Newcastle 1-0 Saints - Match Thread

[Saint Fan CaM]

Move the fucking ball quicker!!!

[Saint_clark]

Archer wasteful with the ball, passing it straight out of play.

[BotleySaint]

In the Prem we need to make set pieces like corners count. That's the worst part of our game..

Absolutely. Ideally, Edozie would be the developing player getting regular minutes from the bench.

His directness and speed of decision aren;t there, so his opponents are coping fairly easily, regardless of what he tries.

[trousers]

12th corner for Saints 

[OttawaSaint]

SAA is twice the player Edozie is.

Can we not just have one slice of luck? Ball keeps falling tantilizingly too far away from our toes.

That's the curse of SJP I'm afraid. Seems to be the case every time we play up there.

[Jack]

Our crossing has been really poor

…apart from the whole gifting the opposition easy goals thing!

[RedArmy]

Who was comparing Archer to Defoe?? 

[obelisk]

Our attacking is laughable at times.

So we got promoted and went on a record-breaking unbeaten run despite crap tacticss?

Expand  

Absolutely. Other teams were better than us and used different tactics.

[OttawaSaint]

Archer needs to recalibrate his bow...

Villa fans were comparing him to Darren Bent!

We don't have the players for set pieces and corners. Dead easy to defend against us.

[Saint Fan CaM]

Pretty poor from Archer tbh. No composure.

[BotleySaint]

We gave it a go against 10 men but worrying lack of clinical finishing. Ultimately because of the flow of the game it's a point dropped although I expected none anyway.

Willem Defoe...

Archer what was that

More like Marcus Bent. 

[The Kraken]

Over an hour with a man advantage and we’ve rummaged up 4 shots on target all game. Just not good enough.

[SNSUN]

Same problems really. Poor GK cost us tbe points and can't score. Decent performance though otherwise.

[saintant]

This is a poor poor effort against ten men.

[Ralph Fastenbüttl]

Ideal spot for JWP, that.

[SNSUN]

Bournemouth equalise! 

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Edozie wins a freekick. Considering the end product they could just have let him run until he fell over. 🙂

Can we not just have a half decent CF and keeper?

Don't anyone kid themselves that we've been unlucky, this pattern of result is going to occur very frequently.

[Miltonaggro]

Ref 🤡 

[OttawaSaint]

Why don't we try something? Smallbone Smallbone Smallbone. All his set pieces use been shit.

Alcaraz on the pitch has a good strike of the ball.

[Norm]

How many shots on target in the 95 minutes? How many?

[trousers]

Why is that a foul? 50/50 surely? 

[OttawaSaint]

Acaraz could take it, give Dibling a try, nope WS straight into the wall. Maddening.

[Suhari]

No plan B, and not enough shots.

I was thinking how different it might've been with JWP

[LGTL]

Perfect illustration of why we’re nailed on for relegation. Utterly fucking toothless even against 10 men for 60 minutes. 

[OttawaSaint]

Easily the better team, away from home. Lose fucking 1-0 to a gift, their only chance. Fuck I hate football...

[obelisk]

Tall Paul would at least have been a throw of the dice.

[sfc4prem]

Decent performance today! We played some superb football at times. Let's build on it.

[hypochondriac]

If we go down by a point we could point to this game and say that McCarthy has cost us. 

[Saint Fan CaM]

Bruno buying the Ref twice over.

[OttawaSaint]

Fuck off McCarthy...twat!

Madness that RM refuses to even contemplate deviating from the one predictable plan. Needs to learn and quick.

[CSA96]

Played well there. Tough defeat, would've taken a 1-0 beforehand for sure but with the way the game went, that's grating

[Sunglasses Ron]

Sigh, welcome back disappointing Saturday afternoons… 

[Dark Munster]

Tall Paul would’ve buried that
