Agree regarding Downes. Surely only a matter of time until we see Jander and charles in the middle.

That first half was awful but fair play to them. They were well organised and pressed us really well so all we could do was hoof it to Archer who had no chance of making it stick. Hes just not that sort of number 9. It shouldn't take the manager to tell all 3 centre mids to come short for the ball to play out of the press. I found that really frustrating but who knows what instructions they're given. I think it's only a matter of time until Downes loses his place, he's just not really good enough for what we want to do. Im not worried as I think that this team will start gelling at some point but I'd actually like to give a shout out to Baz as I've been a bit annoyed over his lack of dominance coming for the ball but he did that to great effect today and relieved pressure a number of times. Other than that Im struggling to pick a MoM. Maybe Manning but its slim pickings.

I quit it a couple of years back on deadline day. Its so fucking painful and saintsweb is just fucking hilarious. As always, thank you lads and lasses for the shits and many giggles 🫶 And just to be clear I hate cunts who make a heart shape with their hands but Im gonna make a cunt of myself to show my respect for the many great people on this site. Again, thank you all for today.

Yup, I get exactly the same feeling. Maybe even a little tingle as well. I've said too much.

Yup me too, out of all of them. Love a good DM for some reason.

But unlike our actual matches we came back from behind and won. Supposedly.

Crap first half so not going to bother about that, other than, obviously Archers finish. I was quite impressed with his all round play for most of the night. I was particularly pleased for Quarshie, who definitely grew into the game and likewise you could see his confidence grow. Must've nipped the ball off the forwards feet a good half dozen times in the last twenty. He actually looked very competent in the one on ones. When the game is this scrappy you can tell that someone like Fraser has prem league experience. Generally better first touch and knowing when to move the ball. Solid performance. Loved the cameo from Matsuki. Blimey, cant remember the last time I saw a saints player take it in the turn in the middle.of the pitch and lash it at goal. Loved that. Think people might be being a bit harsh on Downs. He couldn't do too much to influence the game but played a perfect thru ball to BBD and, well, we know the rest. Wood is a thug 😂😂. Anyway, good for morale and lovely to keep a clean sheet.

Yup, totally this for me.

Hmmmm, I've seen us play. He might have a point.

Dude , it's rarely a thing. Im Jewish and my best mate ( genuinely , is muslim) . In fact I have tonnes of Muslim patients and we speak about current affairs very openly. Most reasonable people just get on with it and dont care.

Wow. That all sounds very familiar !!

😂😂😂😂😂, nice one mate. You seriously got nothing better to do with your time ?

But it ALWAYS feels like the same thing over and over. Its just so boring. And predictable.

To be honest, I was clutching at straws. Best of a bad bunch really and I didn't knock Baz for not being off his line quick enough. You can blame Stephens for the header obviously but Quarshie should never have played that ball inside to him. I played semi pro as a CB and that goes out or down the line every time. And my Baz comment still stands. Even that Chaplin chance at the end, if he scores that's Bazs fault for not dominating his box. Easily. And there were about half a dozen crosses that a more dominant keeper would have come and punched to relieve his defence. I genuinely don't think my comment was laughable and I hope that explains why I said it. .

Wasn't great but obviously take that. Both squads aren't settled yet and Still still hasn't got the squad that he needs to implement his style of playing. Stephens MoM for us ? Hard to pick one. I really wish Baz would come for some of those deep crosses, his lack of doing so makes our defending more nervy than it needs to be. Willing to give Quarshie a bit of a pass as still getting used to a new league but his decision making......wow. Passing also a bit dodge but as I say neither team has started to hit there stride yet. Tough away game so happy with a point.
