Saints 1-3 Bournemouth - Match Thread

[OttawaSaint]

Maybe the plan is that we are so bad, that if we try to lose we'll fuck it up and win?

I've just reached for the big incontinence pants...gonna need them with this line up. 

[Spoonman]

Can’t comprehend why Leslie doesn’t start if fit, this won’t be pretty.

[Saint NL]

At least there'll be plenty of goals. Nothing more boring than 0-0s 🥴

[OttawaSaint]

Might as well just start punching myself in the balls right now. Why wait for kickoff...

[Baird of the land]

Happy to see onachu. Also glad to see wood over manning.

cm is a real issue. Very doubtful about smallbone/Aribo partnership but then don’t we’ve got any great options there. Wish we’d actually recalled Charles.

[Galway saint]

 Can anyone think of a worse starting midfield put out by saints in the PL ?

[Lighthouse]

James Bree, Nathan Wood and Will Smallbone all starting a Premier League football match together. What a time to be alive.

Our three or five what ever you prefer to call it at the back is not working at all. We have had this formation all season. With our two measly midfielders and their 4231 they will completely dominate the midfield and play straight through us.

why would today be any different unless you fix us being outnumbered in central midfield.

It’s time our managers were called out on this and asked to justify the formation by our local journalists. 
Blackmore with just ask for latest on Downes which is as tactical as he gets…

Is there some rule preventing us playing a central midfield?

That comparison doesn't really work, as the Maginot line was an extremely well-fortified defence (that the Germans went around). Which is the strong part Bournemouth will avoid?

I'll let you enjoy this one MLG, it was earned hahaha

[Gingeletiss]

What happens next? Saints on a record 6 home defeats, Bournemouth on a record 6 away undefeated……….answers please!

[macca155]

Jesus racist wankers on the way to the ground. Just had several barneys, I really need them today

Patriotic Alliance my arse. Deport the lot of them and replace with Syrian Doctors.

I'll take a draw today COYS

[gio1saints]

Warm up looks lackadaisical I’m sorry to say. Those hoping for a brutally fast do or die start - like me - being totally in their faces -all over the pitch - may be disappointed. VERY relaxed looking squad. Too relaxed. Maybe 

Aaron was practising how far he can kick ball. That’s not a clue is it? 🤓

Please let them be saving energy. Please.
oh and btw - WILL SMALLBONE IS 100% going to get a yellow. Get your money on! NB 7/2!

I can't think of a worse starting midfield put out by any team in PL history.

[Lighthouse]

It’s going to take more than slutty nuns to win today. I’ll try a lucky neutron star.

 

[Midfield_General]

That side has maybe 3 premier league quality players in it.

More than that, but not enough to stay up as the Championship level players pull it down overall.

1 Ramsdale

2 Walker-Peters

3 Welington

4 Bednarek

5 Fernandes

6 Sulemana

Plus on the bench

7 Bella-Kotchap

8 Gronbaek

9 Dibling

Guess you were hoping for an all up and at em’ start like Martins style

[Saint NL]

Our players should be rested at least

This explains why it’s always too easy to be saints on FM.

Saints have the worst squad in the Premier League in the FM database.

C'mon boys. Fight and flair, please! Give me that I don't care what the result is.*

If Smallbone gets a yellow I’ll celebrate - it will mean he’s actually tried to put a fucking tackle in!

Get the lube ready - it’s going to hurt.

Red and white giveaway machine...

[obelisk]

Saints under pressure already.

[Saint NL]

We give the ball away so cheaply. 

Time after time

[johnnyboy]

Anybody know if the FM database still exists and is still being kept up to date ? Asking for a friend !

[northam soul]

Link to a stream anyone?

[OttawaSaint]

Leicester are fucking shit but at least looked like a football team this morning. We look so utterly clueless, random, and out of our depth.

[Saint NL]

Brooks has tackled Welington and won the ball twice already. He didn't do that at all last season

[obelisk]

Cook catches Sully. Gets a yellow.

Thus fulfilling Martin's instructions at the time.

[Saint NL]

Cook must have been watching Downes and learned how to get that yellow

Apparently Musk and Trump made themselves the directors and have fired everyone except MLG.

Hard to, Wellington was in Brazil...

[obelisk]

Poor free kick. Again.

[Saint_clark]

Really like Wellington so far.
