SAA n Ed’s to be careful - looking at a second yellow the way he’s going.

Safety would suggest he'll be one of those subbed.

Meanwhile, we give it away casually. Holgate this time.  A little rocket required here to get full control back here.

[OttawaSaint]

FFS Holgate!

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Nice form Alcaraz, but Smallbone this time trying something smart. Agian, considering his position he should be making somehting of that himself.

Meanwhile, they get a ball across our box behind the defence, but ahead of their attack.

[Jack]

RussBall does not work when you’ve got very limited players. Every week the fannying around and the back gets us in trouble for zero gain. Does my head in 

[Toussaint]

Very one paced and casual , it’s hard to break out of that mindset once it has set in during a game.

 

[OttawaSaint]

Good sportsmanship, we are really encouraging the other team.

"Like Plymouth Argyle game, the 2nd goal took a long time to come"

eeer, you what?

[Saint NL]

If Holgate screws up and we concede, then we'll have a replay and Holgate will get another start.

So it's in his interest to play badly.....? 🤔

[Bad Wolf]

Pompey go 1-0 up and 2-1 down in the space of 2 minutes

Maybe he's used to coming quicky...

[Toussaint]

Is Mara ever going to make it? I really doubt it

[Bad Wolf]

Mara off
Adams on

SAA off
Dibling on

Please

[Saint Fan CaM]

Mara also having an absolute mare - showing no quality whatsoever.

[AlexLaw76]

Mara = 😅

[Sheaf Saint]

Pompey losing away at Cheltenham now after taking the lead early in 2nd half.

In a country where he'll have more time to look up and think about it, yes.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Twice we've tried little dummies to noone.

Alcaraz's pass didn;t get angled for Mara to get on the end of it.

We've created all of a single effort I think this half. Subs can;t be far off 60mins.

[gammon cheeks]

Mara is so bad ...get him out on loan or something

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Fraser lively and gets a ball in. But Smallbone's flick would have had to have been something special from that angle, and it comes to nothing. Better to have got it in there, for Mara.

[Saint NL]

Mara goal, never doubted him 😂

Lovey finish.

Me neither 😬

Mara finally scores...he needed that!

Please be on stand by on Saturday to do this then.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

And there we go... gettting it into Mara. We had a bit of space on the break. Fraser with a good run. Ball was behind Mara who did well, turned and blasted it in. Nice finish, and deserved. He's done okay today.

[Saint Fan CaM]

Mara is fucking quality! 😂😂😂

To be fair I’d score that without dropping my OAP card! 😂😂

[obelisk]

Mara ... at last. Never doubted his ability to score. 😁

[St. Ciervo]

Great pass from Alcaraz to start the move... Great finish from Mara. Lol.

Whoops

[Sheaf Saint]

Smallbone should have made it 3.

[Saint NL]

Smallbone nearly with the third.

Kept it down for a change

[SNSUN]

Mara my man. There's a player in there. 🖕😆

[OttawaSaint]

Ohhhh just wide from Willy.

[AlexLaw76]

Fraser is MoM already...

[adrian lord]

That Mara is going places.

Well the transfer window is open....

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Smallbone picking up pne of our favoured edge of box positions. Has to try and guide it, and it wasn;t far away. Nice to see us consistently picking up those positions.

Great ball from Alcaraz to Fraser?

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Smallbone giving us another person in their box a lot today. Able to play off Alcaraz and Mara, and is getting some chances. Definitely more of an option when Stephens is willing and able to control and drive from deep.

It was a "poor attitude" ball though. Doesn't count.

[Saint Matty 76]

Only SaintsWeb would spend their afternoon trying to get one-ups on which young players they don't like during a comfortable routine victory

I'm with you. 

[Bad Wolf]

How's that not a pen?!?!?

[Saint NL]

Walsall look done now the second goal went in.

Make some subs and give Dibling a few mins to show us what he can do.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Mara totally fell over there. I thought he'd got through though, by working away at controlling it.

Didn't see that. He's still having the worst individual game I've seen from a Saints player this season.
