Coventry 1-1 Saints - Match Thread

[GrumpyYorkshireSaint]

We have won and lost games in less extra time

[Saint Matty 76]

Had some decent cameos this season but absolutely shite today Aribo

[Block41 Saint]

Fine Alcaraz 4 weeks wages for that foul throw. 

[Saint NL]

That throw 😂

[skintsaint]

Saints foul throw lol

[Saint_clark]

You stupid stupid cunt Alcaraz. Fucking foul throw in that circumstance.

[skintsaint]

RM booked.

[Saint NL]

Another booking for Mr chill

fuck this passing around the back lark.

Better get used to it.

Martin picks up a card for being animated. Which is more animated than the side he's put out.

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.

I hope the club produce an "unbeaten run" t-shirt sooner rather than later... There was a t-shirt produced for the 12 hours we were top of the Premier League a couple of years ago, so surely this is a bigger feat worthy of commemoration?

Baz with the save.

[BotleySaint]

I thought that was 2-1 then... Save Bazunu.

[Saint NL]

Good save by bazunu

[skintsaint]

Only one winner here if a goal to be had. And it wont be us.

Was to his right hand side, luckily...

[Saint Fan CaM]

Worldly from Baz.

[igsey]

90+5', 1-1, defending a corner... why do we have everyone back in our own box? Surely leave Edozie and Fraser up the pitch?

[BotleySaint]

Why are we playing it back when we were on the break!!

Better get used to remaining in this league because of it.

[Suhari]

Pish.

[Block41 Saint]

Fair result imo. 

[sfc4prem]

Decent point.

[skintsaint]

FT 1-1

[Saint NL]

All over.

Yawn.

[StrangelyBrown]

RM is such a massive helmet. Of all the things to get booked for - moaning about a blatant foul throw.

He needs to take a good look at Russball that's something seriously worthy of frustration.

[Lighthouse]

Once again our plan to become the best Championship team ever, by winning every game 1-0, seems to have come unstuck.

[igsey]

Lots and lots of lessons that need to be learned from that.

[Mr X]

Alcarez has been dreadful this season 

[BotleySaint]

Fair result. Not good enough, but both teams could have won it despite all our possession.

[Wade Garrett]

Absolute dogshit.  Take your RussBall and stick it up your fucking arse you fucking boring cunt.

[Saint_clark]

Thank god we took those couple of extra passes at the end there instead of taking a chance and playing it down the line or through from deep.

[hypochondriac]

Draw away to Coventry isn't the worst result. It only sucks because we didn't beat Watford. 

[LGTL]

Really not good enough. We’re quickly becoming a solid Championship team, and that’s not a compliment. 

[sandwichsaint]

1-1, easiest bet £££s you'll ever make. 

[bpsaint]

Crap performance, crap result, and well and truly out of the automatic promotion race.

This “unbeaten” run is complete propaganda and makes it seem like we’ve been something special.

[Miltonaggro]

Insipid. Going to need to buy in the necessary cutting edge. Chop, chop Wilcox! 

[Patrick Bateman]

That was dreadful

[SotonianWill]

Another excellent passing round the back performance. May need to inform the players we do also need to get the ball in the other goal. 

[AlexLaw76]

That game perfectly demonstrates (nearly) everything why Top 2 was gone before the start of Nov, and why we probably will remain in this league.

Risk averse football for long periods, miss decent chances, play a style that does not suit forward players, Ryan Manning, can't keep a clean sheet.

 

Russell Martin's propaganda football!!!

It doesn't matter under Martin. You could have Haaland up there and we'd never pass to him.

[Saint Fan CaM]

Well it’s a point and extends the unbeaten run, but we made that horrendously hard for ourselves. Sorry - correction - Russell made that hard for us in his selection. Only redeeming factor is he didn’t have Downes available and that upsets the midfield significantly.

[Jonnyboy]

Well done Bazunu at the end. Point gained on Leeds.

 

[gammon cheeks]

Not good enough to win ...again!

[Saint Scott]

Lots of poor performances, mainly Manning who was consistently sloppy as was Stu. Aribo non existent and Arma couldn't hit a barn door tonight. He should of comfortably had 2 if not 3 and would of been a comfortable evening's work despite not being our best

[trousers]

Dean Hammond: "Get a win at the weekend then that's 8 points from 4 games...2 points a game...and that's usually enough to get you promoted"

Erm, maybe have a look at the table some time this season Deano...

Jo Tessem said it best on commentary: “All we do is pass sideways”.

Not much good when your 9 point cushion to 7th is cut to 6 points

[Sheaf Saint]

Another hugely frustrating game that was there for the taking.

Far too slow and ponderous in our attacking build up, as usual. When we did create chances, AA had an off-night.

We miss Downes. Midfield looks much less organised without him.

I can't for the life of me work out why Bree was dropped for Manning, who is a very poor defender.

 

[LGTL]

11 wins from 21, with our budget, is diabolical. We could have a 46 game unbeaten run if we draw every game but what’s the fucking point.
