Any streams please?

UN B LEEEEVABLE! What a team. What a contrast in the second half. Rothwell goals just unbelievable. Then a lucky deflection for Huddersfield and still the heads don't go down - score against us would-ya? Okay we'll score 3! Great game and credit to Huddersfield - I hope they do well for the rest of the season.
-
OMG what was that?! Huddersfield fully deserve that lead - we were terrible! Second to everything. Losing Downes too. I had a funny feeling about this game after Huddersfield won 4-0 in their last game. Huddersfield look like they read our script. Can't see us rescuing anything from this unless it's a 200% improvement. Manning is dreadful. They are picking on KWP defensive vulnerability. Should Bazunu have saved their first goal?

Thanks for the birthday present Saints. First time I haven't been able to find a stream anywhere, but quite a pleasant change watching the BBC Live reporting come in with all its delays... Would be lovely to beat Liverhampton.

Rotherham 0-2 Saints - Match Thread
Vancouver Saint replied to Yorkshire Saint's topic in The Saints
After the event looks a routine win but could easily have been 4 or 5-0...or 1-2 and edgy. Bazunu played well, Bednarek and THB. AA super-hard working, Ryan Fraser too, Smallbone played well too. Thought Che Adams was poor, Stuart Armstrong had an off day, KWP looked disinterested in running past the last defender, Manning not great. Brooks is going to be a great asset. Now to keep winning and put some daylight between us and Leeds. That's the rest of the season for us I think. Come on you Saints! -
Rotherham 0-2 Saints - Match Thread
Vancouver Saint replied to Yorkshire Saint's topic in The Saints
5-0 to the Saints. Proper revenge for managing not to win the first game. -
Congratulations/commiserations John B on your long supporter status - I'm a little bit behind you in supporting years, but not much - same win record of those two trophies in over 50 years supporting the Saints. For me, the priority is automatic promotion - whether it's as Champions or runners-up matters less to me - so I'd rather see Leicester win and us cement second place over Ipswich sooner. We can then go on a mission to catch Leicester, although I think the real job will be to preserve the gap between us and Leeds. And there's always one team that goes on a great run at the end of the season...I would have said West Brom before today's result but possibly them, Coventry, Norwich, Hull... What do others think?

So only caught the last 15 minutes (4.30am start here in Vancouver) - and we looked absolutely terrible! Swansea could/should have scored at least two in that time. If we play like that at the end of games we will lose our record! Obviously we played very well in the first half from the Sky commentary and summing up, but if I'd just had the bit I saw to judge us on I'd have said we were the team under pressure. Looked like back to the suicidal tippy-tappy passing in and around our box that a good pressing team exploits. Anyway, super happy we won and amazing run and record to be applauded. Now to keep it going!

Saints 4-0 Sheffield Wednesday - Saturday 3pm
Vancouver Saint replied to goodymatt's topic in The Saints
What to say. Lost for words. Brilliant all round. Thank you RM and the whole team. Keep it going at Swansea please. -
Saints 4-0 Sheffield Wednesday - Saturday 3pm
Vancouver Saint replied to goodymatt's topic in The Saints
Squeaky 1-0 victory. Huge game. Wednesday on the up. We need to keep momentum going. First half will be telling. Unbeaten record could cut both ways...confidence or nervousness. -
Well much more comfortable than I thought it would be. My out-takes - Lumley in goal looked very good. All the youngsters played well. THB and Frazer a cut above. Alcaraz committed and unselfish. Mara goal good, but really should have had more. Smallbone meh. Stephens still has an error in him, Holgate very lucky his mistake not punished at a critical time in the game...better teams would punish Stephens and Holgate mistakes to have made it 1-1 and a very different game. All good in the end. Let's continue it for Sheffield Wednesday with four or more then.
-
Posting this before reading others...totally dominated that and really should have won comfortably. Teams now setting up defensively at home against us...know that we're vulnerable to the counter-attack. If we don't score early, or at least in the first half, it rewards 'sit back and park the bus' tactics like Norwich. Stacey should have been sent off for taking Edozie out of the game - saw him in a boot and crutches at the end - not a good sign. Didn't you just know they'd score with their only shot on target... Still, on reflection, it's a point away from home, our run continues. Sheffield Wednesday should normally have been a walkover, but they seem to having a revival...need to win that.
-
Hearts my Scottish team...watched them earlier this season at home vs Aberdeen. Shankland a cut above the rest. Big, strong, can hold off challenges, good in the box, good in the air, knows where the goal is and scores...not quick his only obvious downside. He'd be a brilliant target man central striker. Doubt the jambos would let him go - he's club captain and leader for a reason.

