Saints 3-1 Birmingham - Match Thread

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Did enough to block for a corner there. We were harrying them, but without really stopping them for a few seconds. Corner...

[Saint Fan CaM]

Great goal - now let’s go for the jugular!

[adrian lord]

So much better without the hated VAR!

[Holmes_and_Watson]

An awkward one form them over the top. Baz was running out, but it hit off the guy's heel, so we'll thankfully never know if that was going to be another chip over our keeper.

[Saint NL]

Funny that they have a player called Sanderson. Surely we've played against a Draper or two.

Wonder if we'll ever play against a player called Sportsbet.io?

anyone got a stream?

 

[AlexLaw76]

is something more like a 442?

[RedArmy]

First order of business in January should be to sign THB and Downes on permanent deals. 

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Good work again by Smallbone, getting into a good position. Cross just a bit too long.

Not sure, looks like A. Armstrong has a free role to go where he wants. 

[Saint Fan CaM]

This Brum team look completely devoid of confidence - need to be put to the sword!!!

well, he is not wide right....so far anyway.

KwP is our right hand side, and Kamaldeen our left

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Nice from Bednarek. When we play the shorte poossession game, they get to reset and we don;t get to see Sule's real pace. That was a nice loger pass, giving Sule a chance. A few mnore of those will be nice, as Sule will be a real handful if they push up.

[Saint NL]

We seem to be getting it forward much quicker. That's a huge improvement

The Southampton sword is sadly a foam one used in LARPing. 🙂

I am not responsible if you cop off with a teen living near you who likes couch potatoes, or if your browser tells you are a very naughty boy.

They'll get the hairdryer from RM for this at HT, hopefully we're 3-0 up by then. 

[DT]

Can we actually try and get a second goal please? And not fanny about until they equalise. So fucking irritating. 
 

 

Update. thank you

We concede so many crossing opportunities into our box through corners and fouls.

And a shield to match, sadly. 

[goodymatt]

2-0 Charly!

[stknowle]

Great Goal. FUCKING HAVE IT!!!

[Colinjb]

Lovely goal.

Well done Sully.

[Saint86]

Too slow again closing down that Burke shot from range. You'd think they'd be on this by now!!!

[Saint NL]

2-0

 

Lovely

[adrian lord]

YEEEEEES!

[saintant]

Super goal. We look so different today. The pass and move is all there. Brilliant.

[OttawaSaint]

Charlyyy! Brilliant from Sule!

[Saint Fan CaM]

Fucking brilliant goal. There’s more to be done though - we all know that.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Whew! That was a hit. Thankfully form a bit wider, as we've conceded a couple form that distance more centrally. Need to get our momentum back here.

 

And we do. Sule with a lovely run, and Alcaraz with a good run and finish!!!!! Yeeees!!!!

[bpsaint]

Beautiful goal!

[DT]

We’re going to need another one though guys. At least. 

[adrian lord]

Birmingham are going to regret Rooney. 

[Master Bates]

[sydney_saint]

Brave passing today. Looking to get in behind. Willingness to lose the ball to create chances. And we look so much better for it

[Sunglasses Ron]

What is this feeling I’m experiencing, a mix of happiness and confidence. I feel dizzy.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Offside, but Baz kept it out. Smallbone did get in an early block, where in other days he hasn;t always. So, that's positive too.

[Saint NL]

This is like the Leeds game again.

Hopefully we don't turn off at half time again

[bpsaint]

Wouldn’t it be lovely to put them to the sword and get our goal difference back into a positive!!

[Sheaf Saint]

Now that was a fucking lovely goal. 

Come on Saints. Let's put them properly to the sword now.

[Saint_clark]

Great play. Nice to see us play the direct balls both over the top and through the defence. Good save Baz just after as well.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

I thought KWP just barged right into him. Thanks ref.

[AlexLaw76]

clear as day the players are trying to "get it forward" much more and quicker

[Sheaf Saint]

2 shots on target, 2 goals.

Feels like it's been a very long time since that has happened in our favour rather than against us 

[Maggie May]

We look so much more comfortable with Keith Andrews commentating than Don Goodman. 

Edited 28 October, 2023 by Maggie May

[Holmes_and_Watson]

As they;re now closign down Sule a bit more, KWP is getting room in that advanced right slot. Could get some joy down there. And that's where mixing it up really helps us, and not predicatble passing moves through the middle. Birmingham, aren;t sure which way we're going here. 

[Saint NL]

Let's get that clean sheet. 

[Saint86]

Great tracking by AA there. None of our defence were going to step out again.

[Saint NL]

Classic Adam Armstrong, chases back to made a good tackle, then fluffs an easy pass 😂

[DT]

Our goalkeeper is so shit. And why are we giving so much space to dembele. So bloody loose at the back even now
