Only four mins of added time?!?!

I think that's what they call a "blessing in disguise"....

[Saint86]

Blackburn timewasting down by their own corner flag. What a dire game.

[Chez]

We've looked much more threatening since Edozie and Sulemana came on. 

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Lots of hard work there from Aribo. But he should have passed it back to Edozie in the first place.

[washsaint]

I feel for the fans who traveled up to watch this s**e

[SaintsBarry74]

Snoozefest

[trousers]

Gallagher man of the match.... "He's one of our own..."

[Chez]

Great turn Mara.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Last minute free kick!

[Jack]

90 seconds left and we’re still going backwards and sideways instead of getting it in the box. Absolutely fucking dreadful. The whole system and mentality stinks and that’s on Russ

[Suhari]

Not going up, are we?

[whelk]

FFS Smallbone you twat

[The Kraken]

Absolute fucking twats. Get the free kick in the box!

[Mattio]

Smallbone is fucking awful...

[Saint NL]

Free kick with a minute to go, we faff around and play it short and it's cleared towards our corner flag.

Sums this game up

[obelisk]

Why not put the free kick in the box. So dumb.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

That's the worst free kick I can remember for ... well, it's the worst one I can remember... what on Earth was the point of that with seconds to go.

Why the actual fuck did we just pass that sideways and not launch it into the box! 

[Saint Matty 76]

Glad I didn't bother with that one!

[Disco Stu]

0-0 borefest. If this is the intensity we're playing at for the rest of the season, I can't see us winning many.

[Daft Kerplunk]

Play offs will be tough going for 2 matches.

[Mr X]

Teams can easily counter our style now and set themselves up to get a point and sometimes with our mentality they get more! 

[Zorba]

Boring toothless shite.

Russball at its best!

[whelk]

These fucking commentator clowns. Fuck me

That's because they actually take responsibility for carrying the ball and beating a man. Rather than always looking for the short layoff pass.

[SNSUN]

Start of the unbeaten run to the end of the season. No more defeats in 2024.

Possession.

Martin wants us to retain possession!

[Anders]

That freekick sums us up

[Saint NL]

A steaming turd of a performance.

Complete waste of everyone's time.

Sums this team up

Fixed it for you.

[The very right reverend]

I can't wait to hear the clowns explanation for this, no way are we going up via the plays offs, no way, we're turgid, akin to Puel's reign.

Sums our season up to be fair. Faffing around for Faffings sake.

Because they are stupid cunts

[Bad Wolf]

Did Gallagher seriously get man of the match (actual question based on the above comment) I thought he was utterly dreadful.

[Sheaf Saint]

Dreadful performance. So disjointed and uninspiring. 

Is that our first 0-0 of the season?

[FarehamSaintJames]

“Exciting end to the season”

[hypochondriac]

Unforgivably awful. I'm close to wanting Martin to not take charge next year because I know we will have the exact same issues with no hope of things getting better. 

[Challenger]

Who's decision was it to throw the towel in for this season, SR, the manager or the " team" , or was it a joint decision ?

The blueprint for how to knock us out of the playoffs has been well and truly drawn up. 17th in the league nearly beat us and made a draw look easy... our form is in freefall. 🤣

[The Kraken]

Duckie will be disappointed, Lego head has had his barnet chopped.

[obelisk]

Well at least it's a clean sheet. This team seems to be getting worse though.

[Saint Fan CaM]

Utter, utter shit. I’m done with Russball. It’s just so easy for any team beyond L1 of whatever ability to defend against. Martin is not the answer whatever the question, but he will survive another season to keep us rooted in the Championship just like Swansea etc etc.

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

Yes but Sydenham had a great end product…. 

[gammon cheeks]

Smallbone free kick sums us up really .....

[Norm]

A brilliant advert for Walking Football. Never mind, we won 31% to 69% possession. 
well done to the Saints fans that travelled and endured that.

[aintforever]

Well that was just boring. This sideways shit is just getting frustrating now. I get the idea that if we have the ball they can’t be attacking us, but also every minute we fuck about with it at the back means we are not attacking either. Against some sides you are better off just risking losing possession to actually get forward.

[sfc4prem]

That started boring and ended boring.

Yes, that 8th place PL finish and narrowly lost cup final was truly the darkest time in the club's history.
