I know it's obvious to say, but Downes makes such as huge difference. He hussles defensively, and he helps us get out of tight holes when we have the ball. He's willing to take the ball when a an is tight to him. 

He’s an excellent player will be playing on the premier league next season for someone you’d think

If we’d beaten Stoke we could have finished on 90 points and still been fourth.

Its a madness of a league this season.

It’s got to said…Aribo gets my MOTM.

Rotherham 5-2 Cardiff!

Downes for me. He makes the difference in every game he plays. 

[Chez]

Got to say mcCarthy's pings out to the fullbacks on the touchlines have been very good.

[Saint NL]

Hahahah the reaction to that goal kick 😂

[Saint Fan CaM]

Ref has completely lost it now! 😂

For Downes who has been the best player on the pitch

has a feel of a friendly now anyway 

Both teams have clearly taken their foot off the throttle, understandable really. Obviously the result won’t count for anything but having listened to Leeds fans call us the, "flat track bullies who only beat sh*t teams," all season, it would be hilarious to do the double over them.

[Jimmy_D]

Oooh, good move there

[Colinjb]

Sully has to hit the target there

[Mr X]

Fuck me 39% possession Martin will be livid! 🤣

[Saint NL]

Sulemana really should do better there

[Saint Fan CaM]

Great chance for Sully to get his goal

[trousers]

Free header Sulemana! Got to get that on target

Maybe. He's genuinely `too good for the Championship'. But there weren't any takers last summer and everyone got a good look at him at West  Ham playing at that level. 

Obviously we'll win the play offs and he will sign for us.

UNlucky Sulemena

[Disco Stu]

Waiting for Ross Stewart now.

He doesn’t look interested. No movement or hard running.

[Mr X]

Sullemana such a good buy

[Holmes_and_Watson]

That was a great chance for Sule! Good move Saints! And good to see Sule in the middle right enough. That wasn't far from being a Che close range miss. That's the potential he's already showing in there. 🙂

[Saint Fan CaM]

C’mon Russ we want the monster!

he just showed great movement for the header a second ago? 

 

 

[Chez]

another decent McCarthy strong handed parry. He's looked pretty solid.

On another day those parries go to a forward, we concede and everyone says how shit he is. Not a single mention about it when it doesn't pan out like that.

[Suhari]

Shhooooottt!!

Funny 

 

[Holmes_and_Watson]

We're playing much deeper. Odd to see us happy to conserve energy, and let Leeds have possession. We have Sule waiting for a slip. Leeds had a chance as we sat in our box.

2 strong parties out from McCarthy today.

Experienced play from Aribo to get us a free kick with not much going on ahead of him.

Has to be between him, Carrillo,  Mara and Ali dia for worst ever saints player. But based on his price tag it’s hard to look far past him. Absolute dross 

[Sheaf Saint]

Stewart coming on!

[Mr X]

We haven't really looked like adding to the second so far 

[Saint Fan CaM]

That should have been a red for Gruev - out of control lunge took Sully’s leg. Terrible challenge.

[BotleySaint]

Wild challenge that. Totally out of control. 

[Chez]

thats really bad tackle both feet off the ground. Red in the Prem possibly.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Bree and Stewart!

Was alright it’s more a general comment on his effort and attitude. A couple of mins after the header he could’ve possibly been played through but there was no speed, movement or effort to make life hard for the covering fullback. Happy for you to disagree as always, its all about opinions.

[Saint_clark]

8 minutes of jogging around touching the ball twice should have Stewart razor sharp.

[obelisk]

Game has taken on the air of a pre-season friendly.

Don't forget the muscle injury

[BotleySaint]

Sully is really unbelievably poor. A little nudge and he's down injured

If he'd caught him with his leading leg and not the trailing one, it probably would have been.

You obviously didnt witness Stephen O'Halloran in a Saints shirt then?

[Holmes_and_Watson]

A little, late cotton wool for AA and KWP.

Most getting some minutes.

[Saint_clark]

"He touched the ball, he touched the ball, he touched the ballll"

I am just desperate for him to succeed. He ain't been great, but him blossoming at Saints would be fantastic. I'm not giving up on him yet.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Good work from Aribo, but he just couldn't get it under control for ages there.

Has the skills but not the effort

We can certainly agree on that. Has to start wanting it though.

[FarehamSaintJames]

Everyone in the bottom six practically winning, aside from Huddersfield.

Who’s going to bottle it with minutes to go?

[obelisk]

Saints moving the ball forward much more quickly. Less tippy-tappy possession is  working.

[Sheaf Saint]

Some very late tackles flying in from Leeds. I counted 3 in that move alone!
