Ramsdale, Sugawara, Harwood-Bellis, Bednarek, Walker-Peters, Manning, Downes, Aribo, Dibling, Fernandes, Stewart Manning? 🤨

That implies we'll actually get someone in their penalty area.

That's akin to a religious faith. There's no evidence that would even happen.

I agree. Another bonkers decision among many and that's why I'd expect them to wait.

There's that friendly match featuring Martin's XI in a couple of weeks. They're going to probably wait until after that and then give him the Leicester game before doing the necessary. What a costly mess.

Got an early goal back in the 2nd half and from that moment on hardly laid a glove on them as we reverted to the RM style of passing it around without creating much. There is one thing consistent about RM teams - they concede a helluva lot of goals.

Their 'keeper has hardly been tested but at least we won on the possession stats. 🙄

Plenty of possession but creating sod all with it. RM will no doubt be delighted.

Ref still refusing to give Saints any free kicks then.

I'd just like to see Saints attacking with a bit more pace. Certainly better this half but still hard to see where goals are coming from.

Bournemouth looking more likely to score next.

Dibling never even touched the diving twit. Yellow card and another fk to defend.

Made a nice change to see a fk put into the mix rather than passed back to the 'keeper.

Might as well just get Tall Paul up top and lump the ball at him if we're going to play like a pub team.

Apparently the last time B'Muff scored 3 in the first half it ended 3-3. Can anyone really see Saints even getting into the final third 3 times?

Any chance we could throw in the towel right now? Actually I think the players already have.

3-0. Too easy. Only Arsenal up next. Martin cannot survive this mess.

Have we even been in their half in the last 15 minutes?

This is hopeless from Saints. Showing no intent at all. Completely outclassed by Bournemouth.

Looks to me like Saints heads have dropped already.

These teams that insist on attacking Saints with pace rather than fannying around with the ball in their own half just aren't playing fair.

Not a yellow? Ref's giving them everything.

Saints in danger of being swamped now.

Another goal handed to our opponents. Good quick thinking by B'muff though.

Tall Paul to come on in the 89th minute to reinforce the defence. Clears off the line in the last minute of added time with a header that only he can reach. 0-0 and RM lives to fight another week.
