ralph had his subs right he would’ve made 3 and had 2 upfront. 
 

more points thrown away, so far we have only been poor in the second half against Everton and yet to win

He was right by pointing out how dreadful the refereeing was in that instance though. We are through on goal and all he can think about is to book Antonio, he didn't even look at Diallo.

Then he blew up bang on 5 minutes. 

[Sidney Fudpucker the 3rd]

Pretty happy with that.

If you look at the same 4 fixtures from last season (Everton. Man Utd, Newcastle, WHU) we got 0 points from any of them. This season we've taken 3pts, so it's an improvement.

Yep you're right actually. Let me rephrase, Ralph was better with his subs today. 1 upfront is madness.

You can see where this game is heading now, completely screwing up our best chance. West ham changing  gears now!

Clueless, aimless, shapeless second half here. We know how this ends.

the only way we'll get a point is if we somehow manage to get an equaliser after they score the inevitable goal.

Does Broja and Armstrong work?  I'd want to keep Broja as far forward as possible and partner him with Adams or similar.

[Ed Rooney]

Salisu getting better by the game 

Broja a beast, him and Armstrong up front 

KWP right back Livra in front 

Anyone to replace Djenepo 

Its not rocket science 

[Saints foreva]

Prior to Broja coming on, 0-0 would feel like a good result but now it feels like an opportunity missed. We were the better side once he came on and were unlucky not to find the net. 

Redmond should be nowhere near this level, he is awful yet somehow plays the entire game. Unbelievable. 

Piss poor refereeing not to see how play would play out for the Antonio Red card. Looked like we were in.

Didn’t we draw 0-0 with West Ham last season too?
