Ooh something happened.

This....best chance of the game 

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Close from Adams there. Joe clearly felt he'd get closed down by the time he switched it to his other foot.

[washsaint]

Really pointless loan signings, Brooks and Rothwell.

And yet none of our promising youngsters who looked pretty good when they got a chance (Dibling, BRagg, SAA, Meghoma) can even get on the bench.

Dullest game I have seen for a long time.

let them try to play out. They can't. 

As a result a decent chance for Adams

What about her?

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Smallbone Watch: Right flank to pass it, right flank to support, in fromt of the defence to support and in DM to provide a passing option. Now out right again, linking up. Hopefully a bit more outcome from him being on.

[Harry_SFC]

Let's be honest. If we go up with Martin in charge we will get bent over backwards every week. Maybe it's for the best.

[trousers]

2 points from last 3 games as things stand. Simply not good enough.

We won't even win the possession if we go up 😱

[Chez]

Bednarek fuck up. thankfully its the championship and he gets away with it.

[Saint86]

Reckon Edozie would do well in this game. Able to hold onto the ball and actually carry it / beat a man.

Looks less than impressed at the houses in Wolverhampton. 🙂 

[Sunglasses Ron]

Come on FFS, surely a late onslaught!

[trousers]

This has got Sam Gallagher last minute goal written all over it....

[Chez]

two on one for the corner, easy cross and man unmarked. Perfect example of why we concede goals and dont win enough games.

[The very right reverend]

With Bazunu, Stephens and Bednarek playing what chance do we have over the season? None at all. Terrible footballers.

And even that won't be as tedious as all the "HE NEVER GOT A FAIR CHANCE!!" comments that will follow.

You're on something right? Bednarek, despite being awful in the PL has been outstanding this season...

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Ah, the lovely foot race we have when we lose possession from our own corner.

[Saint NL]

We can't handle the press at all. 

[Saint Fan CaM]

Blackburn looking favourites to steal 3 points.

[Chez]

three vs two break from our own corner.  Lucky the squared pass wasn't good.

Preferred the first half. Blackburn the better side.

[Saint NL]

Sulemana and Edozie coming on

[Saint Fan CaM]

Stephens is not a LB…not in anyone’s dreams.

[obelisk]

Just one team in this now and it aint Saints.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Edozie on for AA.

[Saint86]

This is dire this half. Being comfortably outplayed by 17th in the league.

[Sheaf Saint]

Sully and Edozie coming on to scare the shite out of their defence for the last 15 mins.

[Bad Wolf]

Blackburn fans applauding AA - Class

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Fraser off for Sule

[Chez]

Blackburn outworking us. Simple as that.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Blackburn the only side here putting pressure on.

Martin will bring him on in the last minute… Really getting frustrated with Martin now. He doesn’t know where he is with team selection, formation or subs but definable knows his favourites will play..

Maybe we're seeing different things, his spatial awareness and positional play make him appear exceedingly arrogant or totally clueless, the number of times he makes a mistake and turns to point the finger at someone else, a charlatan.

[SNSUN]

We'll nick this. I bet my wife on it.

[Sheaf Saint]

How is that not a booking then? He clearly and deliberately tried to prevent the FK being taken.

[Saint NL]

Martin looking calm and serene again 😂😂

[Edmonton Saint]

Ipswich lost, Leicester drawing, Leeds losing… Giving us a small glimmer of hope. . I think I know the way this will end..

Shite refereeing? Just a hunch...

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Stephens with an auto pass back there. Had he looked, he would have seen he was in bags of space to get it moving forward. Exactly the thing he's not in the middle to do there.

That I agree with and it's one of the things that's always annoyed me about him.

Limping into the playoffs 

Yawn fest

She has my sympathy in that you clearly don't like her much with that bet. 🙂
