Palace 1-0 Saints - Match Thread

[Saint NL]

AMN hasn't done much, but he's massively improved the team

[OttawaSaint]

RH looks down and out on the bench.

[AlexLaw76]

Better, we are now pressing them and they are not able to get it forward as easily/much

[Saint_clark]

We should be giving Edozie a decent amount of time today.

Agreed, surely we will see him in the next 10 mins

Not rocket science is it.

Looks like a man who is one defeat away from the sack.

[AlexLaw76]

Really good there for Lyanco

Stark contrast to the man who constantly coached and motivated the team from the touch line during the lockdown football.

[OttawaSaint]

I think we should try scoring a goal. Would definitely help...

[Maggie May]

Shame we were so bad in the first half. We won’t get anything from this now, Palace don’t give up leads.

[Saints foreva]

Championship standard Che Adams.

He should be smiling not sulking he's been given more chances than any premier League manager ever 

[nta786]

Have a feeling this will be another 1-0 defeat now and Ralph will discuss the "fine margins" again... 

Except that it isn't about the margins all the time... our performances in a lot of our losses warranted a defeat and that is why it is worrying.

[Disco Stu]

Smart defending by Lyanco.

[OttawaSaint]

Ohh Adams, see that lad in green, not near him, ok? Got it?

[SaintTex]

You have GOT to bury that.

Thought that too, showed him loads of space on his left foot so he opened up for the shot and then closed him down immediately.

[AlexLaw76]

ffs, Adams.  Has to score

[Sheaf Saint]

Oh Adams. Terrible effort on his left foot.

[Dorchester Saint]

Can we all just admit that Adams is shit now please. 

[BotleySaint]

We have had the chances to get back into this.

Just poor finishing.

[obelisk]

Adams misses another sitter.

[Disco Stu]

Adams can't finish when he has to think. Give him a header or acrobatic shot anyday.

[Saint_clark]

Had the time to take a touch as well...

[Colinjb]

Can see a draw here, prolonging the Hassenhutl purgatory.

I think that these are the intricate details that Ralf tends to ignore for the most part.

[Saint NL]

If Che could finish, we'd somehow be winning this. 

[stknowle]

Adams is our best striker. 🤦‍♂️ 

[Saint Fan CaM]

Another terrible miss from Adams - unforgivable.

[jamesfp1]

Oh Che. 

[Saint_clark]

Because he doesn't finish every single chance that comes his way? Ok.

[AlexLaw76]

Fair play to Lyanco. Defending pretty well here

[OttawaSaint]

Incredible that a bunch of dickheads on a forum knew better than Saints that a top striker was priority #1.

We didn't need Larios, Mara etc but put all that cash on a decent striker.

[Sheaf Saint]

Time for some positive subs now Ralph please. Get Edozie on.

And if we'd bothered to turn up with a decent game plan in the first half we wouldn't have wasted 45 minutes,

Adams all round play is good finishing has never been the best part of his game unfortunately 

[Saint NL]

It's like the players swapped shirts at half time. 

 

[Sheaf Saint]

Close from JWP.

How many fucking goals had he scored since we signed him ffs!! 😂😂😂

I agree, but he's not shit. We can't afford a striker with an all round game AND the ability to hit 15+ goals a season.

Pretty sure Ralph knew, he was convinced we were getting one the whole window

[AlexLaw76]

Newcastle battering villa - we have them soon dont we?

For me, he has to be scoring at least one of those chances

[Vancouver Saint]

Honestly, be fair. Che hits it first time, low, on target - it's a good save. First chance I agree could have worked the 'keeper better but let's give the goalie credit for a good save - it wasn't a crashing miss.

[Saint_clark]

26.

12 assists too.

38 goal involvements isn't shit.

We definitely should have got a striker in whatever the cost and Adams as support striker

Newcastle next. It’ll be easy, Howe is useless can’t spend money and gets teams relegated. 

[jamesfp1]

Where are the attacking changes then
