Brentford 3-1 Saints - Match Thread

[Mr X]

Same old story really too much messing around at the back and not posing any threat on goal! 

[SNSUN]

Jack header needed to be on target there

[Sheaf Saint]

Stephens should at least hit the target there. Very poor header.

How for the life of me is Aribo and Smallbone on the pitch when there is much more quality sat on the bench, defies logic.

Aribo has been carrying the ball and mixing up the few attacks we have. Smallbone just can't keep up.

[AlexLaw76]

Of course, we need to remove a CB and smallbone at HT for Fernandes and Les.....

No chance will russ do that

[Saint NL]

I've watched Toney sitting in the stands more than Saints attacking 😂

Ipswich 1-1 Fulham

Leicester 0-1 Villa

I'm fairly convinced Fernandes, Archer or Cornet will come in for Smallbone and Aribo at some point.

[Sheaf Saint]

I'm gonna go against the herd here and say I think Aribo has actually played alright so far. 

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Just before we started running out of funds to buy Old Firm players a few seasons ago, Ajer was one I was disapointed we didn;t go in for.

Why not start with your best players?

And he's still been more mobile than BBD.

[The Kraken]

At this point I’m just hoping we can get to 60 minutes at 0-0 and then bring others on. Poor midfield players, poor formation that is giving Brentford CBs no bother at all. One of their defenders was crocked for about 10 minutes before getting hooked and we still offered nothing.

This is really shit.

I can guarantee Cornet will not come on.

[Saint NL]

Oh so close, Armstrong needs to shoot.

Maybe a foul??

[OttawaSaint]

Why didn't AA go down???

[Farmer Saint]

Just now, Saint Billy said:

Because it takes time to get used to our system. 

[Disco Stu]

Armstrong too honest there. 

[obelisk]

Armstrong looked like he was clipped. Good chance goes begging.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Oh, just picked off of AA's feet there.

[SNSUN]

Arse

[Saint NL]

That's a clear foul, Armstrong needs to be clever there

[Micky]

Damn

[Lee On Solent Saint]

And there it is

[obelisk]

KWP having a 'mare as well.

Well that's clearly Russell's dodgy plan.

[lambtiss]

Armstrong needed to shoot earler there

[AlexLaw76]

I fucking hate this formation / set up

[Viking Saint]

Fucking shit

[stknowle]

Armstrong just ain’t got it at this level. Never will have. 

[OttawaSaint]

Fuck off RM Fannyball.

Cunt!

[Wade Garrett]

Fuck off 

[Saint NL]

1-0, another fuck up at the back

[Disco Stu]

I fucking hate Russball.

On Toney sitting I was about to type

"The cameraman saw a static player, and thought it was our midfield."

[Baird of the land]

Thb has been poor this season

[BotleySaint]

Passing around at the back working out well then... 

[SouSaint]

Yeah, Martin's style of play is going to see us absolutely embarrassed this season. Absolutely shocking defending, shocking defensive recruitment this summer. 

[Sunglasses Ron]

Clucking bell.

[The Kraken]

Fucking crap

[Saint NL]

THB with the fuck up, he's been well off colour

[SNSUN]

I hope this is the last time we see this line up. It doesn't work

[Sheaf Saint]

So predictable.

[Mr X]

It was always coming 

[Farmer Saint]

I think the issue is it solved our defensive issues at the end of last season and pretty much got us promoted. 

But yes, it's not worked in the last 2 games. 

[OttawaSaint]

Twice we fanny and give it away. They fluffed the first one, not the second.

When will RM learn?

[Master Bates]

[Saint_clark]

Fucking useless cunt Martin

[Saint Fan CaM]

And there you have it. Stupidity at its zenith. We’ll lose this now 100%.

[Saint Matty 76]

It's just stupid man, indefensible not to adapt to the new situation.
