Fulham 2-1 Saints - Match Thread

[obelisk]

These long balls might to Adams are just a pass to the opposition. Channel passes from higher up are what we need.

Birtles sounds suicidal about Fulham giving away that free kick.

Hopefully.

Edozie looking a little leggy. Wonder if Armstrgn will come on for him.

What sort of kit is that ?? 

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Aribo off. A bit off a shock. I thought Nathan might have forgotten he was on there. 🙂

[Saint NL]

Now Aribo is off, I've made a list of all the things he did well in this game:

 

 

 

.

[Saint Matty 76]

Not starting Armstrong is more baffling every time he comes on.

No.

Good decision NJ. Aribo has been wank.

Got to say, he can spot an underperformer pretty well. Seems to have made the right subs every time.

Just because he scored this freekick dosen't mean he hasn't been terrible all season

Expand  

Give him his due, he's been better today. At least he looks like he's trying to close players down, so that's already an improvement on his Brighton performance.

So we boo him, is that how it works?

he’s got the one bit of quality with his free kicks that might just get us out of this shit.

Until we buy a striker, would Ballard or Jimmy Jay be any worse?

Expand  

Absolutely not. Adam’s has never been a ball winner in the air. He can hold the ball up only if it’s played to feet.

a lucky one, hopefully.

Lyanco is as thick as fuck.

Utterly moronic there. 

[OttawaSaint]

Good move. SA shot blocked. 

[Saint NL]

Lyanco isn't the brightest, is he?

[obelisk]

Saints corners still no threat then.

This season's 3rd kit...

Play. 

Stuart. 

Armstrong.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Mo taking a decoy booking, while Lyanco mugs their keeper.

No idea why Edozie has not started all our games this season.

Stu! Stu! Stu!

fine by me

Everyone moans about too many choir boys and a lack of dark arts.

[imadirtyurchin]

We look so much better with Stu on. Wants the ball. Keeping the ball and running hard. 
 

opposite of aribo basically

[Archers Road Stand]

Bazunu really isn't convincing. 

[Saint_clark]

Bazunu is the weakest piece of piss I've ever seen try to play football.

[OttawaSaint]

FFS Gazunu, WTF?!?

Luckily we didn't concede.

Armstrong.

Expand  

I can only assume there must be some sort of fitness issue with him that prevents him from playing 90 mins, and NJ (and Ralph before him) think it's best to play him from the bench rather than  from the start

[Disco Stu]

Bazunu needs dropping.

[Saint NL]

I get the feeling we will need to score three to win any game this season 😳

[Chez]

Bazunu gets away with it, again. I've posted that a few times this season.

Time and place. When there is zero threat and absolutely nothing to gain, it's just plain dumb

[OttawaSaint]

Edozie with cramp. Good on JWP to tell the ref to do one for asking him to step off the field.

[Saint Matty 76]

Perraud for Edozie isn't particularly inspiring.

[Archers Road Stand]

Back to 5 at the back I guess. 

[Chez]

Edozie should be made to walk off, however seeing JWP telling the ref how to ref is funny.

 

[obelisk]

Nice to see JWP having a go at the ref there. Need to see more of that from Saints.

I will say that JWP does seem to be a bit more in the refs ears since NJ has turned up

[Saint NL]

Physio could do with a little more cardio 👀

[OttawaSaint]

We need to win this. Close rivals Leeds are 0-0 at Newcastle, Everton 1-1 at City and Palace 2 up on Bournemouth.

Out of order from the ref to refuse to bring the physios on initially.

[Disco Stu]

Never seen a referee order an injured player to make their own way off the pitch before. Wouldn't do that to a more experienced player.

[Chez]

Disappointing to see Edozie come off. Real threat once again. Come on now Perraud my son. Lets get a winner.

Or at Old Trafford

JWP keeping the ref right.

Human Dynamo on for Edozie.
