Saints 1-2 Grimsby: Match Thread

[obelisk]

Why does it take going behind to start showing some urgency though?

Oh how I’d love for long to still be in the squad

He has one goal, a penalty, in 23 Championship appearances this season. No thanks, we clung to him for far too long.

[sandwichsaint]

We’re going to win this 3-2, Grimsby tiring and sitting too far back.

Bizarre thing to say

Clearly my support isn't as fickle as a four year old... But there's nothing to support in this team at the present. 

When we went down last time at least it was in the balance with fight (eg.  Norwich 4-3) - this season feels like a whimper.

Too soft, too toothless.

Djenepo and KWP are the only wants who can come away from this with any credit so far. 

[Mr X]

So why didn't we start JWP? 

[Mikey88]

At what point do we give one of the young lads a shot up top rather than continually turning to the players who have time and time again shown that they are not good enough. What have we got to lose?

[SNSUN]

Come on Saints. That clock is ticking quickly....

[OttawaSaint]

Did we accidently appoint Baldrick as our club tactician and have him come up with all our cunning plans?

We do seem to have a penchant for spending wads of cash on giant turnips...

I'd have brought Ballard on ahead Aribo.

I’d have brought bollards on ahead of Aribo.

Obviously resting him. Thought we'd utilise our EPL quality squad against  L2 opposition

[SNSUN]

Redmond loves playing against a lower league tea... oh.

[Sheaf Saint]

The ref finally decides to punish one of their fouls on one of our wingers.

[whelk]

Just goes to show the gap between lower League 2 and the Prem is closing

[skintsaint]

fucking hell the ref gave us a free kick in their half.

[Mltburger]

Has any club appointed 4 managers in a season?

😂😂😂

[SotonianWill]

brilliant keeper !

[Sheaf Saint]

Fucking hell Perraud!

[sandwichsaint]

My dad first took me to the Dell to see Ron Davies and Terry Paine, followed shortly by Mick Channon, imagine your dad taking you to watch this lot.

[BotleySaint]

Love Djenepo. He's shite but at least he tries 

[Archers Road Stand]

Perraud, another shite waste of money who should be nowhere near the PL. 

[trousers]

Have any of our players ever got a header on target from a JWP corner / free-kick? Ever?

[skintsaint]

Foul on edge of box...but ignored and nearly countered.

Scored from one in this game didn't we? Admittedly not a header.

[Saint NL]

Even when Grimsby win the ball, they have 4 players forward ..... That's more than we do 😳

Yep.   Lavia was good of course too. Been very disappointed with Alcaraz tonight.

[Nemi]

Everyone slating Aribo, but he’s the only player trying to make himself an option in between the lines

No club has ever stayed up with 3. We could be the first to do so with 4.

[Saint NL]

Walcott!!!!

2-2, thanks fuck

[Mr X]

We aren't going to score are we

[whelk]

That’s off

[obelisk]

Excellent from Theo and JWP. Offside though.

[Saint NL]

Offside, FFS 

[Archers Road Stand]

Well in Theo. 

[Mr X]

Wahoo my comment did it 

[Sheaf Saint]

Gonna be disallowed isn't it.

[Dragon_man]

Offside

[Archers Road Stand]

Offside ffs 

[Suhari]

Theo!!!

[Saint Matty 76]

Unlucky from Walcott. His positioning and movement has been good since he's come on, was actually similar to Chelsea as well when he came on there. Unfortunately this is just more minutes wasted due to how fucking slow VAR is.

Yes, but specifically thinking of headers when JWP pumps a high ball in
