Rotherham 0-2 Saints - Match Thread

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Brooks direct again. Nice pass to Mara more centrally. Mara does take a look, but gives it back. and Brooks shoots. Probably better for Mara to have done something, and he had another runner, but nice linking up.

[Saint NL]

Impressed by Brooks so far.

He just wants to run and shoot. Simple stuff, same as Fraser.

[Saint_Ash]

Ipswich making a fight of it now

[bangkoksaint]

Ipswich going to grab a point…….

[Osvaldorama]

KWP / Brooks on the right at championship level could be absolutely devastating

It's quite amazing how many good chances Saints manage to miss.

We might sign that clinical finisher in the next window.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Charles on for Stu. That would allow Smallbone to move up a little. Not much time left, but good to get those minutes in.

[Toadhall Saint]

Need Preston to hold on 3-2 now

[CSA96]

 

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Brooks just not enough pace on the pass to Rothwell there. Otherwise a lovely move. Smallbone with a super pass to start it off, and being him is right up there to be involved in the end of it.

EIEIO rings round the stadium

2 for Kiefer Moore

[adrian lord]

Come on PNE

[SaintBobby]

But disjointed this half. Like the look of Brooks though.

[Saint NL]

Sounds like a home game 😂

Was dismissed by some on here. Excellent player, would much rather him than Adams.

[Saint NL]

Good save Bazunu

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Marawatch: Mannign thumps it clear. Mara has the awareness to try and head it toward Brooks.

Elsewhere, Baz gets down to make a save. Keeps hold of it well, as it had a bit of pace.

[SNSUN]

A win is a win, damage done in the first half.

[Colinjb]

Good three points, all eyes on Deepdale.

[Block41 Saint]

Job done

[Saint NL]

All over.

A good win, rarely out of 2nd gear. Good work by their keeper kept the score down.

Great stuff

[sfc4prem]

Well, that was easy.

[saintant]

Comfortable win by the sounds of it and no real dramas. The unbeaten run continues and we roll on to the next one. Well done Saints and RM.

[obelisk]

Three points but made hard work of that. When's that clinical striker arriving?

[Maggie May]

One of the most comfortable performances I’ve seen from a Saints side in years. This side is head and shoulders above the one we had last season. 

Loved the commentary team, too.

[fez]

And Preston hang on 

[adrian lord]

Excellent day, especially given Ipswich losing

[Saint_Ash]

Another good result. Ipswich just lost. Nice.

[AlexLaw76]

I thought Leicester were not all that?

[The Cat]

Very easy win. Never in any trouble.

Our fans sounded great on the stream. Lots of noise. Fair play to everyone who went, hope they have a good trip back.

[saintant]

Ipswich currently on a very damaging run.

[kjurwi]

Brooks looks great. Brooks right wing and Arma up top next league game. Che looked bored and Stu had a bad game today.  

[Jimmy_D]

Get in! Great day!

They are, as are Ipswich, both very good sides.

[obelisk]

Doesn't look like we'll catch Leicester but a comfortable 2nd place will do.

[trousers]

A tad disappointed we didn't win more convincingly but it's another 3 points in the bag which is what matters most.

Stoke definitely aren't 🙂

[adrian lord]

I’d like to think that this is pretty much the table now through until the end of the season!

[davefizzy14]

Get in! Another victory and back upto second 😊 COYR 😊

Probably not but nothing much changed today as we both got 3 points.

[Long Shot]

In the pub near the ground. 1st half good second half sloppy. Be nice to be good for 90 mins like Leicester

Thinking the same thing - Brooks is going to be a big asset for the run in.      

[Turkish]

Home to Huddersfield next week should be another win, meanwhile Ipswich have a tough game v WBA. Might be able to put a bit of a gap between us and them

I'd prefer we save our energy for the run in. No need to waste it on the easier games.

We aren't comfortably in second place at the moment though

Saints fans superb today

Great post.
