Saints 1-1 Boro - Match Thread

[saintant]

Very dangerous phase of the game. Boro may as well throw caution to the wind whereas we probably don't know whether to stick or twist.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Nice pass from Brooks there. We're certianly creating chances.

They've had numerous break aways so we need to attack instead of being cautious especially with our record of defending in the later stages of games 

[FarehamSaintJames]

My prediction of 1-1 is looming.

Large domination amounts of domination followed by………

[Saint Fan CaM]

Smallbone really looking a bit slow and not bothered to beat the keeper to the ball there.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Ooooh... offside. But if Boro keep pushing up...

[Mr X]

Borough will go for it now they have to! 

[Saint Fan CaM]

Can see us conceding - not enough urgency from some key players. Cant see 1-0 being enough.

He's not super quick. I think it's his build that makes it look a bit slower too. He wasn;t powereing onto it as you'd expect form some others., but I'm not sure that's something he has.

[Saint NL]

Not confident we can keep this clean sheet for the next 13-15mins

Just what we're waiting for. That Fraser offside is just a taste of us picking them off when they push up. 🙂 

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Despite that finishing, I've thought we'd missed Adams a bit since he went off. Someone as a target, and to put pressure on their centre halfs more than AA can do. Sule also capable of pinning defences back as they worry about his pace. Also off.

[Saint NL]

What happened to Maras hair during the break? 😱

[coalman]

Mara's gone a bit Carlos Valderrama and I'm here for it.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

AA off for Mara.

Maybe to fill that role Adams was doing.

[Mr X]

Sulle did ok today better but still not convinced he has a football brain in the final third!

You got there seconds before me!

 

[Saint NL]

Big chorus of "you don't know what you're doing".

Was that for the ref?

[bpsaint]

Is that our fans chanting you don’t know what you’re doing at Martin?

[Bad Wolf]

That is not Mara...

Downes did really well there. With KWP up the park he covered that gorund and stopped their attack.

 

[Saint86]

Was that saints fans singing "you don't know what you're doing" when Mara came on?

Embarrassing if so.

[coalman]

Jesus fucking Christ, Baz

[Saint NL]

Hanging on a bit here.... 

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Baz!

 

[Saint NL]

Smallbone needs to score there to finish the game off ffs

[Holmes_and_Watson]

At the other end, Will puts it well over.

[AlexLaw76]

what was that from Bazunu?

[obelisk]

Saints even more profligate than usual today. Should have made this game safe by now.

[SNSUN]

Baz not looking comfortable there. Will's chance was tricky though. 

[trousers]

F*** off

[coalman]

Pish

[Saint NL]

1-1, who is surprised?

[SNSUN]

Well shit.

[obelisk]

Play-offs it is then. More points thrown away.

[bpsaint]

Textbook

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Oh sods...

[Mr X]

Always coming! FFS saints 

[AlexLaw76]

Martin out

[saintant]

Predictable. Play-offs it is then.

[SNSUN]

That's autos done with. Too many missed chances.

[RedArmy]

Fuck off 

[Saint_clark]

That fucked up pass from Brooks earlier when Fraser was in acres of space was just as bad as any of the missed shots. He's been poor since coming on. 

[Saint Fan CaM]

Knew it. And I blame Che fucking profligate Adams.

[Saint Scott]

That's been coming all half, should be out of sight. Terrible game management last 10 minutes 

[Saint NL]

Edozie on? No idea what formation it is now

[The Kraken]

So sloppy.

[coalman]

We can still do this. COYR

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Edozie on for Will. More direct and time to get a late winner.

[saintant]

Let me guess....it was a free header?
