The cue to put money on Armstrong being our highest scorer this season. Cheers for the tip off DellDays 👍

FFS……banging them in at Villa is he? 🤦🏻‍♂️

[Saints foreva]

Poor from Armstrong. 

[OttawaSaint]

Ohhh what a poor finish by AA. Guild edged chance and a  great pass by KWP.

does not matter what he is doing at a different club , in a different system.  He was brilliant for us

[obelisk]

Another miss.

[Mr X]

AA has got to be hitting the target there! 

[stevy777_x]

Adam Armstrong is fucking shit.

[OttawaSaint]

Anything on target and low and that's 2-0. Leaning back, that's a poor effort.

Yes, it tells us their finishing is worse than ours.

It tells me that despite us being by far the better team so far and creating more chances, we can't get them on target.

Armstrong proving the point there.

[Saint Billy]

Fuck me, is Armstrong wearing clogs.

That should do it! 

[SaintZamboni]

This should be dead and buried. We open them up over and over with ease but cannot get the finishing.

[Chez]

Armstrong has to score there. Great chance fashioned by KWP. Should be home free by now. 

 

[Turkish]

Another game where we should be out of sight but only 1-0 up. Need a second goal

[Suhari]

We do create many more chances nowadays.

But Jesus....our finishing.

[VictiAbNonem]

Decent ball in from Armstrong there to be fair

[Saint Fan CaM]

Fucking Championship standard strikers…it’ll throw this game away and sink us this season.😉

[OttawaSaint]

How come Saints players socks are always ripped? Shit material?

[Disco Stu]

We just can't kill the game off. Our composure infront of goal is so poor. Shame we don't have Broja. Second half will be much harder as we know.

[jasonb]

We all know what's coming. It usually does. Its the Saints we know and love. Gawd bless 'em. 

Played well though. Some poor finishing aside we've been great.

I know he's been better but almost every game I forget Elyanoussi is playing. Maybe give Stu 20 minutes in that slot later?

The AA chance was a bit of a sitter

He was. But he made it clear he would not stay and wanted a top 6 club. Or Villa.

[gammon cheeks]

Ripping Watford to shreds !   Should be at least 3 up .

[Teddeer]

Haven't been watching but the forum keeps saying another easy chance missed yet the BBC stats show us with one shot on target which was the goal. Sounds like the cows arse is safe from the banjo today.

[obelisk]

Saints really should be going in at HT with at least 3 goals to their credit.

[Suhari]

Classic first half performance.

Time for the cheeky insurance bets!

[Chez]

very well played. Che and Armstrong tuck those two chances away and we would be in a frenzy of positivity. Bloody nervous we will blow it, but got to be confident we'll keep creating chances.

Every week some melt writes this. Please don't include me in the 'we all know what's coming' group.

[whelk]

Brilliant first half but fck me only one goal is criminal

[Micky]

Anything other than 3 points going to St Mary's tonight would be bloody criminal.   

[Manuel]

Armstrong has to get something on target in that half.  

[Baird of the land]

Very good frist half, with the usual caveat of we should have got a second for all that domination. Hope it doesn't come back to haunt us.

Yeah, but... we should definitely have kept a disillusioned striker in the final year of his contract because of his historical brilliance...

[Sheaf Saint]

Same as against Leeds isn't it. With the chances we've created we should be out of sight by now. The irony is the one we scored from was probably the hardest of the lot. We just keep on missing so many easy chances, it's infuriating.

Unlike Leeds, Watford look like they have a goal in them. So we'll need to improve our finishing in the second half if we want these 3 points.

I really don't want the taters to be ramming the old "dropped points from winning positions" stat down our throats again at 4.45.

Armstrong frustrating it still getting/making chances. Goal coming

A better Watford will surely come out second half, we need another goal

Sounds about right - I don't think we have found the target on any of the good missed chances or made the goalkeeper work at all. I have been on the fence about AA, and perhaps it is just a confidence thing, but he really needs to start hitting the target at least. The header maybe not the easiest chance (I think many would have done better tho), but the miss from the pullback was poor.

[Sheaf Saint]

Palace are 1-0 up at Man City and Laporte has been sent off!

Thought he did brilliantly for the first chance, another day that goes inside the post. Second chance he's got to be working the keeper though.

Forgot about his headed chance.

No sound on the three streams I've found.

[davefizzy14]

Excellent half from us hoping we can go and get 2 or 3 in the second half and kill the game off early. Che's finish a worldie

Edited 30 October, 2021 by davefizzy14

[ButtikonSaint]

Really good half and what a goal by Che....but we should be 3 nil up...

Hope we don't  mess up the the second half... Keeping fingers crossed
