Lincoln could be the new Luton if this continues.

Yeovil. 

[Mr X]

Jesus Christ all we do is tap it about in defence forwards a bit then straight back again... Loose possession repeat

It’s almost systemic. It doesn’t matter who manages the team, who is the first 11, whatever formation we play… we’re just insufferably sh1t 😞

[The Kraken]

Hard to feel optimistic about Saints right now. We’ve had a month to work on a solution and we get…..this. 

If the transfer window solution is to bring in Messi and M’Bappe then we might be ok, otherwise we’re pretty close to being fucked.

[hackedoff]

My gas bill is looking better value than this crap.

[woodsaint1]

The last 40 days had been a refreshing break from the meltdowns on here. We havent been great but fuck you'd think doomsday was upon us

There seems no escape we need a complete change in everything 

[Suhari]

Terrible from AA.

[Mixedkebab]

This game could hardly have been more depressing. Absolutely no sign of any improvement in any part of the pitch, just exactly the same turgid bollocks. For the first home game under a new manager it’s a shocking statement by this bunch of dismal no hopers.

I blame moving the game from tomorrow. Could’ve had an extra day to prepare. 😉

[BotleySaint]

As they said on Radio Solent just now. Team is just the same as it was before under Ralph.

I guess all that shouting that Jones did hasn't sunk in yet.

[Suhari]

Some movement on our bench.

[trousers]

Walcott & Edozie coming on

[Mr X]

Wtf is Theo doing anywhere near a football pitch?

That’s why they play for us, a lot of them are turd.

I’m starting to think that seeing us  hanging balls up to Chris Wood is a legitimate thing I’d like to see.

Would be good to see a bit of that on the pitch.

OK... it's a game of three thirds???  Please????!

Shows the standard of our attacking options.

[trousers]

Lincoln should have had a penalty there. Blatant handball by Perraud?

Yes, thankfully no VAR.

[Archers Road Stand]

I hope that is the last time we see Adam Armstrong in a Saints shirt. Another pathetic showing from him. 

[Mr X]

What's worrying is Lincoln look like they want it more

No chance, its headed onto his hand from directly behind him - Well refereed actually.

Stu Armstrong on too

[Suhari]

Going to a back 4.

It's like watching a replay from the first half of the season. What's changed?

Picked up just where we left off if anything we are worse

AMN at right back is about the best place for him that isn’t on the bench.

great cross from Theo.

Lots of loss cutting going to happen this summer. Maybe with the energy crises,the price of deadwood might be high.

Probably not a less than anyone else who's been on it first half to be fair. 

[Suhari]

Much better now.

[trousers]

S.Armstrong and Edozie injecting more positivity into our approach play.

[hasper57saint]

The legacy of Ralph continues. 

[obelisk]

Please tell me this isn't going to penalties.

[Saint86]

Find myself wondering if the 5 at the back is a sports republic decision - start of the season it was a noticeable change that Ralph was wrestling with and didn't like. Now Jones is introduced and straight away is 5 at the back. Notable that we've abandoned the formation and immediately improved.

Saints fans are embarrassing. Silent yet again. 

[Crab Lungs]

Can’t wait for Edozies positive running to be beaten out of him.

I’ll give it 2-3 months and he’ll be crop circling and passing backwards.

[Convict Colony]

AMN is lucky l'equipe arent rating this game.
