WBA 0-0 Saints - SF 1st Leg Match Thread

[Whitey Grandad]

At least the ball is up the right end.

[obelisk]

Chance goes begging.

[Saint_clark]

Armstrong should have got that on target at least. Great play by Downes and Aribo.

thank you

[Mr X]

Good work from downes 

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Nearly from AA. Good stuff from Downes and Aribo. Mara had a good moment a minute back, winning it back. But posted missing to get Manning's pass and the move after it.

[Miltonaggro]

Stephens first touch of Harold Shipman. 

[northam soul]

Mara is fucking gash

[Saint NL]

Lovely run by Aribo, great pass

He’s not even that good

Stephens man, so much lazy passing

😂 I love these intermittent posts about Mara even though he's not doing anything wrong.

[Mr X]

Why is mara on the pitch again? 

[SambaMaverick]

In what world is Stephens a defensive midfielder?

[Wade Garrett]

How many fucking times is Stephens going to give the ball away 😡

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Nice run from Aribo. Elsewhere Mara sticks close to his man not offering much

He needs to calm down, he's all over the place with zero composure

Twice already he's given the ball away cheaply. What does Martin see?

[The Kraken]

Stephens is having a fucking mare. Again.

[obelisk]

How many chances are Saints going to spurn in this game I wonder.

Corrected.

[SNSUN]

Getting better but still not brilliant. That said we'd take 0-0 today with the home leg to come. 

[Thereisonlyonemickychannon]

Bloody drink break after 25mins?????

Bloody ponces

[Saint NL]

Saints fans sound loud 👍

To be fair he's not having the storming game that Armstrong is having, who has also done nothing except hit a shot off target from 6 yards out.

The problem is that he's not doing anything

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Stephens would get a lot more credit if he didn't do those longer, riskier no look passes that go straight to opponents. A thing since his return. The other are better, as they know the angles for the passes, reducing the risks.

Being as we’ve only had one 0-0 in 46 games, I’m not overly confident of another.

There's obviously a different outlook on the guy who has contributed on over 30 goals and the one who shouldn't be playing

Compared to the other 10 players on the pitch who are all on a hattrick.

Fixed it for you 😉

[Saint NL]

Is KWP injured? A few times he's not sprinted when he should have....

[FarehamSaintJames]

Currently at work, how the fuck did Mara get a start? Did he win the tombola or something?

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Dreadful out from the back. McCarthy trickled the pass out. Baz knew the strength of his passing. We look a lot shakier doing that under McCarthy

I played golf today - had to have a stella on the 5th - gasping for a swag 😉

[Miltonaggro]

Their wingers are causing us serious problems on the counter. Need a goal to take a bit of their enthusiasm away. 

[saintant]

Good try from Mara

[Saint NL]

Mara overhead kick alert

[DT]

When is the earliest we can take Mara off? Half time? Will Stewart last a half?

[Miltonaggro]

Here it comes 🥅

Try and Mara do not go in the same sentence

This is not the hangover cure i was hoping for today.

Put a tenner on Fraser and Rothwell at 60 odd minutes..

Fuck me 🤦🏼‍♂️

Stephens is the biggest weak link in this team so far and honestly, Manning and KWP need to step up their attacking game because this formation relies on them getting forward which they're not doing at all.

What a save Alex Mac!

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Mara's overhead not troubling. Commentator said "not heavily involved."which sums up his playing style. So far, others have to do more of the work to get it to him. If it's going to work.

[Saint NL]

Fuck me, good save McCarthy 

[RedArmy]

Manning is hopeless 

[Saint Matty 76]

How the fuck is Diangana winning that header ffs

Good stuff McCarthy
