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.

Wood rather limp there.

Still just passing along the back line. The goal is up the other end.

Heads will go down now.

Comical goal. 2-1.

Saints must be top of the league for missing open goals.

Pathetic shot from Charles. More like a pass back.

That header from Charles should be in the back of the net. Another chance goes begging.

Fellows sick of the bench or something.

Scienza clobbers a shot against the bar.

Archer obviously missed the composed finish lecture this week.

Fraser heads to their 'keeper from 8 yards.

Archer through with 'keeper to beat. Hits the 'keeper.🙄

Wood, Fraser, Archer all completely useless tonight.

Arma robbed in midfield. Bristol go close. Saints feeling sorry for themselves again.

I'm beginning to think that Downs would have more influence than Archer.

Saints always have it within them to hand the opposition a goal. Dangerous fk to Bristol. Close to a penalty.
