Wolves 2-0 Saints - Match Thread

[Saint_Jonny]

VAR is a disgrace. You have the chance to at least be consistent in re-referring the game but don't. Utterly scandalous.

Seriously? Quibbling about whether we had one or zero shots on target in 45 minutes of football?

Someone said we had no shots on goal and I pointed out we did. If pointing out the bleedin' obvious counts as "quibbling" (😂) then guilty as charged... 🤦‍♂️

[manji]

2-0 down to the worst team in the league, then the next load of games are against top six teams. No good going on about bad decisions. Shouldn’t have been 1-0 down in the first place should have scored more , obviously. 
twice in the last couple of minutes no one up front to pass to.

[AlexLaw76]

Oh fuck off with the obsession with playing out....

No it wasn't cleared, the commentators are having to assume it because it has been allowed. They show decisions that var check.

The ref was told no need for var

[obelisk]

Wolves pressing all over our tippy-tappy go nowhere Russball now.

Pathetic isnt it

[SambaMaverick]

Our set pieces, among other parts of our game, are so amateurish 

I'm actually convinced he does nothing on the training pitch but work on these pretty patterns in the middle third

Fuck off Russell!

The board won’t sack him. 

They sacked multiple managers in our last PL season, so why do you think they won't this time?

How? Everton goal was offside.

The on field decision was a goal. Then it was reversed by VAR in both cases. In one case we benefited from that (giveth) in another we didn't (taketh away). 

[BotleySaint]

Good to see Martin making changes following their second goal to try and get the game back.... 

[OttawaSaint]

YAWN. This brand of Saints football is so effing tedious.

[Saint NL]

When you're getting beaten tactically by Gary O'Neil then it's time to reassess things 😂

[Thereisonlyonemickychannon]

To the tune of Hokey Cokey

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh

Tippy tappy foooootbaaaaallll

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh

Tippy tappy football

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh

Tippy tappy foooootbaaaaallll

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh

Tippy tappy football. 

Martin out

knees bent

turn around and shake it all about

[Saint Matty 76]

Still no Onuachu, despite the fact this clearly isn't working

Fed up of this bloke now, appreciate what he did last year but get him gone in the break and give us something of a chance

He will not keep us up

[Disco Stu]

I can't watch this ponderous shit.

True 😂 

[trousers]

And now a blatant shirt pull on Lallana that goes unpunished... Someone check this ref's bank account after the game...

Though I agree it's time for a reassess, why O'Neil? He's done a great job?

[AlexLaw76]

As said, we will lose by about 3 goals...another one will be conceded by giving the ball away needlessly in out own half

It is incompetence rather than corruption.

[Edmonton Saint]

Two nil down and we bring on a right back and defensive midfielder ?

 

Martin out now!

Because they actually buy into the bullshit that Martin spouts.

[BotleySaint]

Here comes more defenders.

That means goals goals goals!

At least we have a nice aggressive bench.

RM gone now surely

Too little, too late. Not going to make a blind bit of difference, we're done in this league. This season is now solely about avoiding '9 nil' records and the like - total and utter pathetic mess.

[Mr X]

Think someone on here earlier said they can't see wolves scoring twice 😂

[Saint NL]

Just now, Edmonton Saint said:

It's the last thing they'd expect 😂

They were convinced with what Jones told them enough to hire him, but still quickly sacked him.

12m in payoff

[Bad Wolf]

With Martin's last act as manager he should march the players off the pitch. Disgusting refereeing performance yet again.

How come all the "incompetent" decisions go against us ?

[obelisk]

With crossing like that there'd be no point introducing Tall Paul. Saints have become a disjointed shambles again.

I can hear "Russell Martin what a wanker" but who is singing it?

My Nan.

[BotleySaint]

Wolves comfortable now. It's all desperate last minute stabs for us. Need some attacking changes.

Still winning possession though.. whoop.

[Bad Wolf]

Jones had been appointed about 3 months before he was sacked. Ralph also had a 10 million pay off (fact)

[lhammondo]

Surely RM will be shown the door after today.... Surely?

Agree with this. He's not a good manager but we have been seriously fucked over by refs this season, in really important games.

Probably due to corruption.

[CB Fry]

We just need to focus on winning the cup.

They were attacking subs than you think, Sugawara is a more attacking full back than Stephens. Plus Ugochukwu playing as the holding midfielder instead of Lallana allows Aribo and Fernandes to go further forward knowing they have a specialist holding player behind them.

[coalman]

60 minutes in. 0 shots on target. We're playing like a team protecting a 2 goal lead.

They don't. We've benefitted from them as well.

[stevematthews635]

If joe Aribo is a footballer......

First,and last, game I've seen all season.

Gutless, pointless football with no attacking intent.

Martin has to go.

He'll be shown the door but will just shuffle slowly left right and backwards and never go through it.

I guess we'll find out if we go on to create more chances. Nothing so far.

[AlexLaw76]

Still no shots on target 🤪

Fuckin hope so but should have been weeks ago

[trousers]

Why has the ref stopped the game then FFS? What a twat

[die Mannyschaft]

If we accept relegation then any goals or shots are a bonus. At what stage of the season with under 10 points have teams not been able to avoid relegation. I'm guessing 10th Jan.
