Saints vs Shrewsbury - Match Thread

[Saint_clark]

Long stumbles on the ball then messes up the pass. 

Please sub him Ralph.

[nta786]

Shane that was dog shit fucked up a 2v1 

[whelk]

I don’t think I can take much more of this. I am a nervous wreck. Going to turn it off and just hope we hang on to what is the most important game of the season. C’mon lads hang on.

[Chez]

yes again the high line at freekicks almost leads to a goal, Ralf needs to stop this shit.

That is so fucking poor from Long.

[Archers Road Stand]

Oh just fuck off Long.

That was hilariously shit

[Suhari]

Pass from Long.

Fuck me.

[Mr X]

Long really isn't a footballer any more 

[Saint Jude]

Looking at the positives. 

Diallo is starting to look like a player. 

Ward Prowse and Bendarek look like they should (PL Players)

N’Lundulu building some confidence. 

Watts looks like a prospect for the future. 

 

On the other side:

Valery is all over the place. He’s obviously got some talent, but sharpness and decision making seem missing.

Long is past it.

Stephens confirming what we already knew.

Vokins doesn’t look great (but a better back up than Valery)

Chauke bit hard for him to get into this.. we’ll see in the future

 

[danjosaint]

He's loving his nice shiny new contract tho

[igsey]

Jesus Christ Long. 

 

For all his faults you'd still say he'd do alright in a 2v1 counterattack. Not any more.

You were calm a minute ago. That medication needs to go 👍

[Saint_clark]

Thank God for that.

[Chez]

Again Valery gets forward into a nice position but no end result. I expect better of him.

[BotleySaint]

Chauke has grown into the game this half, presumably nerves have settled. Valery just lacking that bit of extra quality at the moment.

No 4 was offside but not given same as the last free kick.

[DT]

Long off. Struggling to remember a worse performance. Ali Dalia?

[Saint_clark]

Stephens giving the ball away again. He's not a fucking ball playing defender.

[Viking Saint]

Long and Chauke off

[badgerx16]

Ralph should take Long off and play himself.

[trousers]

Shouldn't Long be unhappy rather than grinning like a Cheshire cat when he gets subbed?

Thank fuck Long is off. Echo all the above, He really isn’t even league 1 level is he!

so its a good method? Gives me heart attacks. Pure luck we have not conceded in games from them IMO.

Yep, disgraceful reaction after an embarrassing performance. 

[Chez]

Valery defending from that free kick. Absolutely no effort to win the header. Far too casual for me. Lack of desire defensively. The sooner we get Brandon Williams the better. Our cover at both fullback positions is bad.

Jankewitz on for Watts. Tall lad ain't he.

He is so lackadaisical. Conning a life as a pro in the prem 

[hackedoff]

The ROI sussed out Long a while back,but not this head in the sand club. 

[CB Fry]

Pennington on. Shit.

I thought Jankewitz was more of a No.6 than a No.10

[obelisk]

Saints worryingly blunt in attack again.

Ha!! That wasn't impressive either. 

[Saint_clark]

With the change in system are we not stuck in our academy now with a lot of midfield players not suited to either the deep lying midfield or the number 10 role?

‘Head in the sand club’ LOL!! F**k off mate. 

[hypochondriac]

I haven't written on here tonight but I've watched the game. Just came in to say that I am amazed that long is still a professional footballer. He's the worst striker we've had in ages, its genuinely embarrassing. 

[igsey]

Wow that grown man has a Joker tattoo on his thigh. Bet he scores and all. 

[nta786]

Long’s performance has really made me wonder what is Obafemi doing in training to not be ahead of him, even before his injury

[Chez]

Watts looked interesting, a few nice touches but not ready for Prem yet. Decent debut though.

[Saint_clark]

Fucking hell Adams, take it sooner...

[nta786]

Adams should have hit it earlier did everything right until then

Needs to score there...

perfect word. Glides like Zidane, but without the talent.

Yep, defo got something about him. Arguably our best player in the first half.

Bugger... Adams should score

[nta786]

JWP!!! 2-0!!!

[Saint_clark]

Brilliant JWP.

[obelisk]

JWP settles it

[DT]

Fantastic free kick. Please never sell him

[Saint Jude]

Finally
