Saints losing every tackle. Just cannot get out and it's nearly 2-0 after more fannying around.

Brum score after another defensive shambles. Brum have a keeper but Saints have Baz.

Stupid fannying around at the back gets Jander a yellow card.

THB almost but Brum have a fairly decent 'keeper.

I think there's enough in the Saints side to avoid relegation but we're never going to get near the play-offs.

Brum always look to break forward when we give up possession. Saints always look for the safe pass backwards which ends up not being safe at all. Can only hope the plan is to win the 2nd half for a change now. I'd be looking to get Wood off (on a yellow), introduce Scienza and play with an extra man in midfield. It's time to actually go for the points or it'll be mid table anonymity this season.

Ref definitely a homer.

Manning gives it away. Good tackle by Wood but ref decides it's a yellow card. Chaos in Saints defence. Kyogo misses.

FK to be lumped into Saints box. Brum done their homework.

Good strong challenge on Stansfield.

Saints actually string some passes together but it comes to nothing.

Arma shot - straight at 'keeper. Another chance goes begging.

Another cross lumped into the Saints box where defenders get caught napping.

One way traffic now.

Saints being totally outgunned in midfield. Hardly managing to get out of our own half. Lots of slow possession at the back though.

Kyogo through on goal. He misses. Again. Saints really want this bloke to open his account.

Shambles at the front too. Should score.

Shambles at the back already.

That's a pretty safe bet.

Perhaps the plan is to win the 2nd half this time.

What the players want is an easy life where results don't matter. The toys were ejected from the pram and now that the weak manager has been duly appointed we're seeing the results.

Opponents quite happy to let Saints fanny around with the ball and to break against our defence with pace. Tactic works well.

Blimey! Easy header. 1-1.

Just a reminder for Saints that it doesn't matter how much time you spend fannying around with the ball. What really matters is sticking the thing in the net.

Bazunu lets another one in. Pathetic defending all round.
