Prefer it when we get our one goal per game later than this....

I'm going to claim that second goal. You're welcome 😁

[sibster]

Match officials often get a lot of stick but what a fantastic advantage played after Alcarez was taken out in the build up! Let's hope we can go in to see a comfortable win..... 

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Alcaraz also working back really hard. We are working hard for this level of control. Good to see.

[OttawaSaint]

Come on, let's thrash someone for a nice change!

[Saint NL]

What minute will Armstrong get his hat trick? He looks possessed today

[Suhari]

Loving this.

Pushing hard for another.

Playing some lovely stuff.

[Mr X]

Let's not take our foot off the gas and get complacent keep pushing for the third!  

[trousers]

Wish we played this way more than once every 9 games

[Holmes_and_Watson]

He's not been central to any of our best moves. But Adams is pulling players away, creating space and is never far away from picking something up, if it gets to him. Suiting our more attacking approach to day, to have an extra body in a position to hopefully take advantage.

[OttawaSaint]

Trousers will be away, pre ordering the DVD of this...

Well……

[saintant]

This is much better and two goals as a result. Keep it going Saints.

[Ed Rooney]

Absolute joy to watch at the moment

Yeah, having said that I certainly don’t consider this game dead yet!

[NewYorkSaint]

One small - or maybe not so small - thing I love is how Saints have changed their approach to throw-ins this season. We took forever under Hasenhuttl and often lost possession. Now, seems like the instruction is to throw quickly, even if it means going backward.  I love this. 

[Ed Rooney]

Charles so much better on and off the ball than smallbone

they didn’t mention it directly but he looked like he got a reasonable whack. Would prefer it if players didn’t push their face into the dirt when it happens but he did get a good old clock in the mooey.

I personally think he gives so much more to the team than Smallbone does, he’s a proper player.

[saintant]

2 shots 2 goals, good work boys.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Alcaraz got his pocket picked there. Downes took a yellow to stop them getting an effort in. Good to see the players support each other after it.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Good range for a free kick....

[Holmes_and_Watson]

...bounces harmlessly off the death star wall... 🙂

[Viking Saint]

Some outrageously good play from us there

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Goals are all very well...

But 73% possession!

anyone got a link to a working stream, none of the one's listed by CC are working for me !!

mistake

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Pen claim for them. Our passing out form the back got too tight, and we perservered, giving it away. They are coming into it more. Bednerek blocked a powerful shot.

[Saint NL]

Cardiff giving it a go now.

Looks like the fog is coming in too

73% isn't good enough at this level 😜

[obelisk]

Saints putting themselves under pressure.

Edozie still not getting a look in then.

Starting Adams like Starting with 10 men and back to the Manning experiment. 

No Smallbone at all, so must be injured. Ditto Doyle (who would presumably be next in line) so bench appearances for Amo & Dibling is good to see.

2-0 up after 15 minutes is pretty good for a team playing with 10 men.

[Saint NL]

We're going to be 3-0 and the game will be abandoned due to fog 😂

[RedArmy]

What kind of a bloody surname is “Ng”? 

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Bedders gone down again. He's been very composed today, happy to come forward and ping passes about as well as the usual defensive work.

[obelisk]

It'd be typical if this gets called off by fog.

Typical. We get 2 goals ahead and undead pirates come out of The Fog... 🙂

Baldwin of Notts County should be our top priority in January!

Saved this comment because I knew I'd see my Notts County supporting friend (and ex-player for a claim to fame) later. Just shown him the comment without knowing the context and he showed me the goals from last night...Ouch...

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Adams again in a really good position. Nothing reaching him yet, but keeps them on their toes.

It's Chinese. Pronounced something similar to "ing". 

Sounds familiar...

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Manning did so well to get that back. We have AA on the back post, but noone in the middle for him. We've tow further back towards the edge.

[Saint NL]

Nice from Bazunu, but we're not getting a clean sheet today

[Viking Saint]

Bazunu did very well there

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Baz! Using his striker's head to get that clear. For a moment I htought he wasn;t getting that, but he was just timing it, as all top poachers do.

[OttawaSaint]

Brave from Baz there.

[Bad Wolf]

I don't wanna tempt fate but this is Manning's best half of football in a Saints shirt. Brilliant so far.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Martin going all shouty. Possibly over the clatter that Baz gave their player? perfectly valid challenge.

A short one.

Should be three
