even the most loyal fan has been mentally damaged by this season.

That red card debacle seemed to totally deflate us.

100%, was a huge wake up call/morale boost for them.

[Suhari]

Right side just stopped working when Saga went off.

[OttawaSaint]

For me, Ugu is motm.

Don’t knock Netley Central! Had some great wins against the Saints on Good Fridays in the 1960s

You probably played against old man in that era, played for Hound. Apologies for any late challenges experienced!

[Chez]

We've made the game look hard in the second half. We keep trying, but West Ham have been much more sold since the goal.

They were on the front foot long before that.

[Edmonton Saint]

Ran out of steam second half. Not surprising given how unfit the team is. Martin has totally screwed this team.

[Suhari]

Unlucky TP.

Likewise. Why didn't Martin fancy him?

[Tommy]

Can’t win games of football in premier league when your forwards are Arma and TP. Had the chances in first half but sadly not good enough in front of goal. 

[Wsaint]

You hope it's just rusty from lack of games, but TP has wasted so many good chances today. Could have been comfortable at half time.

[DG]

Desperately need a striker in through the door in January.

[OttawaSaint]

We just don't get an ounce of good luck so we. Ugh!

Another square peg in Martin's round holes.

What a horrifying image.

Endless missed chances, but a far brighter performance. Bodes well for the long term under Juric. 

[Saint NL]

Tall Paul could have scored 4 today.

[Harry_SFC]

Sulemena is a fucking awful

Best finisher still sat on the bench. We've got Fernandes, Dibling and Onuachu all causing problems for defences but not once have we played all three of them with Archer to see if he can finish what they create. 

[bangkoksaint]

Criminal how Martin mismanaged this team and our PL return. Even more criminal that he wasn’t sacked weeks ago 

[adrian lord]

Still 5 mins to rescue a point 

[OttawaSaint]

I guess missing good chances is better than making no chances at all.

Is that our front 4?

Selfish from Dibling, really selfish.

Unlucky Dibling.

[adrian lord]

Dibling.

First win in the Spring then. Mind you we could win all our last 8 fixtures and still not stay up so...

Yup, that ball to TP was on. Probably would have missed it but still 😂

[OttawaSaint]

Ugh Dibs! Keep it down!

[BotleySaint]

Should have scored.

[Sheaf Saint]

Manning once again showing how hideously one-footed he is there. If he could have played it to Dibling with his right there, he might have been able to do something with it.

[HKsaint]

Why don’t you pass to Tall Paul?

[DG]

We’re never going to score ever again ever ever.

But at least we are creating chances now.

[Colinjb]

Oh Tyler..........

Because he couldn’t finish his dinner 

[Harry_SFC]

Dibling HAS to pass that

[Saint NL]

Our finishing is awful. Extra shooting practice is needed

[BotleySaint]

TP with a headed through ball. Nobody on the same wavelength. 

[Suhari]

TP. Think he's a little rusty.

[adrian lord]

Onu yet again misses a headed chance...

Tall Paul isn't a good header of the ball for such a giant 

[OttawaSaint]

Jesus, if the goal was 2 yards wider we'd be 5-2 up!

First thing Ivan needs to do is to make the goals at SMS a foot wider.....

We’ve been dreadful all game.
