[Saint NL]

This is one of those games where Perraud will score

From a freekick probably with JWP not playing.

[Saint Matty 76]

Not remotely convincing from Mara through on goal, again...

[Saint NL]

🤣

Mara looking sharp... 

[CB Fry]

Fractionally offside.

[obelisk]

Just stick it in the net even if it is offside.

[DT]

Truly terrible attempt by Mara. Think I could have scored that. 

[Saint_clark]

Bazunu concedes that.

Bazunu concedes that.

[Saint NL]

Players on both teams have a bet on "over 20 throw ins".

[HnycS]

McCarthy's kicking well up to par...

[Saint_clark]

Piss poor from Armstrong. Have to say I'm not a fan of sending the message that the players who failed at the weekend get a rest and will be back in the side come next Saturday. 

[Master Bates]

WE HATE POMPEY BLUE,
WE HATE POMPEY BLUUUUUUUEEEE,
OH FUCK OFF GRIMSBY,
WE HATE POMPEY BLUE

[Saint NL]

KWP and Mara are playing the same position.

Formation is weird going forward. Djenepo is playing between the centre forwards, Orsic is dropping back into midfield...

[DT]

Games like this offer the opportunity to show that, whatever the opposition, Adam Armstrong always looks ABSOLUTE TRASH

[Saint_clark]

Wtf are djenepo and Orsic doing? They're basically holding hands in between the forwards now with nobody on the wings.

[CB Fry]

Being pinned back by Grimsby Town. Great.

Yet we still continue to persevere with him we want our 15 millions worth 😂

[Saint NL]

Offside.

Shame, good finish

[Sheaf Saint]

We done a goal.

But Djenepo was offside.

[OttawaSaint]

Sounds like an absolute fucking shambles vs Grimsby...great!

[obelisk]

Nice finish from Mara. Oh well.

Yep, I like Mara, looked really good when he came on V Leeds. 

[Suhari]

Like how we're looking for little through balls.

 

[Saint NL]

I like the look of that Grimsby number 2, Efete I think his name is.

[ChrisPY]

Think the way Grimsby are playing shows where we’re at. Not bothering to park the bus and quite happy for an open game.

[Saint_clark]

Orsic looks like he hasn't got a clue what he's supposed to be doing, coming short or running through, what position to take up etc.

We’re doing fine, there’s nothing to get upset about yet.

[Archers Road Stand]

The passing is so bad.

Apart from Adam Armstrongs continuing charade of impersonating a premier league footballer

Not sure it's the accuracy of th passing but the lack of options for half the pitch. Our wingers/AMs are lining up right up top and it's basically a front 4. It's weird.

Yep. Mara and Djenepo are both taking up similar positions. Very odd. 

[Archers Road Stand]

Good play until it got to Alcaraz. 

[Saint_clark]

Wtf was that diving header!?

Just shoot!!!

Strange game so far. Looks like we pick them apart the second we do anything with any quality.

Which is a little rare with the quality of the attackers on the pitch currently.

[Lighthouse]

Orsic and Orsi being on the pitch is mildly irritating.

[Mattio]

Fucking hell Armstrong really is dogshite, we just look crap like maybe we're 1 league above them not about 70 places.

[tdmickey3]

Too slow,such a lack of urgency

The story of every game

[hackedoff]

Just a decent striker away from edging this.

What gives you that idea? We're comfortably in control as we should be against a L2 side.

[Tommy]

Sure am glad we decided not to pay for tickets to this garbage

[Suhari]

Lavia really is class.

Just any forward making intelligent runs would help.

[Mr X]

Armstrong why haven't we just cut our losses on him never going to be good 

[beatlesaint]

This isn’t great by any stretch is it?

Feels like we've been edging since Spurs away last year and all the players now have blue balls...

A decent striker away from edging a game against a Div 4 team… say’s it all

[Archers Road Stand]

The formation is shit.
