Brentford 3-0 Saints - Match Thread

[Chez]

fuck me.

Controlling the football and passing the ball to a teammate looks beyond us.

[OttawaSaint]

We're moving the ball around nicely and making chances but spastic Jones has hamstrung us with his selections. Moi? Fuck off!

[Bad Wolf]

Moi is a good guy, no shortage of effort at all but he isn't very good. Dialo is just ridiculous.

[Saint Matty 76]

Diallo cannot pass a fucking ball

[Saint86]

Diallo WTF!!!

[Wade Garrett]

Diallo and Ely are shit.  Jones must be blind.

[Saint Fan CaM]

How many more times does Diallo have to give the ball to the opponent?

[Saint-Reece]

Moi and Diallo are fucking frauds 

[Saint86]

Diallo again... how many times is that now. No excuse.

[Chez]

My word Diallo has been utter dross so far. 

Brentford don't look all that, but we can't even do the basics. Terrible. 

[Saint NL]

Noticeable that JWP is pushed well up.

He's often the furthest player up.

[RedArmy]

Not really sure how bad Diallo needs to be before he gets dropped. 
 

[Saint Fan CaM]

We’re seeing a fair bit of the ball - must be a Brentford goal coming.

[Saint86]

He's often the furthest player up.

And with our passing he's rarely involved. Needs to be more central and actually completing some passes for the team.

[OttawaSaint]

Let's face it, even if we do score Dean will be scrambling to get it ruled out.

[OttawaSaint]

Adams is too deep. There's noone up front. 

[Chez]

what the fuck is Perraud doing there? 

[Mr X]

Don't worry we will get the new manager bounce like Everton soon 👍

[hypochondriac]

Get the new guys on. Even with no training they can't be worse than this lot.

Is Noone a new signing?

Wasn't he in Hermans Hermits?

[obelisk]

Saints defending is really quite comical. Always look likely to concede.

[trousers]

I can envisage Jones' post-match press conference now... "You see, I told you it wasn't playing 5 at the back that made us ineffective..."

Good old Nige looking in total control on the touch line.

[Saint NL]

The Brentford fans are a bit of a let down, they seem to be irate at the slightest thing. A tiny bit of success and they think they should have every decision 🤢

[Saint86]

Watching us line up with a back line including Bree, Perraud, and "Janny B"... and remembering Nathan Jones' adamant statement that he always leaves squads stronger than when he arrived

He hasn't left yet.....

 

[OttawaSaint]

Good move but I just don't fancy Edozie to score.

[Saint NL]

Good run and shot.

It's something at least

[AlexLaw76]

Decent play by Bree and Edozie

just a bit nothing up top though

He was. He must be pushing 80 but maybe he could do a job for us.

[Saint NL]

I can't remember the last time someone other than JWP took a corner (when he's been on the pitch)

Yeah we'll have the strongest squad in League 2...

Djenpo did last week for starters. Its a new "feature" under Jones.

About 2 minutes ago, Perraud!

It's happened in previous games recently

I don't share your confidence.... 😆

[OttawaSaint]

Our passing is crisp and accurate, now if we could just tweak it to pass to our players instead of theirs...

[Wade Garrett]

Get Ely off.  He is fucking incompetent.

[Mr X]

Elyonoussi is worse than redmond there I've said it 

[Saint NL]

Yeah, that's what triggered me to ask 😂

[Saint Fan CaM]

Another absolute shambles from Ely-no-use-y

[stknowle]

Elyonoussi utter shit.

[Saint86]

Our best attackers are a central midfielder and a kid with no end product... Impressive really.

Oh it's not even close. Ely is a disgrace, Redmond was frustrating but offered something.

And yet the taffy leek sniffer looks on and thinks "yep, that's my guy".

[EssEffCee]

Settled well after a shaky start. Just utterly toothless as we all have become used to.
