Saints v Coventry, 12.30pm Saturday 20.12.2025
obelisk replied to Tommy Mulgrew's topic in The Saints
Opponents have sussed Saints Plan A out now. Even Norwich were all over us once they'd managed to implement their pressing plan. Yesterday's 2nd half indicated that there is no Plan B beyond passing the ball around our own penalty area and then lumping it to nobody. Coventry will likely have a fairly easy trip to St Mary's on Saturday. -
If Armstrong had been watching he'd have seen the keeper leaning to his left in his run up. A decent penalty taker can adjust quickly and slot it in the other side.
-
Another 20 points should see us safe from relegation.
-
Norwich seemed much more interested in winning the game. Saints were much more interested in clocking up passes in their own half.
-
There's no way this lot are getting promoted. Playoffs a long way off too.
-
Norwich camped deep in Saints half easily seeing the game out. There's a lesson for Eckert.
-
Saints lose another second half.
-
Offside from our fk. FFS!
-
Still fannying around at the back. Saints don't seem to realise that they're losing.
-
How is that now a fk?
-
Robinson coming on for Stephens. Going to 4 at the back?
-
It's just not possible to rely on outscoring teams with this leaky Saints defence and get promotion.
-
Ref misses the handball. No VAR so 2-1 it is.
-
Three central defenders beaten again by their reserve striker. 2-1.
-
Norwich keeper asleep at his near post.
-
Manning!! What the hell! 1-1
-
Norwich all over us.
-
It's inevitable that we'll always concede at least one goal. Now let's see if Eckert has what it takes.
-
Another unchallenged cross into the box and it's 1-0.
-
If the first half were really our usual second half then Saints would be a goal or two behind. I'm worried that this second half will be our usual second half.
-
0-0 at HT which is a worry given how Saints have made it a habit of losing second halfs.
-
Fraser is no Fellows replacement. Always looking to play backwards.
-
Another unchallenged cross into the box.
-
Armstrong should have seen the keeper moving to his left and adjusted. Poor penalty. Saints reverted to missing chances.
-
Scienza should have scored. Another penalty missed.
