Leicester 5-0 Saints - Match Thread

[Chez]

Leicester pressing and so far, as was the case in the Hull game, we don't seem to be good enough to beat it and play it out from the back.  Got to work harder of the ball to create a passing option, be better and dare I say it, a little braver on the ball. 

The positive is that Leicester have had a lot of ball, which means we are less likely to be caught on the break. Early days though.

Bene better the last couple of minutes

[adrian lord]

Problem is, will we be able to get back from the beach for the playoffs?

[obelisk]

Saints allowing plenty of crosses into the box as usual.

Any midfield containing Charles and Rothwell should be nowhere near 4th place. 

But but but the commentator just said that Rothwell had a good two minute spell 😂

[Mr X]

Proof already that Martins style doesn't work against the better teams

just wait till next season

[jamesfp1]

This is sad to see

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Leicester are putting in some harsh challenges. Dewsbury Hall rolling around after a tackle from us. Diving so much a part of his game.

[Saint Fan CaM]

Vardy fouling our defence once again. Nasty little fucker.

Ipswich as well.

Whereas we play like a team of choirboys 

[Viking Saint]

No pressure on the cross whatsoever, Bree ball watching, McCarthy fumbles. Farcical

[AlexLaw76]

Just about keeping a lid on them, but again, we are shyte at defending outside the box

[coalman]

Vardy should be seeing yellow there for dissent

Bit of a niggle between The and Mary Shelley's Vestergaard going on.

extra house point for the literary reference

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Well done Bedders, who looks back up the pitch, knowing it's going to be a long evening, if things don't change.

[Hawkswood]

You know whatll be the worse thing about staying in this division? 

Another season of having to listen to commentary with Andy Hinchcliffe. Makes me want to punch myself in the face.

[Saint Fan CaM]

22 mins gone - not one shot on target

[trousers]

Only 53% possession? WTF is going on?!

[saintant]

Too many players choosing to hide away. Shrinking violets.

[coalman]

At least we're back on top of the possession stats.

[Sheaf Saint]

Vardy complaining about conceding a FK for a blatant push in the back on Bednarek.

I can't fucking wait for that snidey little prick to retire so I don't have to see him on my TV screens ever again.

[Saint NL]

A midfield disaster so far.

The only solution on the bench is Smallbone so it's hardly inspiring 

[Lighthouse]

Full Walcott there from Rothwell.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

9 shots for them after 20 mins. Grim.

certainly not with these players. When teams press well, to beat that press the players have to be absolute top quality. Ours are just decent at championship level.

Leicester causing us a lot of problems. Completely different tyoe of game to we are used to. Can we step up or adapt even?

[LGTL]

1-0. Been absolutely pathetic

[macca155]

There it is .... easy

[saintant]

This could get embarrassing.

[adrian lord]

So predictable. 

[Turkish]

Fucking rothwell again, picks up the ball in loads of space and sprits directly at 3 Leicester players loses control and gives it away. Fucking shit

[bpsaint]

We’re playing every bit like a side that knows there’s nothing to play for now.

Be nice to bring Stephens on in the 89th minute purely to snap Jamie Vardys legs.

[AlexLaw76]

Rothwell, jesus

[Turkish]

Been coming. We’ve been shit

[Viking Saint]

It's been coming 

[Lighthouse]

Nobody in the same postcode as KDH for that through-ball.

[Saint NL]

Too easy for them.

Promotion party begins for Leicester. We look awful.

[Block41 Saint]

Pathetic. Woeful set up from the manager. 

[Mr X]

And there you have it can't say it wasn't coming 

[trousers]

Uphill battle for an auto-promotion slot now....

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Well, that was coming from the first minute.

[Gingeletiss]

Looked offside in the replay.

[Whitey Grandad]

KWP ball watching.

Bereft of ideas. Backwards sideways backwards we plod on. Shit football.

How I long for the days when we were front footed and aggressive

Not quite.

[coalman]

To be fair that looked like a foul on Che. KWP MIA though.

[Maggie May]

F*** me. Shameful performance.

[saintant]

Question for RM. Is this the team we want to be?

[Saint Fan CaM]

Ref ignores foul on weak as piss Adams, then defence as leaky as you like. This is not looking pretty.

When we were brave.

[Viking Saint]

What is the fucking point of Rothwell. Anyone??
