Plymouth 1-2 Saints - FT

[SNSUN]

Come on Saints, we're going to have to outscore them if we want to win this.

[OttawaSaint]

Bednarek should never have played for Saints again, then after that Bambi own goal he definitely should never have played. 

But he's still here, blind as a fucking bat.

[The Juice]

Manning is poor. Yes he slips there but too far in front of play and then no pace to recover... I have not seen anything in him in all the games i've watched to suggest he is any good. Perraud a better player, for me 

[LGTL]

Manning appears to be a mistake a game at present. 

[LGTL]

Seen nothing of Manning to suggest he’s better then Perraud at this level. 

[BotleySaint]

This could go either way if we can't steady the ship. 

[Mr X]

fuck me our style is so susceptible to conceding goals on the break!

[Suhari]

Where's Alcarez today?

[Saint NL]

Least the game livened up a bit, this is quite fun atm

[vectraman]

Manning needs to get some studs in his boots. Two slips now, one leads to a goal, other could have done but he got away with it. Not impressed with him so far - certainly no better than Peroud…

[lambtiss]

How did Manning get in the championship team of the year?

[Disco Stu]

Right call. Looked like a sure pen in real time.

Manning is shite - rather see Perraud.

Do we actually have any players that are not "Shite?" I need to know.....I get very easily confused....

[ButtikonSaint]

Charles really lacking pace when tracking back ... worrying for a defensive midfielder... 

[Colinjb]

Thought that was going to be Bazunu's brain fart for the day. But, yeah, very much a dive.

[OttawaSaint]

Ooooh fuck. Yellow for diving.

[Saint NL]

Dive? 

Christ that looked like we might be in trouble there

[coalman]

Well judged by Baz there

Bednarek with the classic "don't follow his run, then wave your hands angryly"

Even if he was nearly 40, there’s no fucking way Fonte would have been worse than Janny B. 

[BotleySaint]

This one is tilting horribly toward a Plymouth win.. We need serious investment.

injured during mid-week training

[DT]

Same old Saints. Like a knife through butter on transition. Bednarek is hopeless. Edozie gash. 

[Saint Matty 76]

So unlucky Stu

[stknowle]

Great bit of play there. Very unlucky Stu

[Saint NL]

Good hit, off the bar

[OttawaSaint]

Off the bar from Stu!!! Argghhh!

[Suhari]

Stu: bar.

Good move.

[Southner]

Good hit from Stu, unlucky, off the bar.

[SNSUN]

Cross bar. Not our day?

[coalman]

Woof

[Miltonaggro]

That pull down and shot deserved a goal for stu armstrong. 

[Southner]

One more goal each, and it'll be level. 

[FarehamSaintJames]

Shea Charles looks knackered/too casual.

No real creativity or drive in midfield. Stu Armstrong has been decent but don’t know what formation we’re playing, so the midfield looks non-existent.

From what I have seen so far take the money for Tella.

Plymouth have had about six occasions where they have been 4 on four with our back line.

Big gaping hole in the middle of the park.

With all those supposed attacking players on the pitch we have offered very little going forward.

Always good to base a decision on 45 minutes of football instead of the evidence and statistics of last season 👍 

[captainchris]

You don’t have to be Pep Guardiola to see that we lose possession and we have absolutely nothing in midfield at all to stop the break on our goal. Is Martin even watching our games…

Why, why are we like this? 

Bednarek ball watching. Fuck off!

? It was Stephens dangled leg but ok

What do you expect? Who else are you putting in midfield today?

Our solution to that problem is currently sat on the toilet.

Same thing, both are fucking garbage.

Agree

But he’s KWPs man here, we don’t do a good enough job defending the cross of course but thats pathetic from both KWP and Stephens

LOL @ Adams trying to claim that.

[Saint NL]

Yeah, that one's not going to count 🤣

I just said it’s not personnel, it’s tactics and organisation son. 

[samcrocker]

Defensively we’re poor, but we’ve only added Captain Mannering at left back so you can’t expect a lot.
 

The weakness in midfield is more worrying, little creativity without Alcaraz, and no bite. Downes should help, but will need more…

Tall Paul?

[ButtikonSaint]

AA not too bad in that deep lying forward position... his speed is certainly an asset ...

No, he's just toilet.

Exactly, drives me f****** mad watching him after every goal, as if he hasn’t realised it is actually his job to stop his man scoring in his goal!! 
Surely it must drive our managers potty too!! 

[FarehamSaintJames]

All the players look absolutely knackered.

[Saint NL]

Nice break, should be doing better though
