obelisk

Those two wins consisted of a backs to the wall siege against the mighty QPR and a couple of scratchy goals against bottom of the league Wednesday. I'm really not convinced but if the bloke wins the next 3 then I'll eat humble pie. Otherwise St Mary's will not be a pleasant place to be.

Up the table we go - a bit anyway. Not exactly the sort of performance that it'd get the interim manager the gig though.

Where the hell is Manning?

Stream died.

Saints have totally conceded the pitch to Wednesday. All in pen area.

Williams on for Downes. Brave! 🤔

The number of crosses that Saints allow the opposition is something that the new manager is going to have to address. Myself, I'd go 4 at the back with the full backs told that their job is to stop bloody crosses, especially with Bazunu in goal.

We'd be better with two wide full backs, two central defenders and an extra man in midfield. Wednesday strolling into acres of space must fancy their chances.

Shot low down to Bazunu's left - goes in. Now there's a shock. Saints have stopped playing for some reason.

Intensity dropped off. Wed already had a couple of decent attacks.

It surely can't simply be a choice between O'Neil and Carrick can it? Neither fills me with any optimism. I think I'd even prefer another hipster gamble.

That ugly win will look better if they can get 3 points against the side at the bottom of the table this weekend. Then maybe a couple of wins can breed a little bit of confidence for the new head coach to work with.

Some composure from Azaz when breaking free and we could have had a 3-1 lead with a Downs goal as well.

FT. A win but that was awful.

Oh Bazunu. Just clear the damn thing.

Bazunu saves !!

Bazunu nearly hands them another goal.

Manning a complete prat there.

THB doing his best to get QPR an equaliser. He's been dreadful.

Terrible pass

Totally lost control of this now. Will be lucky to finish with 11 men on the park.

There's no way that this lot can hold out for 10 more minutes.

Replay seems to show it onside.

Bazunu hands QPR a goal. It's way offside.

Meanwhile Saints defence contrive to try and let QPR back into the game.
