Saints 1-1 Rotherham - Match Thread

[Saint NL]

Not to be cold hearted for the poor fan that's probably had a heart attack, but can't they shift him to a concourse and start the game? Since when did this become a thing

Anyone know why the second half hasn't started yet? 

Something about ignoring a cat...

About 2/3 years ago if my memory serves. Think the first time they stopped the game for one was at Newcastle then more quickly followed.

The ref won a few. He's been getting stuck in...

[Saint NL]

Looks like we are resuming now.

 

Alcarez doing some heavy warm up, looks like he'll be on soon

Here we go again. Hope the streams don’t cut short. 😳

[SNSUN]

Medical incident? I hope the person will be ok. Best result for Rotherham would be postponing this match so I hope it continues unlike the Orient game the other day.

It's kicked off again.

[Simon3737]

The iFollow audio only coverage of the 25 minute half time entertainment was an absolute thrill! Wish I was there! 🤪

[Saint NL]

Have they had a touch yet? 😂

[BotleySaint]

Total dominance. But nothing much to show for it so far.. 

[Saint_clark]

Always makes me chuckle when a random camera man has clearly been staring at a fit bird in the crowd and then when it cuts to him for a crowd shot he slowly pans away.

[Saint_clark]

Fuck off with this shit at the back saints.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Rotherham happy to sit deep. So we've had 100% possession. We've not done anything with it. And we give it away fro a throw in.

Now we're one up, so this isn;t something that's as important as it stands.  But just a reminder that it would good so see us make the most of such attacks by being a bit more incisive, when possession alone isn;t enough.

[Saint NL]

Looking a bit shaky at the back....

[BotleySaint]

It'll take a Rotherham goal for us to attack. We seem to have been told to just keep the ball and not try to score. A return of Russball

[Saint Fan CaM]

Looking bereft for ideas in the last third now.

[Saint NL]

All a bit complacent so far this half. 

Need to get Sulemana back on the ball

[Holmes_and_Watson]

We did a long hoof there, which is a least a little different. It'll be interesting to see how much Martin has instructed the team to break them down, even when we have a lead, and how he's getting them to do that.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Suleman gets it across, beating his man. No real chance of a tap in from anyone, but getting there.

 

[Saint_clark]

Sheffield United in real danger of beating Derby's record.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Smallbone getting some crossing practice in today. Since he takes up so many poisitons in any game, he's being asked to have a lot of different skills.

I agree. It's weird. 

[Saint NL]

Wtf is dean Hammond going on about Aribo scaring tired defenders? 

[Holmes_and_Watson]

That's the second Rotherham ball that could have caused problems had it had the quality to be a complete pass. Not enough to be worrying, but it's just that one goal margin.

[Saint_clark]

Adams needs to come off, he's not in sync with the rest of the team. Keeps breaking down when it gets to him. 

Give mara some decent game time.

Which is the total opposite of being ‘brave’

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Booking surely!

Sulemana did really well there.

[Saint NL]

Freekick from sulemanas turn and run

[adrian lord]

triple subs

They had to perform cpr on the person so can’t move someone in those circumstances.

[Saint NL]

Triple sub!

Fraser, Edozie and Charlie 

[GDog07]

Honestly thought we’d take a chunk out our goal difference and net 5 or 6 considering we had 5 shots on target after 15mins, 1-0 up and a goal chalked off.

85% possession, at home and all the shots in the world and it’s still only 1 🥲

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Stu...Blazes it Over!

[Saint_clark]

Ffs, Sully and both Armstrong's off and Adams stays on.

[LGTL]

The medial emergency, some poor guy tripped on the stairs and smashed his head on the concrete. Lots of CPR but didn’t look too good apparently. 

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Subs....

Arma, Stu and Sulemana off

Alcaraz, Fraser and Edozie on

More direct with Alcaraz and extra dribbling with Fraser and Edozie to hopefully open up a defence happy enough to sit back, hoping for a break.

[Saint_clark]

Hammond "they've done their job so why not bring them off" 

It's only 1-0!!! When did he become so subservient? I miss Dave not being afraid to criticise the decisions made.

[Saint Fan CaM]

They’re gonna screw this up aren’t they?

Oof, fuck. Horrible for those around it too I imagine.

I hope it’s just ‘shop window’ for Che as he is the root cause of so much mediocrity at the club. So hope we sell him in January. Awful. 

[BotleySaint]

Saints being Saints, they'll let Rotherham back into it.. At least we made some attacking changes.

Yikes! Thanks for the update. Hope they will be ok.

[Saint Fan CaM]

WTF Manning??? Makes himself available in a forward position then completely goes flat footed.
