Dragan landing his plane at SMS to fire Martin at full time? 😱

And then tell Rasmus to clear his desk and what he can do with his f*cking Ted talks.

[tdmickey3]

A true masterclass of playoff preparation.

Well done Russell Fuckin Martin

Absolute idiot

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Still just below that 60% possession. C'Mon Saints.

McCarthy makes one of those save things that the Stoke keeper hasn;t had to do much of.

[The Curse of St Mary's]

The amount of chances conceded today is appalling. Both Norwich and WBA will be hoping they play us. We are dreadful 

[DG]

64% possession and 3 shots on target (v their 8). Pathetic.

0-1 down and fannying around with the ball in our own half.

Just wait until the playoffs, second leg, need to throw the kitchen sink at the opposition to take it to ET. 

Pass, sideways, back, back, slow, walking, sidways, back, slooooow...*final whistle* players fall to the turf, "how did this happen".

Saints should be 4 down. Tater saying saints well on top and giving everything 😂. Could play for another 90 and not score

Yes! My link must have been behind. Well done Russ! 64% possession. The foundation of success!

[Saint NL]

Franny says there'll be enough injury time for saints to score two..... So around 9 hours then?

Possession is nothing without purpose…😉

[northam soul]

We really haven’t got a clue at the moment.

When they should all be stepping up they all go missing.

Play like we have recently and we have no chance in the playoffs whoever we meet.

 

 

[adrian lord]

Just woke up from a nap. Oh dear. 

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Fraser ( who I forgot was on) tries a cut back, but no one there.

"They are a good team and play good football." - Stoke 'tator talking about Saints, who have shown very little "good" in anything today.

Yet the players and Russ continue their slumber...

[Sheaf Saint]

If by some miracle we manage to equalise and take a point from this game, we'll have Mccarthy to thank for keeping us in it.

[obelisk]

Just lump the thing FFS.

[bangkoksaint]

ST price hikes, Championship football and Russ ball……….who wouldn’t want to renew?

[washsaint]

This has been absolutely terrible.  No way we win the play-offs - our form and confidence has fallen off a cliff.

We're not even creating chances now (that we would invariably miss anyways).

If this is Martin's idea of a reaction.......

[Holmes_and_Watson]

'Tator worried aobut playing in the corner for 4 mins hadning the momentum back to Saints. We'd just pass momentum across the back, until it went away.

[Stripey McStripe Shirt]

Anyone remember that weird sense of optimism our fan base had about 7 days and 2 hours ago?

[Thereisonlyonemickychannon]

Martin is a poser tosser. Get rid.

[washsaint]

Bree - a League One player.  Can't cross for toffee.

We're blessed with Bree and Manning as full back options.............

[Suhari]

Bree cross.

Wow.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Last ditch cross.... hopefully someone from way back in the stand will throw that back...Thanks Bree.

[obelisk]

If this is what RM will be offering us next season then he can sod off right now.

Given the position we were in, there was cause for optimism. However it seems the players were unaware and are already on the beach. 

[washsaint]

And there are the well deserved boos.....

[Billy the Kidd]

I’m not sure I’ve ever been this bored watching football before.

Pretty much lost for words, it is that dull and predictable.

 

[LGTL]

Absolutely diabolical. Please god just sack the prick 

[Suhari]

Get it in the fucking mixer you twats.

[obelisk]

Cross the damn thing and stop fannying around. Useless.

[SNSUN]

Fizzing out. Heading to play offs in no form.

[Saint NL]

All over.

Total shite.

[BotleySaint]

3 straight defeats. Each one utterly boring.

[CB Fry]

We have really sent out a message to our play-off rivals today and no mistake.

[James]

Can’t wait for the playoffs. Martin has lost control here. 

[Totton Saint]

I need a shrink to wean me off  being a saints fan  I  Am  already getting withdrawal symptons.

Edited 27 April, 2024 by Totton Saint

[DT]

He really, obviously has no clue. And the players are gutless, talentless mercenary no-marks. This is not a team. Appalling

[Bewildered]

Horrendous, despite letting the ball go through his legs for the goal, McCarthy kept the score down in the end.

[northam soul]

Still waiting for the reaction that has supposedly been coming recently.

 

[washsaint]

That was as spineless, pathetic display as is imaginable.  No reaction from the players to the Leicester game.

But still - now is not the time to try out any of our more promising encouraging Academy prospects.

Instead start the bloody awful Charles and Brookes.

Terrible team, terrible management

He won't change. Just a coach...

"I want you to pass it sideways, backwards, sideways, forwards, backwards, sideways, sideways etc etc etc etc...and do that for plus 60mins. 

Tosser.

[vectraman]

Terrible tippy tappy total toss.

Thats the only time he's been on this game, most off the time he's been offside.

[saintstowin]

Poor form at the wrong time. But we can still win a two leg play off. 

[Charlie Wayman]

Bloody pathetic. Aimless rubbish. Surely SR must dump the clown soon. 

Edited 27 April, 2024 by Charlie Wayman

[Elmore Saint]

Dead rubber or not, that was a performance devoid of any life at all. Some "reaction" to Tuesday night. 

Time to go Martin
Time to go Rasmus
Time to go Dragan

100% done with this bunch of tossers running our club into the ground.

The replay of that Stoke chance, KWP just casually strolling along next to him. What's up with KWP? His form has fallen off a cliff

Yes but RM has guaranteed the senior players total immunity. 🤷‍♂️

Weird…. 

[trousers]

Is this parade / presentation taking place or what? More stewards left in the stadium than fans now...
