Preston 2-2 Saints - Match Thread

[Wade Garrett]

Charles is having a bad one.

[obelisk]

Crosses going into the box but nobody there to take advantage.

Do we ever have anybody at the back post. FFS.

Think Sulemana thinks we have an invisible 12ft player

[lambtiss]

On a positive note, we've managed to find a Championship left back worse than Manning

The 4 As

 

Adam Armstrong anonymous again

Done more than Mara, thats for sure. Waste of french space

Why is Sulemana hitting every cross to the other side of the box where nobody is? Third time now 

Maybe one of his team mates should fill that space?

Fuck off, jesus

These modern goal keepers spend tok much time practicing FC24 level 4 skills, kicking and not enough time on diving, saving, catching the basics of a keeper. Bring back Antti

[gammon cheeks]

Is Mara waiting for the bus to come!

[Lord Duckhunter]

Sulemana needs to get it sideways slower. He’s confusing our players by going round people and getting to the byline

The manager tells centre halves to pass out from the back, he’s not fucking  Franz Beckenbauer he is going to give it away. Unless Lego head tells him to stand there with his legs apart doing a Katie Price impression, it’s poor goal keeping. 

Poor example, Katie Price would definitely go down quicker.

Sounds like Tall Paul.

He's been a really disappointing signing imo. The fee we paid for him is massive in this league, he should be dominating it. 

[AlexLaw76]

We continuously rely on individual brilliance to get a break through, as opposed to patterns of play.

Martin is such a fraud

Dunno tho she's had a lot of things go through her

Obviously RM hasn't got through to him yet.

It might also help if he learned how to cross the ball

[sfc4prem]

Are we just a bit fucking toothless?

[sydney_saint]

One Armstrong is giving it absolutely everything to make something happen. The other is giving him nothing

Yeah it feels like every manager since Koeman has never really given us that cutting edge we need.

[Disco Stu]

Pedestrian and boring. We're worse than the sum of our parts.

[saintant]

I think if Mara was playing charades and the word was footballer no one would ever get the answer.

[sfc4prem]

Holgate done OK so far. Good challenge there.

[whelk]

Get Neil Warnock in

[adrian lord]

The passing game we espouse requires lots of movement off the ball to open up angles and opportunities to pass into players in quick succession, so as to unlock the opposition defence.                                                                                         Our players are so often visibly static.

Don’t forget to give your head a wobble though mate. You know, just in case 90% of us are wrong.

 

 

[gammon cheeks]

Mara is the laziest player ive seen for a long time 

[Saint NL]

Tell Sulemana to move up the pitch FFSs.

Whys he playing so deep

[badgerx16]

Pace, urgengcy, direct.

 

Just 3 words you won't hear in a Russel Martin coaching session.

[Saint_clark]

Ched Evans was innocent boys, careful labelling him as anything he isn't.

[LGTL]

Honestly Martin just fuck off. Such a fraud

[SNSUN]

15 minutes to go. Still time to score a couple of goals. 

Not sure which way though...

[saintant]

It's all very poor when you think we should be pushing for an equaliser and haven't tested their keeper.

[Wade Garrett]

Bree is dogshit.

Just kidding. I can hear the boos from St Andrews!!!!

Exactly this so what are the coaches doing?

[woodsaint1]

Bree, Charles, Mara

The three of them have been absolutely shocking

We've tested the airspace about the penalty spot though.

Ehh bree has been ok

[Harry_SFC]

In fact I think I was being kind on Mara. At least a fan from the crowd would move around a bit.

You can add Adam Armstrong to that list too

[saintant]

Mara is a fraud.

[sydney_saint]

We haven't really created a clear cut chance all game. Even our goal was a bit of KWP magic rather than working a great opportunity

[Block41 Saint]

This is piss poor. We've created fuck all in this half. 

[Saint NL]

We break and then slow right down. We have serious pace, why can't we use it? It's infuriating

Bit like the majority of your posts.

[AlexLaw76]

That break from the goal link tackle sums us up...getting forward, beaten many of their players, wide right of their box and then back we go

 

fuck off russell martin
