Shouldn’t have reached him.

Re-watch it FFS, Stephens couldn't get anywhere near it. Mitoma lost Suga too easily.

Absolutely. Completely pointless to buy him if we never play him. Would have been better off loaning him back to Peterborough for the season. 

He can’t be any fucking worse than Stephens tbh 

[die Mannyschaft]

Oh well, we can still achieve the lowest points record. 10 points looks a long way off playing dodgy passing in 6 yard box.

TBF the keeper was out of position, I think Downes was trying to catch him off his line.

Are you sure about that?

[Stripey McStripe Shirt]

I have zero doubt that Downes will get sent off tonight. 

Also confident this is the night Martin gets sacked.

 

[Saint NL]

KWP is having an absolute mare tonight.

I genuinely can't wait for this era to be over when Martin is gone. I barely even care about the games anymore I'm just waiting for something to change.

It feels a bit like a stomach bug when you know you are going to be sick and feel queasy but it’s not happening. But you know it will.

[LGTL]

We’re losing the possession stats. Martin out. 

[Farmer Saint]

Defensively we've been jank, but against a decent side we've looked alright going forward.

I never thought anyone would ever get less than 11 points. Now I can't see how we get into double figures.

Fuck off.  Ryan Fraser could have headed that.

 

[madge]

What decks me off about Martin is that in every video he’s best friends with all the players… load of bollocks…. Probably why he’s still there. Players weak as piss and can’t see any of this crop standing up for themselves

13 games in and Brighton set to go TWENTY ONE points above us.

So far ahead of us as a club in every way nowadays. Wasn’t that long ago they never even had their own ground. Shambles the way we’ve been run the last few years.

THB was positionally poor as well.

Because he's a league one centreback. 

So are all the rest of them

Getting in some good positions but nothing in the box to take advantage. Archer has been peeling out right when he needs to be around the 6 yard box when the ball comes in.

[whelk]

Right foot FFS Archer

[obelisk]

Saints just seem to panic when getting in the attacking third. There seems to be little idea what to do even when in good positions. Archer misses a sitter.

[Saint Fan CaM]

Archer misses a sitter. Useless.

[Farmer Saint]

Oh Archer

We absolutely do not make double figures if we stick we him. No chance in hell. And if you think two 9-0’s are embarrassing…

[andrew7610]

what does Mitoma have to do to get a booking?

[Saint NL]

Oh dear Archer

You don't half talk some bollocks.

[Gloucester Saint]

Just now, Farmer Saint said:

Oh Archer

Jeffrey could’ve scored that.

[Lee On Solent Saint]

Gotta hit the target, there Archer

[sandwichsaint]

Archer! We are sooo poor. What do we do in training all week?

Training ?

Beard growing competition.

Russ has to win at something.

I am not convinced we would improve, I think our position is more down to poor squad, this is the worst team / squad - clearly Martin is doing badly, but I don't think he has got the team massively under performing.

Who from our squad would get many minutes at even a relegation rival? Maybe three players. Pep would probably be relegation zone with this lot

The players just aren't good enough. Absolutely no doubt about that.

[Lighthouse]

And that’s what happens when you shop at Poundland in the Premier League. Archer just as guilty of costing us a goal as Suga, Downes and co have been in recent weeks. You can’t win games doing that at this level.

[Saint_clark]

Referee needs to get the cards out for them as well. Hacked Fernandes down on the break there.

[Saint Fan CaM]

Stephens almost gifts them a chance there when- knobhead.

[obelisk]

Stephens sets up another Brighton attack.

[washsaint]

Good god, Archer really is shit.

Only Fernandes and Dibling are Prem quality in this side and they won't be here after the end of the season.

THis is beyond shit....and the morons blaming Stephens for the goal are idiots.  UNless he's 8 feet tall he has no chance.  IT was SUgawara that lost his man that was to blame.

Football clubs get worse and get better, this period of time will end and we'll have some relative success again. Not saying once Martin is gone it improves but at least we'll do something different.

[Andy Hill]

Stephen’s is so poor it beggars belief.

[hypochondriac]

It's not just that we lose every week, it's that we aren't even competitive. I would take being down the bottom if we were nicking the odd point and looking a match for the odd team. Even the Everton game that we somehow won we looked complete crap for most of it. 

[Saint_clark]

I swear to fucking god what the fuck does he see Stephens do that makes him think "yes I need him in my team". 

[whelk]

20 fouls already 

[Saint NL]

Downes will be lucky to get to half time 😂

Combine that with a grossly inadequate manager obsessed with bizarre tactics and it’s a recipe to cause delight in Derby when they no longer hold the low points record.

Cheers Rasmus, Henrik and Dragan you 🔔s

[IOWSaintDaz]

Seriously thinking of cancelling my season ticket, there's only so much shit you can take, the clubs failure to act after we got promoted and where we are now is plain to see, for me it's worse than when Mauricio Pellegrino was in charge, we are just not good enough to compete

[Colinjb]

We are not getting battered and are creating chances. 

But it's not an easy thing to watch. Brighton might as well be in a different league, we are the plucky lower league Cup side. 

Taking 1-0 down at half time is damning in itself.

Just a shame we had one season of being alright) even last year we weren't great to be honest.) dreary and rubbish crap most weeks gets very tiring. 

[obelisk]

I'll take just 1-0 at half time. Dreadful.

[Disco Stu]

We continue to play the same way. We continue to get the same result.

I didn't think this was possible? I will if it is.

That's the thing even most of last season wasn't enjoyable with the way we were playing.
