Saints 4-2 Sunderland - Match Thread

[Toadhall Saint]

We should be 3 up

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Defender's leg just gets across Adams, or that would have been 2

It's coming...

Armstrong with a shocking attempt

He's reasonably decent at this level but if we somehow get promoted he'll need to go elsewhere.

[SaintStinger]

We're all over these. If we don't finish with 3 points today it will be a real disappointment.

[Chez]

AA should be burying that. He's looked sharp, but a striker should be scoring those. It's hard to criticise a guy with so many goals, but in the Prem that might be your best/only chance and he's just not clinical enough. Sunderland are literally handing us these chances on a plate.

[Saint NL]

Have we paid off their CB?

He's trying his best to gift us a goal or two 

[Holmes_and_Watson]

AA going for goal. We had runners around him.

[adrian lord]

I hope we don't end up rueing these missed opportunities. 

[obelisk]

Saints decision making in the final third is woeful. Should be out of sight already.

[AlexLaw76]

We have to put these away, very much there for the taking

And this week's award for first person to say "rue" with a Saints 1-0 lead is... 🙂

Agree he can't cut it in the premier league but how can you ditch players that helped get you promoted? (if it miraculously happened) he would be owed another shot 

[Saint Fan CaM]

Baz gifting them possession on many occasions - thank goodness they look totally inept at taking advantage.

He'd not be going. He's very much at the heart of Martin's system.

But is there room for sentiment when players who excel will leave in a flash for a bigger club? Last time around Billy Sharp helped get us up but then wasn't kept around.

Crumbs! Did Manning pass that to them right in front of Baz?

[Saint NL]

Defensively, we are still a shambles but just about survived

Twice 😂

[Holmes_and_Watson]

They'll be disapointed with that offside. They had lots of time there.

[Saint Fan CaM]

Oh FFS Manning - leaving us exposed once again. Jeez he really is a useless defender. Not. A. Clue!

[Saint Matty 76]

Leicester 1-1 sadly

[obelisk]

Comical defending from Saints. Complacency setting in.

When you Break up a solid centre back partnership for no reason that’s what happens 

[Saint NL]

Nasty tackle on brooks, another yellow for them

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Another yellow for them

Speed Merchant Will (just let that sink in) gets to the ball first, and get it across where they foul Brooks (I think)

 

[stknowle]

That’s a sending off with VAR

Fucking insanity from the stubborn git.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Stephens passes to Adams on the floor. His previous pass was practically a no look one to Baz. Good he's so confident. But there has been occassions where it goes a bit wrong...

 

[AlexLaw76]

Giving the ball away at the back, poor defending....

Not sure we have played particularly well, against a terrible 11 in front of us

 

[Holmes_and_Watson]

It's quietened down a bit. It looks as though there's only so long we can kjeep up that kind of pressure.

Not to many problems from them though, even with Manning helping.

[Saint NL]

Commentator said that Saint Marys is becoming a fortress again...

I'm pretty sure we've lost our last two home games 👋

[Saint NL]

Penalty for saints

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Pen!

[OttawaSaint]

Penalty Saints!

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Yeah a clear one. Manning wins it for us.

[Saint Fan CaM]

Pen for Saints - here we go.

[adrian lord]

Red card surely?

[Saint NL]

Scored 2-0

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Yeeeesss!!!!

[OttawaSaint]

Boooom! 2-0!

No, he means you literally can’t get in, the fire brigade have closed off the access roads.

[Saint NL]

Armstrong ran over to the Sunderland fans and gave it some Geordie banter 😂

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Slipped too. But that's why he's a goal machine. Doesn;t let that stop him 🙂 

[OttawaSaint]

Phew he slipped and it was very close to the keeper but it's in. 2-0.

[obelisk]

Tried to give the 'keeper a chance from the pen but he still managed to score. 😇

[AlexLaw76]

Game Over!

[Saint Matty 76]

Come on let's put 5 past them

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Dean Hammond now a first team coach at Worthing.

double touch shouldnt have counted
