Huddersfield were fired right up and giving it everything they had and didn't really cause us much issues. They'll tire even earlier now. 

We'll win this 3-0.

Let's hope so!

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Plenty of pace getting back to stop that attack. Doubling up too.

[Saint_clark]

How the hell did the ref give advantage to them there!? The guy rugby tackled KWP!

[Saint NL]

Free header.

 

Wake up ffs

[Saint Fan CaM]

Too much pissing around with the ball in our half almost gives them an equaliser. Only a matter of time before we gift them a way back.

[Block41 Saint]

This has been a pretty poor performance tbh. 

[obelisk]

Saints have gone right off the boil. Giving the ball away and there's another chance for an equaliser.

KWP apologised to the team, he was caught standing and watching when that cross came in.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Smallbone blocks.

We're in another spell of getting them to come on to us. But there's the risk of a slip/ misplaced pass when we do that. They had another effort there.

Again, need to take advantage of the space they leave after such attacks. Not let them reset to try it again.

^ none of this makes for encouraging reading!

[badgerx16]

Skates 0-2 down and down to 10 at home to Blackpool.

[Saint_clark]

Think Fraser is lucky to get the freekick there, he ducks his head down into the kick.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

There. A direct ball out wid, gets usa  freekick. Although our player ducked into that a bit, I thought.

[saintant]

Time for RM to make a clever tactical switch to take back control and finish them off. This is where managers earn their corn.

Yeah, hardly a high boot given how short Fraser is in the first place!

[Saint NL]

High foot on the shortest player on the pitch that was bending down.

 

That's the lowest high foot you'll see 😂

[Saint Fan CaM]

Pity we’ve not got a tall striker on the bench. Oh.

Time for their annual capitulation...?

Got to be Stewart for A.Armstrong.

[adrian lord]

Another 20 mins to go at least. Come on get a second!

[badgerx16]

Skates now 0-3

[Saint_clark]

Bednarek gets pulled down in the box, Huddersfield get the freekick!?!?

[Saint Fan CaM]

Bednarek getting manhandled to the ground for our corner - nothing given.

[Saint_clark]

Good claim by Bazunu. 

[saintant]

Time to stop pussyfooting around and make the game safe.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

I thought Fraser had gone too far across there. But he made the block. They had a good option for a through ball, they didn;t take.

[Saint NL]

There's an awful lot of space down our right...

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Edozie tackling well, and that went into the middle. Shame no one was there.

[Saint Matty 76]

Thought it'd be the perfect opportunity to make ease out of a game for once given the timing of the goal/the lack of quality Huddersfield had shown so far, but we've really just let them come at us and have a chance in this one which is very disappointing.

[thornhill_saints]

Leicester score.....

 

[saintant]

Hope they don't level it up and RM then throws Stewart on. Be proactive not reactive.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Their press bettered our possession from the back there. Playing the system a bit, and not the situation. Higher tempo required.

[Saint NL]

That's never a foul

[Saint_clark]

How is that a freekick? He obviously got the ball, you can tell by the direction it went.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Little nod for Edozie. Stu looking to launch it to AA. Edozie makes sure to put off a player looking to tackle Stu.

It’s not but you keep pissing about with ball in you own half you’ll start giving the Ref decisions

There didn't seem to be that many protests and though by the letter of the law, it's probably NOT a free kick, it's always gonna be given these days.

Shortly after a daft foul though...

[Saint NL]

Manning Stewart and Charles coming on

[obelisk]

Saints seem determined to throw away points today.

[Mr X]

God We are experts at inviting pressure 

[Holmes_and_Watson]

They had worked at that one. It wasn;t far away. Baz wasn;t... oh, replay shows it much further wide than I thought. 🙂

[gammon cheeks]

Bit dozy from Edozie 

[Saint Matty 76]

Happy with those three subs.

[Mr X]

Manning and Stewart 

[trousers]

Stewart on 10 - 20 mins too late for my liking, but what do I know...?

Not a fan of the triple sub tbh.

[Saint NL]

That's a great touch/tackle by kwp

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Keeping that AA work rate/ goal machine on. With Edozie on the other side and Stewart in the middle, should be interesting.

Good tackle from KWP. We are certainly making this a lot harder for ourselves.

Was going to say it's nice to have Stewart on so we can go long from goal-kicks but we immediately almost gave it away continuing to play short
