Well at least it's not going to be another 9-0.

It’s a sad state of affairs when that’s our minimum hope for any game isn’t it!

[Saint_clark]

How many late fouls is this ref gonna let them get away with??????

[The Juice]

papering over cracks - defender should have dealt easy 

Conceded 14 goals in five games plus 25 mins

Nuns are out. Sexy sailors are the good luck charm of 23/24

[bobby_charles]

anyone notice all our best plays are from long balls? 

[Jack]

Bazunu is going to cost us so many goals. Brainless passing out from the back when it’s not on 

[obelisk]

Opposing teams have already worked out how to play Saints. High press & just wait for the mistake in defence.

Tell me about it.....

[Saint NL]

Dean Hammond saying that the manager won't change so we will have to get used to this.... 😳

There will be more (today). This manager scares the shit out of me.

If it doesn't start working he'll be sacked before we get used to it.

If so he won't be at SMS at Christmas.

If he doesn't and it doesn't improve he'll get sacked.

[SNSUN]

Dodgy challenge, Smallbone yellow. I like him but he has lost his way since the opening day a bit.

[Saint NL]

Smallbone has gone to shit since he signed that contract

[RedArmy]

Good save.

Even if we're bottom half at January? Even if we're in the relegation zone? 

[SNSUN]

Good save Baz

Bit unfair I think. His distribution has been excellent  

[stknowle]

Decent save Baz

[obelisk]

Good save Bazunu. Crap defence in front of him.

[Suhari]

Good save Baz.

[Saint NL]

Decent save bazunu

[AlexLaw76]

We have zero presence in midfield. They are able to have our midfield facing our goal with far too much ease. 

Keep finding ourselves 4v4 defensively

First cynical foul for saints and a yellow given, after 4 similar fouls by Leicester.

[sydney_saint]

Good save 

[sfc4prem]

What do you reckon about Smallbone? Can't make up my mind on him. Does he offer enough grit or creativity? Is he essentially a water carrier, popping the ball around? He's not exactly a metronome tempo setter either?

Haven't we been saying this since the start? Madness.

[Saint NL]

They knock it passed Manning like he's not there. 

[harvey]

I'm sorry, but Smallbone is a bang average footballer.

He looked good alongside JWP, but now he's essentially being asked to be the main man in midfield and isn't stepping up.

[SNSUN]

Leicester having a good spell. Need to hold firm for half time 

[Harry_SFC]

Smallbone worst player on the pitch by some distance here 

[CB Fry]

Still winning the possession war, lads. 56%.

One of our better players then.

Agreed.

I just don't see what he brings to us.

[Saint NL]

Ref not giving us much so far

[SNSUN]

AA is working his butt off.

He's no Romeu, yet.

[obelisk]

AA is our best defender so far.

[saintant]

Powderpuff in midfield.

[Galway saint]

on a positive note there’s been less aimless passing around at the back 

[Saint_clark]

Armstrong wasted in CM, need to have him where Fraser is.

[SNSUN]

Booking for them at last

[Saint NL]

Ref found his cards then

[AlexLaw76]

on a positive note. Edozie has been pretty good..much more effective with the ball

[saintant]

Should be level there - HB misses his header.

[Saint NL]

THB should have scored that.

Improvement at least
