[Galway saint]

totally demolished them 

[Verwood Saint]

He’s the same every game with us - must have really upset him in the past!

[obelisk]

Not sure I'd be taking Stu off yet.

[Saint NL]

Rothwell and sulemana on

Stu and mara off

Stu is my MoM....no matter what happens now

[adrian lord]

It was never a penalty anyway. Ball fired at arm, held in natural position, if anything player trying to retract it from the path of the ball. Never deliberate.

He must be fucking knackered after the shift he's put in this week.

 

Sulemana needs to put in a performance. Been really poor since coming back.

[OttawaSaint]

Hmm. Sule will need to track back though.

Edit: seems he's playing up top.

Yep, easily. Great to see him back at the top of his game again

[SNSUN]

WBA have had their moments such as that last 15 mins in the first half but they've been blunt up front. We haven't exactly been brilliant but a couple of bits of class have shone through. If we get play-offs I wouldn't them being the team we face over two legs.

[trousers]

Smallbone playing well again now that he's got a midfield enforcer playing alongside him 

[OttawaSaint]

So, about 15 left then...

[Holmes_and_Watson]

interesting Subs. Mixes things around.

Aribo in with another strong challenge. Instant difference tonight, just like the games before AFCON. Welcome back!

[Harry_SFC]

Aribo has been very very good since coming on. The subs have changed the game for us in the second half.

Yeah I've noticed that. I thought it was Don Goodman though.

And he needs that. not a DM or an AM by himself.

[Galway saint]

for anyone who doubted what a good team then is…

The turn around that has happened with Aribo is a very good bit work by RM

[trousers]

Why did Sulemana stop and turn around then? Plenty of space to run into 

[Lighthouse]

Soooo good at taking the sting out of this game.

[Saint NL]

Ole football from the samba saints

They've probably been told to keep possession and waste as much time as possible. 

[trousers]

Have WBA touched the bell in the last 3 minutes...?

Might have been instructed to time waste a Bit as we're winning? But yeah I did feel a Boufal situation could have occurred had he kept going.

[6ft8saint]

Is the game in hand hull City as that was the game which was rearranged for Watford cup game. But commentators say this is it????

Yeah, had that vibe about it until he screeched to a halt!

Welcome clean sheet

They're wrong, it is the Hull game that's in hand 

[Sunglasses Ron]

So is a turn around a good or bad thing? I’m confused!!!

[obelisk]

5 minutes to play out.

[trousers]

Stu official MotM. 

[Lighthouse]

Daft from Sully, he had plenty of easy passes on.

Yeah the morons are forgetting the other sides are still going to play this weekend.

[obelisk]

Sully's playing his own game.

[Bad Wolf]

Sully is awful isn't he?

[John Boy Saint]

What is the point of Sulemana - got acres of Smethick to run into effin stops to get into trouble

[BotleySaint]

I think Sulemana actually lacks the ability to run with and keep the ball. He either falls over or stops, every single time.

Sulemana repeatedly beating the player then just stopping with plenty of options

Don’t get the hype at all. I don’t know what he offers. 

[trousers]

Class from Aribo there! (Until the final ball)

[Sheaf Saint]

Home fans are quiet aren't they.

[SNSUN]

Perfect response this to Tuesday. If you'd offered me 3 points from this and the BC game I wouldn't have been disappointed. This was the game I was worried about but we've been very professional.

[Saint_clark]

Sulemana looks like he's downing tools in protest.
