Preston 2-2 Saints - Match Thread

God our style of football is utter shit. Boring overpassing. Slow, dull, without any threat. It’s so tedious. As soon as there is a sniff of something we get a nosebleed and pass it back or lose it. Think I might switch over. Such an inevitability about conceding and none of rsvhave the balls to actually attack or take the game to them. Appalling.

I don't mind Smallbone but he doesn't exactly bust a gut to run after someone does he...

Doesn’t bust a gut or do anything at speed, awful player, we would be much better side with more tempo if he wasn’t involved, never passes to a players correct foot either

He’s a horrible player. Slow, ponderous, safe, can’t run, can’t tackle. Basically everything you don’t want in a midfielder.

he always looks knackered and cant be arsed to track back ...............terrible player.

Booked too now. I know he's the current academy poster boy but I'd choose Downes, Charles, Stu, and Alcaraz before I picked Smallbone. Obviously a Martin favourite. I know he's scored a couple of goals recently but that's no more than the others should be doing given a chance. Passing is decent but that's not quite enough for me. I still hope he can come good though but he's nearly 24, not a youngster.

Agree, defo a Martin favourite unfortunately so we are stuck with him in the same way we were stuck with Ely for too long

Right, that's me done on the granny porn. Any goals yet?

You have more chance of scoring with one of those grannies than we have against Preston tonight.

I don't think Smallbone has been terrible. It's just a midfield 3 of Charles, Downes and Smallbone is destined to be dour. Then on the few times we get the ball forward, it ends up with Arma and the move breaks down. Edozie and KWP are the only 2 with any creativity. That said, we have been decent defensively, we just don't look like scoring
