Saints 1-2 Millwall - Match Thread

[OttawaSaint]

We ain't catching Leeds and Leicester (and maybe even Ipswich). These players and manager don't have the brass balls for the playoffs. We'll almost certainly be in this league again next season. 

Oh well, was fun while it lasted.

You talk as though everyone is calling for the manager's head when, in fact, it's a very small percentage.

[obelisk]

Just cross the thing.

Yes, multiple people. Read the last 3 pages. 

[adrian lord]

No one, except in jest, has called for Martin's head today. 

[Holmes_and_Watson]

A minute later it's the opposite. Edozie revertign to his tricks that don;t come off, rather than get the ball in there, where there were bodies waiting.

[Mr X]

Overcomplicating stuff when we get anywhere near goal! 

[vectraman]

Stephen’s with the touch of a Sunday league player there - should have been scoring 😱

2 people.....right!!!!

[Suhari]

AArma and Rothwell on.

Che and Aribo off.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

AA and Rothwell on for Adams and Aribo.

[washsaint]

Very strange subs.....

[Mr X]

Poor poor showing from saints these last couple.of games..... Guess it was over due! 

[Saint NL]

AA and Rothwell on.

Let's hope for another Rothwell banger I guess

[captainchris]

Rothwell…… Wtaf

Not sure we have an alternative. No 'fox in the box' nor targetmen.

Think this weakens us but let's see.

[Saint Fan CaM]

Oh fook. AA on for Che and Aribo gives way to Rothwell. Positionally we’re all over the place.

TBF I’ve enjoyed this season, come what may, more than I did the last few in the PL. People shouldn’t kid themselves that if we went up we’d be another Shef Utd or Burnley and likewise we’ll lose players whether we go up or not. We compete in this league and it’s survival in the PL - I know what gives me more of a buzz (mostly) on a Saturday afternoon.

[Saint NL]

Hammond cracks me up.

His solution to this performance is to ask more of the players. Can you sprint instead of jogging he asks? 😂

[Harry_SFC]

Martin has lost the plot

Team of son-in-laws isn't it?!?

[saintant]

The clock is ticking. We need a goal soon.

[Suhari]

Fans sound amazing!

Keep it up guys.

We're not going to be holding up the ball to bring others in. Hoping for pace and trickery (and a cut back to AA)

So you can read AND count - you've surprised me based on your posting history 🤣

[obelisk]

Another attack crumbles into dust.

[Mr X]

We simply had to win today

Over 95% of this forum voted to sack him earlier in the season...

Yep. Confidence in a comeback and win is ebbing away.

Thats the Millwall massive.

[saintant]

Are we battering them yet because we should be.

[Block41 Saint]

Creating fuck all. Pedestrian football. 

[obelisk]

Another attack. Another goal kick.

[SonicBoom]

Clinton Morrison on sky just sad we are 'very predictable and not really good enough. But then that's Russell Martins style'. 

Ouch! Bit harsh...

Be interesting to see what the close season vote will be in May.

[washsaint]

Very disappointing last few games (WBA apart).  Seem to have lost our mojo and really disappointed Meghoma, SAA and Dibling are seemingly not going to get a look in.

We look devoid of ideas and completely toothless up front.

[Saint Fan CaM]

We’ll be losing this game. Just so predictable in every move forward even the Millwall thugs can stroll to a win.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Hammond saying that on the occassion that the momentum is with the team, having been out there, that you have to go for the kill. That you don;t need to hold onto the ball quite as much. This really isn;t the way Martin has ever set out to play. Going for the kill, opens you up to losing it and conceding. It's Plan A, all the way. Which has had it's strengths, and as we've seen those lows, where we allow teams back in, or pass it around and struggle to get that momentum back.

[Saint86]

So so easy this, for a side at the bottom of the table ffs.

He's clearly been reading the threads where I called him a rubbish commentator. Bitter 🙂

[saintant]

Feels as though we've reverted back to September form.

[Saint NL]

Games gone flat.

Sulemana to come on and do something?

[Mr X]

Hard to think of a team in this league that passes sideways and backwards as much as us

I'd say it's pretty accurate sadly....

[Block41 Saint]

Rothwell misses a sitter.

Yep.

Have the wheels come of for us, or have we been found out?

Either way: we're not making it hard for the opposition lately.

[saintant]

Have the subs improved us?
