Leeds 1-0 Saints - Match Thread

[Edmonton Saint]

Get Armstrong off. Hopeless 

[Saint_clark]

Hope Armstrong is coming off, fucking awful.

[Archers Road Stand]

Stu has been awful. 

[Convict Colony]

Someone tell armstong to get off the pitch he's been terrible today bro

[Suhari]

I'd like to see Mara up front with Tall Paul, and Sully wide.

Be a shame if it's Onuachu, got far worse players today.

Shows how threadbare our squad is if this is the case.

[Mr X]

FFS stu

[CB Fry]

We are never, ever, ever going to score.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

fair enough booking for Stu there. Gnonto limping around. Hopefully, he'll make a full recovery, just after the final whistle.

[northam soul]

All that money spent on POTENCY and we still can’t manufacture a decent chance.

JWP free kicks will not keep us up.

[adrian lord]

Sounds like it’s one of those games…

[Saint_clark]

Haven't got a problem with Walcott coming on, he put in a very good cross V Chelsea and works well defensively with his experience which Armstrong has been poor at today.

Might somehow get high enough up the pitch for a JWP free kick?

[Brissysaint]

Fuck me dialo, what is he possibly going to add.

[Archers Road Stand]

FFS Diallo coming on 

[Convict Colony]

MAra diallo and walcott coming on 

[Saint NL]

Happy to see Gnonto go off, he's been decent 

[Lee On Solent Saint]

First goal wins this, no question.

[Saint_clark]

Diallo coming on as well, still no Alcaraz. Scored a goal and then frozen out. 

[Archers Road Stand]

How is that not a foul on tall Paul

[Saint_clark]

Has to be Diallo for Moi, Walcott for Armstrong and Mara for Sulemana surely.

[LeBizzier69]

Can anyone tell me why KWP isn’t starting? Can’t be a fitness issue?

[Bad Wolf]

In fairness Walcott was very good when he came on last week. One of his better games since returning.

[Saint NL]

Diallo and Walcott is no different from having an ineffective Armstrong and Elyounoussi on

[Ed Rooney]

At least we don’t play long ball now Jones has gone 

[Archers Road Stand]

Sulemana has to do a lot better to justify the club record fee we paid. 

[Edmonton Saint]

Selles has gone all Nathan Jones with these subs. Jesus.

Its all about mindset - next goal wins 

[Saint Matty 76]

Sulemana and Onuachu off at the 60th minute. It really is bizarre to me.

[SaintStinger]

It's like we're playing a top 6 team here, not a relegation rival. Worrying. Let's see what these subs can do.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Triple threat substitutions!

[obelisk]

Stream playing as badly as Saints.

[Saint_clark]

At least Lavia stayed on.

Both were abysmal tbf. 

[Saint_clark]

How is that not a booking for Adams???

[Saint NL]

How did Elyounoussi stay on?

[Saint Matty 76]

Villa 1-0!

Big goal. Come on Saints.

[OttawaSaint]

JWP playing further forward now. Moi survives somehow.

[Saint_clark]

Diallo immediately gives the ball away.

[LeBizzier69]

Great, we now have Moi and Diallo on so we’re doubling up on our giving the ball away cheaply strategy.

Don't think Onuachu was abysmal by any stretch. 

Our substitutions make us drastically worse going forward every week, I feel.

They've not really linked up, and Onuachu not worked as a target. Diallo on so we stop getting overun in midfield. Walcott on asa  Stu replacement and a different, more mobile threat with Mara.

[Scoobysaint]

Time to bring on KWP for AMN now that Gnonto has gone off. No need to be so defensive on that side. 

[Mr X]

Diallo already diallo 

[Ed Rooney]

What hold has Ely got over saints 

[OttawaSaint]

Game is getting stretched.

[Saint_clark]

Why the fuck was Bella kotchap trying to dribble past players in the left wing position there? Suicidal.

I just don't see how a Elyounoussi - Mara - Walcott front three scores a goal in the Premier League, but I'd love to be proved wrong.
