Saints 1-1 Ipswich - Match Thread

[Mr X]

You can't miss four or five chances at this level 

[SouSaint]

Martin out. 

[adrian lord]

Oh dear. I hate this league. 

[Saint NL]

The seven minutes added on killed us. 

 

All over

[AlexLaw76]

Standard 

Martin out 

[obelisk]

Always leave a player upfield when defending a corner. So bloody simple.

[OttawaSaint]

If we could get in a striker who can hit a wide open net we'd do a lot better. Che Archer! Wasters!

[Jimmy_D]

Cheated out of that by a bunch of worthless cheating ****s and a woeful ref.

[Ball boy]

The squad depth looks better but nearly every sub made us worse.

[Convict Colony]

jesus we really are fucked.

[HKsaint]

Martin out waiting for inevitable 

[hypochondriac]

A point that feels like an awful defeat. 

[ChristopheVAFC]

Additional time is definitely not working for us this weekend 😭

Feel sorry for Martin. What a pathetic squad of players.

You feel sorry for the manager that only plays one way. Has no plan B and is more interested in knobbing his mrs.....

[obelisk]

Saints had plenty of chances to score a second but yet again fluffed their chances.

[saintant]

If you miss chances you at least have to kill off these types of games. We didn't.

Ridiculous knee-jerk reaction.

We absolutely bossed the second half. Nothing wrong with the tactics today at all.

We failed to win because we didn't take our chances. You can't blame the manager for that.

[hypochondriac]

Got spanked for me first half and we're lucky to go in winning. We're the better team second half and they got a jammy equaliser at the death. 

[Saint86]

Ross Stewart should never have been on the pitch. All that pressure from his needless foul/free kick. Added nothing at all.

[Mr X]

It's going to prove a decisive two points dropped or three realistically

Can’t blame him for the last bit. Im more interested in knobbing his missus than saints too. 

[bpsaint]

Feels like a loss that. We are so fucking shit.

[saintant]

Could have been sat in 16th position.

[Saint NL]

Feels like a loss. But we move up a place in the table.

 

Performance was better second half, definitely some signs of improvement. But we need to see that game out and claim the win.

[Osvaldorama]

Fucking shite. 

Boring sideways negative crap as usual. 
 

Barely create any chances and when we do we’ve managed to sign the worst collection of attackers ever

Hardly a knee jerk, been saying it for a while.

whilst we bossed the 2nd half, we most certainly didn’t in the 1st.

 

[Baird of the land]

Not addressing striker situation properly and you end up starting dross like archer. 

[Ralph Fastenbüttl]

Can't blame RM or Russball for that - we created more than enough chances to finish this one off and that equaliser was flukey bullshit. The gameplan worked, but the players failed us. Again and again and again.

Well we did, didn't we. It was 1-0 at HT.

[qwertyell]

Oof - that feels like a defeat.

But we're on the board. Baby steps and all that.

I suspect we've just seen two of this season's relegated clubs.

[saintant]

Why do we always seem to concede late goals either at the end of the first half or end of matches?

[woodsaint1]

Why is nobody at the edge of the box for when its cleared 🤷‍♂️ basic stuff fs

[stknowle]

 Well that was infuriating.

Virtually inevitable when 7 minutes went up which was fucking ridiculous.

Which again comes down to recruitment. Especially strikers - two relegations it will be now caused by that to a large extent.

[Saint NL]

If Archer tapped in that chance instead of hitting the post, we'd have won that comfortably. 

Bournemouth got stuffed today, let's hope we pick up more points there.

Fernandes off, a close second best player on the pitch after Dibling.

Expand  

He's been good, but Ramsdale's saves have been superb 

[CanadaSaint]

The "D" is one of the most dangerous places on the pitch, and we left it wide open. Unfrickingbelievable.

[Tauro]

Martin has absolutely no ability to manage a game of football. It cost us today and it will cost us until he is sacked.

 

Dibling and fernandes are a class above.

Because 90% of the coaching effort goes into learning Russball and not defending properly or attacking with intent or shooting accurately. Apparently.

7 mins for them and us. They managed them better than us. 

[Saint NL]

Watching their goal again, we have no one at the edge of the box and 6 (six) players around him when it's hit. 

Unlucky the deflection goes right in the top corner. We deserved to win that.

At the end of the season, how many teams do you think will get worse result at home against Ipswich?

Playing the whole game in our own half might have something to do with it..
