Saints hardly able to string a couple of passes together. Palace worse than Saints in attacking third. Ref worse than both teams.

Second half can't be any worse surely.

With a bit of composure Saints could actually be further ahead as it happens. Odd game.

Decent half by Saints.  It's a real fight out there. Tella looking really exciting.  Shane Long... fantastic.  Need another goal!

I'll have two of what you've been drinking!  From what I saw Long isn't so much over the hill as in the next valley, and Tella seems to be wasting the chance(s) Ralph gives him

Long has spent most of the half lying on the turf. Come on Ralph, give AA a chance!

Is a cost cutting measure. They don't need to pay for a groundsman when Long will flatten the grass during play 👍

Bit fortuitous to be 1-0 at half time, IMO. Palace the better team.

Real lack of quality going forward. Tella's not at this level, Long works hard but is a shadow of the (not particularly good) player he used to be, Adams is no threat, Redmond has had a few nice touches but nothing of substance.

Midfield looks leggy. Prowse got outpaced by Joel Ward, who's about a hundred years old and never had any pace even when he was young.

A lot to do to close this game out in the second half.

Rather typical half by the Saints... As likely to score as to concede but we got the opener, good header by Ori, and have something to defend.
We seem on it today so if we score next, I can see us scoring a few more especially once Broja, S. Amstrong and (maybe) A. Amstrong come in...

I think we have managed the half quite well, not sure what people expect in the Premier League where every game is hard especially with our finances.

It’s rare to entirely dominate a game at home entirely with 70% possession, 20 shots on target and 6 xG or something and then be up 4-0 just in the first half.

Yes we rode our luck when Gallagher missed his header but at 1-0 up no complaints from me just yet.
