Saints 1-5 Chelsea - Match Thread

[Lee On Solent Saint]

What's the fuckin point?

[Farmer Saint]

Idiots.

[Lighthouse]

Fourth choice keeper…

[SNSUN]

Play it fucking long jeez

[obelisk]

Another tippy-tappy screw up. 1-2.

[badgerx16]

Fucking hoof it !

[Gloucester Saint]

Lovely play from Archer and KWP, Joe is rewarded for gambling on the run and finishes well.

Edit - and more playing around at the back garbage.

[FarehamSaintJames]

Fucking shambolic.

Russ out.

[OttawaSaint]

Just a freak goal lads. Once in a blue moon that...

[Viking Saint]

This fucking insistence on playing out from the back destroys us

[Saint Matty 76]

I’m so bored of this now, get this guy sacked

[Saint_clark]

AND FROM KICKOFF WE GO STRAIGHT BACK TO LUMLEY AGAIN. 

 

FUCK OFF YOU CUNT

[Mr X]

Ridiculous error 

[Toussaint]

Lumley only took that risk to please the  boss

Do you think our 1st, 2nd, or 3rd choice would have done better ?

[adrian lord]

KWP back to his best. 

[obelisk]

That is Russball madness in a nutshell. Chelsea defence looking ropey so why the hell are we playing tippy-tappy at the back?

[Suhari]

Yes. A stream that's behind.

That was a typical RussBall giveaway.

Just. So. Toilet.

[Colinjb]

We just cannot have chance to enjoy anything nice, can we?

[verlaine1979]

That's as bad as I've ever seen at this level.

Fourth choice keeper…

Yes - it's almost as if ALL our goalkeepers are being asked to play a certain way leading to them making identical errors.

[OttawaSaint]

Trust the process lads. 

It's only 9 errors that have led to a goal, drop in the ocean considering we've played *checks notes* 13.25 games...

No, he was strictly adhering to instructions as they all do

[captainchris]

THAT is a sackable offence Martin!!!

Bloody madness my son…

That was nothing to do with Russ... It was just a player making a poor one-off decision.... Or something.... 😉

[The Kraken]

Now now. We shouldn’t blame Russell Martin for an individual error. Or something.

One eye on the transfer window?

[SNSUN]

9 mistakes leading to opposition goals now. How can everyone see we're shit at passing out from the back except for the one man that is in charge? Yes you can blame the players but if they're not good enough at doing that then surely you stop fucking doing it.

Or 9 individual errors.

[OttawaSaint]

26 errors that have led to goal scoring chances.

64 corners, 0 goals.

Trust the bravery lads.

Ramsdale and Bazunu, yes. Another example of people not caring about a keeper’s distribution, until a keeper has bad distribution.

[trousers]

Good save from our "4th choice keeper" there...

[Farmer Saint]

Nearly conceded from a long ball out from the back. Who thunk it eh?

Edited 4 December, 2024 by Farmer Saint

[Maggie May]

I like Martin. I back him. But that goal has got him the sack. 

[Saint NL]

Couldn't help but laugh at that second goal. Shambles.

 

Commentator was right though, Chelsea don't need to play well to win, they just need to turn up 😂

[FarehamSaintJames]

NINE errors this season leading to goals.

RM will love it, just proves how brave we are.

[Gloucester Saint]

If SR are determined to keep Martin, the only way that’s possible is that his ‘philosophy’ goes in the bin.

Looked good in open play but that is a horrific goal to concede and there’s been plenty like that.

Get their defence under pressure, tell the manager to fuck off and play it in Chelsea’s half.

Yeah, Ramsdale and Bazunu never passed it straight to the opposition or to a player who was so under pressure they immediately lost it. 

[Sir Ralph]

We will be relegated because of our passing out at the back. Martin alone is to blame for this and he solely must take responsibility. Sack him now

[Sheaf Saint]

I can see a total collapse coming here.

Why is that in quotation marks? He literally is our fourth choice keeper.

[Saint_clark]

Fucking great save Lumley. 

He's brilliant at shot stopping and claiming crosses, stop asking him to play like Ederson FFS.

[trousers]

Another good save from our "4th choice keeper"

[Tanlee]

The players must feel great and not soul destroyed at all keep getting into games then this tosser insists on his bullshit, has to be friction surely?

Exactly this.

It’s looking quite worrying.

[badgerx16]

The only good thing so far is the fact that our goal means it can't finish -0.

[Saint NL]

Ahhhh, the old opposition breakaway chance from our own corner. Love that one
