Next goal wins the game - which team will get sloppy?

Stonewall pen denied by fucking Ref.

Never a yellow for Azaz there.

I’ve just realised I’ve been posting my indignation on the wrong thread. Moral of the story - don’t drink lots of wine and then lots of beer when watching an important game of football! 😬🤣

For their goal just look at Manning - two passes out - really, really bad indecisive defending. It’s Manning at his absolute worst. I know he’s also got his pluses, but if you fail to close down and defend your own box then you don’t deserve to start a game of football in my eyes.

It’s going to be a VERY difficult second half with Boro going out with as much shithousery as they can muster. Just hope the Ref has enough balls to recognise what they’re about. They’ve already half-knobbled Scienza. On our side, we need Jander and Charles to be MUCH more mobile and Azaz to put in more of a shift - he’s a bit of a bystander and that’s been the same for him in every match against Boro for some reason.

Yeeeessss!!!!

OK - Ayling is officially the nastiest little shit ever.

Sorry pal, but we’re not winning this one - it’s a step too far. Boro are better than us and the officials are on their side too. Come back here to chastise me if I’m wrong.😑

Central midfield is all over the place - not a clue!

Fucking stupid idiotic defence. Thats it - we’re out of it.😏😉

Cheating fucking northerners already trying it on for a pen!

TBH, if missiles have been thrown etc. that’s all a bit Neanderthal in my view - last thing the club needs now is further sanctions.

We seem to be starting games slowly and feeling our way in. This was challenged by a high press from Boro in 1st leg, aided by Saints being fixated on trying to play out from the back which didn’t work well and when it was launched long, Larin was left isolated. Get these things right and we’ll be ok.

Seen a story that it was an intern working for Saints but that his actions were entirely his own initiative to try to impress. Sounds feasible.

FFS Peretz. Talk about chalk and cheese.

Very poor from Saints so far. I’m not seeing the side of the last 19 games. Larin is having a shocker.

COYR!!!

Or perhaps it was him and Saints are keeping their powder dry in the full knowledge that he was actually not working on behalf of the club when he acted as a ‘spy’? Or perhaps they are able to state that he acted on his own and his actions were not sanctioned? Or perhaps it can be proved that he wilfully placed himself in the right (wrong) place at the right time to gain an advantage for Boro? In short, I don’t think the EFL charging Saints is anything like the accusation being verified and until that time, I’m not going to worry about it. If it’s true then it’s stupidity of the highest order and whoever sanctioned it at the club should be sacked as a result. I can’t believe it’s Tonda.

As always with stuff like this, if found guilty the EFL will need to be seen to punish Saints. Not great to be honest if true. As for the Hull vs Millwall match - a complete bore fest. Nothing to fear if we beat Boro.

Difficult decision. Obvious choices include Scienza and Peretz. Surprise most improved standout player for me is Jander - just been dominant in a box-to-box type midfield role. THB has seen an improved Captains ability, although he has some inconsistent moments in his pass completions. Azaz has proved he can be great, but equally a lack of consistency is a concern (would be a major concern at Prem level). Overall: Peretz.

Two tanks of fuel and a hotel room will cost more?

Fair play…we were pretty shocking at that point and had been for months.

Does this OP win the most stupid knee-jerk statement ever? 😉🤭🤣

Looks good. Would like to see the analysis for period leading up to the Middlesbrough game for comparison and context. What a superb difference Eckhert has made - simply outstanding given the spiral we were in.
