Ipswich 3-2 Saints - Match Thread

[Jimmy_D]

How the utter **** that was a sending off escapes me. After their worthless Neanderthals have been kicking us off the pitch all game? **** off.

[Tanlee]

Far better team for 80 mins but still concede 3, that about sums us up 

[Farmer Saint]

But we had our best CB's out there - we can't have conceded 3 goals??

Maybe, just maybe, our CB's aren't good enough. Just saying.

[Lighthouse]

All three goals were completely unchallenged shots from inside our box, whilst the defenders stood and watched. F**king useless.

[LGTL]

Sums up these bunch of soft cunts and our massively soft cunt manager. Martin out. 

[SW5 SAINT]

They went over live on SSN as Ipswich keeper was throwing the ball out, you just knew they were going to score….!

shite hold up play by AA. He just can't play that role.

...and shortly after they score.

Spot on. His touch was pathetic & gave them the opportunity to get it forward one more time. 

[James]

Absolute bottle job. Bunch of chokers the lot of them. Can’t wait for the playoffs…

[Maggie May]

Fair play Ipswich.  We do not have the bottle - we won’t go up for a long time.

I'm sorry but Martin has to go. This is pathetic.

Agreed, time to go, take Bazunu with him 

[RedWillie]

So damn predictable. Time and time again

Lucky, lucky Ipswich.

People slate this point of view but yeah, every single time I've seen them this season they have played some sort of get out of jail free card. Done it again today. 

Saints we're the better side for the overwhelming majority of that, even with ten men. Fucking unbelievable we've thrown that away. 

[Wade Garrett]

Bazunu is so fucking shite it’s unbelievable.

Great work Russell.  Hopefully Wilcox needs a cleaner at Man U and fucking takes you with him.

[adrian lord]

Martin can't coach defending. 

[Whitey Grandad]

Just now, Sheaf Saint said:

Who is going to defend Baz for that one then? Come on, let's see you.

Nothing to defend. A toe-poke into the bottom corner from a few yards out. Nobody is ever going to save that.

Which doesn’t mean that I think he’s a good keeper. Just that some of you have never played football in your lives.

[Zorba]

Shambles again!

RM OUT!

Take your shit Russball with you! 

[Mallagroth]

Fair play to them… they have got determination and never give up, when we find that in our squad we will be able to go up.

[OttawaSaint]

A few games left and Martin still doesn't

A) know his best defence

B) know how to organize a defence

C) know how to stop trying to be oh such a clever nice hair neat bearded cunt

Embarrassing refereeing!

Whoever goes up this year will be destroyed in the PL.

We went up to the premier league on Nigel Adkin's magic bus, so I'm all about getting on board Russell Martin's rocket ship to get us over the line.

Unfortunately it's April Fool's day and experience tells me that our team will once again generate the punchlines. Good luck to all of you travelling today. 

Well done saints, almost thought we might win there but you managed to get the joke done in the end.

[sambosa75]

Home truths need saying.  With Wilcox leaving, time to jog Martin on too.

Bazunu is toilet. 
 

we won’t go up with Russ, this style of play is too brittle and not clinical enough.

fuck knows what Wilcox has done to deserve being recruited by United.

You can't deny it Ipswich town are definitely on fire saints I'm afraid are just not able to compete against passion and fight like they had. Their subs really made the difference.

 

Horrible fuckin team

[Mr Saints]

Bollocks. 

They are very cuntish but hope they get top two. They will dick us in the play offs.

You've got to be f**king joking now?!

[Saint NL]

We have zero bottle.

The playoffs are going to be a real shitty time. We only play well when the pressure is off.

[obelisk]

Saints just don't have the strength to go on and win games like this. That game was a pointer to what will happen in the play-offs and shows that we'll be in the Championship for many seasons to come. Welcome to Stoke 2.0.

[Killers Knee]

Putting Smallbone on is synonymous with losing another player.  He is a class-A ball-watching coward.  Never again please.

[Sidney Fudpucker the 3rd]

And that's exactly why Saints don't deserve to go up. 

