Saints 0-3 Villa - Match Thread

[Charlie Wayman]

Morale has collapsed again. Could be a trouncing.

[Saint Fan CaM]

This team is set up wrong to play defensively. There is little or no attacking intent. Absolute dog shite coaching

[OttawaSaint]

We cannot start next season with Stephens or Bednarek at the club. So poor at their jobs. Bednarek ran at the passer but then backed off and from there it was easy.

You either run at the ball carrier OR back off, if you do both, you're dead. Easy basic stuff, but for those 2 it's ingrained.

That, and always diving in at the ball, you might get away with it once or twice but it'll lead to many goals against, penalties, and own goals. 

Over and over and over again...

We can still turn this around

[obelisk]

This is worse than ever. Dibbers gives it away again.

[imadirtyurchin]

Absolutely dreadful “performance” - so fucking dull. No attacking ambition at all. No quality. Misplaced passes all over. Has Ross Stewart done anything in any of the games he’s played? I barely remember him touching the ball. Makes Cameron archer look dynamic and physical.

Nice goal for Villa.

Must be a great feeling...

I’ve heard it’s meant to be great.

[BotleySaint]

The whole match has been just waiting for the inevitable. Villa chance after chance and now it's begun to yield results. We've offered next to nothing. 

[Saint Fan CaM]

Dibling loses it again when stood still. Awful performance. Hope we sell him alongside most of the rest of the squad.

[Saint NL]

Stewart 😂😂😂

Fuck me

[imadirtyurchin]

I speak too soon, he’s just spaffed an easy pass back out for a corner. Brilliant

Ross Stewart....is he on the pitch?

Yeah he's trying to get everyone to join in with "do ya think I'm sexy?".

[obelisk]

Villa might as well sub off their 'keeper and have nobody in goal.

[washsaint]

Ramsdale, Stephens and Fernandes are the only ones to come out of the game with any credit.  The rest are total shite.

All the love for KWP - don't get it.  He's been poor all season. 

What an utterly depressing time to be a Saints fan.

[Jonnyboy]

Derby winning

Rubbish - Stephens has been excellent this match and cares passinoately about the club.  More than can be said about the others

[OttawaSaint]

How Bednarek survived going to Villa, bad mouthing Saints, returning and then scoring one of the worst own goals I've ever seen, will always be such a mystery to me.

Stunning indictment into our football dealings.

Passion is great, but skill would be a better attribute.

It seems this young man is totally overated....

[Lighthouse]

We’ve gone to sh*t in the cricket too.

[OttawaSaint]

Easy chance missed by Hardwood Bellend.

OK.

[bangkoksaint]

Adam Armstrong can’t even get in the West Brom team. Promising times ahead 

[tdmickey3]

Lucky it's only 2

[Saint Fan CaM]

Who the fuck is the latest sub?

The fact that such a consistently crap footballer has been a stalwart in our team for about 8 years is about the most fitting avatar to this period in our history that I can think of.

[OttawaSaint]

7 more minutes. Just as well it ain't 0-0.

Add to that two 9-0s and two relegations to his name

That's what I thought. Let's put a £100m price tag on him!

[Saint_clark]

Pompey with a late equaliser to avoid being dragged back into the relegation fight.

Stephens gives away another pen. No VAR. Cnut.

He was pretty amazing last season.....

Soft penalty.

[Saint_clark]

Good lord we are crap.

[Saint Fan CaM]

Rambo saves, but Saints players switch off and they score from to he rebound.

[OttawaSaint]

Lol saved again. Rebound scored. JUMBO JACK forgot to run in after the penalty. It's a lot for him to remember.

[LeBizzier69]

Didn’t look a pen…..seemed to get a toe to the ball and man then fell over?? 

[Gloucester Saint]

Ollie Watkins is the sort of striker at the time Saints should’ve been buying, more established PL club at the time but their owners showed backbone which ours haven’t for a long time. Mayen, a squad player for them but with end product, let’s compare notes with Sulemana’s contribution.

They’ve had proper scouts and recruitment, we’ve had people with no practical top level industry experience. End result is clear. 

[Charlie Wayman]

At least Ramsdale is showing some guts

[St. Ciervo]

To be fair, it wasn't just Jack that wasn't ready... Our entire team was picking daisies.

It's us all over. We don't even do the little things well. Basic basic stuff like running in after a penalty just in case it's saved. Jack, looking on like "oh yeah, right, always struggle with that...so much to think about".

0-3 down and we’re still going backwards. Shit.💩 

[Edmonton Saint]

I could be wrong but in nearly every game this season subs have made us worse, but the problem is that we have to make subs as we seem to have the unfittest team in the Premier League. Low fitness = low mental fortitude.

[James]

Jack Shoehorn needs to be the first one shown the door. Two penalties…FFS.

[imadirtyurchin]

So we’ve decided not to cross the halfway line pretty much all game - be surprised if we had 10 touches in their box, plus 5 at the back. Defensive subs…. And we still concede 3 goals. What utter utter bullshit this season is. Sick of all these twats. 
 

I actually think I don’t want to break Derby’s record. These cnuts deserve to be tainted with it. It’s the fans I feel sorry for.
