Brentford 3-1 Saints - Match Thread

[OttawaSaint]

3-0. Brentford have looked out of sorts too. Will be a very short season. Down by Xmas at this rate.

[BotleySaint]

This is going to be a big loss.

Can't see Brentford holding back. 

[Holmes_and_Watson]

And the third.

[Disco Stu]

I'm done watching this calamity. I can't see how this team can stay up under this manager.

I can see a comeback, we are sucking them into a sense of complacency

well the season has started and in 3 games AA , Macca and RM are being torn apart. 

I am as frustrated as anyone but we mustn't turn on ourselves 

Yeah but  that's what you've got to do these days

[obelisk]

Odds shortening on RM getting the sack.

[CB Fry]

We played away at a team in red and white the day after last years’ summer window closed as well.

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......

I don’t.  Better to get rid of the manager now rather than pointlessly preserve with him.

 

[Sunglasses Ron]

Don’t worry, this is our Sunderland away moment for this season.

25 game unbeaten run incoming…

[saintant]

Just get rid of this stubborn clown now.

[6ft8saint]

Piss poor russ ball making us look a joke all over the pitch

[jamesfp1]

We're done for

[Saint Fan CaM]

Fuck me - 3-0. Worse than anyone could possibly have predicted. How to turn the positivity of a great window into a shitshow.

[Saint Scott]

He's got to give up this shit at the back. It's cost us every week so far.

I'd be happy for him to be gone tonight as harsh as that sounds..... He isn't going to change or learn so we may as well pull the trigger! 

[niceandfriendly]

We are so brave.

Nurse! He's out of his room again!

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Well worked from Brentford. But a really simple one to be conceding from. Done by a long throw. >sigh<

[Wsaint]

Ramsdales lawyers franticly looking for the 14 day cancellation clause

[VectisSaint]

Time to unleash Lallana

That’s fucking terrible.

I was thinking that Russ would eventually get sacked in November.

It's still August FFS

Just think how much more complacent they'll be after their next couple of goals. 🙂 

[Saint_clark]

Hope Russell enjoys his handjob from Stephens tonight. 

[Colinjb]

So desperately bad. 

[6ft8saint]

They need to change him now before the 15 goal striker last season gets sold

[Lighthouse]

Do we need a new keeper?

I’m not sure what the rules are. Bazunu got crucified conceding two from slightly closer and more central at Ipswich.

[HKsaint]

We need to score 

[niceandfriendly]

Brentford fans jeering Ramsdale like he had anything to do with any of the goals 😂

Who did the awful header towards our own goal? 

[Saint_clark]

Brentford fans taking the piss out of Ramsdale but his passing has been fine. It's the idiots in front of him that can't assess risk.

I know, they are such suckers 

[stknowle]

Brentford ain’t even that good. We are gonna get utterly monstered by the good teams. We WILL NOT survive if we keep setting up and playing like this.

Oh, I thought you said "Unleash the llamas." Still, hopefully we'll do better in the replay.

[LGTL]

Was always a disaster waiting to happen in this league. A “positive” few minutes against 10 men wasn’t changing that, as much as some of you liked to hope.

This. Even one consolation would give us a bit of confidence going into the International break.

Absolutely would sack him tonight. Use the international break to get someone else in. It's pathetic the way be play. 

I would have sacked him at half-time.  I would make him make his own fucking way home as well.  
He’s a fucking onion.

[Lee On Solent Saint]

Frank is everything Martin isn't in a manager. 

[OldNick]

I hate losing but you lot on here are incredible. A bunch of ingrates who throw their dummies out of the pram. Werent doing that in May.

It was obvious we were not a PL team, we finished 4th. 

I know you wont like the truth but to give up after 3 , yes 3 games!!!!!

[Saint_clark]

Can't believe there's an international break after 3 sodding games.

[Micky]

The taters on the stream i am watching are basically saying exactly what everybody on here is saying, we play suicidal football, it will only get us relegated.  If others can see it so easily, why can't RM?

[saintant]

Wrong starting line up which was obvious to everyone but Russ. Midfield should have been Downes, Fernandez and Big Les and Archer should have been played through the middle. You've been rumbled Russ.

[obelisk]

Every time Brentford attack they do so with pace and look dangerous almost every time. Saints slow and predictable.

[verlaine1979]

This is shameful. We're not even *good* at playing out from the back. Bednarek has always been shit at it. We move is so slowly that every pass is played under close pressure. That isn't how it's meant to work! Both Forest and now Brentford have popped it around with much greater speed and accuracy than we can muster.

[Suhari]

Is anyone chanting "Your tactics are shit" yet?

[hypochondriac]

There's going to be real seething hatred for him if we do this every game and he refuses to change.