We should all be thankful to Che Adams for playing to his strength in holding off the defender to score what turned out to be the winner. Bazunu will hopefully learn from that to never lose concentration for a second - turned a completely comfortable, dominant victory into a tense, nail-biting finish. In the end no harm done. Overall, I sat there watching, thinking we've change the personnel but they're playing the same way - brilliant. Smallbone not as good as Armstrong, and Aribo adds more than Shea Charles at this point IMHO, Manning seems to make some bad decisions...but otherwise we were really playing as a team. Alcaraz goal brilliant. Edozie excellent. Mara excellent when he cam on. Fraser should have made it three...though that was going to cost us too. Their goalkeeper stopped it from being five or six for us. Oh yes, and we got lucky for their disallowed goal for once. A 2-goal shift in the space of a minute worked in our favour. Gotta keep this going.

Saints 5-0 Swansea - Match Thread
Vancouver Saint replied to southbourne saint's topic in The Saints
Is there something wrong with me...even 3-0 up and everything we've been asking for about being in a comfort zone and I'm thinking, c'mon don't screw this up now! -
Phew. Nail-biter at the end but we should have had a penalty and Che Adams should have scored at least twice and/or assisted. We played really well there. Shea Charles unlucky, played well. Both Armstrongs did really well. Thought we'd have issues with Bree going off but manning did well too. Ryan Fraser brilliant after coming on - a total pro. Aribo working hard...commentator even used the word pace alongside him! Smallbone notably the exception - really slow, gave the ball away in dangerous situations, perhaps nursing something or not 100%, was right to be subbed. QPR not looking anything like a relegation zone team - jeez! Not good news about Ross Stewart...wish him well...hope now though that it makes it imperative we get a proper goal-scoring centre-forward in early. Well played Saints. Now, let's put some goals past Swansea and make it really count with another win.

Saints 4 actual goals vs 0 Blackburn - Match Thread
Vancouver Saint replied to Convict Colony's topic in The Saints
Well, no complaints about that. Scoreline a fair reflection of our dominance. Now can we keep doing this please? Only bad thing about it was the commentator on DAZN saying West Ham were going for KWP in January... -
Missed this one all bar 10 minutes on a dodgy stream...just in time to see Manning lose possession was it and Coventry score an easy goal..switched off and went into a Zoom meeting. Sounds like it was more entertaining than the game. Is it fair to say missing Stewart, Sulemana and Downes limited our attacking threat - or would it have made no difference with Russball approach? Answers on a postcard...
-
This. When will RM learn there is some truth in the best form of defence is attack? Instead we try to defend 1-goal leads with a defence that invites crosses in that will always create scoring chances for the opposition. We had loads of opportunity to play 'front foot' in the last 20 minutes but opted to pass back and time-waste. We know how annoying it is when teams do that to us - I don't want us to be one of those teams relying on 'gamesmanship' to squeak past opponents by the odd goal. Hopefully it will strengthen the case for getting a striker in in January. I'm normally a never-go-back guy, but Danny Ings would be perfect - maybe he's getting fed up warming the bench?
-
Well if we're being fair Watford deserved that. When are we going to learn that it's a bigger risk trying to defend a 1-goal lead than it is pushing for a second?
-
Lots of banter, very few predictions. Think this is going to be a tough one. Could break our streak I'm afraid. Sorry, don't like it myself but something says we'll lose this 1-0 or 2-0. On a more positive note my predictions are consistently crap. 😳
-
Thank you so much bp - will try this next time
-
First time all streams were rubbish...frustrating to watch between buffering but from what I saw it looked like our best performance of the season - should have been 5 or 6 goals at least - I saw Fraser miss about four chances. Armstrong looked immense. We looked hungry and were moving the ball faster. Great job. Shame everyone around us won too but we can't do better than keep winning.

Any better streams without pop-ups?
