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.

Saints with plenty of slow possession but the Oxford 'keeper's hardest job so far has been to decide what to do with goal kicks.

I'll be happy with that point just as long as Saints come back from Oxford with three.

Passing it slowly between the back three when up against 10 men is not what is required. Coventry defended well 2nd half whereas Saints in similar circumstances would have folded.

A nice bit of Christmas handbags at the end.

1-1 at FT. Would have taken that at the start but against 10 men for all that time it feels like a defeat.

Saints without many ideas in attacking areas. All a bit desperate.

What the hell is Bazunu doing?

Coventry currently playing with 9 men. Saints still don't look like scoring.

If they had Bazunu in goal Saints would have a comfortable lead by now.

I'm still expecting Saints to lose this.
