Villa 1-0 Saints - Match Thread

[Saint NL]

Is that three double-barrelled surnames in the team? 

Another trophy in the bag.

[OttawaSaint]

The process has been trusted. Great bravery today. Enjoying this.

Bit harsh, compared to the likes of Gio they at least have nutritional value.

I suppose the way things are, a 1-0 defeat counts as a win?

Morale boosting defeat if ever there was. 
Especially if we’ve managed to go ‘toe to toe’ with Villa. Even if only for the first ten minutes. 

[Mr X]

I honestly can't see us getting the extra 6 points needed to reach the heady heights of 11 points that derby did! 😂

[coalman]

If we can just hang in there we can play out the kind of result that gets everyone a hug. Apart from Joe. He put his laces through it.

[Sarisbury Saint]

Equaliser incoming.

[macca155]

Only 1 0 anything can happen yet..... despite our turgid football

[Saint NL]

BBD coming on.

Not for the goals, but to get another double barreller on there

[Viking Saint]

BBD about to come on. What's the point??

Yep they will score again 

[washsaint]

BBD coming on - this can only mean goals, goals, goals.

At least for Villa

Downes for BBD.

Anyone guess what the formation is?

[Mr X]

BBD will score today! 🙏😂💰

I've gone from watching the match to reloading Saintsweb on my way to the pantomime. Quality of life improvements beyond belief.

Good news though, we won't be dropping any places in the league.

Be careful. Easy to mistake one for the other.

Russ loves a big V.

[HKsaint]

RM will be proud of our second half display 

[coalman]

It's games that are close like these we really miss Jack Stephens' ability to step up and get the kind of senseless red card that gives the bearded excuse monkey his out.

[Saint NL]

What is Lumley doing? 🤦

Certainly not! He loves his job. He loves the Club. He loves the people he works with. Bless him!!!

But he does not love all the fans.  Just ask Rishi.

[tdmickey3]

We miss Jack 🤥

[Sunglasses Ron]

[OttawaSaint]

Russ after the game will wax lyrical about how we took the game to a Champions League team and pushed them all the way.

Yes, but we worked it out after game day 2, it didn't take us half a season to see the bloody obvious!

Proud of our whole season! Who'd have thought we'd have achieved five points at this stage of the season a wonderful achievement by all!

That's probably the excuse Russ will trot out isn't it.

Steady on. No wonder Russ is so frustrated with the fans' unrealistic expectations

Today, or this season ? 

[Mr X]

How did they not score there 😂

[OttawaSaint]

😆 at Villa. We're there for he taking!

[CanadaSaint]

THB can say what he wants (or what he’s encouraged to say) but I see a demoralized side going through the Russell Martin motions. No fight, no desperation, just nothing.

[Saint Fan CaM]

Wood did brilliantly there. Fair play to the lad.

[Galway saint]

we are missing ross stewart - not been the same team since his injury
