Stoke 0-1 Saints - Match Thread

[Saint Fan CaM]

2-1 written all over this 😉

[adrian lord]

We need to slow it down and kill the game right off

[saintant]

We can't keep the ball.

[Whitey Grandad]

We’re defending too deep.

[Chez]

Stoke keeper flaps. They all do it.

[OttawaSaint]

My God Mara is bad...

We won't keep a clean sheet, thats for sure.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

A couple of moments, but we've not had much out of Fraser/ Mara/ Aribo combo.

[Saint Matty 76]

Fraser, Aribo, Mara and Holgate as 4 of our 5 subs today.

Incredible

Willy off.

[Saint_clark]

Really annoyed that Fraser is getting game time ahead of Edozie.

Nope. Poor subs.

[Saint NL]

Time is moving rally slowly, Aribo slow

[saintant]

Holgate coming on.

[adrian lord]

Oh God, Holgate

[Colinjb]

More chance of a clean sheet from my 4 year old here.

[whelk]

Holgate OG?

[Disco Stu]

Oh Jesus here comes Holgate.

[Whitey Grandad]

Strollbone daydreaming there.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Mara really needed to hold onto that one. Smallbone didn;t have too many other options. But we need to get control of this.

FFS... UNFORCED ERROR AHOY!

[Chez]

Fuck sake Fraser...fuck sake Mara. 

[OttawaSaint]

Holgate? To see out the match. Jesus wept...

[Ken Tone]

Is Martin trying to lose this game?

[Saint NL]

Martins got a fiver on a score draw, Holgate here we go 🤦

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Holgate on to add strength and reliability to our defence.

Probably more chance from @Wiggles31's 3-day old as well.

annoyed we took Sulemena off. No need. Looked full of running still.

[SNSUN]

Come on Saints...

[adrian lord]

Baz comes out and takes it in a commanding fashion for probably the first time in his Saints career

[Colinjb]

Well. Held. Baz.

[SNSUN]

Baz save. They're up for this now.

This. No need to rest him for Rotherham when we needed to push on here

[OttawaSaint]

Maybe he mistook Holgate for Colgate and clean sheet for clean teeth?

[saintant]

Sheer fear and panic from us all over the pitch now.

[Saint NL]

Good save Bazunu 

 

Squeaky bum time 

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Baz makes another save!

[Saint Matty 76]

Great work from Aribo and Mara there, credit where it’s due!

[saintant]

Making the big black lad look like Pele 🙂

[woodsaint1]

Been some bad halves this season and this is up there. We've just retreated to our 18 yard box fs

[Saint Fan CaM]

Jeez on the ropes at Stoke and still 4 minutes left

[SNSUN]

2 mins...

[whelk]

This has got 0-1 written all over it

He's a very good striker to be fair.

[farawaysaint]

What is this 9 minute extra time hell I am in?

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Well done getting that offside. But we've thrown away control of this game, which is what Martin's Plan A was supposed to give us. A bit of game management, without involving dropping back in stages through substitutions.

This is your fault.

[Chez]

Bloody great work (tracking back) from Aribo. Best thing he's done since the pre-season goal last year. Go on son.

[OttawaSaint]

If Aribo was a footballer he'd be pretty useful...
