Saints 2-1 Plymouth - Match Thread

[Saint_clark]

Get Charles off for Armstrong or Aribo please.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Smalbone in a solid shooting position. But he was always covered. Could have done with AA on stilts to get on the end of that header.

[adrian lord]

Argyle parking the bus and hoping for breaks. Done well at the first part of their plan thus far. 

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Bednarek capable and composed. Having that solid foundation with THB makes such a difference to how much we can push up confidently.

[Lighthouse]

Looking a bit like Rotherham, first 10 minutes looked like it could be a cricket score but we’ve run out of ideas in the final third.

[Mr X]

God frustrating that we've dominated for the most part and they've held firm 

[macca155]

Edwards is having none of Edoxie's shit today is he.

Marking tight and taking no chances, Saints need to find another outlet.

[saintant]

When we turn the ball over we need to be going at them quicker.

[BotleySaint]

Loads of space out there but we lack conviction.

Perfect for Plymouth so far.

Edozie needs to cut inside. Edwards is defending the outside well but not the other way

[Holmes_and_Watson]

They are even more compact now. A little foray to test our gap on the flank. AA is, if  anything, too far back. we need a clone of him to be in a forward position too.

[obelisk]

This walking football in attacking areas won't break them down. We can't always wait until the last few minutes for goals. Need to pick up the pace.

[adrian lord]

Russell needs to change the tactics slightly at 1/2 time if it remains 0-0. 

[Saint NL]

Offside again, but was he?

[disconnect]

Stream down

[The Kraken]

Fuck off Sunak you cunt. Should ban him.

[BotleySaint]

Offside. But he should have shot!

[Saint Fan CaM]

Lino is getting a lot of off side decisions very wrong. Tosser.

[Viking Saint]

My stream just died, anyone got one please?

[obelisk]

How the hell does Smallbone manage to get himself booked?

[SNSUN]

Smallbone booked. 

[benjii]

Trigger happy lino.

[RedArmy]

Alcaraz is far too selfish in and around the box. Even if the rebound comes straight back to him his first thought is hit it again rather than find a better option. 

[adrian lord]

Lino is a touch flag-happy?

[Mr X]

They've got us frustrated 

[SNSUN]

Come on Saints! Quick one before HT?

[coalman]

Going to be hard to break them down with this line-o

[obelisk]

What's the betting that lino misses offsides in the 2nd half?

[Holmes_and_Watson]

KWP does really well. Smallbone in the correct position. But that final ball didn;t have enough pace on it. It's, again, that final ball, Sometimes feeling it's enough to get it into the right area, without quite getting the pace, accuracy quite right.

Another very tight offside there.

Smallbone picking up Charles' obligatory yellow card.

[Saint NL]

Well done Edozie, good tracking back

[SNSUN]

Should have been a foul ffs ref

 

Brilliant from Edozie back tracking 

[Saint Fan CaM]

If only we had a decent corner taker. Edozie saves Mannings blushes.

[FarehamSaintJames]

Sunak - get out. Bellend.

Smallbone booked, pulling back a player. Sun him off at HT.

Bednarek and THB playing very well, so calm and composed.

[BotleySaint]

They should have scored there.

Defence got back just in time!

[OttawaSaint]

What a tackle Edozie!

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Adams right there on the back post for a tap in. Couldn;t reach him.

 

[Saint_clark]

Ref you fucking cunt!!!

[SNSUN]

Great block Che. Plymouth starting to fancy this.

[Suhari]

Take a bow Fandab.

Great tracking back and tackling.

[obelisk]

Why the hell aren't Saints leaving a man upfield when defending a corner?

[Lighthouse]

I think that block was one of Che Adams’ best shots on target.

[Saint NL]

Manning is a clown

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Edozie gets back for the challenge. Well done, as earlier in the season, he left his player on occassion. Pacy and we needed that, as we've taken a couple of breakaway chances at the back tonight.

[Mr X]

Edozie stops a goal there I feel 

[bpsaint]

Aribo and Fraser to unlock this game second half I think.

[coalman]

Ref ignored a blatant trip on the edge of their box. Great tracking back from Edozie - that's another thing he's really improved with this season.

Does my nut in, that one. Has done for years.

[obelisk]

Saints likely to be down to 10 men at this rate.

[adrian lord]

This is turning out to be an awkward mission. 

[saintant]

They've got our number at the moment.
