Someone remind me what Smallbone is actually good at? Apart from being from the academy.

Passing. Although only KWP is playing well so far today. 

[Baird of the land]

He's also got to track back and defend, he's leaving so much space.

Going to be an exhausting watch...

Or in midfield.

Or defending when they attack. 

[niceandfriendly]

Yellow card for Mara? What is this ref on?

where is our midfield today, seen 1 good thing from downes by rest meh 

Usually to be found legging it back towards our own goal after the ball has yet again gone past them.

[adrian lord]

Saints defensive players are constantly the wrong side of the attacker

[whelk]

Well done ref

[Bakovnetski]

Smallbone is invisible 

[Saint NL]

Ref did well there

[Saint Matty 76]

Terrible stuff this.

Need Che as a focal point. Mara not good enough. Neither CB capable of picking a pass, or defending.

[RedArmy]

Get Charles on ffs, they are walking through our pathetic midfield 

[stknowle]

Ref's a cunt

[whelk]

FFS Ref

[SotonianWill]

Can we sub off Holgate, Stuart Armstrong and Mara to get our good team on now please

[Lee On Solent Saint]

Ref is having a shocker, supposed Premier League ref.

[LGTL]

No wonder why this prick is demoted from the PL this weekend.

[Colinjb]

We look utterly naive. 

[obelisk]

Sunderland just strolling through Saints midfield. Dangerous free kick.

[Saint NL]

How can Clarke run through so many players, dangerous free kick to them

[OttawaSaint]

So ponderous. Then we pass out to them and they break at pace and cause problems for us.

Ref a Wearsider?

Deffo. 

[Toadhall Saint]

We’ll get fook all with this ref

[LeBizzier69]

Holgate should be nowhere near starting. Dire. 

[Saint Matty 76]

Bazunu that is fucking terrible

[Edmonton Saint]

This is awful.

[whelk]

Bazunu sigh

[LGTL]

So bad from Bazunu there, just fucking catch it

[Saint_clark]

Mara with zero effort in this game so far.

[BotleySaint]

Honestly, Clarke just runs and runs. Nobody getting a tackle in. No leaders at the back. Nobody going the extra mile. 

[West Stand]

Ref is crap!

[stknowle]

Fucks sake, Bazunu is just so iffy. 

[Saint NL]

Decent save bazunu

[SambaMaverick]

Keeper for fuck sake

[Lord Duckhunter]

Horrendous goalkeeping, he really is fucking pony 

[Saint_clark]

World class save, Bazunu.

[OttawaSaint]

Jesus, Baz saves it right back out to the attacker but luckily he was off balance.

[Mr X]

Can't see us getting anything out of this game so far

[obelisk]

Really need a goal back before half time. Not looking likely though.

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

[BotleySaint]

How long until Bazunu is dropped. How can no manager see the problem? 

[Saint Fan CaM]

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.

[bpsaint]

Good save shocking keeping though to punch it straight out.

Holgate and Mara both off at halftime please

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Baz: That looked like he had sight of that enough to parry it away. Instead, right back into danger. Hmmm.

 

[Yorkshire Saint]

Bazuna always pushes the ball in to play... its school boy stuff.

[lambtiss]

Half time reset. Mara, Holgate and one other off. 

Adams, Harwood Bellis and Fraser on

Mara, Smallbone, Manning?

Haha Armstrong just bought them a booking
