All fart and no shit. 

Same week in and week out. The chances we have missed over the last few games is scandalous.

Well, they have, they are on the pitch and one of them set up a sitter....

Next time Sulemena plays you'll be giving him credit then for "being on the pitch" then?

Forget it.  I like Brooks and Fraser. I just liek Sulemena too and think he gets too much stick.

[hypochondriac]

Surprise surpruse no subs at half time despite it being clear that's what we need.

I will give credit where it is due. I have already said that Brooks has not been very good.

4 farts delivering 0 shits is a terrible outcome for all.

I admire your position Chez, I really wanted him to be a huge success for us, as I love to see wingers like him. But he's done absolutely nothing to justify his price tag, he should be tearing up this league.

I was talking about the performance not AA. Although he’s far better from out wide, this game isn’t really suiting him through the middle. 

he'll pop a couple in second half 

[SambaMaverick]

Brooks off for Adams please, he's embarassing

Stephens injured, uh oh

[Saint Fan CaM]

Brookes has been shite, but then he can hardly be considered match fit given Russ doesn’t know his best team (whatever that is).

[tdmickey3]

Garbage 

[Sunglasses Ron]

Cov 2 up!

[Bad Wolf]

You have to laugh at how people have been whinging about Brooks not starting the last few games...Now he starts and is shite.

I'm not giving up on him yet. He's 22. There is still time for him to work his game out.

Noooeees!!!!!

Whew! Looks as though he's okay. That really would have been the end of our seasoon with our key player missing.

Doubt that will be with us though.

[Bad Wolf]

"He got the ball there"

Yeah and then wrapped his legs around Stephens'. This commentary team are awful.

Are you sure? Ever tried to push it past 88? 😉

Frequently. Unless you're a copper in which case... no officer.

[Saint NL]

Blackburn have cracked the code.

Press the defenders and expose our weak spot. 

[Chez]

AA poor hold up play again. Not having a man hold it up is an issue.

Blackburn press starting causing a few issues.

[Saint Fan CaM]

We’re going to get caught down their right - Stephens going missing and Bednarek being pulled out of CB to help him out.

said absolutely everyone including myself last summer.

My guess is that we wanted and probably still will want megamoney.

 

[obelisk]

Saints could really do with a CF to snaffle these crosses into the box.

[FarehamSaintJames]

Both Rothwell and Brooks have performed better as impact subs. And equally I’d rather have Brooks in the middle rather than out wide.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Bedders not happy. Blackburn pressing us a bit more, and with some success. And they already know all about the gaps down our flanks. We have no midfiled to pass out to today. However, the more Blackburn push up, the more space we should get. Sule would be good for that, but I've not seen a pass that would unlock anyone, let amone someone getting in behind.

I like them.

They're asking when Martin will change things up? That's a reasonable question, shame it's not going to happen 

[die Mannyschaft]

Game sounds very boring and not a lot of football quality on the radio. Saints should be scoring freely here and racking up the goals. Is it as bad on the TV

He joined so he could be fit to be picked for Wales if they reached the Euros. They didn't make it so no need for him to play well now! 😁

[Jack]

Absolute garbage. We slow it down far too much to ever trouble their defence and look a threat

Agreed, we aren't getting anywhere close to getting what we paid for him though.

They have. We need to be a bit sharper.

Fucking terrible cross from Fraser.

My word, so much shit in a ten second spell from both teams...

Yep, I've said before that we look better when not starting them both (a bit like during our unbeaten run before they were signed.... Funny that.... )

[Saint NL]

Che and Smallbone means goals goals goals

[Jack]

Stephens just getting in the way when he wanders into midfield. Absolute nonsense

Whinging about Saints getting a clear Saints throw in because "the linesman didn't signal"...

[Saint NL]

We got away with one there.

They're pressing us into self destruction

Only going to go one way at the moment. 

[Chez]

Blackburn have been told to "hussle them and get stuck in". its working. We need to up our game too. 

Almost fucked it there. Baz with a terrible pass

Yeah alright, they just said it's a great game of football 😂

A game that's about to burst into... mediocrity 🙂 

[hypochondriac]

This is so so so depressing worse than Ipswich in some ways. We just have to win this game but no intensity whatsoever. I bet Martin will be proud of the performance. 

[RedWillie]

Martin is out of ideas here.  

 

[Chez]

Good yellow that Brooks. We were in trouble.

[SNSUN]

Zero shots on target. Well done Saints.

[Sheaf Saint]

Cov 2-0 Leeds

[Chez]

Like those subs. 

[USaintA]

Don't panic everyone. This will be a big win for us today. I optimistically predict we'll score 3 goals in 10 minutes and win this 3-0. Saints are going up!

[trousers]

KWP and Smallbone looking confused as to what their respective roles now are...

Date I say it. Brave.

[Chez]

We press and they melt. Let's do that more. Let them pass it about in their third, rob them and score...
