Chances going begging again. I think we know what happens next.

Isn't it about time Hoever had a yellow?

Just clear the damn thing upfield.

Get the ball in the bleedin' box. On a night like this anything can happen.

Azaz fluffs right in front of goal. Should be 2-0.

How is that not a foul on Jelert?

They're not the only ones.

Saints letting Utd have possession and play them on the break. Saints corner.

Another corner. Defended them well so far.

Sheffield winger allowed to stroll a long way towards goal.

Daft free kick to concede.

A night for having shots it would seem.

Shot from Leo, deflection. 1-0.

Corner to Sheffield. Keeper takes control.

That consolidation needs to first address a team plunging down the league while returning relegation form results.

In a nutshell then, Baz is calling Saints a basket case where there's no ambition and no desire to improve. He's right isn't he?

Smacks of desperation.

I was maybe half joking during the Christmas period that we were likely to be caught up in a relegation struggle but that performance yesterday against a patched up Hull side has me wondering where on earth a win is coming from. I have no confidence in getting a result against Sheffield United and this lot are very likely to be an embarrassment at Fratton Park in a week's time. Lose those two and we're really in a dog fight at the wrong end of the table with a Saints team that show no fight at all. Very worrying and yet another mess of a season under SR.

That was a team completely bereft of any structure, leadership or ideas. We'll do well to stay up.

Saints haven't exactly peppered the Hull goal. I'm expecting a Hull 3rd.

A measley 4 minutes added. Ref has a train to catch.

Saints looking out of attacking ideas.

Leo well tackled by the pitch.

Fellows was looking dangerous with attacking intent so he gets taken off to a round of booing. Toxic Tonda.

Hull attack at pace. Win a corner. Dangerous.
