Saints 2-0 Norwich - Match Thread

[igsey]

Norwich finally look like they want to play. Worrying.

[Saint_clark]

There's an equaliser coming if Ralph doesn't change something here. Perraud on for Livramento and Schlong for Broja.

[HKsaint]

Time to go down and have treatment 

[BotleySaint]

Can see Norwich getting something here. What is Ralph doing?

[Mystic Force]

Armstrong is at his best when he can run at the opposition, when they have sat back there is no opportunity to do it.

[OttawaSaint]

Sitter missed by Hanley. Get that second Saints!

[obelisk]

That's the trouble with spurning chances to get a comfortable lead. At 1-0 Norwich know they have a chance and Saints will get the jitters. Time for Long to wrap it up.

[qwertyell]

In danger of fucking this up. Been way too casual this half. No intensity.

[OttawaSaint]

Gel time. Romeu down...

I'm trying to work out why this game has largely passed Armstrong by. Down to the way we're playing or something to do with Norwich snuffing him out? 

I dunno, was pretty decent for an hour but gone stale like the rest of the midfield as Norwich finally getting players forward. Ralph needs to freshen it up, some pace eg Redmond or Armstrong A. Take one of the 10s off and Diallo to shore up a bit.

[Croissaint]

Sometimes I look at Romeu and think he’s some kind of genius. Has such a brain for it

[Saint_clark]

...what?

[OttawaSaint]

Broja for Stephens. Interesting...

[obelisk]

Stephens on for Broja? 😲

Old school Ralph

[igsey]

Slightly weird but he does like going to a back 3 to see games out.

Expect Shlong or AArmstrong to come on in a few mins.

[Saint_clark]

Prowsey to wrap it up.

[igsey]

I have genuinely never heard of any of these Norwich substitutes.

[trousers]

JWP territory

[Sheaf Saint]

How's that not a foul on Ely then?

[CB Fry]

Let Adam Armstrong have a go

[OttawaSaint]

Ohhhhh. Close!

[CB Fry]

Shane Long has come on so that means goals goals goals

Not really (in terms of JWP's standards)

I like to call him Shane Goals 😍

[Saint_clark]

We've abandoned the press in favour of sitting as deep as possible. We aren't winning this game.

 

Edit for those coming to the thread late...I was trying to tempt fate the entire game by posting negative predictions. I was comfortable.

Ralph riling him up, choosing Long ahead of him. Just waiting to unleash him on some poor unsuspecting team..(West Ham?)

Relax. Yes, we are 

[Mr X]

Even a bit of schlongfavored to AA not looking good for him, Where's tella these days BTW?

Yeah, replay confirms that.

Still recovering from injury (?)

[SNSUN]

Anyone else nervous? We've not been at our fluid attacking best tonight. I'll take a scrappy 1-0 but all it takes is one Norwich attack...

 

Still, this man could change things.

 

 

Not sure who I'd have for MOTM though, Romeu or KWP. Romeu probably. Or Angus Gunn for them. 😶

[OttawaSaint]

Good effort Ely from Stu pass. 

[Saint_clark]

Why do we let Romeu shoot from range ffs.

[The Kraken]

Correct, bbc report pre game said he is not available.

[nta786]

ROMEUUUU

Nope

[Sheaf Saint]

This has got 1-1 written all over it

[OttawaSaint]

13th corner...Yessssss!!!!

[Mystic Force]

Romeu man of match decided

 

[stknowle]

Foot like a traction engine

[obelisk]

At last a shot not straight at Gunn. Romeo strikes a fantastic goal.

[trousers]

NEVER. ANY. DOUBT. WHATSOEVER

[Gingeletiss]

What a goalllll

[CB Fry]

That's why he needs to shoot

[AlexLaw76]

Beautiful strike. 

 

We have scored some lovely goals this season 

 

[The Kraken]

Oh my!

I was going to say he was my MOTM before that
