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.

If Armstrong were 6ft he might have buried that cross.

Towards the end of the half Jander was looking for the left wing and there was nobody there. I suspect Manning is hiding from the crowd in the centre circle.

As soon as Hull had that corner it was so predictable that the ball would be won in the air by a Hull player. Keeper was out of position though. Can't say that we've not had any chances to score though but as usual the complete lack of composure in attack screws us. Get one soon after half time and there might be the chance of grabbing a point in our fight against relegation. Not likely though. I predict 1-3.

Carry on with this clown of a coach and relegation is a real possibility.

Another corner not defended. 0-2. This is going to get ugly.

Corner to Hull. Dangerous.

Crowd's getting a bit sick of the walking football.

It comes from the endless fannying around at the back.
