Nice, we gotta put them away with 10 men

Said Mad Nathan v Wolves!!

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Nice and direct run and pass thorugh the middle. Making them have to work, rather than passing it for small margins.

[Saint Fan CaM]

Just get Edozie running at them - they’ll be shitting it!

[tdmickey3]

Must get 2nd soon

Make the most of it... We'll be back to the default version of Russ-ball for the next 5 games if we win this... #banter

Aw man, my stream froze. What happened for the red card?

[Saint Fan CaM]

Fraser on for?

Their bloke kicked the ball away and got a second yellow

Fucking hell, even Deano on comms is saying it’s going to be more difficult for us now 

Where has this utterly ridiculous notion come from that playing with an extra man is a disadvantage? It gets said a lot, it’s fucking stupid 

[Saint NL]

Edozie is killing them

The ref took the red card, and then held it in the air in front of the player who was adjudged to have earned it.

[trousers]

If Edozie had a final pass on him he'd be world class...

Because Saints are so bad it it. Boro managed to draw with us with 9 men and Newcastle beat us with 9 once.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Well, they got a ball through and a shot away.

It should be, but when was the last time we won against 10 men?

[trousers]

So, sweepstake on the Blackburn equaliser then... 78 minutes for me please 

[Saint NL]

2-0

[AlexLaw76]

That was very good. 
2-0

game over 

[OttawaSaint]

Stuuuuuuuu!

[Saint Fan CaM]

Get in Stuey!!!

Bosh.

Let's get a couple more.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Stu!!!!!

Patient MartinBall pays off.

They'll need 2 now. I'll go for 83 then.

[Bad Wolf]

Stephens coming on!

[AlexLaw76]

Can see Russ was delighted with Edozie as he went off.

Stephens back on the pitch!!!

[trousers]

Jack Stephens back on the pitch 

[obelisk]

Not a fan of 3 subs at once but at least we have a two goal lead for a change.

[Saint Fan CaM]

Here we go - Russ uses a feel good moment to get Jack Stephens on the pitch. Twat.

[Saint_Ash]

Coventry equalise against Leeds. 

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Fraser for Edozie

Stephens for THB

Charles for Downes

[Saint NL]

Dumb from smallbone

[Sheaf Saint]

I'm never comfortable with triple subs cos more often than not they just disrupt the balance of the team. But surely with a 2-0 lead against 10 men we can't fuck this up, can we?

Good to see Stephens back.

[OttawaSaint]

Bournemouth game suspended after Luton's Tom Lockyear collapsed on pitch.

Related to his previous issues, or is it a different injury?

[Totton Saint]

What stream is Ottowa Saint using.  Such shame Ihave not been able to watch

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Decent ball across, needing one of our layers to get on the end of it.

[OttawaSaint]

Not sure. That's all I've heard for now.

Heard now he just collapsed. Second time this year I think.

Just saw "collapsed off the ball" 😞

[Saint NL]

Players are high on confidence, people are queuing up to shoot.... Is that the issue? 

[Dr Who?]

Off he goes again!

Shoooooot!

[Sunglasses Ron]

Tom Lockyer is "alert and responsive" in the tunnel. 

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Alcaraz for Stu
Mara for AA

[HKsaint]

Stu got punished for scoring the 2nd goal? It’s not RM’s  plan.

Stu's best game for us in a very long time, probably since before he had Covid that seemed to knock the stuffing out of him.

MOTM for me.

[obelisk]

Blackburn looking more adventurous with 10 men.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Alcaraz beats four players.
