Stoke 0-1 Saints - Match Thread

[Suhari]

Not watching this one: it's gone 1am and I'm on a plane home early tomorrow.

Me not watching = Saints win.

3-0. 

You can thank me later.

At 3 days, I was really into boobs and sh*tting my pants. I think I'm starting to get a lid on the latter.

Congratulations Wiggles! I actually used to be a baby myself, so if you need any advice let me know.

What do you mean “used to be”?

Just get your missus pissed and start breast feeding. Let the baby have some as well. 😁😁

Have you got him a login here yet so he can throw his toys out the pram when we go 1 down?

Did we win yet? 4 0 in the end?

1-3

[Saint_clark]

Martin just said the way we played in the first half including not having as much of the ball was a subconscious choice by the players after the recent run of results we had. 

Not sure I'd have admitted that.

Congratulations!

If we win tonight, be sure to tell him that it's generally relentless misery, and not to get carried away. Never too early to learn. 🙂

Yeah, maybe just a weird comment / mistake in what he was trying to say?

Looks like we've basically gone with the same setup as last time out - so maybe he's learning / prepared to adapt? But then that comment fills me with dread over another 90min of suicide football

I thought he said we had lots of the ball in the first half then it was a self conscious effort by the players to adjust and let Leeds have more of the ball in the second half.

Congratulations. I developed a superstition that we never lost or let a goal in with my firstborn in the room when he was in a baby... i made sure he stayed firmly on my lap for the entire Swansea away win in the prem... woke him up when gabbi scored 🤣

Urgh, i feel positive, this just asking for a fall. I hate feeling positive gives you something to loose. Bring back last season.

[Saint Fan CaM]

Blimey, poor level of home attendance by the looks of it. Take note SR - this could happen to Saints if we stay in this league for 5-6 seasons!

 Congratulations 👏!! 

Let's hope for 3 points. Best wishes to Mrs and Master Wiggles. 

[Sheaf Saint]

Smallbone was Stoke's leading chance creator last season? 

I just hope he doesn't inadvertently create any more for them tonight.

[Golac's Cunning Stunts]

as an aside, i'm watching copenhagen v bayern. elyounoussi playing, who i just discovered scored in the last champs league game for them

[Saint NL]

Everyone kneels for BLM apart from Adam Armstrong. That's strange

[Sheaf Saint]

Sully immediately letting their RB know what he's in for this evening.

[Saint86]

Are stoke booing smallbone? That's classy...

That was hairy

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Oooft Baz!

Smallbone concedes a corner a bit needlessly too.

[Saint_clark]

Great distribution.

[Saint Matty 76]

Every time I think Bazunu is taking a step forward..

[adrian lord]

These corners are not great for my blood pressure

So the players played their own way and got a 3-0 lead and then he reigned them in at HT and we lost that half 1-0 playing noticeably poorer football? Hmm.

[Saint Fan CaM]

Oh dear…we’re back to stupid mistakes at the back.

[Saint NL]

Bazunu needs to shout there, Bednarek could have left if.

Carved open but Manning back to cover. Smallbone error. 

[whelk]

Fucking Smallbone. Sharpen up

[Saint86]

"Manning tracked the run"... by playing him onside the entire way. Good job its a midtable championship striker for pace, movement, and skill 🤣

Edited 3 October, 2023 by Saint86

Smallbone gives the ball away so much. He did it a few times v Leeds before he got his goal and seemed to settle down.

Who was the last player we had on loan that we then booed when they were back at their parent club? Can't think of anyone off the top of my head.
