Brentford 3-1 Saints - Match Thread

[whelk]

Fernandes looks a great signing 

[Saint_clark]

Fernandes good touch, turn and run and we find ourselves all the way up the pitch nearly getting a shot on goal.

[Sheaf Saint]

Straight away Fernandes looks to get us moving up the pitch and instantly makes us look better.

[SaintsBarry74]

I know most of you rate RM highly, but personally, all this possession for possession's sake is utter shite.

[Saint NL]

Diblings coming on

[Saint Matty 76]

Dibling! 

433. Let's hope we look better.

[Baird of the land]

Thank goodness tbh off finally

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Ah, we've changed it around.

A couple of nearly, form decent through passes.

A bit much to expect Archer to beat 4 players and score though. Zero support for him.

[LGTL]

Fernandes about 800x the player of Smallbone. Embarrassing really 

[Viking Saint]

Dibling on for THB. RM signalling 4231

[Saint Fan CaM]

Thank fuck. Aribo the slug is off.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Dibling on the way...

I don’t think he’s rated by many Saints fans at all.

[Saint_clark]

THB off, Stephens left on to cost us the game.

[Saint Fan CaM]

Ramsdale keeps us in in it…again. Defence all over the shop.

[Sheaf Saint]

THB making way again.

He's not been at his best at all yet this season. Is he carrying an injury or something?

I was happy with the job he did last year, but if he continues in this way and refuses to adapt then he shouldn't be here.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

THB on a yellow off. Stephens will naturally stay on, able to use his versatility to support everyone else.

As I type, Ramsdale out sharpish.

Maybe Kompany knew the PL was a stretch too far for him?

Yeah it's an embarrassment to RM as is not starting Big Les and Archer.

It's his third Premiership game. Give him time

[obelisk]

THB has looked awful this season. Looks like any talent has been coached out of him.

I think just young and new to this level.

And playing a system which is absolutely unforgiving for a young centre back.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

"Martin and Gill hopign they can engineer an equlaiser."

as they look at the pad of paper, and realise every option is riddled with errors.

No, he looks like a young player, making his PL debut in a struggling team.

He done a job in the championship and the club should have known his limitations at a higher level. I think most of us knew his one way of playing wouldn't be well suited to the premier league!

A formation we only played twice last season as well so it's not as if we're well drilled in it. 

[Saint Fan CaM]

OMG somehow Aribo stays on.

[Saint NL]

Dibling doesn't look out of place in the PL. 

Fernandes also

Honestly he hasn't done much wrong today.

Did he fuck your Mrs or something?

He really hasn't been that bad today.

[The Kraken]

Nando looks brilliant.

[OttawaSaint]

You'd think RM would have learned after that time he got 0 points on mastermind.

Pass...pass...pass...pass...pass...

He's been ok, there have been worse out there.

[Patches O Houlihan]

Fernandez has to start the next game

 

[Lighthouse]

We're beating Man Utd in the cricket at least.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

It looks as though we're on the front foot. But this is also Brentford protecting a lead, and dropping back, waiting for that counter.

Expand  

I actually like him more on the right side of midfield, so he can cut inside and open up his full range of passing. If he cuts inside on the left he can only reliably pass backwards.

[CB Fry]

Smallbone and Armstrong waving goodbye to their starting positions.

[Lee On Solent Saint]

Oh just fuck the fuck off

So you are happy with how things are going ?

Expand  

Obviously not, but only last night the general consensus was that we have had a very good, positive TW. Come on here to follow the game and I feel like slitting my wrists! The manager and most of the players are useless F+cking C*nts according to the majority.Just three games in....two away from home.....quite a big turnover in the squad. I think that we need to be a bit patient and not give up after two and a half games......

[obelisk]

Brentford so much quicker around the final third. Saints attack at walking pace.

[SNSUN]

Game over

[Viking Saint]

FUCKING AGAIN!!! 😡😡😡😡😡
