Bournemouth 3-1 Saints - Match Thread

[Colinjb]

Defensive lapse? So unlike us.

[obelisk]

Another goal handed to our opponents. Good quick thinking by B'muff though.

I HATE FOOTBALL

Unless Downes gets an injury, which was my point. 

 

Ball was moving when he took that freekick wasn't it?

[Guest]

Any chance we could chuck on one of those five striker we have on the bench?

Not moving but a bit away from where foul was

[Saint_clark]

Big hoof up field led to that goal. If only we're fannied about with it at the back. 

[Sheaf Saint]

How the fuck is that allowed to stand? The ball was clearly further forward from where the foul was when he took it. That's bullshit.

[OttawaSaint]

Our lot would have waited...waited....WAITED! 

And then passed it back to Bednarek...

[Sunglasses Ron]

Fuck the score, give me the possession stats!

[Saint NL]

Why didn't the last man step up? Would have been well offside.

We are getting our pants pulled down again

[AlexLaw76]

Why is he put dibbling through the middle?

Martin has just lost it

Bournemouth are fucking shite

Expand  

Not as shite as us sadly. Switched off at a free kick and one down. Embarrassing defending from a quick free kick. 

[JohnS]

Don’t matter how well we play / outplay a team - when you have a shit defence - it will continue to the same outcome 

Bloody frustrating! 
Wait for the idiots now to big up Stephens return 

[CSA96]

That was very naive from Ugochukwu for the goal

[ChrisPY]

Poor from Ugochukwu. Has to stand in front of the ball there to stop it being taken quickly. 

[macca155]

Another schoolboy error, this time Downes of all people. Never turn your back on a free kick.

JWP would never have done that.

Now they've got fire in their belly

[obelisk]

Saints in danger of being swamped now.

Feels harsh there. Ball maybe moving and lesley (I think) should have just kicked it away slightly to prevent the quick kick... Basics... And we've been punished with a really good goal. Harsh. 

[BotleySaint]

New formation not looking that smart. We are weak. Going to be 3 before half time.

[AlexLaw76]

Dibbling has no chance playing this way

Totally inexperienced player in naive mistake shocker!

[Saint_clark]

Martin logic - "Dibling is looking quality out wide for us. I know...i'll stick him through the middle so he gets crowded out and can't take on defenders one on one!"

[Disco Stu]

Looking forward to ABK joining the fray. Surely a matter of time.

[SambaMaverick]

Desperate, second to every ball, not working hard enough and not set up well enough in either direction

Shite

[Saint NL]

They're man marking Dibling out the game

He's not good enough, that's why. 

I struggle to understand why fans expect Premier League football from Championship players.

ABK and Bednarek should be starting. It's painfully obvious.

[obelisk]

Not a yellow? Ref's giving them everything.

Not harsh when it’s happening in some form every game. Can’t score often and giving dreadfully soft goals away like that.

Expand  

Yep. Because we are playing again without a striker, because far too many times the oppo scores with their first shot on target

[Osvaldorama]

This formation is awful. 
 

Aimless, no target. Never gonna score like this 

[LeG]

The free kick is taken no where near where the foul was. How had no one picked up on that?????

[Southner]

How's the ref not called the free kick back to be taken where the foul was made. 

Foul looked weak, too.

[stknowle]

Just ONE schoolboy lapse in concentration at an opposition FK from still being in the hunt for a point.

What is the relevance of all that to HB being asleep? You're losing it with your hatred of Martin. 

[Saint_clark]

We have a freekick on our own 18 yard line and Bournemouth have a man marking our keeper behind it 😂 Russball is getting a reputation.

[obelisk]

These teams that insist on attacking Saints with pace rather than fannying around with the ball in their own half just aren't playing fair.

[badgerx16]

Losing to a team sponsored by a bj.

[BotleySaint]

Slicing through us with every attack. So many passes at the back already that almost went wrong. We've learned  nothing.

THB has been very disappointing so far this season. Clearly £20m buys you the modern day Jos Hooiveld.

[Baird of the land]

Depressing winning fk’s in their half when our plan is to pass the ball backwards till we lose it

I don’t hate him. Just calling what is the inevitable.

 

[Saint_clark]

Dibling needs to learn that if he gets kicked in the back of the leg when he's running away from someone, he goes down. 

[Saint NL]

Is the extent of our tactics "give the ball to Dibling"?

That's pathetic 

[Harry_SFC]

This weird formation isn't working. 

[washsaint]

Goal should never have stood - the ball was miles from the foul spot and still moving.  But what is that bloody lineup he's put out there?  No striker and why sign COrnet?  He looks as useless as AA and BBD.
