Saints 0-1 Forest - Match Thread

[OttawaSaint]

No one actually in the center forward position.

[gio1saints]

AA is working his bollocks off.Criticising him is just plain stupid. We need a central striker.

Scared to take a risk whenever we get in a promising position we play it backwards again! 

It's the result of such a poor first half - fear takes over.

Because we don't have a centre forward.

This performance is so far removed from last weeks its difficult to understand its the same 11 out there.

 

No goals last week after an hour against ten men.

No goals this week, so far, what's different?

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Better, to get a corner.

[Saint NL]

Shocking corner 😔

How many transfer windows is it now that we haven't properly addressed this omission...?

True, weird how we are not scared of aimlessly taping it about in front of our own goal but don't want to get it forwards quickly 

[trousers]

KWP running the show again 

[Saint NL]

Much better stuff now

Yeah started well. Make it count Saints.

[Saint NL]

Forest look a bit rattled here, need to take advantage

[Mr X]

Playing better without looking remotely dangerous in front of goal 

[trousers]

This has got 0-0 written all over it

Get Smallbone off.

[Harry_SFC]

I'd get Stephens off for Archer now and stick one of the new boys in midfield. 

[OttawaSaint]

Time to get WS off. One of the new mids on please.

[Mr X]

We need to make the improvement in our play count just no cutting edge near goal 

[stknowle]

Smallbone 🤦‍♂️ 

[Sheaf Saint]

Terrible giveaway from Smallbone there.

[gio1saints]

Still got weakness in MF. Good run by bbd.

basically we need to steal a 1-0 out of this match…

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Downes caught out there. Will gets a soft free kick to get it back.

[Harry_SFC]

Smallbone is having an absolute shocker 

[SNSUN]

Russ needs to stop thinking about Lucy's knockers and start thinking about subs.

[adrian lord]

 BBC has us on 63% possession. I’m surprised reading through the thread.

We are not a prem team FACT - Possession wont work - Back down this season, That's why I didn't renew ST, nothing worse than seeing our team get out played every game.

[trousers]

Feels like we're playing for the draw here 

[gio1saints]

Looks like Sam and others warming up 

[hypochondriac]

The longer we go without scoring the more difficult this season is going to be. We've needed a proper striker for ages. 

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Driving run from BBD. Bypasses Will, who simply isn;t going to get invoved in anything that direct today. 🙂

Possession means nothing if you don't do something with it.

I’m at the match singing and cheering much as I can. Thanks for your support.

Look Russ, if you are banging Lucy in a certain position and it working, change things up a bit. 

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Sugawar going for something different there. Dirct down the line. Will again bypassed in such a move.

Lots and lots of passing back and sideways with no end product.

If all you do is pass it sideways and backwards you will get high posession % - Forest are 4-1 in shots on target.

[obelisk]

Still time for Saints to screw something up.

[HKsaint]

Smallbone again

[saintant]

Where is the bravery RM keeps talking about?

Totally agree. Does not help with the strikers we do have spend most of the time hugging the touchline

we have been very poor this game, poor set up from a bang average manager

i mean, how the heck is Smallbone still on the pitch

If you don't you'll end up spanking your monkey.
