Has Gordon switched sides?

He was destroying Lyanco so it's a weird move

 

Edit: apparently my stream is slightly behind 😂

Lyanco had figured him out after the first 20 minutes.

[Saint_clark]

Ref get your fucking cards out.

[Saint Billy]

Its still difficult to get excited.

[trousers]

Oh, go on then...

Needed to be playing this team for a while now.

[Viking Saint]

[Saint NL]

Che Adams would have missed that chance tbf 

Fantastic tackle by Lavia to start that

[CB Fry]

Dellhurst Park all over again.

Yep, that was a yellow all day long

[BotleySaint]

Djenepo deliberatly tripped up. No card. Useless ref. 

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Whew! Bednarek managed to keep it out of his own net.

[Saint_clark]

If Djenepo needs to come off then Adams should come on.

[Crab Lungs]

Why won’t we die 😬

The ref will do 55, easy.

[Saint_clark]

Great claim from McCarthy to end the half.

[Master Bates]

[Saint Matty 76]

Turning up against another quality team after losing against dross without a fight.

Funniest club.

He was going for the bicycle kick OG, it's the only one he's not got yet. 

[davefizzy14]

Lavia is just phenomenal 🙂

[St. Ciervo]

I am not falling for it this time. I will not get my hopes up...

I'm not laughing

[Saint86]

Was that a penalty on sulemana?

No. Not even close.

[Saint_clark]

If we manage to hang on then we will be 3 points off notts forest in 17th with them to play next, Leeds also 3 points ahead of us play City next.

Why did we fuck around with so many of our winnable games playing negative football? 

[Saint NL]

Well well well. Who expected that?

Selles to take off Armstrong and bring on another centre back would be my guess for half time.

 

[HarvSFC]

Been saying it for months, play the inconsistent, yet unpredictable attackers and they will create at least a couple of chances a match, rather than the three consistently shit and predictable attackers (Walcott, Elyounoussi and A. Armstrong). Shame it's taken so long to work out.

[Boris Karloff]

Let's see Selles take off Stu at HT and put another defender on. 

[obelisk]

This sort of performance from Saints just makes me even more annoyed that they don't turn up against teams at Friendly To Opponents St Mary's.

[OttawaSaint]

So 3pts here. Everton and Leicester draw, we roll over Forest and get into top form for Fulham. 

Easy peasy! 

We should have tried this goal scoring thing a while back!

Don’t do it to yourself my friend. Not at least for another hour.

[The Cat]

Need to keep piling forward second half to improve our goal difference. 

Won't be happy with anything less than 4-0.

[FarehamSaintJames]

Just put Solent on at HT, wow 1-0?

Are we playing well?

I fully expect Newcastle to come back and win. And even if we did win it would be very Saintsy for us to go to Forest and lose. 😂

[Chris cooper]

Saints players who want out again putting themselves in the shop window.

Our biggest hindrance is Selles shitting himself again. The only sub I would accept him making now is Djenepo for Adams to give us someone to hold the ball up and relieve pressure.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

So far so good. At least strongly due to picking players capable of doing something furhter up the park, it wasn;t all one way traffic. Sure, Newcastle had opportuniites, with Lyanco being tested by Gordon, and leaving gaps, before getting some dominance. But when were weathering a bit of pressure, SellesBall of a central counterattck paid off. Today we had the players, and as a group, to make that attack pay off. They worked as a unit, rather than our counter being form a random clearance where someone has to hope for the best. Newcastle will undoubtedly get opportunities. So it's a test of Selles whether he tires to shut up shop with a lead as per normal unsuccessful SellesBall, or still adopt a more attacking outlook, so that Newcastl e will know to be wary of overcommitting.

[OttawaSaint]

Team comes out, for 2nd.

Where's Lavia? Where's Alcaraz?

See #24...oh no nooo...#27...noooooooo!
