Saints 2-3 Leicester - Match Thread

[saintant]

Taylor will add a chunk of injury time and they'll score a winner during it.

[BotleySaint]

Clear handball by us there right infront of the ref. He's awful!! 

[Sheaf Saint]

It's all very well pointing the finger at the ref, and he has been terrible no doubt, but in all honesty we've played shit today and don't deserve anything from this game.

Well said HK my old pal.

He won't be sacked though. i don't think SR will want to pay him off. 

[swingworkstheoracle]

Paul looks absolutely huge at least

Brought on the totally wrong player.

surely we have a full back on the bench instead of Frazer

We had all 3 of them starting.

As you do...

If they don’t he will put it in the net for them 

[obelisk]

Tall Paul causing a lot of trouble but ref can't see when his shirt gets pulled off his back.

[Saint NL]

I honestly forgot that Smallbone came on

Taylor. But we like to be clever and play a 58 year old winger there when we need to shut up shop.

But isn't Taylor left footed? So he'll be on the wrong side. 

Unless you then put KWP at RB?

So what minute is it happening then? I'm going 94th

Put me down for 97th

[BotleySaint]

I knew we'd struggle this year but it's definitely worse than I imagined.

We simply can't defend. No quality in there. 

[Mr X]

So if two nil isn't enough for us and we rarely even score two goals.... What hope have we got?

See, management isn't that hard.

[BranfootsLoveChild]

Im quite surprised how biased the commentators are towards Leicester on the stream I've got. Nearly creamed his pants when Vardy scored the pen!!

Seems clear that whomever is manager we are way short of the standard required. Another manager could help it be slightly less embarrassing though.

[Daft Kerplunk]

Even if the ref has been very questionable, from 2-0 up at home, we should not be drawing or losing this match. Bad substitutions. Not set up properly in the second half.

The Southampton equation:

OS = AoT + 2

Where:

OS is opposition score

AoT is Added on Time

[obelisk]

7 minutes. Ref must have a packet on a Leicester win.

[Saint NL]

Seven minutes injury time, gulp

[Saint_clark]

Says it all that both goals were conceded within a few minutes of Martin's subs.

[skintsaint]

Long ball nearly works there

[Saint NL]

Sulemana needs to do better there, that was the chance

[Saint NL]

That's handball, surely

 

Edit: nah maybe not

Nowhere near it 

[SNSUN]

Whilst it probably won't happen, if we win this it will be one of the sweetest victories we've had in years. 

I refer back to the second to fifth words of that sentence.

Long ball, big man flicks on to quick winger. Russ trying this in the last 5 minutes of his tenure.

[HKsaint]

Sack RM and find one who can better use Tall Paul

Did you cut and paste that from a past match thread?

[swingworkstheoracle]

Make Paul captain and player-manager for the next game

[Ball boy]

Subs were terrible. Smallbone is terrible.

[Turkish]

The advantage of 10 men for 20 mins and still not winning 🤦🤦🤦

[obelisk]

Jeez! Saints just have no idea how to defend at all. Lucky.

[Mr X]

Does anyone actually wan't to hear Any waffle from Martin after this game? 

Edited 19 October, 2024 by Mr X

[Bad Wolf]

Tall Paul has been incredible since he came on.

[Saint NL]

So very lucky to still be 2-2. Inches

A RB at RB, and a LB at LB? That'll never catch on. 

[BotleySaint]

Coming up to the time of their next goal. Last minute etc

[John Boy Saint]

There we go

[Sheaf Saint]

And there it is.

Bye Russ.

[Mr X]

Fuck off Martin 

[SNSUN]

Unbelievable. And yet not Unbelievable at all.

Bye Russ.

[northam soul]

You absolute fucking bellends. 

[saintant]

Very predictable.
