Saints 2-1 Wrexham - Match Thread

[Charlie Wayman]

What a player we have in Jay Robinson, this boy is going to be a super star. Hope we can hold onto him for a couple of years.

Sadly, one of them led to the penalty.

I didn't say they were good touches 😂

Wow, just wow.

People blaming Stephen's for Edward's mistake (when Stephens had the player covered), bazunu for not saving the penalty.

Awful squad still and a terrible side put out by the manager.

Armstrong and Fraser up top (wtf).  It says something when by and far away our best player is a nipper (Robinson).  And another nipper that did really well (Sesay) does not even make the bench.

Downes and Charles have not been good either.

Terrible start to the season.

I don't disagree with your points but its only 45 minutes ffs man!!! 

Lots will still change!!

Good to see the possession trophy is staying in Southampton once again.

At least it wasn’t a handball for a change,

lol no it wasn't. Edwards literally ran up behind him and pushed him squarely in the back with both hands. It was a brainless thing to do and the most clear penalty you will ever see. 

Yeah, it was absolutely brain dead as it wasn't a sure fire goal, angle was so so and Baz was coming. Let him shoot instead of giving the pen 

[santolijador]

Unchanged. 

 

[capitalsaint]

We're going to turn it on in the second half. Easy win.

It needs to. Still needs to blister the home dressing room paint, back 4, extra CM and get Fernandes on. 

[Midfield_General]

No changes at half time. Mental. 

[Saint_clark]

Wow, the stadium looks less than half full.

[SNSUN]

Good thing is we have players on the bench that can change the way we play. Question is when Still uses them.

It is like the shit-train has not been cleaned out at all.

Same fucking shit. This reminds me a bit of Juric.

[DT]

Turns out Championship Manager is harder in the flesh and not in a shit French league

Yet despite that we could be 3-0 or 3-1 down 

stats mean fuck all 

The Downes and AA chances were pretty good opportunities. We can because little harsh on ourselves.

[St. Ciervo]

No changes... 

Bring me the bleach.

Sky not showing us whether or not Moore was offside so we have to assume he was.

They showed it. He was well on.

Bad thing is we aren’t using them yet. 

[ally_uk]

Defence = shite 

Midfield = non existent 

Strikers = midgets with no end product.

 

Conclusion = Absolute garbage, Fernandes and Downes on 2nd half 

Whoever gave Stephens a 3 year deal is a twat. 

 

[RedArmy]

That’s a penalty

Not another manager that only makes changes at 70mins

[Turkish]

That should be a pen

Put a bit of mayonnaise on a shit sandwich and it's still a shit sandwich.

Whether it was actually Einstein or @Whitey Grandad who said it, it is very true of Saints and Sports Republic https://professorbuzzkill.com/2017/05/29/einstein-insanity-qnq/

[saintant]

That's a fucking penalty.

[obelisk]

Handball! Ref misses it.

[miserableoldgit]

Definite handball!

[benjii]

Well that's a clear pen

[Saint_clark]

Co-commentator is saying no. What a joke. Clear as day.

[Turkish]

Gonna be one of those days isn’t it 

[V.Johnathan.Wilson]

Stephens could've played Moore offside if he had moved forwards in anticipation of his run. 

[SNSUN]

Charles does look much better than when I saw him in our last Championship season. Match experience.

[Saint NL]

Where is var when you need it 

[Gloucester Saint]

Thats handball. Charles was right.

And shocking effort by AA.

[obelisk]

Hinchcliffe is a joke as well. 

[benjii]

Armstrong missed another great chance.

[leeham_69]

Surprises me but Flynn looked like a really weak link. Absolutely allergic to a forward pass, almost every time he gets the ball he ends up just holding it until the opposition are all comfortably behind the ball and there's no space left.

FUCK me that's a blatant handball

forgot a word

[Edmonton Saint]

Armstrong is gash.

[AlexLaw76]

get Arma off ffs.

what was that

[Baird of the land]

That’s a penalty. Clearly not against darling Wrexham though.

[DrSuess1979]

Sky coms making out it’s a natural position to have your arm 🙈

[Chez]

Armstrong should do a lot better there. That's three chances he has had now.

[AlexLaw76]

That was a penalty for us all day

[RedArmy]

Stephens nearly getting put on his arse by Moore. Embarrassing. 

[Saint_clark]

He's a fucking prick. It doesn't matter if it's intentional, if you literally save a shot it's a handball. Only way it wouldn't be in that situation is if his hand was in front of his body and the shot would have hit him anyway.

Co-commentator is atrocious. Must be on the same Disney bonus list as the ref.

[St. Ciervo]

Where is MLG to remind me that AA is actually good? I very much need reminding.

[saintant]

Edwards looks far too slow for this level.

[SNSUN]

Feels like it. No VAR to help us either!

[Dr Who?]

This has a very strange familiar feel feel to it. Loads of possession, tapping the ball around, but no end product? Let’s hope that changes.
