Martin needs to earn his money here...

Yeah, needs to change it.

[AlexLaw76]

This is where Martin needs to earn his corn...do something, change something...as they will score again

[Saint NL]

I predict that Dramah will score a late one to make a good headline

[Sheaf Saint]

Jesus. Gone from totally in control to on the ropes. 

[obelisk]

This should have been a comfortable win. Pretty soon will be begging for a point at this rate.

[bpsaint]

It’s an embarrassment how quickly we fall apart once we concede.

[Convict Colony]

there is some right bullshit from our forward players here, what the fuck was S armstrong doing on the break

He's waiting for 2-2 to bring on Mara.

Ffs. How have we gone from sharp to shit so fast? 

Martin;s half time team talks seem to have this effect. 🙂

[Convict Colony]

looks like aribo and fraser

[Saint Fan CaM]

Need to change out Stu - he’s shot.

Fuck me whats RM said at half-time?! This is a different side!

He did this vs Leeds. We played more direct, got a lead and then he reverted to his normal play to try and claim his style won us the game.

Those half time laxatives might have been a mistake

[adrian lord]

Better. 

[saintant]

Looks like we've dropped off 10 yards.

Because he’s is a fraud

We play well in spite of him not because of him

should have won this 5 nil but now likely struggle to draw 

And now fuckin Aribo🤮 He can’t run ffs. Joke player

W aren;t a phsycial side. So we're never going to outfight a team. AA is showing that we have to outwork them, stretching the game. I was thinking Alcaraz's shot just gave back possession. But their keeper had a bit of a fumble with it in the wet.

[Convict Colony]

you can give martin shit but that goal was down to a players mistake on basic defending

[Saint NL]

Even if we win this, Martin's reputation will be slightly worse than before kick off. Quite impressive in a way.

Yeah. Subs can;t be far away. Just to get some energy back in. But they have to come on firing, and help us keep a shape. We have brough players on and it's fallen to pieces even more. Which subs will we get today. 🙂

[obelisk]

Aribo on for Alcarez. 😬

[OttawaSaint]

RM team talk at HT. 

Boys, wtf, this isn't what we worked on all week!

How are we going to break the pass record now. Slow it re fuck down!

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Alcaraz for Aribo. So, keeping a pacy central option then. 🙂

[Saint Fan CaM]

WTF?! Aribo on for Alcarez?!?!

The players must hate it. It’s no surprise they get all nervy and start making mistakes once it starts to unravel. 

[Jimbo]

Aribo has no place being near the first team

[Elmore Saint]

The ponderous passing around the centre circle seems to have made its customary reappearance…

[saintant]

We've slowed everything down and are giving the ball away cheaply.

[Saint NL]

Aribo has 20-25 mins to show us what he can do. Looking forward to seeing what it is.

Alceraz has been cack today bar putting away a goal that literally anyone could have put away.

He's actually looked decent every time he's played this season. One player that should benefit from pass and move football.

His mere presence is unsettling them. 🙂

I always forget all about him until they sub him in.

Dare I say it, but we may have weathered the storm from Wayne Rooney's Birmingham.

Che and Adam might have challenged that 🤪

Brave post. 🙂

[Saint Fan CaM]

Fucking Aribo - not touched the ball yet …poor positioning. Useless.

[Saint NL]

Oh great, Fraser is coming on.

 

(This worked wonders last week)

He’s the same each week. I’ve no idea whatsoever why so many fans rate him.

Che would've somehow either fluffed it straight to the keeper or scoop it up onto his hand.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Really good Baz clearance there.

[Saint Fan CaM]

Fouls coming in on Saints players…getting nothing!

[obelisk]

Just trying to remember what it was like to win a game comfortably.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

We get the foul, take a second. Sule going off for Fraser. So, Aribo and Fraser to replicate the wider threat we showed from the first half. No doubt Fraser will be keepn to take up space in the middle, so hopefully a bit of a team up with AA there. Just need the pace of play to be getting it up to them, to worry their back line.

[Saint Fan CaM]

We’re gonna get undone here by a fast counter. Wait and see.

[saintant]

Need to get further forward and back on the front foot or this only ends one way.

[Saint86]

Could hear a pin drop for much of this half, does have to be said.

[adrian lord]

come on Saints
