Watford 1-1 Saints - Match Thread

[The Juice]

Baz had a great game... but that was shit from him 

[Suhari]

That's a Baz mistake.

[BotleySaint]

Where was Bazunu? 

[OttawaSaint]

Not getting a second comes back to bite us again. Ugh!

Setting it up lovely for a stoppage time equaliser here.

Yep

[The Kraken]

After all that Baz has a blunder.

[Bad Wolf]

I'd have taken a draw...

[Saint NL]

Bazunu has been superb all afternoon but that's a clanger

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Direct down the middle. Bedders loses out on the header. The shot seems to go under Baz.

Aaaarrrgh. Typical, they found his secret weakness....shot stopping.

Can I just say, I think we have a world-class goal keeper....  Every month he's showing greater skills, greater confidence. V v excited we have him.

 

Ooops!

[RedArmy]

All those great saves and he lets that one in. FFS

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

Let's face it, it's a SHIT plan...

FFS that was coming one nil always dangerous

...We seriously blaming him for that?

[Sheaf Saint]

Baz has been improving but clearly still has howlers in him. No way that should have gone past him.

[saintant]

You see this is what happens when somebody describes our keeper as world class. Inevitable.

[Disco Stu]

We lack bottle. Not quite as good as the top 3 as we always leave our opponents in the game. Leicester, Ipswich and Leeds regularly kill games off. What we do isn't sustainable.

[Bad Wolf]

LOL Bazunu seriously being blamed for that?! Nothing to do with the CB who got outjumped without even trying then...

[macca155]

Goal keeper howler very irritating but he's kept us in this game.

Really should have buried this game earlier on.

Plus we've been kicked off the park today.

[trousers]

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why we're not getting automatic promotion this season...

[obelisk]

Another 2 points thrown away.

[OttawaSaint]

Fucking chokers again.

We will probably get playoffs but we don't have the balls to win those. Weak minded twats.

Thank goodness for that. Does anyone actually want promotion?

Yes a mistake

The Russell Martin way. Despite 12 unbeaten or whatever it is, I struggle to remember a game we’ve actually dominated and created lots of chances and clearly shown we’re the better team. Winning the possession stat won’t ultimately get us enough points for automatic promotion.

[The Kraken]

Just now, Bad Wolf said:

...We seriously blaming him for that?

Who is we?

I am. Dean Hammond on comms is. Bazunu himself looked like he thought he’d fucked it. You do what you want though.

[CB Fry]

Well if Stuart Armstrong had spent even fucking longer strolling off to the far side of the pitch, who knows we could have lost 1-2.

[CSA96]

FT: Watford 1-1 Saints

[northam soul]

Ffs, that is terrible.

Ffs, FfS did I say Ffsake

[NewYorkSaint]

To be fair... That's probably a fair result.  We had the ball, they had the slightly better chances.

[Sheaf Saint]

Just now, Bad Wolf said:

...We seriously blaming him for that?

Absolutely, yes. An under-powered shot from the edge of the area that's nowhere near the bottom corner. That should be a routine save every single time.

[Sunglasses Ron]

What a shame, proper kick in the nuts that.

[Block41 Saint]

Thrown 2 points away there. Watford were shite. 

[Mr X]

Criminal we seemed content to sit back on a one nil 

[Bad Wolf]

Nothing to do with the dreadful defending when our player (whoever it was) got outjumped for the knock on?

[adrian lord]

So very frustrating.

We weren't even before that equaliser. A draw is ok and keeps the run going. We're not catching Leicester or Ipswich.

[Killers Knee]

Denied 3 points by Blunder Baz.  Lad has problems staying awake after 90 mins.

[Saint86]

Blame absolutely on the mananger for another poor performance. The goal is automatic promotion, and be expects to win every game 1-0 with a perfect defence where the opposition never score. Has to be pushing on and getting a 2nd... We just aren't doing enough and a these dropped points will cost us.

Russell Martin seemingly doesn't...

Bambi Bednarek...who else?

[obelisk]

If you want promotion from this league you do not throw games away with stupid mistakes right at the end. We might make the play-offs but expect similar disappointment there too.

Both are to blame. 

[Chris cooper]

Ffs 

[CB Fry]

Leicester do their bit.

Ipswich do their bit.

Leeds do their bit.

We are absolutely no way getting top two.

If only we had a calmer, more experienced head who knew how to stay focussed to the final whistle. 

[Totton Saint]

Heart breaking.  On edge all game  for nothing

As Hammond rightly said on comms…..two errors there, the defender and goalkeeper.
