Saints 1-1 Rotherham - Match Thread

[Sheaf Saint]

Full time.

Very fucking poor not to take all 3 points here. Very Saintsy indeed.

[BotleySaint]

Shocking result against a team second bottom, devoid of confidence and already adrift.

Very saintsy.

[The Kraken]

Awful awful result. Pathetic really, yet just predictable.

[adrian lord]

What a waste of £10

[SonicBoom]

Let's face it, our tactics are basically negative. More interested in passing than scoring. Martin thinks he knows something the rest of the league don't. Meanwhile the best teams play at a higher speed and score goals. 

[Disco Stu]

What a truly awful result. Killed any momentum. You have to beat the weakest teams at home, no excuses, I'm not sure we'll make top 6 with Martin in charge. It really is terrible being a Saints fan.

[Saint NL]

How many times have we seen an opposition manager make a change to their shape and turn a game?

How many times have we seen Martin change a game?

[SNSUN]

Shite. Rotherham fans will be delighted with that point. We need a potent striker. Over to you Ross.

The guy loves himself and thinks he is too clever.

[saintant]

Not good enough but it seems we had enough chances but failed to take all but one of them. That will be RM's message and I guess it's hard to argue with him.

[Saint Fan CaM]

The measure of that game for me is that 80% possession and a great goal feels like a loss and definitely two points dropped.

NOT GOOD ENOUGH !

[Zorba]

Shocking second half. First 10 minutes of Russball, dicking around with too many passes at the back. Three shit subs in one hit and it was all down hill from there. Garbage.

Why on earth do you take your best player off? Absolute madness. Thrown the game away

The moment Rotherham made an early switch and tactics change he was shitting himself that their manager would be seen as the genius. So he took off our best player in the hope we'd still win and he'd be hailed the genius.

[Baz Fl]

I know it’s a fairly new problem but does anyone think we need a striker/goalscorer?

That’s almost as bad as forest at home last season for me. Dreadful result.

We won’t be going up this season, no consistency and no killer instinct.

[Maggie May]

That was awful.

Bazunu And Martin out,  please

Most games, but not for the better.

No, we need new keeper though.

Is this a respect the point scenario?

And even with the goal that we did score, it was criminal that Che couldn't get that header on target.

Just like Ralph, as soon as the opposition played their Plan B we were screwed.

Said as much to a mate at half time. We will not get promoted if we do not put teams like Rotherham to the sword.

After hanging up our ST’s in the summer the decision has become easier by the week. ………. It would be nice to be having second thoughts just for everyone else’s benefit

[Morse]

80% possession.  20 shots at home against a side one off the bottom. Taking the lead after 2 mins and not winning is shockingly bad. Russball isn't working. 

[LGTL]

Rotherham will finish bottom on about 20 points. That is an absolutely astonishing result. 

[It's There]

We need to bury our chances. We had plenty!

As predicted the veritable banana skin. Even got the score right. Don’t like to be  right. It seems the moment we see an easy win on the horizon and on here we get 4-0 score predictions and the like it all goes tits up.

Playoffs at best. Already 11 points off automatic.

Well said HK my old pal.

[HKsaint]

Martin considers he wins this game as he got 80% possession. 

[hasper57saint]

ALMOST PREDICTABLE. PATHETIC.

We seem to have become a NAAFI team = No Ambition And FA Interest. 

 

[saintant]

My guess would be that the half time chat was along the lines of 'keep the ball, pass them to death and they'll tire and allow us to pick them off.

[Sidney Fudpucker the 3rd]

Ahh well, at least we get a Derby against the skates next season. 

[The Cat]

Frustrating. Created plenty enough chances to win the game comfortably but their keeper had an incredible game.

Why is it Russell's fault that the players can't finish so many clear cut chances? Too easy to blame the manager for this one. 

Yes I wouldn't have made that triple substitution at that moment but we should have had 2 or 3 goals by then

[Saint Fan CaM]

Leicester on 30 points - Saints on 17. Huge difference in managerial quality and not much to do with player quality in my book, with exception of Che Adams who is as impotent and mobile as a brick. He starts and we’re weaker somehow?!? Martin is not learning anything from past mistakes OR successes for that matter.

Why would he do that? If I were him and I saw comments like this, I'd just start screwing things up more and take the massive payout.

But we didn't, so keep them on until we do.
