I'd have liked to have seen Mara get a 90mins, but get it why Adams came on. Likewise for Orsic who just sent AA on that lovely run. Two players who have had good last 5 mins off.

Go on AA! Orsic direct pass nice too.

Baz got a better hand to that one.

Well run form Diallo there. Easily caught up and overtook Willock. Salisu has been very good on the left too. With Orsic out on the left, hopefully AA doens;t get in the way of the JWP/ KWP combo that usually does well, when we've got some momentum. Hopefully, he can add to it, and we don;t get caught with too many forward. 4 or 5 balloon shots. That one probably the worst miss of them. Lucky us.

AA at the heart of good things.

It's all about bravery, aggression and heart. Skill, goals, wins and points is all old school thinking. 🙂

insta aggression from AA! The NJ way!

Hope he's okay. That was a tough half for him, for a number of reasons. But AA is on... and that means goals!

Djenepo doesn;t look good there.

Hmmm... lots of replays of their disallowed goal...every one of them clearly showing it hit an arm... but the commentator reamins unconvinced...right...

A moment of momentum after that shot...cue Diallo misplaced pass... normal service resumes. >sigh<

JWP rallying the troops. Some sloppy passing. the direct from deep passes giving possession away. But a shot! from us!... checks replay to make sure it was from us and not a weird pass back... yes! Alacaraz! 🙂

4 of them lining up to put that in.

Jeez. Baz is so flappy.

Alcaraz got booked for the foul, but Bruno tried to swat him in the face often enough. Cheating git.

A corner routine right up there with Salisu throw ins. >sigh<

Another Willock blasted effort. Not so good, we're letting them get these efforts in, after giving them plenty of build up passes too.

Not as much as xG though 🙂

only a foul for that clear and viscious arm block on mara though. Booo!

clear booking for DCC.

Ooooh Djenepo looking miffed. NJ has him riled up. Good to see new signing Janny B offer him some support.

NJ using Baz injury (a number of saints fans rush forward to volunteeer to help him off, as a precaution 🙂 ) to instruct/ make up to Djenepo. At least it's a chat. Not sure the there's player buy in to that instruction though.

Nice crisp passing move there form us, all the way form our box. Before that Jones went absolutely ballistic at Djenepo. The player muttered a few comments with a "what?" gesture, as Jones went on ranting. I noted his coaching staff didn;t change their expressions at all, during all of it.

Howe makes lots of little, cryptic hand gestures, each motioning changes in spacing and positioning. Jones makes one sweeping otion, as if saying "hoof it." 🙂

Longstaff is on his feet. What a moaner.
