Oh this is desperate, walking football, no zip, no passion.

Aribo has tried but the rest seem bereft of ideas.

This is utterly boring stagnant football from Saints.

Probably know we're not getting top two and not falling out of the playoffs so why risk injury. Just treat the games as high intensity training sessions.

The Blackburn commentator knows fuck all. Wittering on. Like hearing my nan comment on the game

He just said that Armstrong won't celebrate if he scored, but if Gallagher scores then he'll definitely celebrate.

 

Ok cool

my word they are five on three here. Two Rovers unmarked in the six yard box. Bloody hell. Good job THB cuts the cross out.

Some good opportunities to break quickly and yet we knock it back and sideways.. this isn’t thoroughbred football.. it’s nodding donkeys in a farmyard. Players are being  stagnated by this no risk football..

Our play in a nutshell.

Martin is willing to offer up the spaces down the flanks. He offsets that by having numbers in the midfield who should dominate and create passes through for the attackers.

Except those extra numbers result in disjointed, mostly plodding, posession that doesn't create enough, with the knowledge we're concede somewhere along the way, if not from the gaps.

Blackburn pressing hard and we crumble.

A change of plan (not overpassing in our own box) might be needed (temporary)  or we might get caught here.

Very unimpressed with Brooks just now. He lazily assumed the ball would come to him so started running forward and waited for it to come, but the Blackburn player just nipped in and took it. He then jogs back as they are attacking from that and lets his man run completely free into the box.

I know we didn't sign him for his defensive capabilities, but that was very poor.

The problem with that approach is that we will go into the playoffs without momentum

Still not really seeing what all the fuss about Brooks was about.

you missed the great run earlier when he beat the full back, got to the byeline and caused them huge problems? Thats what he can do.

This is so so dull. No intensity, no pace, no desire. Movement off the ball is poor, no runners, nothing. Fuck off Russell

what position is Russell playing?

Feel sorry for the fans who have travelled up for this. Awful performance so far. 

Don't feel sorry for them they've got to witness nearly 80% possession they will be over the moon!

Enjoyed that little phase where the Comms were praising Rothwell and how he can run with the ball. Suddenly the ball does fall for Rothwell and you could feel the excitement from the commentators and Rothwell fumbles and gives the ball away 😂

that's all he has done mind. 

Got to say that Fraser has done far less, but he's a fans favourite, so doesn't get called out.

Comfortably in the playoffs. What exactly were you expecting from the season?

I was expecting the same as the owners...

Not to be out of the automatic race with 8 games to go. 

But you know that
