[OttawaSaint]

Dirty challenge. We've had straight reds in the past for that.

[coalman]

How is that only yellow?

Dozed off there at the back. A TAA moment from KWP.

KWP kept looking over his shoulder at where Sessignon was but then decided to let him have a free header.

Red card there surely...?

Could easily have been a red card.

[Disco Stu]

That looks a red.

Normal service resumed I see -as you were. We love giving away leads don't we!

What, a lead we took in the 12th minute? I think I can forgive us for conceding a goal in the remaining 80 plus minutes, away to Spurs.

[John Boy Saint]

Nah - “too early in the season”.

Who scored for Spurs?

[OttawaSaint]

A bit sloppy with our clearances.

Sessegnon scored then got a yellow for lunging in on KWP

80 minutes - it only took a few didn't it!

[VectisSaint]

The points dropped from a winning position caption will get an early airing.

[Disco Stu]

JWP red against Chelsea last season was tamer than that.

[Saint Fan CaM]

That deserves a red, but we know it’ll not be given.

We’re dominating midfield but too slow in attack to take advantage.

Yep, and Djenepo's last red too.

[The Kraken]

Said it before but I don’t like this 3 at the back formation. Just looks too vulnerable down the sides. Maybe it’ll look a bit more solid with Perraud instead of Djenepo, who just looks lost at times defensively.

[The Kraken]

Good save Baz.

[OttawaSaint]

I don't think AA has had a touch apart from his first time shot. Adams sounds hold it up better. 

[The Kraken]

Poor defending from Valery.

McCarthy sound have let that through him. 

[Saint Fan CaM]

Armstrong is like a statue - no anticipation of what the next play will be - no strikers instinct.

[The Kraken]

Fucks sake. Another cross, another goal.

[OttawaSaint]

FFS 2-1

[Saints foreva]

Still can't defend for shite under this clown. 

[OttawaSaint]

Eric cunting Dyer...

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Fooo...

[saintscottofthenortham]

Absolute crock of sh*te at the back here. 

[trousers]

Cock

[Holmes_and_Watson]

That was a soft one to concede

[Killers Knee]

Dier free header, unmarked and unchallenged 

[SNSUN]

Please keep the score down Saints. 

[AlexLaw76]

There we go. 
 

[OttawaSaint]

Awful from Valery (turns back to player) and Bednarek (ball watching).

[Disco Stu]

Still can't defend crosses I see.

[trousers]

Another 2-3 it is then....

[LGTL]

Doing what we do best 😎

[Saint Fan CaM]

FFS - too slow getting out to stop the cross and Bednarek a statue.

Neither should be anywhere near a Prem starting XI.

Ralph's reason for dropping him was lack of defensive ability, wasn't it?

[OttawaSaint]

Clearly the 3 CBs isn't more secure at the back. They get pulled all over the place.

And the first #toldyouso medal goes to.... 🏅

[obelisk]

Two goals conceded from simple crosses. Saints looking vulnerable.

Yeah you can't really be a good manager if you can't invent a magic potion to turn poor defenses into world class ones.

Also, cancer still not cured. Ralph out.

[saintant]

3 centre backs and we still can't defend crosses. 

[Disco Stu]

As expected Armstrong is totally absent.

Even though this is Valery's first ever bad game at CB?

Hindsight really is a wonderful thing

[Saint NL]

Is Armstrong on the pitch?
