Things are so bad I'm missing Redmond...

So bad that I'm missing Guido Carrillo!

Still, cracking light show.

He would walk into this team at the moment. 

[Dman]

Well…. I for 1 am happy the light show went well!

We need micro bubbles.

I think my Samsung washing machine does those

Looks like it's 8 vs 14 out there. It's weird, there doesn't seem to be any support for a player on the ball.

Ha! Snap!

[Saint Fan CaM]

FFS change something you complete waste of a bench seat!

 

[Mr X]

Jones looks scared like a rabbit in the headlights

Almost like three of our team are playing at the back...

And still be faster than Elyanoussi...

I guarantee you under Ralph we'd be playing better than this showing so far.

But that's history so I'll let the fans that wanted him gone own the moment.

 I think we probably would be better off but that doesn't mean keeping hold of him was the right move, unfortunately we needed to make the right appointment, and genuinely believe we couldn't of got this any more wrong

I have seen nothing AT ALL that would of inspired them to make this call... nothing

[Sevvy]

I would walk into this team and I'm  63

[petermcpete]

Hoping my Everton tickets are behind one of the many pillars there. This is fucking horrible.

[BotleySaint]

We look a bit brighter but total lack of quality still shows. No end product.

He got an assist. This lot look like they can't even score in training.

[Lighthouse]

My stream has died, praise God almighty!

 

 

 

 

 

*A different god to whichever tree Jones is barking up, obviously.

Actually it’s darkest in a subterranean fissure at the bottom of the Marianna Trench, which is engulfed in suspended silt particles, has never seen sunlight and is inhabited only by primitive, plankton-based life forms.

Probably a more apt metaphor.

And we're looking up to that glittering, bright point as an aspiration from how we're playing now. 🙂

Is he doing his Liz Truss impression again?

[croydonsaint]

I agree that with Hassenhuttl we would have had a few more points than with Jones but something was  clearly not  right  and liked him as I did his time had come …. I am now totally certain we have made a massive error with this appointment though as certain as I was lyanca should not have played today. It’s not his fault but he is demonstrably out of his depth Looking at him on the touch line is slightly embarrassing He should be put out of his misery   The next week or so will be very informing all be it what ever we do now I can not see us staying up this season 

[Saint Matty 76]

We just NEVER have options in attacking areas, it's disgraceful

Every week Stu and Edozie come on and it looks a little better in that regard and they're both sat on the bench

[imadirtyurchin]

Have we had a shot on target yet?

[Crab Lungs]

This is vile. Hopeful crosses to no one and zero structure. The footballing epitome of hell.

[OttawaSaint]

We've got 11 plankton based lifeforms on the pitch!

[Saint NL]

Oh good, another Lyanco long throw

This.

That last 'attack' just fizzled out. As usual.

[Dman]

433 / 4231 ASAP please. 
 

Armstrong(s) and Edozie on 

[The Kraken]

BRILLIANT new tactic.take Salisu off ‘long’ throws and give them to Lyanco instead.

[Saint Fan CaM]

We play so stretched that there’s hardly any options to make a telling pass.

[OttawaSaint]

JWP is great at those 25 yard free kicks, especially just left of center but all his other dead ball stuff is utter toilet.

[Mr X]

KWP the only one who's even looked like trying to beat their man tonight 

[Convict Colony]

Moi and JWP are just too slow in midfield 

[Saint_clark]

Lyanco off for A. Armstrong and Mara off for S. Armstrong please.

[Archers Road Stand]

60 mins gone and still 5 at the back in a must win game. 

Jones out. 

[gallaghert366@yahoo.com]

The Saints have been hovering around the relegation zone for the last two seasons.                                                                              No one has addressed the reasons for this scenario which appeared obvious to most.

There's none so blind as those who will not see!

The Championship is, sadly, inevitable but sliding into League One needs to be prevented.

 

[Saint NL]

The only way we're scoring is an OG or penalty isn't it?

[Sheaf Saint]

Forest are quite happy to just let us have possession on the edge of the box because they can have absolute confidence we won't do anything with it.

Nevermind, forgot Edozie, him on instead of A. Armstrong.

[DT]

Imagine how much less bad we would be with Romeu still. 

[GDog07]

We all laughed at Nottm Forest, everyone laughed at Nottm Forest at the start of the season.

They spent heavily, bought in guys with decent experience and kept faith in their manager. They’ve got fight, they’ve got cohesion, everything we haven’t, on the pitch and off the pitch, owners prepared to splash the cash on £35/£40m players to STAY in the EPL and they are well on their way to achieving their aim. I wish we were as ambitious to keep our EPL status.

And equally happy to concede a corner for the same reason 

[Convict Colony]

We need an own goal, come on OG.

[OttawaSaint]

I've played in teams where we had to learn each other's names in the carpark, had a 4 man midfield all called Dave, a guy half cut from the night before, our pacy winger smoking cigarettes at half time, our goalie frequently leaving his goal to threaten kids playing near his car....and we still had more cohesion and teamwork than this shower!

[SaintLondon]

You're losing 1-0 to the second shittest side in the league, it's clearly not working so you'd make changes, right? RIGHT?

[saintant]

3 at the back and picking Lyanco doesn't work. We don't need to be rocket scientists to know that. Jones must be some kind of nutcase.

Adam Armstrong is even worse than elyonoussi 

[SNSUN]

I've never been more happy to be ill than tonight. I nearly manned up and went...

[Saint Matty 76]

I'm not blaming the kid specifically because it is obviously not his fault but how the fuck did we spend £12m on Mara? 

[The Kraken]

An hour in, we’ve had zero shots on target, and we haven’t changed anything other than replacing a crocked CB like for like.

Fucking abject Jones.

[Saint Fan CaM]

Mara is even making a bad job of being a passenger. Shite.
