CanadaSaint Posted 8 January, 2022 Posted 8 January, 2022 In almost every "man short" situation I can remember, including both 9-0's, Ralph has left two striker-type players out there. I've always struggled to figure out why he would opt to do that, and dismantle the heart of our midfield. 1
SNSUN Posted 8 January, 2022 Posted 8 January, 2022 We have one sub left? Hoping Fraser doesn't get injured/sent off, I'd be bringing on Lyanco for Perraud. Go 3 at the back. They'll be the dominant attacking force in extra time. I feel sorry for the bench youngsters. Had we cruised this without the sending off, Olaigbe or Chauke could have come on.
Micky Posted 8 January, 2022 Posted 8 January, 2022 The start of yet another disastrous second half of the season? I really hope not...

Our left back is utterly crap, who scouted him…. Expand And I'm sure the commentator said "he's an excellent left back..". I nearly choked on my beer 1
Sheaf Saint Posted 8 January, 2022 Posted 8 January, 2022 Well it hasn't been great o watch but I'm not going to engage in the wrist-slitting that others are. We're missing a few key players and we've played the majority of the game a man down thanks to Valery's stupidity. It's obvious they will then have more possession and overloads, and the goal they scored only came about because of a fluky deflection off Stephens. Could have done without having to play ET with a game on Tuesday, but we haven't played for two weeks so it shouldn't be too much of an issue for some of these players to play again in midweek. 3

Should have just let Forster deal with it Expand Yes I agree but most games somebody does something stupid last game it was Salisu against Brighton it was JWP Coupled with the fact our stikers are shocking with so many misses it is hardly surprising our results are pretty poor Need to cut out these yellow cards as soon as possible

Why bother pressing when a man short. Just wasted energy.
obelisk Posted 8 January, 2022 Posted 8 January, 2022 Commentators thinking it's a surprise that Swansea have the lead. It's surprising they weren't already ahead.

Suhari Posted 8 January, 2022 Posted 8 January, 2022 And that's why he's wanted by Arsenal and Leicester.
captainchris Posted 8 January, 2022 Posted 8 January, 2022 Why are we playing a left back who plays football with his hands behind his back - bloody laughable player!
Baird of the land Posted 8 January, 2022 Posted 8 January, 2022 JUst appalling from Saints. Have the ball in their half and instead of trying to go forward shovel it back to forster to give them the ball straight back. From that possession they end up scoring
Sunglasses Ron Posted 8 January, 2022 Posted 8 January, 2022 These commentators, worse than useless! 4
qwertyell Posted 8 January, 2022 Posted 8 January, 2022 Bednarek must be getting towards double figures for own goals now. Absolute donkey. Elyounoussi makes it 2-2. Extra time is already more interesting than the entire game has been thus far.

benjii Posted 8 January, 2022 Posted 8 January, 2022 Bednarek and Stephens are decent centre backs. For a lower table Championship team. Forster reminding everyone how terrible his distribution is. Ralph not bothering with central midfield. Load of old pish. 1

Sunglasses Ron Posted 8 January, 2022 Posted 8 January, 2022 We may be fucking pathetic at game management, but at least we have heart!
