Wolves 2-0 Saints - Match Thread

[Mr X]

Looking like we need to score twice in the second half!

[Saintsfan79]

This is the best I've seen us play in last 3 seasons and we're losing!! Feel like we're 2/3 signings away from being very good playing manager's philosophy. 

[trousers]

6 minutes added time...

[Alwightmush]

Wolves are shite but somehow we still cannot create anything.

We're so frustrating to watch.

[Saint NL]

When Dibling comes on at half time, it'll help a lot because we need someone to run with the ball. There's an awful lot of space if we can make use of it

[AlexLaw76]

Losing against this Wolves side today should be a sackable offence. They are appalling. Yet we have not tested their keeper (beyond the VAR decision)

[Obstacle1]

I wish we had 3 Fernandeses in midfield

The most Saints performance you could hope to see.

Concede avoidable goal.

Loads of possession.

Create nothing.

This is me saying this BTW ever the optimist. It’s the same every game we played really well once we iron out the mistakes we will be fine. FFS I’m sick of hearing how well we are playing with fuck all result. Yes I’ve had enough. 
mind you I think even a new manager isnt going to make any difference

[obelisk]

No yellow for that foul on Lallana?

That tends to be how winning from a goal down works...

Over 70% possession but still not giving their 'keeper too much to worry about. Pretty good control from

Have we given him anything to do?

How else do you describe a position of a player for a match if not for where they were for the majority of the match? His in possession position is in midfield and we've had possession for 72% of the match so far. 

I don't believe in position. I beleive in fluid sexy football!

He’s a decent prospect isn’t he?

But we won’t - most time will be spent in our half.

It's this kind of expertise that keeps me coming back.

This is a significant admission.

The players don't know that though!

MLG mode. But time continues so it's just the passing of time. I can't be added or subtracted.

[Farmer Saint]

We're by far the better team, but that doesn't mean much.

Another joke decision from the ref though.

*checks notes*

No...no we haven't...

[Osvaldorama]

Anyone else bored? 
 

Dunno if it’s just me or if this style of football. Feels like we create no excitement 

[Saint Matty 76]

Can't find myself too annoyed about that half outside of the early conceded goal, played well and scored a perfectly fine goal only for VAR nonsense to take place

Sadly can't see us creating enough to win the game though. Hope he makes the Onuachu move early because Archer is doing nothing

[Lee On Solent Saint]

Armstrong is fuckin gash

[Saint_Jonny]

Wolves are shit. They are always shit when we play them yet they find a way to an unlikely victory. Saints playing well for me, if this carries on we won't lose. 

[Jack]

I predict more of the same in the 2nd half, with a 2nd goal conceded on the break. Wolves are rubbish but we’re worse 

[tdmickey3]

Way ahead on possession, goals are overrated and not required in this brave process. 

Its nicely on track

Yeah have been the whole season. Pointless football 

[Disco Stu]

We're far too predictable. I can spot our next pass seconds before we make it.

Russell Martin said we would have some fun, so the problem is clearly with us.

Yeah. Went and made another cup of coffee and some scrambled egg and toast. Probably didn't miss anything.

In the past I'd have been glued to the action. The lack of action is increasing my apathy.

[Saint NL]

I'm not sure where a goal will come from.

A THB header from a corner looks most likely right now...

[jamesfp1]

Aribo and Stephens have won this for Wolves.

So can most the opposition players

[BotleySaint]

71% possession! Winning!

[Mr X]

Crazy that we conceded under two minutes 

[benjii]

I feel sorry for Martin. We're comfortably the better team. We've given a goal away due to a brain fart from one of our better players, and we've had a good goal wrongly disallowed.

Absolutely no reason why we can't win this. Wolves fans are jittery as fuck.

Tyler on at half time please 😊

[obelisk]

Saints passing seems a bit more crisp but not much idea in the final third yet again. VAR screwed us and THB missed with a free header. Beyond that Wolves defence not troubled too much.

[trousers]

Decent first half from us. Should be on level terms of it wasn't for a dire VAR decision. Still confident we'll come away from the game with something.

I hope your right but we haven't exactly tested their goal keeper 

[Obstacle1]

Tall Paul on for Archer and dibling for someone...

[FarehamSaintJames]

Name one thoroughly decent player in the entire Saints squad? Ramsdale? Maybe Matty Fernandes from what we’ve seen so far.

KWP has been so off it this season. Flynn Downes has been shambolic ever since he signed permanent.

You look at that bench for players that could change the game, and there just isn’t anyone.

Absolutely this. Awful VAR decision!

Our strike force suggests otherwise.

A repeat of the perfectly good goal that Manning scored perhaps...? 

[davefizzy14]

Would like to see Onuachu on at half time too.

Quite clever of Russ to play for a 0-0 when we're already 1 down. 😃
