Saints 3-2 Stoke - Match Thread

[Micky]

Need at least one more to sort this one out. 

[Appy]

Great goal by the Carabao Cafu

[stknowle]

A crack-paperer of a finish if ever there was one.

Ramsdale plays like he has 2 left feet. What an odd signing considering that.

You were saying that the day we signed him I’m sure

[Saint_clark]

Bree should be starting at RB given Sugawaras drop off.

[Suhari]

So

Do we reckon RM will try to paint this as a good performance?

[danjosaint]

Unmarked on edge of box again

It's the fun Russ promised.

[coalman]

Mark the edge of the box

[whelk]

Commentator “quite literally queuing up to score” no they weren’t

He can’t do post match I think. 

[jasonbenali]

Can't believe no one was defending the edge of the box on that late corner?!

[Saint_clark]

Still nobody on the edge of the box when defending corners then.

I did, yes.

A masterclass from BBD since he came on

World class braveness

Maybe he will send the drawing he was sketching?

[John Boy Saint]

What is it with defending corners with all 11 in the 6 yard box - that’s like pulling a pin out of grenade and dropping it down the front of your trousers!

[obelisk]

Saints defending is hilariously bad.

Ahhh. We were shit because he wasn't on the touchline to guide us.

Think it is Henrik Kraft. One of the Rasmus set and a board member if it is him. Says it all.

Kraft is the biggest cheese of all.,

FFS why didn't he pass it.

He's just guaranteed being dropped for the next game.

How do you search on this fucking forum? I'm trying to find it.

[Saint_clark]

Funny how none of their players are getting cramp anymore.

[whelk]

Those there tonight won’t forget this five goal thriller in a hurry

Never seen a player from a losing team get cramp.

[saintant]

Whatever Martin coaches at Staplewood it certainly aint football and will never replace it.

[Jack]

Shame we’ve won this really. A confidence boosting win would’ve been fine, this just papers over more of Russball’s colossal cracks. 
 

Shocking

If anything this is a confidence eroding win.

[Mr X]

Martin will definitely spin this result into being a result of his genius 

[obelisk]

Saints slaughtered them on the possession stats so Russell will be delighted.

I wonder if he'd have gone, had we lost it?

Christ on a bike though: we're totally shit. I'm so done with the crap that is RussBall.

[Lighthouse]

Decent cup tie, when all’s said and done. Into the QFs we go.

[Mr X]

Just now, Jack said:

Can't remember him doing anything at all 

[Saint NL]

Let's hope for a good draw in the next round. 

So many bad performances tonight, very lucky to scrape through in a game we should have been comfortable

Against Stoke’s reserves yeah, whatever floats your boat I suppose 

[Saint_clark]

Co-commentator wraps up his day of evidencing that he doesn't know what he's talking about with "James Bree won't score a better goal than that", when he scored a better goal than that in an earlier round of this competition.

[Saint86]

Can only echo what others have said. That was a poor team performance and will certainly have damaged the confidence of our defensive players. Very poor in an attacking sense as well. A lucky shot, a soft pen, and a free header being our only real threatening chances. Stoke's reserves probably made the better attacking chances tbh.

[RedWillie]

How the hell we got through that is beyond me. That 2nd half was sh@t.

[saintant]

Martin has the tactical brain of a goldfish.

[Harry_SFC]

Bree definitely deserves a premier league start. He's underrated IMO.

[Tanlee]

Never in doubt, surely our academy produces better players than Lesley, do we really need poor loan players taking up spaces and confusing Russ even more

Remember seeing him play in the Millwall friendly and thought he was shiiite then. Nothing he's done this season has changed my mind.

[sandwichsaint]

I don't think he'll be sacked, relegation is priced in, SR won't want to pay out yet more compo for another failed manaer, they see RM as being able to get another promotion.

The fans are just collateral damage, we couldn't go down with 'nine' points could we?

[Challenger]

A win, but far from being a confidence booster it was a complete and utter joke of a performance .
