Been tied up with other stuff... Just seen the latest score and the starting line-up... WTF was he thinking starting with that, the midfield in particular?! Just as I was starting to fall in love with him, literally... 

[Saint NL]

1 shot on goal all game. Very poor.

We've had 9 shots, what you talking about?

my fucking god is that shit baz. Lucky to get away with it. 

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Nice passage of play this. Both from Hull and ourselves. End to end with some excellent passing.

On target

[obelisk]

No natural finishers in the Saints attack. Everyone on their back foot.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Aribo had to stab his foot out to make contact with Manning's cutback. Nothing wrong with the pass, and our players should be prepared to run onto those sorts of passes.

Ah, well yes, but that's not a shot on goal.

But it is poor. 

[Scoobysaint]

Should have been Charles’s in from the start. Rothwell has cost us. Misses an absolute sitter to put us one up and then gifts them a goal. Hill have been good but different game if Rothwell scores.

[obelisk]

How the hell is that a free kick?

[Disco Stu]

That free-kick was a joke.

[obelisk]

Won't be wanting to meet this lot in the play-offs.

[Harry_SFC]

This second half has shown that if fit then Adams starts over Mara every day of the week 

[Lee On Solent Saint]

Kinda worrying if we all saw what a shitshow the starting midfield would be, and yet Martin couldn't. 

[Saint NL]

This is really poor.

We're not even putting them under any pressure. 

[Wade Garrett]

Fucking ridiculous team selection tonight.  Totally avoidable.

I never quite got why ROthwell went into the eleven so quickly. From all the huffing and puffing he was doing just to keep up with our fitness, to the systems he would supposedly have to learn that Martin got all the others doing.

Martin rally eased Fraser and later Aribo into the team. All very gradual. Rothwell, while showing good attacking skill, seemed to be an instant favourite.

Rothwell nowhere near good enough but he’s one of Martin’s ‘Babes’ 

Dreadful starting lineup tonight Martin…. 

[Saint NL]

Aribo 1-2

Ariiiboooooooo!

[Mr X]

A glimmer of hope 

[CB Fry]

Well done Aribo.

Still feels like the heartbreak of a 2-1 defeat though......

[davefizzy14]

Aribo! 🙂

[hypochondriac]

Bazunu 

Kwp THB bednarek Stephens 

Charles Smallbone 

Brooks Aribo Fraser 

Adams 

 

That was the starting 11 for me for this game. Rothwell is a nothing player with no defined role in our system.

Another player with a hipster beard

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Nice move with Fraser, Brooks, Adams and Aribo.

Imagine, our experienced attackers get a goal, Mr Martin.

[CB Fry]

I wish Dean Hammond would stop going on about "you just have to get that first goal" when the first goal was scored over an hour ago.

He just said saints have done the hard part, so getting the second goal is easy 🫣

we seem to have stepped it up. Need to create something.

[Saint86]

Great blocks by THB and Janny B there.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Some good blocking. Manning failed a bit there, thinking Aribo was going to make the tackle.

[CB Fry]

Hull have responded very well to the goal.

[obelisk]

6 minutes left. Just stop fannying around with it.

[Saint NL]

6 mins, that's loads of time to score 2 🤪

[Holmes_and_Watson]

6 mins!

COYR!

[Master Bates]

so easy to get round Manning to create those chances though. 

[Mr X]

Bazunu to sçore! 

[obelisk]

One point not enough anyway.

Would be a lot better than none though! 

[Chez]

Baz puts Manning under pressure. Our passing across the back four has been bad. We don't see able to cope with any sort of press/pressure at all.

Better than no points

[Saint Gifford]

Completely the wrong part of the season to be messing about.
 

We have had an unbelievable run fantastic, not sure if that’s the quality of this league, or the pedigree and experience of the Manager.

I suspect the former, as this league does have some garbage. 

 

 

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Aribo just not on the same wavelength as KWP there.

[Saint86]

Simply not good enough. Games like this is how promotion is thrown away.

[obelisk]

Saints with no idea in the final third.

[Saint NL]

All over.

Bullshit

[Block41 Saint]

FT. Piss poor performance. Manager got the starting lineup horribly wrong. 

[Mr X]

Sulemana such a waste of a lot of money
