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

[HKsaint]

Our strategy is to keep passing at the back as long ans possible and if we cannot, just kick it to the other side and lose possession. 

[Saint NL]

What's the point in that long ball forward to no one?

[AlexLaw76]

The Shoehorn has been f-ing awful.....

[Saint_clark]

Fraser has been completely anonymous since coming on.

Ask the people moaning about us keeping possession at the back...?

[BotleySaint]

Why are we trying long ball free kick to the shortest player on the pitch?

Because we don’t keep it.

[Saint_clark]

Stephens has a 100% pass rate when going back to the keeper.

[Saint NL]

Feels like WBA have made loads of subs. 

6 mins injury time, just hold on and get the nil nil rather than push people looking for the winner imo

[Farmer Saint]

Brooks and Fraser are only good when in the ascendancy. Brooks is a proper flat track bully. 

[trousers]

Surpised it's only 6 minutes of added time given all the faffing around this half

[Saint_clark]

Should play to 97. 

[Disco Stu]

Brooks on was a mistake.

It does appear that way HK my old pal. 

[Saint_clark]

What a terrible advert for the playoffs these two games have been.

[RedArmy]

Why are we playing lofted balls up to Fraser? Their right back towers over him ffs 

[obelisk]

Stewart making runs into the channels but totally ignored in favour of dangerous tipp-tappy. Corner WBA

For everyone's moaning, Mara was causing them problems this second half.

You're in kings worthy? 👀

Maybe.

Or maybe I can throw my voice a long way.....🙃

[Kermitzasaint]

What's worse? The fact we play as if we are 3 goals up or the fact that either of  two poor teams can get promoted? 

[Saint NL]

Late corner, I'm nervous

[Matty's Caddy]

No ambition

[lambtiss]

Why does Mccarthy keep lobbing it yo Ryan Fraser? 

[Mr X]

Got wBA one nil written all over it

He made a couple of bright early appearances but has been completely anonymous since then. 

[Micky]

Yep, totally anonymous. 

[SNSUN]

WBA finishing strongly. Hold on Saints

[obelisk]

Awful from Saints these last few minutes.

[Saint NL]

That's a dive, cheat 

[SNSUN]

And breathe...

[trousers]

Dive there from the WBA player, surely?

Because he’s aiming for the other wing.

[BotleySaint]

Mccarthy good punch out of the chaos. Really superb game from him. 

[broken spoke]

Yes it was

Agreed.

Sky gave it to Tom Fellows

[SNSUN]

Bednarek MOTM with Alex close.

[saintant]

Tough game, take the 0-0.

[obelisk]

Got away with that. Saints showed no desire to win that game at all.

[SNSUN]

All down to 90 mins then. We have to play Stewart. 

[Whitey Grandad]

0-0

I’d have settled for that before the start.

[Micky]

Zero all. 

[James]

Will take that in the circumstances. 

[skintsaint]

Draw a fair result and a decent one for us. 

[Daft Kerplunk]

Set up for a draw so there you go. Unambitious football.

And a clean sheet 😧

[Saint_clark]

Terrible pair of games that paint the playoffs as anything but exciting.

If Adams is injured then Stewart needs to play. Mara is a non-entity. 

[RobJones1971]

Can’t believe the negativity here. After first 10 minutes we have controlled this game. Totally removed the impact of their crowd. Yes, there are players we all do not like and some disagree with the style of play, but every team playing away would be happy with the score and 64% possession. 
 

What are people expecting, us to batter them 5-0 with 99%!!

[sfc4prem]

Take that.
