Blackburn 0-0 Saints - Match Thread

[trousers]

So, how much of my life savings should I whack on a Sam Gallagher winner...? 

[washsaint]

Fraser will, I'm sure, escape any criticism despite being probably the worst player on the pitch today (despite intense competition).

Yet Stephens, who has played well again, will get heaps of abuse.

[Saint NL]

So close, KWP nearly scored but Adams should have tucked it in

[Chez]

Lively start from Sulemena...I would say that though.

Cover it with a Saints playoff failure.

sets up KWP and we nearly score.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

A shot! On target!
Nice from Sule. Wasn;t sure about KWP's touch, but he got an effort away there.

[Sheaf Saint]

Cov 2-1 Leeds

Stoke 2-2 WBA

[Saint NL]

Leeds pull a goal back, 2-1 now

[GrumpyYorkshireSaint]

Sat at work and even the BBC updates are not mentioning this match. Is it really that bad?

Not from me. He did fuck all. That said, hidn't play badly, just one bad miscontrol, but he just didn't do anything.

been very lively last 25 minutes. Lots of locked shots. chances for Blackburn. One for us.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

KWP was always going to get robbed there. Baz blocks the shot.

Another player who seems to play his best football as a sub 

[Saint NL]

Let's be honest, only one team look up for this. 

[Suhari]

I've been more interested in reading and signing my company's new infosec policy than I have in watching this turdfest of a performance.

Just dismal.

[HKsaint]

Clueless

[Sheaf Saint]

Terrible corner from Smallbone.

[Saint Fan CaM]

What a shite corner by Smallbone and shite attacking move by Sulemana.

[Lee On Solent Saint]

Martin interview after this will be interesting

[Holmes_and_Watson]

That little move there to get the corner is the most connected we've been all game. Passing across the back into Aribo in midfield. We had runners furhter forward and it goes out to Edozie. He has to chest it down, but gets a corner.

[Saint NL]

KWP off? Mara on, wtf is that sub?

[washsaint]

All Sulemana seems to be able to do is push the ball past a defender and run and hope he's quicker than the defender.

 

[Saint Fan CaM]

KWP off for Mara. WTF?!

[Sheaf Saint]

WTF is that sub all about?

[Holmes_and_Watson]

KWP off for Mara - fitness... or form???

[Saint Billy]

As long as we have won the possession stats everything is ok in RM's book 

[Suhari]

Mara's hair is the most entertaining thing we have delivered today.

Leics 2-1 Brum

[trousers]

Ooh.... almost Sulemana 

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Good chance. You'd want Sule to be the man to get through. But couldn;t get it past the keeper.

CB: Bednarek
LB: Stephens

great play saints to keep the ball there. Lovely turn Sulemena and dragged back.

Not the worst strategy in all honesty

No matter what we do

Everything we do is poo

Playing like we have no clue

We perform like we're League Two

Any old timers on here remember Johnny Sydenham, he did just that for years. 😊

[GrumpyYorkshireSaint]

Leicester in lead now

[washsaint]

Gutless performance unfortunately.  No zip, no cutting edge, mainly sideways and backwards at a walking pace.

No way do Saints go up this season - and thankfully so.  IT would be embarrassing next season.

[RedArmy]

Woeful afternoon, but watch us bang one in deep into stoppage time. 

[Sheaf Saint]

Commentator: "Not sure either side has done enough to win it"

Well, the fact that neither team has scored would seem to support that assessment.

Tbf though you do get those weird players, managers, commentators and fans who do say stuff like "I felt we did enough to win the game" despite drawing or losing.