Can just see them losing in the plays offs to someone like WBA or Norwich. 

 

[Challenger]

And some mugs still think these brittle bottlers can win though the playoffs. Not a cat in hells chance. SR, for Christ sake next season buy a fucking striker and a goalkeeper.

[S-Clarke]

Those last min wins are coming to bite us hard now, we got them all at the wrong end of the season when they were irrelevant. 

Played well I thought, but the key thing is that we give up 3 goals a game so we need to score at least 4 or 5 to comfortable win. That's not sustainable.

This run is now obviously nothing, more a case of 8 games to keep fitness/maintain fitness for the playoffs. 

Our form since February has been unacceptable really, we sank when we should have done what Leeds did and grabbed by the scruff of it's neck. Lots and lots of weak characters in this side and there always has been. Playoffs will kill them before they even start.

this, Ipswich were shit for most of the game.

[Chez]

Ipswich just keep going right to the end. They have won so many games late. Fair play to them.

Overall it was a great game. Thought we played pretty well. Could easily have gone our way.

Very tough result to swallow, but we just don't quite have that killer instinct. 

Automatic has gone, but we can win play off games.

[SaintNewForest]

Poor subs cost us (again) today.

Play-offs it is, where we'll bottle that chance as well.

Edited 1 April, 2024 by SaintNewForest

[SonicBoom]

The lack of balls in this team is incredible. We go in front in a game and then we shrink and become totally passive. 

[BotleySaint]

The subs today were totally ineffective. None of them seemed to come on with a sense or purpose, a plan. Everyone just sits back hoping someone else will take responsibility. 

[Saint Fan CaM]

Martin screws around with a winning team time and again. Bazunu has no leg strength so every time he has to jump/spring for a shot he’s left short. Recruitment of a decent non-crocked striker a telling fuck-up for 4 seasons. Watch the rats try to escape the sinking ship now - except Manning…he’ll stick around for his mate.

[Saint Matty 76]

This team do not have the bottle to finish off or hold onto tight games

If we're not 2 goals up by HT it's borderline curtains most of the time if the opposition have anything about them. Stick around in the game and we'll hand you a way back in, no problem

Ipswich absolute shite and probably the 10th team leaving a game against us wondering how they got something

Bazunu is not good enough and will ALWAYS let us down when it matters, as he's proven time and time again

God forbid this group of players having to show up and play in an occasion such as Wembley should we make it

[die Mannyschaft]

Blown top 2 chance. Just can't defend and this over passing tactic just let's teams get goals, especially late ones. Next season in championship can we buy some goal scorers, defenders and a keeper. Plus change tactics.

[madge]

Fucking weak mentally.. all this talk of being brave, we aren’t, we play possession football, that isn’t brave. Barcelona in their pomp or Man City are never referred to as brave. How the fuck have we lost a game to this shite.. honestly Martin needs to take a long hard look at himself. Subs once again killed us.  If the club blame the Wilcox uncertainty too, then that’s a piss take. One thing I’d say is we’ve looked absolutely dogshit since Stephen’s came back into the team.. totally unbalanced the whole squad.  With this squad we’ve massively fecked this up. Never been a fan of Martin. Really hope we change direction next season.

[Convict Colony]

Ok I know now is not the time but imagine.

A clinical centre forward

A class midfielder to complement Downes

A right back called KWP

A goalie who actually can pull off a worldie save

[OnceaSaintalwaysaSaint]

We lost that when we sat back after going 2-1 up. How often do we do that? 

[The Kraken]

That third goal is just criminal bottling defending.

[skintsaint]

Lol same old same old

[James]

The playoffs are going to be horrible on this evidence. This team has no spine. 

[Window Cleaner]

Well, when Saints were dominating in the first half I thought that Ipswich didn't look like a promotion chasing side at all. 

Second half was very different.

Speaking sense as always, I was surprised how dirty ipswich were though.

Yep, basically just waiting for the final whistle. Noone realising we could still lose the game. Switched off.
