THB has looked awful this season. Looks like any talent has been coached out of him.

Saints give it away in their own half again. Bretford header. Saved.

Brentford cut through Saints yet again.

Saints have had 62% possession, mostly in walking around slowly in their own half. RM will be delighted no doubt.

Opponents will be looking forward to RM's Saints gifting them 3 points. This slow walking backwards football deep in our own half is being easily countered and not helped by occasional easy chances up front being squandered.

Armstrong shows us that he has caught the Adams disease. How can a professional forward miss from there?

Will you please stop fannying around with the bloody thing. 1 down.

KWP having a 'mare as well.

Armstrong looked like he was clipped. Good chance goes begging.

Poor header? Was it Stephens?

Walking football going backwards, Brentford nick the ball and miss again.

Nice to have a 'keeper who saves shots.

Brentford always looking for a forward pass. Saints first thought is to go backwards.

THB a bit off the boil so far this season.

Not the time to be fannying around like that.

Why don't Brighton understand that it's more difficult playing against 10 men with a 1-0 lead?

Nice to see Lallana pulling the strings out there towards the end. Will be valuable this season I suspect even if from the sidelines.

Archer looks sharp.

Bree will get a rocket from RM for that. Why didn't he look for a pass back?

Not exactly peppering their goal in search of a winner are we?

Another mess of a corner.

Pretty soon we'll be able to concentrate on the league. This walking football that goes nowhere is mind-numbing.

Diabolical from Wood. Just stop all the fannying around and look for the forward pass FFS.

Maybe a quick reminder to RM and the lads that this is a cup game and not a friendly.

Well I think we can say this defence isn't challenging the 1st team.
