Smallbone passes up on a 50/50, what a surprise

What's funny @tdmickey3 pal? You enjoying this?

No, are you?

Your comment is knee jerk

[Chez]

I think we are playing one in midfield at the moment. 

[Suhari]

Just tuning in.

Are we smashing them?

[BotleySaint]

Utter bore fest. We are completely blunt and can have no complains about going out.

[obelisk]

That attack was dreadful. Just cross the bloody thing.

[FarehamSaintJames]

Just saw the score. Hahahahhaha

[Saint NL]

Maybe 5 mins left, can we create a chance? I'm not confident

We’ve been doing it for most of the second half. It’s absolutely baffling.

[obelisk]

This sideways Russball still hasn't been exorcised.

[Edmonton Saint]

Starting with 4 full backs was certainly a choice. 

[coalman]

Do the players know they're losing?

[Killers Knee]

We are a mid to lower championship side at best, we lack physical and mental strength.

Come on - I'm no fan of Russball but this one is on Ivan.

[Thereisonlyonemickychannon]

Now I know how man utd fans are feeling. What the fuck has happened to my club???

Knee jerk would be sacking him now

I'm saying I've seen enough that he shouldn't take us forward next season

I think you must have shit in your eyes if you want him in charge next season

They should. Not like it's a new thing for them...

[Dr Who?]

And we’re really shake them up when we… oh!

Passing it around at the back and the subs all high-fiving the other other subs when they come off.  Evidently not…

[Saint NL]

This is a shambles 😂

Can't even pass along the backline, just kicking it into touch

As well as technical skill and motivation 

[Saint Billy]

Now I suppose we can concentrate on our good form in the league.

[Toadhall Saint]

Now, this corner we were hoping to turn……

We did what now?

[ButtikonSaint]

confused as to why we need 5 defenders and 2 defensive midfielders when losing 1 nil with a few mins left.

[stevematthews635]

This team are cowards, utterly shit and be happy to see most never play for Saints again.

 

[obelisk]

Less than 2 minutes to go and we're fannying around at the back.

How are we going to pass it endlessly round at the back without loads of defenders?

[Mr X]

Another terrible result to add to our shit load of terrible results 

[Suhari]

So. 90 seconds left and we're playing keep ball along the back line.

RM out.

[saintant]

Not gonna win the FA Cup but no excuses for not putting away a below strength Burnley side with one eye on promotion.

At one point I swear I saw Sugawara getting kitted up meaning that there was a possibility we could’ve had 5 on the pitch.

[Disco Stu]

Just a bit more shit to add to the big heap of steaming shit that is the 24/25 season.

[Toadhall Saint]

Goodnight Vienna 

[benjii]

Fuck knows why the manager didn't attack that properly earlier in the second half. Crap.

[Saint NL]

Utterly inept.

Quite a lot of booing at fulltime.

[obelisk]

That was shocking from the players. Walking Russball still infects the team.

[Sunglasses Ron]

Absolute pish, what a bunch of losers.

[BotleySaint]

It does worry me how we will fare next season.

We barely created anything even with our best team out there.

[Sheaf Saint]

A final chance to put the ball in the mixer and Bree just kicks it straight out of play.

Sums up the overall performance really. 

Did we even create a single chance in the second half?

[Teamsaint1]

Out of the cup .

That used to matter.

 

Now I’m not sure what does matter to those on the payroll.

staying on the payroll mostly,  I guess.

[obelisk]

I can only imagine the players wanted a weekend off in March.

[Chez]

Aribo now playing on the left side, with Wellington and Manning right next to him. Its fucking mental. You have to have central midfielders. 

Managers that stick to formations no matter what are infuriating. 

[Wade Garrett]

Fuck off Ivan with your shite formation.

I hate this fucking team.  Load of lazy cunts.  Even Smallbone couldn’t break into a sprint after being on the pitch for 5 minutes.  Cunts, the lot of them.

[IronCitySaint]

Utter, utter rubbish. Not one single positive from that match. Truely pathetic performance 

[Challenger]

Another pathetic attempt to win a football match. All that's left is to try to scape together 3 points in order to avoid being the PL,s worst ever team. 

SR have lowered the bar so much you couldn't fit a fag paper under it .

[The Kraken]

Shit from the players, shit from the manager. Dreadfully dull to watch and an unwanted return to Rusty’s U formation. 

[aintforever]

That was just garbage.

[obelisk]

Doesn't bode well for next season either.

[DT]

Such easy money at the bookies. Can’t defend and can’t score. Pathetic.
