Saints 2-1 QPR - Match Thread

[Saint NL]

It's good to watch Fraser's movement, he's always looking to get in behind.

Edozie can learn a lot from him

[Baird of the land]

Think if you are going to play Mara he has to play CF. Today doing ok as a focal point. Anytime i've seen him elsewhere he looks lost

[OttawaSaint]

Need a 3rd before the inevitable happens...

[Bad Wolf]

Can we sign this Armstrong too to complete our collection?

[saintant]

Manning getting a lot of stick but he's got two assists according to BBC.

We knew when we signed him - good going forward, suspect defensively. I think he's a good choice for playing games when we are on the front foot but when we have to defend more I think Perraud may be the better option.

[Suhari]

AArma and Fraser have created a tidy partnership already.

[Saint Fan CaM]

Arma seems to have found his level. Our left side is looking pretty strong. Right side not so as Edozie looks knackered.

Like a pack of Jack Russells tearing around and snapping at peoples heels.

RF quickly silencing some of the doubters especially considering how little game time he's had in ages. Will only get stronger and better.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Manning better when he has that bit of extra support. Smith running him for pace, and Armstrong for strength. But has had some moments. Not a settled back line today either, with the changes.

[Saint Fan CaM]

I’ve got to say Downes is a better midfielder than JWP, but without the freekicks.

[Saint NL]

Have saints just given up with the right side? Even KWP has moved over, it's just Edozie on his own with none of the ball

[LGTL]

Fraser is a bit of quality at this level, that’s been clear. 

Downes looks excellent.

They're bringing Sideshow Bob on.

[Saint NL]

That's some Barnet on the guy coming on 🤣

[Disco Stu]

I hate it when the crowd "oles". Gets into the players heads.

I'm not sure it's legal.

[Saint Fan CaM]

Ah, we’ll be ok…Aribo on.

[Saint NL]

Edozie off and Aribo on

It's ok if you are 3 or 4 goals up but not when it's a close game.

[Mr X]

God aribo that's risky 

[bpsaint]

State of this pricks hair, looks like that angry kid cartoon.

He's been great coming on and helping us see out games, in my opinion.

[Saint NL]

Fraser is tiny and just outjumped their defender to win a header 🤣

[OttawaSaint]

That Wolves fella who got injured vs us last season just won it for them at Goodison.

[saintant]

Leicester back in front.

[Killers Knee]

Ridiculous „look at me“ hair

Short memory then. Guess you only started watching again when we got promoted.

Wrong 

[OttawaSaint]

Phew though Baz was going to fuck that up...

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Nice movemmetn from Aribo there. Our new closeing down the game sub?

[Saint NL]

Oh Fraser, I thought he'd won it

[OttawaSaint]

Ohhhhh...so close, great quickly taken free kick, not enough height on chip.

Can't do. He's shit. Apparently.

He did literally just miss a one on one

Normally AA missing those what's happened?

Must be Che's replacement then.

[Saint NL]

Stu Armstrong nearly had his shorts ripped off 🤣

Edited 26 August, 2023 by Saint NL

[Suhari]

Nice to see StArmstrong play a full game.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Very close for the third.

But it's daft that we are happy to keep possession. But then ovecommit, and allow a dangerous counter attack. If you're going to control the game, and close it down, make sure you're keeping enough back. Or at least know when an attack is going to be made to ensure that back up is there, to remove the risk.

AA man of the match. Well done.

[Saint NL]

Eurgh, 6 more mins.... Come on

True.

Our players never do that. 😂

Wonder what Che is up to right now?

Good save by the keeper...

[saintant]

How has RF done? Asking for a friend.

[OttawaSaint]

Booing at Goodison. 0 points, 0 goals...

[Saint Scott]

Fraser has looked very sharp given he's not played much competitive football.

Tell Ryan he's done great but can he work on his 1 on 1 finishing. 

[OttawaSaint]

Ohhhhh. Phew. That was a shade fortunate.
