Coventry 1-1 Saints - Match Thread

Hammond saying that watching Saints this season "is exciting" 🤔

[SNSUN]

Dear Santa, I've been really, really good all year and stopped drinking a can of Monster per day because it was making my pee smell. Please could you give Saints a new striker for Christmas. I don't mind if the delivery isn't until January, I'll wait.

Yours sincerely, SNSUN.

P.S. I also want some Thomas the Tank pyjamas and a Tamagotchi. Ta.

AA could have had a hattrick tonight ffs

Imagine if we had a striker that wasn’t cack 

[Sheaf Saint]

How's that not a yellow for the Cov player who's down? Awful late challenge on Manning.

Gaps opening up though boys. Coventry are starting to spread their legs.

 

[BotleySaint]

We have improved with the wingers on the pitch. But we can't afford to just sit back now and go for the draw.

[Harry_SFC]

A.Armstrkng has been terrible in front of goal tonight.

[sfc4prem]

What a pass by Will

[BotleySaint]

Expert pass?? It was too hard.

[GrumpyYorkshireSaint]

Nice to see the cov players concern for their crippled team mate. Let's see who can dribble past the ref and do tricks.

After the opening game of the season I was really looking forward to listening to Deano on comms every week but fuck me it’s embarrassingly pro-saints, even when we’re shit.

Wee man last minute special! 

[JohnS]

What has Russell Martin improved with this squad???

Before Martin:-
We were already a team good with possession & Tippy Tappy, Backwards/Sidewards play

Defensively, we were always good for a mistake - still are - same culprits - could argue keeper is now worse!

Attack - (excl Ings time) we struggled in final 3rd & think we actually create less now, no direct penetration & are more clueless with what to do

Really predictable - Really Slow 

All this in a lower league with what could be argued better players for this league 

For me, week in week out - I don’t see any clear signs of improvement / change & Russell Martin has got to be held accountable 

Most of the teams we’ve played in this league have been poor & we’ve been lucky with most of our results 

 

[BotleySaint]

Smallbone blind pass. Idiot.

[Block41 Saint]

Stop giving the ball away in dangerous positions ffs.

And New Orleans Saints.

[skintsaint]

we are our own worst enemies giving the ball away.

[saintant]

Lucky boy Smallbone.

[Sheaf Saint]

Deary me, Manning let Sakamoto go past him sooooo easily.

[BotleySaint]

Aribo got the ball?

[trousers]

Coventry winner looking more likely 

[adrian lord]

This is not the last 5 minutes we were looking for. 

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Smallbone going for a sideways pass gives it away. Manning not able to keep up and we're back defending. There's been a deadline that tonight.

[sfc4prem]

Good point away from home?

[Saint Fan CaM]

Here we go.

[skintsaint]

100mph free kick, wtf the commentator on.

[Suhari]

Smallbone is struggling to get up.

[sfc4prem]

Painful for Smallbone.

[Saint NL]

Gonna be a lot of stoppage time

#Scartissue.

[GrumpyYorkshireSaint]

Ouch

[BotleySaint]

Mara on. That means goals goals goals!

[skintsaint]

Need a goal, take off AA. GG.

[Saint NL]

Mara and Alcarez now?

Wtf

[sfc4prem]

Armstrong shite in front of goal, not his night tonight.

[Harry_SFC]

As we are now looking to consolidate our position in the play offs it's a half decent point. Given up on autos now.

[igsey]

Mara and Alcaraz on, A.Armstrong and Smallbone off. Aribo will play the full 90 (!!).

[Saint86]

Alcaraz on with 5min to go? Really? Has he fallen out with Martin or something.... Stu has been poor most of the game and looked knackered throughout. Let alone Aribo...

[Lee On Solent Saint]

Mara. What's the fuckin point on bringing him on?

[trousers]

Throwing on the big guns with 1 minute of normal time to go...

[RedArmy]

Looks like we’ll need another stoppage time winner. 

[Sheaf Saint]

7 mins

If we were mid-table or where Leicester or Ipswich are then yes. As a team fighting to claw back points to keep pace with the top two, then not particularly. What will be annoying is all the back patting from keeping the unbeaten run going when really, we've not exactly set the world alight.

Aribo has been good tonight?

[Block41 Saint]

[skintsaint]
