[obelisk]

Looks like the plan is to hang on for 0-1 then. 😐

Our longer range direct passing hasn;t been great. Not for the first game. With a couple of midfield absences, maybe that's what we're trying to do more of. But we give possession away needlessly.

KWP should really have just cleared that. Sometimes, when you've got a possession based game, you 're loathe to give the ball way under any circumstance. But sometimes, it needs clearing.

That's against the rules.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Manning getting treatments.

Martin telling Aribo and Mara "Just remember, they have Hoedt. Don;t bring shame to your families by conceding to a team with him in it."

[OttawaSaint]

Some hand signals from RM. Mara will definitely score now.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Ince's shot goes under our defender, but Baz is there and it's right at him.

Ball sticks to Aribo like a fridge magnet to ...well, a fridge... 🙂

[OttawaSaint]

Aribo cramping up. He's not used to playing this much. 

[Totton Saint]

Lost my stream so relying on you posters AT THE GAME for updates please

Good to see Smallbone back.

[trousers]

Lol @ Stu Armstrong 

[Saint NL]

Getting a bit tasty 

[trousers]

Nasty injury to Fraser?

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Stu gets booked for not going off at the nearest side. Watford's petulence just winds everyone up.

Stu and Aribo off.

Fraser gets studs on his ankle. Let's hope that's not serious. We really need him.

[Block41 Saint]

Going to be plenty of stoppage time now. 

[CB Fry]

Setting it up lovely for a stoppage time equaliser here.

[bpsaint]

Love seeing us practice the dark arts of the game a little. Been far too nice for too long.

[obelisk]

Fraser looks poorly. Nasty.

[iansums]

Fraser will be out for a while

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Watford commentary team moaning aobut our players going down. When they've clearly been hit. Earlier in the game, Watford were the ones going down needlessly.

[obelisk]

Please don't tell me we've used all the subs.

[tdmickey3]

8 minutes added

[Holmes_and_Watson]

8 mins!

[Totton Saint]

I saw Baz's lovely save earlier

[OttawaSaint]

Jesus christ. 8 minutes!

[adrian lord]

Hateful 8??????

Wtf. Even with the deays that's a joke.

No, we've got one left to use.

[Saint_clark]

Stays like this, the top four have pulled away from the rest. 

[adrian lord]

Bompey 4-0 now. Ten Hag days numbered?

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Bednarek passing out is good.

Smallbone already taking up loads of spaces on the pitch. I've missed seeing that (even though CHarles and Downes have done really well)

As I type, he's at the other end of the pitch winning a tackle.

[OttawaSaint]

4-0 to Bournemouth.

Shamblolic defending.

Fraser getting a booking. Good he's not hurt.

[BotleySaint]

Love how Fraser is absolutely fine 😆

Goal chalked off. Handball. V unlucky.

[BotleySaint]

Has Mara actually touched the ball since he came on? 

[Block41 Saint]

Shocking goalkeeping. 

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Oh pants!!!!1

[adrian lord]

FFS

[OttawaSaint]

Cock!

[trousers]

Cocking cock balls

[Suhari]

Nuts.

[Lee On Solent Saint]

Oh well, play offs confirmed

[Saint NL]

Fucks sake

[BotleySaint]

And there it is. 1-1

[Saint Matty 76]

and this is why I will struggle to ever rate Bazunu

Haven't seen it, but I knew you weren't talking about the Watford keeper here.

[CSA96]

Fucking ballbags.

[obelisk]

You're joking. What a mess.
