Saints 0-1 Stoke - Match Thread

[washsaint]

What a dog***t team that is.  How the hell does Brooks get yet another start despite being dire.

And Mara as the lone striker - wtf?

I've stood by Martin all season but he seems to be losing the plot - particularly as he simply refuses to play any of OUR young players ahead of failed loanees.

This certainly has some merit though Edozie definitely deserves to play his way back in the first team.

Edozie is utter s**t and yet more wasted money from Man City

[Convict Colony]

See if these work for anyone who needs one

Odds on Edozie, Brooks and Mara scoring today

He's looked decent in a handful of games before Christmas but overall has been disappointing in my opinion

Patently not true…. 
Plus adds some variety in attack which would not go amiss particularly as Brookes as been relatively ineffective ….

Edozie has shown to be a real threat and needs some minutes…

He's been very good this season? A 7/10 at the very worst.

Anyone would think we had tired players and the biggest two weeks for the club in over a decade coming up.

[Disco Stu]

If Dibling, Meghoma and Amo-Ameyaw can't get in the squad today, they might as well hand in their transfer requests.

[pingpong]

Aim for 7-0, and even if we fall short hopefully we can get 4 or 5.

Same against Leeds, and job done hopefully.

[Bad Wolf]

Did Stoke forget we play in the same colours, turn up in their home kit and so we've leant them our away kit from 2 seasons ago?

[obelisk]

Stoke have obviously been watching how other teams press Saints tippy-tap defence.

[Bad Wolf]

Miss of the season from Stoke

[obelisk]

Stoke also as bad as Saints with their finishing too.

[Jack]

Not really a surprise that we look fucking awful is it. Most lightweight front 4 imaginable 

[Mr X]

We haven't exactly flown out the traps today! 

[Mr X]

Stoke had the better of the chances really

This maybe so, but what about the all important possession stats?

[Block41 Saint]

Shea Charles has to be up there with the worst Championship signings of all time. He's absolutely shite.

They are clearly pressing us in our own half....very brave of us to keep playing like this.

WTF was that from Edozie?

As bad as he is, he's not even our worst signing from City.

Rothwell is deemed essential though for some bizarre reason….

[washsaint]

Well if this is Martin's committed players we are in big trouble......this is as flat a performance as is imaginable.

No creativity, no fight, no guile.

And Charles is utter s*** - gives the ball away cheaply and is very slow.

[Mr X]

Where's the reaction from the 5-0 we were promised? 

[Bad Wolf]

Ref giving Stoke everything. 

[AlexLaw76]

They are all over us in our half....lets see if Martin changes it up a bit..?

[tdmickey3]

Absolute pointless shit, and a pathetic choice of team. 

Martin is taking the piss out of the paying fans 

How is this garbage helping prepare for the playoffs, man is an idiot

Of course he won't.

[Bad Wolf]

Sheff Wed beating WBA. If Rohl keeps Wednesday up, he's second only to McKenna for manager of the season IMO

[obelisk]

Tall Paul would have buried that cross.

This is a peek into a Russell Martin 2nd season in the championship at saints, team

Probably a term of his loan that we pay less of his wages the more he's used. Not unusual. 

[RedArmy]

Hands up if you’ve ever seen Mara time a jump

[AlexLaw76]

On top a bit now 

[Block41 Saint]

A glimpse into the future under Martin when we fail to go up.

Kind of predictable I guess when there’s multiple players in that team that aren’t good enough

Weren't we saying that on Tuesday? 😂

[Jack]

So slow. So little movement off the ball. So easy to defend against. Boring. 
 

The problem with being happy to stroll around in the opposition half is you’ve got no space to play in and then loads of space for the opposition to break into when you inevitably give it away. Rinse and repeat 

[Saint NL]

Sums up Brooks

[AlexLaw76]

what a shit corner from Stoke

[Mr X]

Stoke city have more passion and grit than us.... Let that sink in 

[Baird of the land]

Seems such a weird strategy. Rest so many key players but also refuse even countenance giving 1 academy player a chance.
