Saints 4-2 Sunderland - Match Thread

[OttawaSaint]

Alright. Can Sule actually produce here? Would love to see him ignite.

[Chez]

what the hell has happened t Sunderland since they thumped us. They looked a very good side that day. Pressed us, didn't give us a second on the ball and Tore us apart.  Their approach today is the polar opposite. Perfect for us.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

AA was getting space out left, so hopefully there's plenty for Sule to take advantage of... and he does. Just couldn;t get the final ball in. Waited before getting it over.

So if Leicester draw today, Leeds can go top next week with a home win against Millwall.

Imagine if Leicester didn't get in the automatic spots, it'd have to go down as one of the biggest bottle jobs ever.

And the EFL P&S rules kick in with a points deduction for the following season…

Mowbray knew Martin's system and dismantled it. They decided he wasn;t good enough a manager for them.

They sacked Tony Mowbray and have been terrible since

[Saint NL]

Stephens lucky there's looked like he elbowed the defender in the face

Straight away Sulemena makes something happen beating two men and getting a corner. Or, if you don't fancy him, Sulemana shows his pace but no end product.

Stephens gets a red with VAR

But there is no VAR so why always looking for the negative?

If Sully could kick with his left foot he’d be a footballer.

[Saint Matty 76]

2-1 Hull! Come on

in short, it was a red card offence, and the lino/ref should have sent him off....

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Yup, we're looking to use Sule. Good to see. Because as he hopefully learns what to do with it, the rest can learn the weight of passes to give him the best chance.

[Lee On Solent Saint]

Fuck me. Why do we do this?

[Saint NL]

2-1, christ

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Bah!

[OttawaSaint]

Here we go...

[Suhari]

Nuts.

[tdmickey3]

Here we go..... Ffs

Its been a bit of a mess 2nd half

Be 2 all soon

Sulemana is a luxury we don't need 

[Suhari]

Cheeky insurance bet, anyone?

Peace and love.

[obelisk]

Ludicrous from Saints.

Because Russell-ball is a knob

[hypochondriac]

Goal from nothing that. 

[coalman]

There's Sulemana's end product 

[Saint NL]

The most saintsy goal to concede, Manning doing whatever it is he does, and then a deflection

[washsaint]

The subs by Martin were uncalled for and disrupted Saints.  Sulemana showing we were robbed for the fee we paid.

This is not a good performance - no way should Saints be going up this year.  We would be destroyed next season.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Manning and Sule choosing to fall over rahter than get it clear. Allowing them the shot which is past Baz.

I predicted 3-1, so I'm not worried. Looking forward to the third.

[Saint Fan CaM]

Ref helping them - two fouls ignored. We’re gonna fuck this up now. Sulemana and Manning together is a defensive calamity waiting to happen!

[OttawaSaint]

That'll liven up the last 30+ minutes. Will we be "ruing" a whole host of missed chances later?

Sunderland are woeful, which of course means Saints will gift them some goals ... need to keep scoring. 8-0 please.

hmmmmm

[Holmes_and_Watson]

another yellow for them for blocking the freekick. hopefully one of them will pick up a second.

On XG maybe 😂

[Chez]

Manning and Sulemena both trying to  carry the ball out of danger, but both failed to clear the lines.  

[Saint Matty 76]

Another piss poor opposition display we're making nervous for no fault rather than our own

[stknowle]

We can’t can we? Surely.

[OttawaSaint]

RM signals "job done" with the subs. Players ease up...Sunderland back in it...

[Saint NL]

Wow, this is a complete balls up

[obelisk]

As I said earlier, Saints will need at least three to win this.

Such a shit footballer. Root cause of all our shitness. And Russell loves him. Go figure. 

[Mr X]

Jesus we've fallen apart can't see us not conceding another 

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Their 14 wasn;t far from getting on the edn of that deep ball in.

Baz nearly gifts them a good chance. Shot from a tight angle as THB keeps it right. He's not happy at the change of momentum since the subs.

I'd take a stick to them if we do...

Yes a poor sub. Edozie would make much more sense..
