Wolves 2-0 Saints - Match Thread

[coalman]

The VAR giveth and the VAR taketh away. On the plus side at least we haven't folded after the decision. 

[Saint-Reece]

I hope I’m not the only one who thinks we have actually played OK? (apart from the KWP brainfart of course)

[obelisk]

Get Tall Paul in amongst those jittery Wolves defenders and put in a cross or two when we get in range. So much possession but not creating much so far.

[saintant]

71% possession, zero shots on target tells you all you need to know about Russball. It's mind numbingly dull and does not work.

And defence

Midfield

Martin and his ludicrous subs

Referee and VAR

[Wade Garrett]

Can’t lose against this lot.  They are playing fucking dogshit.

Aribo needs to start fucking running instead of jogging about, fucking lazy cunt.

[Saint NL]

Saints have played alright for the most part, just a real lack of cutting edge.

Maybe today is the day that Sam AA gets some game time and shows what he can do.

It's not football, it's just pointiess wanking without ejaculation.

Zero shots on target tells a different story.

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

I'm completely board each game at St Mary's. OK last season as we had a decent amount of shots over the season. But the style and tactics dictates, stop, wait,  pass then repeat until pass back to keeper. The few dribbles and runs forward  we have don't end up with a shot on target.  Wolves are not a top 10 team so that's our bench mark for aggressive attacking football.

[SNSUN]

With nothing based on this but blind faith and hope, I've stuck a twenty on Saints getting something out of this game.

Fernandes Ramsgate sugawara KWP(today aside) are the only premier league quality players really

Surely the perfectly good goal we scored was on target...? (Yes, I know it gets scrubbed off statistically, but it was still a shot on goal, regardless)

[pingpong]

Wolves looked like they were running on empty, even lallana was puffing less - best we've played this season so far.  Same again second half and we should edge closer to the 13pt target.

Have faith. We'll win this 2-1...

Wolves ar backing off and allowing us all of the park further than 20 yards from their goal, and we are stacking up the sideways passes, but we have had zero attempts on target.

We need Tall Paul

I agree with this HK my old pal. We are actually knocking it around quite nicely and working decent positions but what is the feckin point when we just don’t or can’t go for the jugular and get it in the box and/or have bodies in there to aim for? TP would at least give us someone to aim balls into.

If you need to get rid of some cash I can help you with that.

This is the concern. We're playing the team that's condeded the most goals this season by some distance and we're looking pretty toothless. I think we've been shafted by VAR but that has been our only moment. Jose Sa hasn't had to make a save.

And growing a pair and putting a strong tackle in … total bottle job.

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.

Coaching is making it that way

How? Everton goal was offside.

[Disco Stu]

I hope Suhari chose the BJ bar.

[OneMrsWallace]

Right. Second half against the only team who were below us at 3pm. Absolutely go for it. If we lose I at least want to see stats saying 15 shots at goal, six on target and less than 50% possession- otherwise Martin can fuck off. 

[Saint Fan CaM]

We’ll not get anything from this except a snooze fest of passing across the back line. Wolves will score again on the break - it’s Russball law.

Agree with this.

Absolutely no reason to give it a good go

[NewYorkSaint]

We're the better team. Hopefully the second half will allow justice to be served.  (And please... we need some dibling dribbling.)

[davefizzy14]

Tyler is on 😊

[gammon cheeks]

Wolves are utter gash! If we dont beat them we may aswell give up !

Zero shots on target!

[tdmickey3]

Random and head scratching subs on 60 - 65 minutes 

[hypochondriac]

We were mostly shit first half last week. We've effectively wasted a half playing the tram we did. Dibling should have started with Armstrong on the left. 

[Saint NL]

Manning off, thought he did ok today

Scored a goal, not allowed. Was disallowed, yes, but rules are rules. A risky backpass to Bednarek was on and he ignored it.

Fernandes really can't cross can he :Z

[obelisk]

Woeful cross. Perhaps it's something they don't practice.

[HKsaint]

Seeing they are passing around and then giving the ball to the goalkeeper at last is painful 

[OttawaSaint]

Fanny fanny fanny...

[obelisk]

Tippy-tappy. Give it away. Wolves chance. Saved.

Please sack him now, put us out of our misery with this clown.

[CB Fry]

Yet more evidence of us doing that thing that we definitely don't ever do.

[tdmickey3]

More pointless possession at start of 2nd half, the pattern is set, try notbto yawn and doze off

[Edmonton Saint]

Fuck off Martin.

2-0 FFS

GAME OVER

Foul on archer surely?
