Saints 2-1 Wrexham - Match Thread

[tdmickey3]

Defence is poor,terrible by Edward’s, Stephens absolutely anonymous 

[DrSuess1979]

He’s been throwing himself down all game waiting for one to be in the box 

Then bingo 

comical defend should never put a hand on him to in the box 

[RedArmy]

That’s the kind of thing a defender does when he has no faith in his goalkeeper to make a save.

Bazs fault. Got it.

[hypochondriac]

Why the fuck would you have loads of strikers and start the game with none of them? Makes no sense.

Weird dive. Went full length the right way but still didn’t really cover more than the middle of the goal. Did he start too far over?

It's pretty simple. He's shit.

[Challenger]

Why do we always make it so easy for the opposition ? Is it down to lack of pace, fitness,crab football or just down right naivity ?

"Higher threshold" they said. Slight touch on his back and he throws himself down, penalty. Cunts.

You serious? He pushed him in the back, in the box without playing the ball. It doesn't get more blatant

Unless we change something, we are going to get well beaten here

Agreed. Way too much complacency this summer. This attack can’t even lay a glove on fucking Wrexham.

The willingness for this club to stick with Stephens will be our downfall. When he got injured early in our promotion season and THB partnered Jan - that was when we started to get the results. I hope he has a good season - but we've had years of seeing what he can do.

Someone who can hold the ball up would be a start

[Andy Hill]

For Gods sake - take Armstrong off now. He offers nothing.

[Osvaldorama]

LOL we are so shit. 
 

So fucking predictable as well. 
 

Lettuce hands nowhere near the penalty. Arma horrific as a central striker. 
 

We just repeat the same mistakes, over and over, and over. 

Absolute joke of a club 

[Suhari]

If AA worked at it, he could do a passable impression of The Ibiza Final Boss.

Not a Bazunu fan at all but that is 100% Edwards. Him and Stephens have ball watched several times already. And as someone else put, Moore is hardly peak Sadio Mane for pace. If THB goes, he must be replaced and perhaps loan Edwards out again. Miles off being good enough for Saints from this display.

Pumping it Long for armstrong, are these clowns serous

[Saint_clark]

Ward had hold of the ball for 12 seconds there. That rules gone already.

It wasn't a shove. He put his hands up because Moore slowed down and he was about to run into him, then Moore threw himself down as he has done all game. 

Now the commentator saying it should be a red card as well fuck me 😂

That's a hot take. Looked a very blatant shove to me. Just look at the extension of his arms. That's not the action of someone just trying to avoid a collision.

[bpsaint]

I think a lot of people underestimated Wrexham pre match, and overestimated our squad.

[AlexLaw76]

They are making us play on the outside, which means the ball is going in to the crowd, where Amstrong is a terrible central striker....

[Oldandtired]

Only the first game I know but I don't think we'll be in this division next year. Not sure which one we will be in though.

[Greenridge]

Centre midfield completely anonymous 

[AlexLaw76]

go to a back 4, ffs

[Obstacle1]

Isnt it fairly obvious that when youre playing a team that sits back and defends you might need a striker with some physical presence?

[qwertyell]

Really poor from Edwards. Not only caught square, and outpaced by the not quick Moore, but Stephens also somehow got back quicker than him - and he's slow as shit.

Yeah can’t get on board with wanting to ping crosses in and having Armstrong to aim at.

[Saint_clark]

Ignores a shove on Charles, ok fair enough pretty soft. 

Gives a foul for the same thing a few seconds later to Wrexham. Fuck off.

[James]

Edwards is very naive defending Moore here.

[DrSuess1979]

Imagine getting out paced by a cart horse 

Edward’s having a nightmare

Shite defending, also out paced by Kiefer Moore FFS

Not looking to jump on his back, but a center back with a little pace would have cut Moore off, but Stephens is slow.

[obelisk]

Edwards needs to calm down a bit.

[Suhari]

I like that we're chucking crosses in. But that's not going to work with AA up front.

Downs at half time please.

[John Boy Saint]

Seems we just twigged how to play it into tall Paul ………..oh!

We've got 4 on the bench. I wouldn't even wait til HT to swap one of them for Armstrong. He's been completely useless in this formation.

I don’t think we will be seeing any emojis with ducks and cigars today.

[bpsaint]

Putting in a cross to Armstrong and Fraser 😂 what’s the fucking point.

Look at what Wrexham are doing with a tall striker in the box causing chaos.

What would we know hey? We are only compelled to endlessly watch this shite.

[James]

We are all over the place here. This is as bad as last season so far.

[benjii]

Edwards. WTF again. Didn't need to foul there.

[SNSUN]

Really want Edwards to have a good season but he's having a mare against Moore so far.

[RedArmy]

Stephens is so shit 

[Stripey McStripe Shirt]

Predicting a 4-0 loss now.

Been said many times but he looks SO SMALL in that goal. I have zero confidence in him.

[AlexLaw76]

On what logic would we play Arma as a central striker (against their 3 CBs) and lob balls into him

What is that about?

[Turkish]

This is awful we could be 2 or 3 down

[Saint_clark]

Stephens watching his man head it over the bar. Three more years.

[obelisk]

Saints defending is woeful. Lucky to be only one behind as Wrexham miss another sitter.
