If that's a red card then games would finish 5 a side.

Eight minutes for Saints to pass it around at the back.

Defence just stood off him. 2-1 and Still's toast.

Blackburn all over us.

Charles has pulled something nasty now so he'll likely be out for a few weeks.

Laughable goal to concede. Typical of this lot though and it all started with a Saints corner.

Stephens on to offer some leadership. Scienza off for some unknown reason.

Another shocking miss from Saints.

What the hell was that from Azaz. At least get it on target. Saints finishing woeful again.

Archer has had enough. Fraser on.

Great break. ArmA hits it at 'keeper.

Didn't look offside to me. Saints a shambles in defence but get away with it.

One moment of class from Scienza. The rest of it is really pretty awful. If Saints drop points against this lot then we'll have found our level.

Another powder puff shot from Saints.

Saints nearly concede immediately after scoring.

A few more Scienzas please.

Who knew that Aribo would be touted by many as the missing link? I guess it just shows that a player becomes ever more talented the longer he's not playing. 😁

Oyekunle on the bench. Deserves a chance.

Haven't the players been told that there's to be no more easy passing along the back line? It just invites a press from opponents who know there's a loose blind pass inside coming at some point and all they have to do is wait for it to arrive. I don't think THB looked forward all game. Saints look much more dangerous when the ball is slotted through the lines or over the top for pacemen to run on to. Dangerous until it comes to putting the thing in the net that is but at least the ball would be in the right areas and maybe it'll slice off a Saints player's backside and into the net one day.

From a comfortable first 30 minutes Saints descended into an absolute shambles. Maybe if Leo's shot had gone in but from that moment on the heads well and truly dropped again.

Robinson bursts into the box and shoots miles wide. First Saints shot for ages. McCarthy saves at the other end.

There's just no sign of the Saints players even trying to make a game of it. They've totally given up. Now passing across the back again. Desperate Downs now on.

Saints looked fairly comfortable at the start but it seems that Bristol just knew all they had to do was bide their time and wait for the mistakes. It'll be a theme this season.

Relegation's off the cards though isn't it?🤔

Shooting ourselves in the foot. One pass along the back line too many.
