Are we just a bit fucking toothless?

Yep, plus we can't defend, have a midfield who don't compete or create and a goalkeeper who makes Penny Mordaunt look like a top diver. Other than that we are looking good for promotion.

Exactly this so what are the coaches doing?

"The Goldmine Effect: Crack the Secrets of High Performance", Rasmus Ankersen; Icon Books, 1st Jan 2015.

RM, one step forward, two steps back.

[whelk]

I wish I hadn’t finished Top Boy

[obelisk]

Form would indicate that we're on for 4 defeats next.

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

We have created fuck all all game. The goal was a spark of genius - that I am sure RM will be having a word with KWP about.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

The game stretches after a Preston attack. We're away...and have no idea how to get it into the box.

[SNSUN]

Saints attack...

[Saint NL]

Fuck off Charles shooting from there

[Lighthouse]

We’ve got players taking shots like that and people think our goalie is the problem.

[AlexLaw76]

Charles has had an appalling game. 

What has happened to him? he looked excellent in CM earlier this season

[adrian lord]

This is utter crap. 

[Convict Colony]

I love that when it's balls to the walls time cos we are in the shit he brings on the direct attacking and fast passing players.

Fraser

Sulemana

Charly

S Armstrong

[saintant]

A totally disjointed 90 minutes of football. Explanations needed from RM.

[obelisk]

This is painful.

He's not the problem but a goalkeeper who rarely makes saves definitely is a problem. Madness that people want to continue to defend him after he's let another two soft goals in. 

[Saint NL]

I forgot Fraser came on, has he touched it yet?

More time with our coaching staff.

[sfc4prem]

You could be forgiven for falling asleep.

Just bullied out of it yet again

We 'created' fuck all in the first half as well. Only scored from an individual piece of brilliance.

We don't just grow talent, we squander it 

[OttawaSaint]

Last minute winner at weekend so they've been fellating themselves all week. Predictable result ensues...

There are multiple problems, it isn't one thing. There are more problems than solutions in the squad and management.

"Er, patience, scar tissue. Er, more possession......."

[Saint_clark]

So inconsistent. Never gonna go up playing this way.

No, just a typical young player who will have good and bad games. Which is why we shouldn't pin our hopes on youth as we found out last year.

But we do score late goals so....

[saints-til-i-die]

Don’t forget- apparently Martin won everyone over during the tactical evening. I always said it was just words. Some fans were hanging off his every word. He has to earn that sort of reverence. He hasn’t.

[Lighthouse]

Alcaraz utterly hopeless since he came on too.

[adrian lord]

Okay, so Bednarek is pronounced with the emphasis on the middle syllable? 

[Streaky]

ZZZZZZZZZ

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

I wouldn’t call them “crosses” , just continually driving the ball across the penalty area, sometimes at 100mph, sometimes over everyone’s head to the other side of the box. 

[obelisk]

Saints shooting is abysmal.

[Saint NL]

Franny is getting worked up about the possibility of 6 mins injury time.

We won't score, it's just 6 more minutes of farting about

[Katalinic]

Even Pellegrino's football was a better watch than this shit.

[saints-til-i-die]

Another match goes by where we pass it around without creating anything. It’s pointless. The talent in this squad HAS to do better than this. 

[LGTL]

Don’t know where to start with this tonight. Pitiful

[SambaMaverick]

I wonder if the board know that if we don't go up, it could be five seasons or more before we're back in the hunt.

It doesn't fucking seem like it

[Block41 Saint]

Shea Charles has been awful. 

[Lee On Solent Saint]

Outplayed by another bang average Championship team

[Tauro]

Such a boring and predictable "style" of football. Leicester will soon be 20 points clear of us.

[saintant]

Not one player has had the nous to look to get between the lines - it's part and parcel of possession football. RM and his coaches clearly don't understand how it works.

[obelisk]

What the hell are they doing fannying around at the back and screwing it up?

Martin decided to drop him just as he was playing well

[Lighthouse]

Charles, Alcaraz, Mara, Fraser, AA, Edozie and Adams all dreadful tonight.
