Saints 0-4 Brighton - Match Thread

[pimpin4rizeal]

I take it fernandes is part of the two man midfield ?worrying part is we have one proper centre back .. attack looks fine and I think fernandes is better in the middle but preferably in a 3 

[Mr X]

I honestly thought juric was showing a few signs of improving us for a while but it's regressed lately and we are conceding just as many goals as under Martin, he is on a hiding to nothing as the players know there's nothing to play for as relegation is already a certainty and their heads are already in the beach!

you'd think they would want to play for a move or to beat derbys unwanted record though!

I turned down a free ticket about an hour ago, that’s what this club has done to me, I have zero interest wasting my time going to watch that shite. There was a time when going to watch Saints was one of the most important things in the world to me.

Anyway back to the line up, what the actual fuck is going on with ABK. If he is earning tens of thousands of pounds a week to always be listed amongst the subs then at least get our moneys worth and start him. Especially when the alternative is Aribo at CB. Juric can get fucked, get rid of him in the summer along with 95% of the first team please.

At least Smallbone isn’t starting I guess.

[OttawaSaint]

This is madness. Aribo a CB, Les and Dibling CM 2. 

We're going to get ragdolled in the mid.

No he isn’t - he’s being saved for the 2nd half to bolster up the 0-2 lead we’ve managed to contain Brighton to! 🤣

[northam soul]

Any links to a stream ?

[Suhari]

Here we go then. I've got a stinking cold, a nose like a tap and am generally not a happy camper.

I have no doubt my wonderful team will deliver thrills to help me feel better.

[Saint NL]

Happy that Welbeck isn't playing, his record against Saints must be immense 

[Toadhall Saint]

IJ sorry me ol mate but your lineups and tactics are shocking.

[Saint NL]

Early booking for Les 🙄

[OttawaSaint]

Les yellow already...

Red card sweepstakes?

47 minutes

[obelisk]

An early yellow for Ugochokwa

[OttawaSaint]

Do they not call foul throws anymore?

[Saint Fan CaM]

Can’t get out of our half - playing too deep…wonder why? 🤔

[Monk]

Ronnie Edwards taking some absolute pelters at Fratton Park early on.

I know what you mean. I know that I have said this before, but I have been watching Saints for 65 years, had a ST for 50 years. Our first child was due to be born the day before we played in the Cup Final in 1976....needless to say, I went to Wembley, working on the theory that we could always have another child, but I may never see Saints in a Cup Final again! That child took her love of Saints from me and we got her a ST next to mine when she was about 15 and we have gone to games together ever since. I/we have seen it all with Saints....the highs and the many lows....but it didn't matter....it was a way of life.....Saints through and through! Sadly, the goings-on of this season have really knocked the stuffing out of us and we just can't be asked.....for the first time in all those years. Looking forward to next season when hopefully some joy may return and we may actually win a few games.

[Saint NL]

Archer gets thrown off the ball far too easily

[pimpin4rizeal]

Any streams please ?

[Edmonton Saint]

Bella Kotchap coming on ..

[obelisk]

Bedders down and out.

[Doctoroncall]

Bella gets on!

[OttawaSaint]

JannyB down. 

"Armel could you..."

"...tell Paul to get stripped and go in at CB...".

[Suhari]

Bednarek off injured.

ABK coming on.

Go on, my son.

[Saint NL]

Bednarek looks injured now. Maybe ABK time

[Saint Fan CaM]

Bedders down injured. It’s fucking ABK coming in! 😂😂😂

[Disco Stu]

Oh my God.

[Suhari]

Big, big cheers for ABK!

[OttawaSaint]

ABK to score and then get a red for chinning Juric as a celebration.

Do you want to see us in the championship under juric? Or think there's better options? We would be a hard sell to any manager of quality 

[Saint NL]

Huge cheer for ABK

[RedArmy]

Armel Bella Kotchap, he’s back from the dead. 

[woodsaint1]

Is Aribo playing CB?

Juric, "hmm...could it be I misread this situation?...no...it's the Saints fans that are wrong".

[obelisk]

Aribo really isn't a CB.

[Saint NL]

Aribo with a horrible tackle outside the area.... Lucky to not get a card here

[Saint_clark]

Anyone with a stream please?

[Saint NL]

Lucky with the deflection there... Could have gone anywhere

[obelisk]

Saints defence gets exposed time and time again.

[Saint NL]

ABK got a touch fortunate there... He was well outpaced 

[OttawaSaint]

Scrappy game. We don't create much. I feel about as entertained as the co-comm sounds...

[Mr X]

Not sure I wanna see aribo in the championship mind you he's one of many 

[OttawaSaint]

Seen those given, he looked really slow too.

[Saint Fan CaM]

Very nearly got caught there - as predicted our defence committed too far forwards.

[SouSaint]

This is pathetic. They are cutting us apart at will.

If he plays well, sorry, better than anyone else, then you’re got to question the Manager’s decision to keep him on the bench for so long. 

[HKsaint]

ABK is so slow

Need to my friends 🙏❤️🤍

[OttawaSaint]

Yikes ABK looks to be struggling with the pace already. Hmm.

[the colonel]

let's tempt fate. No goals in the premier 3pm kick offs so far

 

[obelisk]

Just a matter of time. Brighton miss a sitter.
