Holgate is just a terrible defender - not a clue. Just before half-time and he gives away a stupid FC on goal.

Then Bazunu makes a complete hash of a simple save.

Shambles.

It wasn't a free kick 

[LGTL]

KWP is the only positive from this dire half. 

[sydney_saint]

Hehehe great shithousing from Armstrong

[Saint NL]

Disagree. Almost straight at him and he pushes it back into the danger area

Tbf, my expectations are pretty low so he stopped the initial shot going in which seems like a win

[adrian lord]

Pull  goal back before halftime and the complexion of the game will be very different

[The Juice]

Realistically, this could be 3 or 4-0.

We weren't great last week or at plymouth despite positive result... needs sorting out asap.

Decent save bazunu

Stopping that shot from going in is the very lest a competent keeper would do.

A half decent one wouldn't have palmed it right back into the danger area.

[Edmonton Saint]

Don Goodman can shut the fuck up as well. 

[Maggie May]

We need to get out of this league ASAP to save us from Don Goodman.

[LGTL]

Nearly concede again from our own corner

Ref is having a shocker, supposed Premier League ref.

He is good mates with Clattenburg say no more. 

[obelisk]

Saints corners looking dangerous - for us.

[Lone ranger]

JWP. Our good player

[whelk]

Fuccking hell Holgate you cunt

[adrian lord]

Ffs

 

Holgate has had a shocker

[bpsaint]

Game over, embarrassing.

[Saint Matty 76]

Bazunu really is fucking shit

Holgate too

[saintant]

I give up.

[SotonianWill]

Gavin Bazunu fuck off

[LGTL]

Holgate can never play again thanks

[stknowle]

Sorry but this is fucking appalling. 

[tdmickey3]

Shambles

Poor team selection 

Bazunu pathetic, St Clark is right 

Mara waste of time  

SA just runs in to people 

Adams and Charles should have started

[Saint Scott]

Holgate useless. Bazunu will cost us promotion, terrible

[sydney_saint]

It's nuts that no one came in for KWP. He's so far above this level. I actually think Stuart Armstrong has been alright this half. The rest. Not so much

[Lee On Solent Saint]

Oh just fuck off Bazuna

[OttawaSaint]

Holgate you cunt!

[trousers]

FFS

[bpsaint]

Holgate, honestly what the fuck

[Lord Duckhunter]

Keeper again 

[LGTL]

And as for Bazunu fuck me

[James]

Anyone going to defend Baz there? Fucking useless. Holgate is also terrible. 

[benjii]

Bazunu is fucking shite.

Also, why don't we have a deep lying midfielder?

[whelk]

Absolute shambolic useless fuckers

[obelisk]

Another long distance shot goes through the 'keeper. Just after Holgate gives it away.

[Saint NL]

Christ.

All over. Absolute shambles.

 

Holgate makes Janny b look competent 

[Mr X]

Game over pathetic 

[Thereisonlyonemickychannon]

Embarrassing!!!!!

[sydney_saint]

Drop. Him. Now

[Master Bates]

Oh

[Saint_clark]

Strong hands from Bazunu there.

[Micky]

Given away by Holgate, goal....! We're going to hear that a lot this season.  Crap. 

[Bakovnetski]

Fuck Bazunu, you are truly shit

[John Boy Saint]

Stripy glasses off - great goal 

not convinced with Holgate on his first 45 minutes

[Colinjb]

So, big half time for Martin.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Sunderland knew exactly how to exploit Martin's tactic. In addition, we made it very easy for them. So, I don;t know if the midfield balance was always off, or it's because we've had to react. I think the former.

But Chalres with Downes and 1 more attacking option would be the better balance. Stu too direct and runs with the ball. So far, Smallbone did well working with JWP, wo created lots of space for him to exploit. This set up doesn;t allow that.

Also, we've got a disjointed front three for them to pass to. Mara hasn;t offered any link ups, Edozie's end product iffy anyway, and AA not getting much joy (and not in his best poisiton anyway).

And another one goes in, just as I was typing that as usual opponents are stronger than us.

[bpsaint]

Penny for Martins thoughts on Bazunu now. Clueless not to bring a keeper in.

[Saint Matty 76]

I literally pointed out that Holgate was the worst distributor in the entire league last year, how the fuck did anyone in the club think he was a fit? The guy is absolutely dog shit

As for Bazunu… can’t be fucked any more

[James]

We won't be going up with Bazunu. The guy is utter shit. The fact our manager can't see it is a serious concern. 

[adrian lord]

Holgate should come off at half time he’s been absolutely appalling

 

Bazunu: I’ve never criticised him, but this is the final straw. 

[aintforever]

Fuck off bazunu
