Co-comm: too slow, isn't he Elyounoussi?

Yeah I heard that, not sure many would disagree

Same old. Delayed playing the ball through and gives away possession - WH play it forward quickly and have a shot just over the bar.

We never seem to learn.

[Saint_clark]

Elyounoussis excellent first half forgotten already I see.

[Saint_clark]

We didn't concede from their first shot on target!!!

[Saint NL]

Bazunu makes a good save but he never gets any distance on his palm away. He always falls into a dangerous area

[OttawaSaint]

Ely should have shot there, let Adams pick up the rebound.

[Chez]

Great break. Ely has to make that pass.

He did well but that final ball was never going to beat the defender.

[Saint NL]

Good break, unlucky again.... Good effort this

very poor punch. He's got lucky several times doing similar. At least he's not stuck to his line, but needs to improve that facet of his game.

[Bad Wolf]

West Ham only 13/2 to win

[CB Fry]

Lets see if we can get to the sixtieth minute without conceding.

[Jack]

Genuine question, has anyone ever seen Joe Aribo sprint? Never seems to have any urgency about him 

[Sheaf Saint]

Perraud did well there cos we were outnumbered in the middle.

[Chez]

Perraud does just enough to stop the cross. Neither striker in the box were marked, which is a concern.

[Bad Wolf]

Apparently some WHU fans kicked out for racially abusing KWP. If that truly was a foul throw, I'm now even more delighted it got given.

[OttawaSaint]

FFS, now we've gone back to side back hoof, lose possession. Get a grip Saints!

[Saint NL]

DCC taking down two of their players. Looks a bit of a big lump at the back which is always handy

[Saint_clark]

Much better from Bazunu from that corner.

[Bad Wolf]

Most interesting thing so far in the second half: I just saw someone I know in the crowd....Always fun when that happens

[Chez]

Armstrong may not have the confidence to just go straight for goal, but he certainly puts shift in. 

Good claim by Bazunu.

[OttawaSaint]

Let's see if we can get to 70 without conceding...

Must be an edge of the seat game then.

[Chez]

Maybe time fo us to make a change. Maybe get Edozie on for Aribo?

[USaint]

So fucking predictable 

[Saints foreva]

Good closing down lads. 

[Bad Wolf]

There it is

[St Chalet]

FFS

[Turkish]

Here we go again 

[OttawaSaint]

We back off, we back off we back off. Never ever learn.

[obelisk]

Too easy for them Saints. That's what happens if you give up midfield.

[AlexLaw76]

about to say, they are completely dominating midfield.  We will lose if he does not do something

[HKsaint]

Aribo is a pedestrian. 

[OttawaSaint]

Hasn't scored for a year. Of course, of course 😂 

[jasonb]

Rice hadn't scored for a year! 

[BTW Saint]

That’s it. How many times, Can’t hold a lead. Time to show some character.

[skintsaint]

Looking forward to the quick 2nd

FFS I'm blaming that goal on you.

Terrible defending to leave Rice that space.

I'm such a fucking twat!

[saintant]

That's what happens when you don't stay on the front foot. Never learn. Next goal usually follows quickly so hold on to your hats.

[Lee On Solent Saint]

Only one team going to win this now. It ain't going to be us

[AlexLaw76]

All over us.  Ralph HAS to do something

[jasonb]

Big 10 mins this now.

Predictable it's against the most generous side in the league.

[GDog07]

May as well prepare for that inevitable, gut-wrenching 2-1 loss whilst holding a 1-0 lead for half the match.

[Chez]

Bollocks.

JWP done by a one two, Carleta Car doesn't come out anywhere near quick enough. Been coming. 

[OttawaSaint]

Our own worst enemies. We look ruddy awful now!

[Nieldy]

West ham have got there tails up now.Wouldn't it be nice to go a couple of goals up for once and enjoy the game.

Yep. They're completely overrunning our midfield now and the defence is so exposed. Can't see us not conceding again.
