[AlexLaw76]

Cannot lose this. They have offered little as an attacking threat.

Now watch us choke it

Commentator: "after a dominant first half a goal for saints would now be the icing on the cake" 

Erm, I'd suggest we actually finish baking the cake first...

*Now* we can start icing the f**Ker

[adrian lord]

Excellent

First time watching Saints?

[Osvaldorama]

Bree was a very good set piece taker for Luton btw. 
 

Love to see us actually do something from a set piece.

FFS, why would you say this? 

[SO16_Saint]

Just the 10 goals across the whole of the top 2 divisions at half time 

[Sheaf Saint]

I just really hope we don't try and sit on this lead now, cos that never works.

So far so good.

Nice to see some attacking intent. But, we've all seen how we fall asleep at half time, so this is far from over....

[Saint_clark]

Edozie is going to be a much better player by the end of this season. Really excited to see how good he can become.

11 - Argyle just scored

[obelisk]

Well I think we know that one goal isn't likely to be enough. Blackburn playing with such a high line that Saints should be looking to play over the top for runners. Too often the ball is missed for a safe sideways pass and the run is missed.

Are they playing with a high line!? From what I saw when we were on the attack, especially at the end there, they were dropping back into practically a back 9. Never seen anything like it.

Don’t really understand why he got dropped for Sulemana - offers everything he does and sends to have actually added an end product to his game

Looks very compressed to me. Saints preferring to play through the lines so far.

They are not playing with a high line, they are sitting everyone deep.

Smart analysis.

[Saint_Ash]

It would be interesting to see the forward pass stat as we look like we're are definitely looking forward more than the Coventry game. Big difference having Downes back. 

Ref is a bit of a prick. Hopefully he sees his mistake when Stu had his shirt pulled and gives us a soft pen.

[RedArmy]

I need a better IPTV provider. Mine has turned to shit the last few weeks. Just freezes every few minutes, comes up with the ifollow logo then goes back to the stream and keeps doing the same thing. 
 

I have to keep buying the video pass to watch the game it’s driving me nuts. 

[Saint Fan CaM]

Need to come out as we ended the first half - pushing for the 2nd. But we know that’s not going to happen…not with Russ ball…he’ll wait until they’ve clawed a goal out of nothing before releasing the brakes.

Why is Bree taking corners? He's solid defensively but can't cross to save his life.

I love reading back through the first half posts at half time for crackers like this.

[Saint Fan CaM]

Oh yeah - the yellow for Bree was completely unfounded…Ref having a shocker. Wasn’t he a Prem ref once? Got demoted?

[Saint Fan CaM]

Oh and our passing accuracy has gone up to over 90% - probably due to Manning being dropped!

[Bad Wolf]

HT whistle only just gone at Plymouth. Something bad must have happened. Either that or the Fourth Official is a bit of a joker.

It was the desired effect.

Bazunu can't keep clean sheets, AA can't score, Downes can't pass, Bednerak is too clumsy, we can't win games. 

Think I've covered everything there.

To be fair this is from a guy who claimed Alphonso Davies was the world best right back, so he doesn’t know an awful lot about full backs

Men versus boys at the moment, need this second goal

[Bad Wolf]

The stretch armstrong joke was one thing but did this commentator just call Sam Gallagher Blackburn's talisman?!

[OttawaSaint]

ArmA needed to just thump that one. 

[Holmes_and_Watson]

AA touch let him down there.

[AlexLaw76]

This is better 

attacking them at pace, moving their defenders all over the show

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Again, AA felt he needed that touch. First time across and that was an excellent chance.

[AlexLaw76]

What a ridiculous 2nd yellow to get

have to put them to the sword now

[Bad Wolf]

Red!

[Saint Fan CaM]

Brittain off - second yellow. 😂😂😂

[Saint NL]

Nice, we gotta put them away with 10 men

Oooh. down to 10.

Blackburn will be even more dangerous now.

- Nathan Jones school of tactics.

[The Kraken]

What an idiot.

[Saint Fan CaM]

Watch us cock this up now!

[Viking Saint]

Should be out of sight by now. Seen this happen too often....

Ah shit 10 men are stronger than 11 or something like that. Will end 2-1 to Blackburn.

[adrian lord]

I seen us struggle against 10 men too many times to get happy about it

[The Kraken]

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