Hull 1-2 Saints - Match Thread

[Disco Stu]

We have nobody responsible for protecting our wide areas. Complete free reign like we've seen a few times this season. Every team knows this is our biggest vulnrability and Martin still hasn't adressed it. I don't think he ever will.

Good chance for Hull. HB slipped. Delap not looking any good though

Oops. 

[GDog07]

What happens to us when we take a lead, seriously 😐

It never seems to last 5mins before we concede an equaliser, weak.

[Convict Colony]

At least club say people re trying to fix the stream.

[adrian lord]

Our passing is telegraphed a week beforehand, and if not, is hopelessly wayward.

We are terrible, absolutely terrible. 
 

I don’t see any of these positives that people keep trying to point out 

You forgot time. We need to give him/them all the time in the world, you know until it's mathematically impossible to get promotion, to iron out the kinks.

 

 

And bravery 

 

 

 

 

And then some more time.

Below Swansea as things stand 🙂

Any chance they’re trying to fix this shit football too?

Yup. Ten seconds of eye contact and a nod before each pass.

Manning is proper shite in all areas, offensively and defensively. Need Larios back ASAP.

Feel for Bazunu, another goal conceded he could do nothing about.

Larios was out of his depth in the few games that he played.

That's another dirty sheet then.

11 out of 12, so close to a perfect record.

You'd think Martin could spare some snake oil from his hair to cure the scars??

We are appalling defensively under Martin and pretty tame up front too, I know a complete change of style will take time to bed in and gel but not sure we have enough time in the world for this style to work with our players and fragile mentality 

[Bad Wolf]

Alceraz really isn't as good as everyone makes out. Decent player for sure but certainly not the be all and end all.

[OttawaSaint]

Ineffective and boring tactics. So fragile at the back too. Fed up!

Same goes for Sulemana.

Shut up you donkey! Patience is needed. Promotion push is coming you’ve just got to wait, and wait, and wait.

4th most goals in the league. Not saying it's a great situation but I disagree that we're' tame up front.

[Saint NL]

Sulemana has been very ineffective so far.

He's been a real outlet recently so need to get him firing

[RedArmy]

Change to hull city if you’re on IPTV, it’s not Plymouth any more and the quality is sorted.

Been average at best so far

I’ve written the season off - doesn’t hurt so much.

I did, they've got Jon Richardson on commentary

IMO he's class in this league.

[Saint_clark]

Players with pace, dribbling ability and good at playing direct getting their shots away early like Sully and Charly won't look good in Martins style of play. Wasted.

[Bad Wolf]

Being below Swansea as it stands does show you how fickle fans are though - One month ago, most of their fans wanted their manager gone and the comments were worse than ours about Martin.

Maybe give him some forward balls in behind where he can use his blistering pace to cause a bit of havoc - I know it's a bit radical but it could work. 

[DT]

Mid table. As predicted. Can’t defend. Tactics wrong. Humdrum. Boring. And so it continues. 

[Mr X]

Why do we concede so many straight after scoring? Saints take lapses in concentration to a a whole new level 

[BotleySaint]

Not seen any of the game but BBC says they've had more possession and chances. It seems even Martins attempts to play the stats game isn't working today?

[Tanlee]

Playing the football we do we will win about about the same as we lose so mid table is nailed on, you cant win promotion being so easy to create chances against. 

[Block41 Saint]

Manning is so bad.

Because we are very poorly coached.

[Master Bates]

Manning suspended against Preston live Wednesday night. 5th yellow

Booked because he can't even foul properly

Agree. Pleased is he is suspended for the next match.

Manning is shit

[niceandfriendly]

Manning suspended for next match. Thank goodness.

Did perraud actually want out? It sort of went under the radar. As he would have been great in this division, and was okay in the prem

[Saint NL]

Stu should finish that

Perraud had his faults but still light years ahead of manning

To be fair I think he needs the ball, he's currently a runner not a footballer 

[Miltonaggro]

Wonder when they’ll schedule next week’s fans forum to reassure us 😂

Answered your own question mate!!

Two best dressed managers in the league today.

Tepid.

Janny B being told off for having his short pulled.
