Bournemouth 0-1 Saints - Match Thread

[Colinjb]

Should be 1-1.

[Sheaf Saint]

Free header. Should be 1-1.

[DT]

soporific start as ever. sigh.

[Baird of the land]

Nice marking by Saints

[BotleySaint]

We are trying very hard to help them back into the game. Another great motivational half time team talk from Ralph.

WTF was that screeching noise before they kicked off?

Bloke on the tannoy forgot to turn off the microphone while having an excruciating shit. 

Bournemouth fans got confused as it sounded exactly like one of their chants so they joined in. 

[Turkish]

Terrible marking should have scored 

[DT]

the marking there was absolutely atrocious

[obelisk]

Dreadful defending from that corner.

[DT]

What DOES he say to them at half time? Motivationless

[Saint NL]

That's a huge miss.

Same old, do our best to chuck away a lead straight after half time

We need to be right in the ref's ear at halftime. Utterly shocking. 

Looks like we've had a word over half time, all of a sudden he is penalising Bournemouth. 

[DT]

Christ the passing is so shit

[obelisk]

Sub for AMN please.

[BotleySaint]

Not impressed with Caleta-Car. Early days but hopefully he adapts to the Prem soon

It is painful to watch

[Holmes_and_Watson]

CC should never have allowed that to get close.

[jamesfp1]

Our passing has been dreadful

From both teams. Simply awful match. Like watching conference level football.

[DT]

This is amazingly bad. Much better quality in non-league!

[Convict Colony]

How are some of these dudes getting paid 50k a week

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Handy that their control is worse than ours.

[Saints foreva]

We are losing the midfield battle....

[Saint86]

Shocking giveaway of possession from ANM then... Wtf. 

[DT]

we miss Romeu so much. Someone who cares for the ball. Doesn't just give it away. We play like it's a hot potato

[Dorchester Saint]

Win lose or draw, we need a change of manager now, even Liz Truss could get these lot playing better together than this ffs !

We only have jwp in Central midfield, ANM may as well be playing for Bournemouth. 

[FboroSaint21]

We are so sloppy in possession and seem desperate to let them back into the game. Feels inevitable now. 

[obelisk]

Saints give it away again.

[Baird of the land]

We look completely garbage this half.

[Saint_clark]

AMN needs to come off. 

Selling Romeu is looking like an absolutely mental decision now. We got so smugly arrogant about not needing or wanting any players too close/far over 3

[Hawkswood]

It's coming. He has to change this

[DT]

shouldn't the manager be sort of trying to sort out how bad we are? change personnel/shape/tactics. do something?

He wanted to leave to Girona tbf, the mistake was not signing cover! 

[Sheaf Saint]

The ease with which we are giving up possession tonight is very troubling. Lucky for us Bournemouth have been shit and done nothing with it.

As always we have no control of the game in midfield. Everything is rushed and panicky.

[Saint NL]

This is a repeat of the west ham game.

[DT]

even bring on edozie to change the momentum. attack!

[FarehamSaintJames]

AMN has done ok today, but he’s now on a yellow, getting caught in possession. Something needs to change in the centre - however our options aren’t great in the middle 😬

Could be a long half.

[Saint86]

We desperately need diallo on 🤣🤣🤣

 

[obelisk]

We're still ahead only because their finishing is worse than ours.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

RalphBall in action as we drop deep to bravely defend a slender lead against...B'Mouth. Ugh!

[Saint86]

Perraud having A great game defensively, a couple of very important interceptions and tackles.

[Sheaf Saint]

Finally ref! No FK when a Bournemouth player went over.

[BotleySaint]

We are all over the place. No idea what Ralph has been doing lately.

[JohnS]

Get AMN off - absolute  waste of space & will most probably get sent off 

[obelisk]

KWP having another 'mare.

[Saints foreva]

This is awful.
