Newcastle weren't hoofing it though. Just quick ball and one time passes.

Newcastle showing what can be done when the ball is played forward quickly rather than slowly sideways and backwards.

What a shambles.

Newcastle starting to control the game now.

Well Walcott did find the net a few times earlier in the week. Smacks of desperation though.

Won't be watching the corrupt circus.

Maybe Adams should try mishitting a few chances. Not with his hand though. 😁

Edozie crocked now as well then?

Moussa Djenepo wins a penalty after a mazy run, and Sekou Mara steps up to convert! [2-0]

Goal machine Theo gets the first.

Does anyone seriously expect a decent goal-scoring striker to willingly agree to join a team that's stuck in the bottom 3 at Christmas?

That's optimistic. I'd say we'll be lucky to get any more points before the Qatar circus gets under way.

If we had a decent goalscorer we'd have several more points. Adam's misses are costing Saints dear.

Not exactly applying any pressure are we?

Is this going to be another 1-0 defeat in a game where Saints could have got something if only Adams could finish?

Adams misses another sitter.

Adams form continues. Another easy chance hits the 'keeper.

Saints seem to be incapable of holding on to the ball for any length of time and when they do it invariably ends up back with the 'keeper for him to hoof it. Might was well just hoof it into the channels if that's the best we can do.

Once again Ralph does just enough to keep his job and then it's back to normal. That display from Saints was dreadful.

Saints awful. Unable to keep the ball at all. Lucky it's only 1-0. Saints also still lucky to still have 11 on the pitch.

Give it away. Concede a goal. Pathetic.
