Saints 1-1 Spurs - Match Thread

[Saint_clark]

Debut for Simeu coming up?

[Chez]

JWP keeps hacking it away when he has time. Done it about three or four times now. It's killing us. I know there aren't a lot of options, but got to try and keep it if there is time.

It's a case of him being professional and not wanting to appear biased whereas the likes of Hoddle and Carragher can't help themselves. 

Yep Carragher in particular is so biased it’s embarrassing. 

[Chez]

where is JWPs composure?

Ugh. Getting into the territory of being bitterly disappointed at losing thus 2-1 later on after showing so much character and fighting spirit.

[trousers]

Shut the f*** up Hoddle

If you are going to just hack it away at least hack it towards the byline at half way, a throw in gives a moment to regroup.

He's probably still having nightmares about BHA.

[wooley7]

That is exactly what he gives us. Got to do everything to keep them out but one chance for Broja……

[Chez]

can we make a central midfield sub? Now would be a good time. Lots of tired legs

Romeu for Diallo for me.

Yep, bizarre that Romeu hasn't come on IMO

fair point. He looks tired to me. The Armstrongs do to. Subs needed IMO.

Ralph likes to keep them for timewasting as well...or maybe he is worried about an injury and having to play with 9.

[OttawaSaint]

10 mins plus stoppages to hold on. Going to feel like half an hour.

Is Romeu knackered from West Ham? He’d be good for ball retention

[CanadaSaint]

We need to keep hitting clearances it at the centre circle because Broja is capable of handling it from there.

he certainly looked tired at the end of that game, but he's got to be fresher than JWP at this point.

[Saint_clark]

Not sure about that change, a player coming on that gives the ball away a lot.

[Chez]

Why is Forster bot coming for that? Rooted to his line.

[adrian lord]

There will be a lot of injury time...reckon 6 at least.

[Saint_clark]

Fucking great defending from walker peters.

[Chez]

Great headed challenge from KWP to beat Kane.

Very brave.

[Saint_clark]

Not sure I like the players turning round to first pump in celebration before the ball actually went out of play though. 

[nta786]

KWP heroicism there talk about putting your head where it hurts

[DT]

Redmond? Hmmm

would have gone with Oriel. 
fraser slow off his line again. Has to help out his defenders more

amazing block from KWP

[obelisk]

It'll be even more gutting when Spurs finally sneak a winner after this performance.

[trousers]

This is going to be so f***ing annoying #inevitablelategoal

[DT]

In the 9th minute of injury time

[adrian lord]

It's like the Alamo now

Put the league table up or something.

Probably in time added on for KWP treatment too.

[adrian lord]

Well done Nathan

Armstrong was struggling to stay with his wide man opponent to be fair. Not quick enough or too tired or both.

[Saint_clark]

Good defending Redmond.

[Fan The Flames]

This is a hard watch

[Saint_clark]

More good defending from Redmond followed by an overhit forward pass that could have put Broja in on goal. 

[Chez]

Well done Nathan

he's basically playing left back

[Viking Saint]

Sweepstake on how many minutes they're going to add on for Spurs to score??

[Chez]

good bravery from Diallo. 

[Saint_clark]

Well played Diallo there.

[trousers]

5 mins added? Thought it would be more than that

[nta786]

5 minutes added on.

[Saint_clark]

Broja needs.to be smarter with his positioning. If the ball is at left back, stick yourself on the left wing ffs.

[OttawaSaint]

4 left

The referee can add more.

[Saint_clark]

Oh my god I thought we were going to get it....
