Saints 1-1 Ipswich - Match Thread

[Saint Fan CaM]

Taking too long and too many risks now, right from the off. Keep going and we’ll lose.

As I type a massive opportunity for Archer.

[Gloucester Saint]

Well, it is going better than the cricket ODI. I can predict the Harry Brook presser afterwards ‘It’s the way we play’

[Bad Wolf]

Archer did brilliantly to get that chance. But he also should have scored it. Evens itself out IMO.

Our success rate with strikers is absolute shit. We should have had 3, and that is not on Martin. 

SR need a specialist scout in that area.

[OttawaSaint]

Downes' ball wasn't firm enough, but a poor finish.

Che Archer...fukkk!

Che Archer 😂

You're not wrong. 

[Saint NL]

Why was that a yellow?

[Mr X]

We look a bit better without Stephens aribo smallbone AA and BBD in the side but I'm sure they will be back if not a sub 

[obelisk]

Saints have actually created the better chances. Archer will score one day I'm sure.

Yep. Martin's tactics are as much of an issue as the players doing their jobs properly. 

[Sheaf Saint]

Plenty of people writing Archer off already I see. The way the ball bounced up off the defender there, he was always going to be stretching for it so it's no surprise he couldn't get any power in the shot. He did very well to get himself into any kind of shooting position at all really.

[OttawaSaint]

Dear oh dear 6 Saints players all pointing fingers at each other. Side netting luckily.

[Saint Fan CaM]

Disgusting yellow for Bednarek there. Edit : it was to Lallana for kicking the ball away!

[Gloucester Saint]

Second half of Leics v Everton delayed due to torrential downpour - that must have been seriously heavy ☔️ 

[OttawaSaint]

Ohhhh noooo! Should be 2-0.

[Saint NL]

We are not going to get that second goal, wtf was that from fernandes

[HKsaint]

Archer missed a few chances 

[Farmer Saint]

Should have had 4, so it looks like the use of an additional attacking mid is having the desired effect.

[Sheaf Saint]

Idiot commentator reckons that was s shot from Fernandez. The replay showed he was clearly looking at Archer when he kicked the ball.

[Saint NL]

Much more like it second half, more possession, some forward play and the crowd are making noise... Keep it going

[OttawaSaint]

We've been a bit better this half.

[Saint NL]

Fernandes getting some rough treatment

[AlexLaw76]

Maybe Ross Stewart time

[Saint NL]

A triple change again? That's pretty much normal now

[OttawaSaint]

BBD, Stewart, Les on Lallana, Fraser, Archer off.

[OttawaSaint]

Come on LND!!

[obelisk]

Here's three subs to upset the balance we were getting.

[Mr X]

God not BBD! 

[Saint Fan CaM]

Think Russ has gone a bit too early with these changes.

[Sheaf Saint]

BBD on the left again.

Just, fucking... WHY!?

[Gloucester Saint]

God not BBD! 

He does look a bit like his son though. 

[OttawaSaint]

Archer was heading straight for the empty seat in the dugout but stumbled and hesitated and walked straight into the hoardings.

[OnceaSaintalwaysaSaint]

Can't argue with those subs

Agree and not the right ones imo 

[AlexLaw76]

Lallana has been very good to be fair...

[Saint NL]

Nasty tackle on Stewart, everytime someone kicks him you wonder if he's going to break

[Wsaint]

That's him out for the season

[obelisk]

Ref has lost control.

[Saint NL]

Fiiiiiiight

Two weeks, you know the drill 

[OttawaSaint]

Fucking dirty, why did Downes get a yellow?

[Saint NL]

Good to see Bednarek ready to punch someone for fouling fernandes

[OttawaSaint]

Come on, we're fucking around with it. See this out properly Saints!

Apparently you can.

[obelisk]

Ref bottles giving a 2nd yellow.

[OttawaSaint]

Sloppy sloppy sloppy. Just how beard boy loves it!

[Saint NL]

Some big tackles going in now.... Might see a red card soon

Ref clueless. Downes was just trying to break things up. Can you appeal yellow cards?

[John Boy Saint]

Sounds like Ipswich are getting agricultural!
