Gillingham 3-1 Saints - Match Thread

[Southner]

MARTIN OUT LOLS AND ROFL 

[Saint NL]

Great start lads 🤦

[SNSUN]

Well, we've let them get their consolation early, bring on the next 5 for Saints.

[James]

Some of these lads are nowhere near good enough. Bree and Lyanco in particular.

[skintsaint]

[Lighthouse]

We scored early in the 1-6 against Liverpool under Koeman. All part of the game plan.

Having no cameras is weird, so no highlights then either?

There are cameras and highligts - Merson is watching on Sky Sports News and its showing the chances and goals as they go in.. which makes it odd that somoene hasn't found a stream somewhere!

Well at least one of the comments above implies someone is watching it live.

SAA sounding like our best player.

McCarthy ‘in goal’

[Smirking_Saint]

You sure? Has to Bree or Perraud with Lyanco surely.

Neither is McCarthy and we've been stuck with him for 8 years. If you're not good enough it means you stay because nobody else wants you.

Portsmouth are losing to a league 2 team 😂😂😂

 

how are we getting on?

Its no surprise. He's fucking fantastic. Superstar in the making. 

Imo has to be starting ahead of Edozie.

[SNSUN]

How long since McCarthy made a save?

 

😏

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Saints under set piece pressure from Gillingham, who look to double their lead. Ugh. We have to get better surely.

Does Rob Earnshaw getting the Sky gig meet some sort of Welsh quota. Hopeless pundit

Bree is having a mare.

He was alright. Had the beating of his man, which isn't hard when he's about 15 years younger. Limited to no end product and very predictable - will be significantly less effective against a better side.

Tella on the left, SAA on the right, for me 👍

You can't say that around here, team of the league player last season or something!!!

[Sunglasses Ron]

Can’t believe we’re losing to a team from Dorset, this won’t do!

To be fair, Luton didn't really play football, we do (now). Easy for someone like Bree to look half decent winning it and pinging it forward. Much harder when he's expected to play football.

Talksport 2 commentary:

Remember Alan Brazil will be back tomorrow morning 6am with Gabby Agbonlahor.

Yeah i’ll give that one a miss thanks

He wasn't excellent. He has minimal end product and no strength. He's excellent at beating a few men and getting towards the danger area. But what comes from it is far from excellent atm. Lots of potential though.

They looked shit in their local derby with Shaftesbury as well.

Just seen our subs bench... 😄

This Samuel Annoy-Wannom-Moore seems to be being mentioned quite a lot on the radio.

Yeah can't disagree with that but it was clear to anyone that had seen him play that he was as vanilla and as middle of the pack as they come.

[SotonianWill]

Sounds like Sammy amo doing well tonight

So Portsmouth are losing. Sorry, how does that interest us?

Always makes me laugh when they lose

[gio1saints]

Yes he is our most dangerous player but it’s only Stu that’s actually making his class show for us. To a certain extent. Some really nervy performances here at present.

They are not, they are drawing.

If I was Martin, I'd be throwing my arms about at half time

not they're not. 1-1

[BotleySaint]

Lull them into a false sense of security and unleash Diblard on them second half? 

[manji]

It’s obvious Martin is using this as a practice game. Clearly he will want to win but if we’d fielded a stronger team he wouldn’t have learnt much

Agreed. Very frustrating lack of awareness. Thought he was out weak link. Better options in the squad
