Mara was onside there.

It's going to take one helluva great escape this time.

Saints give away far too many free kicks.

Typical.

That's dreadful.

VAR FFS!

Had to be a goal like that.

Saints unable to execute the basics of passing and ball control.

I can feel that strange sense of optimism beginning to drain away. Hoping for a much better 2nd half. Lucky to still be level.

Game is completely passing Saints by. Villa will be disappointed not to have a lead I reckon.

Saints ask Villa to have a another go at goal

Hopefully this interruption will put Villa off their stride. Saints still have to defend a dangerous free kick yet though.

If Saints manage to half time at 0-0 that'd be a bonus.

Saints all a bit frantic.

Save Bazunu. Villa in control now.

Villa looking comfortable at the moment.

Lyanco a bit daft there.

I'm hoping for an easy 3-0 lead at half time so that I can worry about us holding on. 😁

Well I'm back from the pub and still no centre forward. Just as I expected. Oh well.

Another fruitless day watching this thread. I'm off to the pub. 🍺

This last week has been a massive turning point in Saints season. I now feel that we can get points against anyone.

Great 3 points but Saints did make it hard for themselves with all those free kicks given away.

Stop giving them free kicks FFS!

Everton only look likely to score from free kicks and corners. Stop giving them away.

If only Adams had the composure of JWP.
