Saint Fan CaM

Smallbone really looking a bit slow and not bothered to beat the keeper to the ball there.

Bree is a such a huge upgrade on Manning.

Honestly Che can go do one - he is absolutely shite.

Have a horrible feeling Russ has had too much time on his hands to overthink team selection and will go with something daft like Stephens at CB, HB at right back and KWP at LB. If he does we’ll lose…we don’t do breaks well generally.

Love it - I would actually buy that shirt and I don’t do that too often.

There will always be richer clubs than other clubs whatever league you’re in. That’s not the issue here. It’s whether you ruin the COMPETITION by cheating rules or simply use your money to hoover up talent and plonk it on the bench so other teams don’t get a look in….thats the problem. Leicester are as complicit as City or Chelsea and should face points deduction now for their past misdemeanour’s.

I like Rothwell, but if we go up I’m not sure he’s going to be good enough for EPL survival, in the same way Stu Armstrong will not be. If we don’t go up he’ll be the perfect asset for the Championship where he’s a cut above most others and I’d expect him to be offered a full contract assuming Bournemouth will sell.

I don’t mind JT and AB ~ pretty balanced, although I sometimes wish for more commentary on the actual performance and less opinion of what’s right or wrong…that’s not really a commentators job during the game, but good in the break/after the final whistle.

A much needed win, but are we fully happy with that? Effectively ends 2-0 and at home to a very poor Sunderland. Don’t blame the players - all down to the Manager and his selection.

Sulemana screws up another golden chance.

Ref buying a faked smack in the face from Aribo who then gets booked. 7 minutes of extra time surely we can’t fuck this up can we?

Why does nearly every defender try to play keep ball in defence when a simple pass is on? Just don’t get it.

Rothwell again! Superb counter.

Brilliant strike from Rothwell. Trouble is we have to score 6 to win a game of football now.

What the hell is going on? 2-2 and we could easily lose this the way the subs have worked. All the responsibility of the Manager trying to keep his mates in place and playing our best CB out of position. Utter madness.

Ref helping them - two fouls ignored. We’re gonna fuck this up now. Sulemana and Manning together is a defensive calamity waiting to happen!

Sully and Aribo on for Saints. Smallbone and Brookes off.

To be fair and balanced, Manning made a good recovery then.

Would love us to be five up at 70 minutes and allow the youngsters to come on to express themselves.

The way things are going goal difference could really make the difference between the teams chasing the auto spots. Must do better in front of goal and completely smash Sunderland.

I want at least five goals at least out of the team today and none conceded - we deserve it against this team.

Pen for Saints - here we go.

Oh FFS Manning - leaving us exposed once again. Jeez he really is a useless defender. Not. A. Clue!

Baz gifting them possession on many occasions - thank goodness they look totally inept at taking advantage.

Just watch Manning in defence - he gets nowhere near his man and then chases the ball like a school kid placing him self out of position.
