Apart from a few minutes early in the 2nd half that was gutless from Saints. Unable to string more than a couple of passes together. Lucky not to have been out of sight at half time. We're doomed.

Just like watching the first half now.

It had been coming. Saints unable to keep hold of the ball.

Saints guilty of giving the ball away again.

Fannying around and lose the ball. Stop doing it.

Flabbergasted! How on earth is it still just 0-1?

Could easily have been 0-4 by now. Saints really do look like odds on for relegation at the moment.

Just seems like other teams enjoy visiting St Mary's much more than Saints players. Maybe we should play home games on The Common or something.

Defence just like a thing with lots of holes in it. Dreadful all the way so far.

Just tuned in here in Jo'burg. Jeez! Knock the stadium down and play games on the Common. Worse than embarrassing.

The St Mary's jinx goes on.

Just a couple of lucky 0-1 away wins are the only thing keeping this lot from being well adrift already. No passion. No idea. No intensity. No defence.

No creativity at all. Our one goalscorer Ings does his best but there's virtually no service for him.

Is the plan to take a 0-0 in this half?

Yoshida had a shot at least.

As an attacking force Saints continue to fire blanks.

The free kick went as expected.

JWP receives the ball in space 20 yards out and just passes it back into the danger area. Never want to look forward.

Almost every shot against the Saints defence results in a goal.

The problems with lack of creativity in attack and useless the defence have been obvious for months. Is anyone really surprised by this?

Defence gives the ball away, stands aside and concedes easily. Again. I might as well give up watching this rubbish and prepare my dumplings.

Redmond runs into a defender. Again.

All stemmed from giving the ball away yet again.

Another Gunn mistake.

Always used to think of a home game as one where we'd at least give the opposition a game, however good. For a while now we've tended to struggle for points at St Mary's and I find myself almost hating the place. Prove me wrong Saints.
