Cardiff 3-5 Saints - Match Thread

[Harry_SFC]

Fernandes has been the best player on the pitch so far IMO.

[Saint Fan CaM]

Tell you what - I hope RM rewards these lads with EPL starting minutes because they bloody well deserve it.

[Gloucester Saint]

Three very attractive goals, two by us and one thunderous, pure strike from them. Enjoying this so far. 

[Nordic Saint]

Brilliant night for Saints' fans so far. Ramsdale and most of the team playing tonight should start in league games.

[trousers]

Assume we'll see some early rotation from Russ as there's at least 4 players here that need to go straight into the starting 11 on Saturday....

(Yes, it's only against Cardiff's 2nd team, but... )

[santolijador]

Fernansh looks the business in the middle of the park

[Monk]

Archer literally is a like for like replacement for Mara.

Shame we didn’t play TP. 

[davefizzy14]

Fernandes is class 😊 lovely finish from Sam Amo 😊

[Saint NL]

Big Lesley hasn't really stood out yet, Fernandes looks a great buy so far

[LuckyNumber7]

Foreign commentary but this stream is working fine for me

Lesley is a monster of a DFM - I so wish we had him on a loan to perm.

And for good reason IMO... I've been watching him... He does the simple things really well and is always looking to thread a ball forwards between the lines. Most good players in this position tend to go relatively unnoticed... It tends to be when they cock up they get noticed more...

Which one on the list?

[Saint Matty 76]

Crazy seeing midfielders with a bit of drive to get forward and score a goal.

Disagree, Big Les looking super comfortable.

Late to the thread but only worldies tonight then? 😂

NativeSurge one has English commentary

Edwards good but Wood looks dodgy.

How much Wood would Edward chuck if Edward could chuck Wood?

Since I said that, he's been superb. Ok fair enough 😂

Dave easily wins the competition for watching the most delayed stream

[Hopper]

Fernandes range and choice of passing is exactly what we need. Already look more assured on the ball than Charley

I tell you what, we're going to f***ing walk the championship next season with these players

He's like a fit version of Lavia.

A bit from column A, a bit from column B for me Clive.

Also need to remember that we’re playing against Cardiff reserves here.

[The Cat]

Ryan Manning one of the stand out names on the bench according to the commentary. Yes mate, standing out for being shit.

[gio1saints]

Mateus does not pass the ball. He strokes it. 

[saintant]

Taylor was very tidy in everything he did.

Sure, but you can only play what’s in front of you and fuck it, we’ve scored goals. I’ll take it.

[Saint Billy]

Please make this the A team RM.

[SNSUN]

Not much from Archer bar the back heel but everyone else on the pitch has been pretty good. Fernandes clearly the stand out and you can tell Taylor is full of experience.

[skintsaint]

71.6% possession. RM will be happy.

Me stream has got us 3-0 up against Tranmere. Can’t wait for the second half!

[Saint Fan CaM]

71.6% possession. Attacking third 78%. Better.

[Stripey McStripe Shirt]

How good is the Cardiff team? Are they full-ish strength or made quite a few changes too?

[The Cat]

Just now, Saint Billy said:

Maybe some of these players but all 11? We'd be relegated by Xmas if we started this lot every week.

[Micky]

Decent enough first half, let's not forget the standard of the opposition though, need this to end in a comfortable away win.

[SNSUN]

We better not loan out SAA and Dibling. Both showing they have roles to play this season even from the bench.

Only 1 of their starting 11 played against Swansea at the weekend

Lots of changes, I think...!

[gio1saints]

71.6% possession. Getting nearer to that all important 96% ( that’s from a 4-0 win and four kick offs by opposing team). 😂

[Saint Billy]

Not bad for a bunch of guys that have never payed together before.

[Lighthouse]

They’ve had a good half against a somewhat dubious (currently bottom) Championship team, so let’s not get carried away. Dibling I’d keep, SAA could probably do with a season against this level of opposition.

[obelisk]

Can't really find too much to moan about in that half. Build up to their goal was a clear offside but good strike. Some of our passing around our own penalty area gives me the willies but no problems so far.

Indeed. Big Les, Fernandes, Dibbling  looking like first team starters to me. (In for Stephens, Aribo, Smallbone) with Amo being first attacking replacement off the bench (ahead of Edozie)

[The Kraken]

Well, I feared a Gillingham and it’s definitely not that. 

I like that our nippers seem quite fearless. They’ve made their share of mistakes but it’s been largely positive, looking to pass and get forward quickly and effectively.

Not particularly expecting any of these to break the first team immediately. But a decent showing at least that our reserves give a little bit more of a shit than their counterparts did this time last year.

11 changes too. Their 2nd stream

[Harry_SFC]

Edozie needs to be loaned out and get a full season in the Championship, like Charles. SAA has really shown him up tonight.
