Leicester 5-0 Saints - Match Thread

[Andy Hill]

We just don’t have the mentality for an away game like this. Our away leg in the play-offs could be a disaster.

[Lord Duckhunter]

Che Adams has to shield that & KWP was ball watching.

What is the fucking point of Rothwell. Anyone??

Better than Alcaraz, apparently

Still winning though

Is he playing?

[Jimmy_D]

Shafted by the officials twice over there. Standard.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Baz would have saved that! 🙂

[Sheaf Saint]

Looked very narrowly offside but that's irrelevant really.

We got carved open and the only surprise is it didn't happen sooner.

We've been fucking terrible tonight.

[LGTL]

Genuinely I’d sack Martin before the play offs start. Fucking fraud

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.

Player of the Season vote for Stephens if he does

Yes he’s the one that looks like he’s never played football in his life

Martin is an idiot

you wot?

[Mr X]

We always resort to constant passing backwards whenever we are under the cosh, instead of trying to be brave! 

[Wade Garrett]

We need to start kicking fuck out of those dirty cunts.

We did it to ourselves. No outside help needed.

[Saint NL]

The goal would have been ruled out with var 

[trousers]

That's more offside than Coventry's disallowed goal at the weekend, that's for sure...

[saintant]

We are hopeless all over the pitch and midfield is non existent.

[LGTL]

They’ve given up, the bunch of shameless pricks. 

[obelisk]

Not exactly play-off winning form from Saints. Totally lacklustre and soft.

[macca155]

They are quicker to the ball, more aggressive in the tackle and their movement is way up on ours.

Zero surprise at the score.

Plenty of time yet though, Leicester are perfectly capable of falling apart like Saints

[madge]

I just hope somebody ends vardys career tonight…  absolute prick…

on other matters we are way off it.. 

[Maggie May]

Sky salivating over one of these famous nights in Leicester.

He’s owed one after injuring van Dijk just before the League Cup final loss against Man Utd.  With VVD fit and doing a job on Zlatan we’d have won that with plenty to spare.

Really?

[coalman]

This is shaping up for Leicester failing to convert their dominance and us nicking 2 goals in the second half.

[adrian lord]

Never took to Martin. 

[Elmore Saint]

I just love the bravery of the 3 passes, 70 yards back to the keeper instead of towards the runner who is looking to break their back line. Must be the scar tissue causing it. 

[Saint Matty 76]

No energy to complain about the offside with how shite we’ve been here

We really are nothing without Downes in the 11

Done a lot of loans right this year but Rothwell certainly not one of them

[Matty's Caddy]

Backwards is the new forwards 🙄

22 mins gone - not one shot on target

My regular battle cry : sort it out Lego Head, you cunt 

[FarehamSaintJames]

This is a bit shit isn’t it.

Looking brave tonight.

[Saint Gifford]

At least I’ve got my weekend back on the 25 / 26.

At least I can cut the grass, and maybe trim the hedges. 

[SNSUN]

I put the game on after 8 mins, have been busy cooking carbonara, finally sit down to eat it and bang. One down.

Sigh.

One can only hope the players are protecting themselves for the playoffs and that they'll come out all guns blazing when it really matters... (No tittering at the back please!)

[Mr X]

All we do is pass in circles! 

[pingpong]

Clear offside, it was a kind angle on the camera and still looked off, probably a good half yard once you correct for that. 

Fortunately, we are better losing today, leicester would be a horrible playoff game and we've got much a better chance against Leeds or Ipswich.

[DT]

Ooh I see we are slow lackadaisical and easy to read. What a fucking shock. Guess they’re saving themselves for new clubs. Tedious lack of bite or pace. So boring. 

[macca155]

Che has to keep going with Faes. Make him have a very uncomfortable evening. He's cruising for a card lol

[Lighthouse]

Time for some good old fashioned lucky muffins.

[coalman]

I wouldn't say that I need to drink to watch Saints at the moment. But I also am not not drinking right now.

[OnceaSaintalwaysaSaint]

Commentary has it right. They're not looking for the forward runs

[macca155]

Rothwell is where passing moves go to die.

Have we given up on the nuns ? 

[AlexLaw76]

Fuck me, Rothwell has been awful so far

[saint michael]

We just keep taking too many touches, slowing everything down. No real movement and one touch stuff. 

[Edmonton Saint]

Whatever we needed in the January window. It wasn’t Brooks and Rothwell. Terrible.
