Saints 3-1 West Brom - Match Thread

[Suhari]

Let's be fucking 'avin you!

[coalman]

COYR! A very un-Saintsian atmosphere. Let's fucking have this.

[SNSUN]

KWP left, Stephens right. I like that more than the other way round.

[Saint_clark]

KWP on the left then.

Nevermind, on the right after all?

[trousers]

KWP switched to the right already?

[OttawaSaint]

In the 80s and 90s we had Franny around...now we just fanny around...

[bangkoksaint]

Not really a fast and intensive start from us and we’re letting them settle 

[trousers]

Rishi...!

Adams also in the stands

Some shocking final balls here.

[Saint NL]

Ref, that was never a foul by Armstrong 

[SNSUN]

Wasn't a foul by AA there.

 

Ooh risky from their GK

[trousers]

How is that a foul FFS? Twat ref.

Brooks doesn't have Rothwell to work with so he'll have to disrupt our attacks on his own tonight.

And, oh look, there's Rishi.

Never one on the keeper either that he played advantage for. Some soft calls being made in a very high stakes game.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Some decent early possession, but neither created anything yet.

We'll never build a passing game around Stephens and Aribo.

Their keeper had a nearly moment there.

[obelisk]

Free header for WBA 6 yards out. Wide.

[Saint NL]

Shortest man in the box gets a free header 🫣

[SNSUN]

Penalty oh come on! Ffs

[Saint NL]

Looked a foul on brooks

[Saint_clark]

VAR gives that.

[OttawaSaint]

FFS, get a ball into the box. Back back back we go!

[BotleySaint]

All looks promising and we pass it backwards... 

[stknowle]

Hate to say it but we look so small upfront that crossing the ball is effectively a redundant option.

...maybe not.

[trousers]

Nah, never a penalty 

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Whatever contact there was got ruined by the dive.

[coalman]

Shocking dive from Brooks.

[obelisk]

Too easy fro WBA so far.

[trousers]

Come on Saints...more intensity please...

Yes despite the huffing and puffing we've done nothing of note. Front line looks disjointed 

[Saint_clark]

I can't believe it's only been 15 minutes.

[RedArmy]

AA just isn’t effective through the middle on his own. 
 

EDIT: maybe he is

Good move! Off the post

[obelisk]

Close from Brooks. Post.

[trousers]

Off the post!! F***

Edited 17 May, 2024 by trousers

[Saint NL]

Best move so far

[OttawaSaint]

Ohhh post!

[SNSUN]

Few niggly fouls Saints.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Post! Nice move!

[SNSUN]

Decent save Alex

[obelisk]

Albion getting too much easy possession. Another corner for them.

[stknowle]

Lovely cross that. Well dealt with.

[Uncle Albert]

Tricky one that, well done mccarthy

[Saint NL]

Lucky that went over the bar

[trousers]

This has got 0-0 written all over it....

[OttawaSaint]

Low IQ Brooks, ignores overlap tries to shoot through a defender...FFS!

[obelisk]

Good to see Saints using runners in behind the high Albion defensive line.

Not looking forward to the 3rd leg.
