Saints 1-0 Bristol City - Match Thread

[SonicBoom]

Every game u listen to on solent, Jo Tessem says 'we just don't move the ball quickly enough' and yet every week we do exactly the same. 

Meanwhile Ipswich are playing with pace at home and went 2 up in 15 minutes.

Other than in a dead rubber last season he's been all fart and no shit...

[saintant]

If this is Russball you can keep it.

[Andrew Watson]

Turned off after 30 minutes,utter dross for the umpteeth time this season.

[Saint NL]

Good save Bazunu.

 

Yawn

[stknowle]

Great save Baz. 

[Suhari]

Great move from them.

Acres of space at left back.

[adrian lord]

Can’t watch it or listen to it, but from the comments on here, it seems we are putting in yet another pedestrian performance.

[The Kraken]

This has got all the hallmarks of a 0-1. Two very average teams.

And as I say that Bazunu keeps a good one out, Shute defending down the left side.

It would be better for football if they went up. The only reason we may go up instead of them is because our squad cost more money. That's kinda crap.

I want our expensive side to dominate teams. Suffocate them up the pitch. Try and win in every part of the pitch. Be brave

[RedArmy]

This is fucking boring

Yep.

I've seen ditch water that's more inspirational.

[CanadaSaint]

It’s like having a team of JWPs but without the free kicks.

[The Kraken]

Che Adams turning like the QE2 to nobble one wide.

Stream?

[OttawaSaint]

This guy makes Puel-ball look like Chris Nicholl's 4-2-4....

[Saint NL]

Ref isn't giving us much

[Bad Wolf]

Ref giving them everything. Adams is genuinely one of the worst strikers I've ever seen from us and that's some achievement...

[SNSUN]

What a save Baz

[stknowle]

Good save Baz.

[Colinjb]

Baz keeping us in this.

[Saint NL]

Another great save Bazunu.

 

Were lucky to be at 0-0

[trousers]

Great save Bazunu!

[saint lard]

Utter utter dross. Shambles. Disgraceful game of so called football, primarily from us. 
they should be 2 nil up. 

You can shove this shite up your arse Russell Martin. 
just praying for a positive result from a negative display. 

[Scoobysaint]

First game I’ve watched I a while due to family and work commitments. It’s pretty dull. I get the passing possession type game if it moves your opponents. We seem to pass and pass and pass and pass and not one of there players is dragged out of position. When they may possibly be out of position, we play it sideways or backwards. We are lucky not to be two down. 

[badgerx16]

Baz saves the CBs from embarrassment

[Sheaf Saint]

Fucksake. They should be well in the lead by now. 

Another dreadful performance from us.

[Mr X]

Jesus only a matter of time before we concede

[vectraman]

2 fab saves from Bazunu in 5 minutes. Great stuff 

[SNSUN]

Not a bad ball from AA but nobody gambled. 

[Saint NL]

Nice cross, Che can't be arsed, goes out for a goal kick

[Bad Wolf]

Bazunu makes two brilliant saves. No doubut this will be ignored. He DoEsNt SaVe AnYtHiNg

[Mr X]

Bristol city look dangerous on the break unlike us 

[LGTL]

Absolutely dire half of football. This is Martin at his very worst. 

[saintant]

Let's hold our hands up and admit that RM is too clever for this team and they'll never learn the finer points of his tactical genius - he's wasted on these players.

[DT]

We still look so fragile. As soon as we lose possession it’s knife through butter. This hasn’t changed all season. Hard to watch

[Saint NL]

Another yellow.

 

[hypochondriac]

Great from Bazunu fair play to him. This is the kind of game that's crucial to win. Stink the place out and sneak a 1-0 off Bednarek's arse.

That's because we don't do breaks.

We do 'slow down and pass backwards '.

[Saint86]

Awful tackle by manning, wtf was he doing.

[AlexLaw76]

Another Russell Martin Master Class so far

Literally about ten comments on it before you posted. 

Genuinely weird man.

Fuck me, you're easily pleased. He's been better of late but as one shit performance doesn't make him bad (several do), one good save doesn't make him great.

 

He's still very average is our football

[Saint NL]

Ref 😂

 

Not giving us anything

[Suhari]

We are utter pish at times.

Possibly my fault since I'm watching this one.

[CB Fry]

At least Russell will be able to stir them up with one of his team talks that will send them out absolutely firing in the second half.

[AlexLaw76]

We look like (again) a team with absolutely no business in/near the top 2

[Saint NL]

A lackluster half.

We normally lose about 50% urgency in the second half, so that's going to be something to behold.

[RedArmy]

If were a first half team I can’t wait to watch the second half 😴😴

[saintant]

Watched Watford last night and fuck me they were a joy compared to this sterile walking football we have to suffer.
