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

Sky employ only braindead individuals so no surprises there

Gonna be one of those days isn’t it 

Crowd need to pressure the ref, quite weak and will fold eventually in a key moment.

How we are making Moore look like Haaland is beyond me.

Get Downs on.

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. 

Yep, It literally stopped the ball going on target it’s a pen all day

That was a penalty for us all day

It was a penalty for any other team.

We don’t though do we, a few boos and ironic cheers when we get a free kick will be as bad as it gets 

[Chez]

Moore waltzes past Stephens like he wasn't there...and then gets injured.

[Suhari]

Movement on the bench.

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. 

We've had loads of chances. Just need someone to hit the net.

[Saint_clark]

Still sent Downs, Fernandes, Matsuki and Archer to warm up after a long discussion with the other coaches.

[benjii]

Archer, Downs, Fernandes told to get warm.

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

He'll tell you he isn't good as a central striker.

You see, what happens is that when he gets a chance he thinks, "oh wait, I'm playing central striker aren't I?" and then fluffs it.

It's an FM coding thing...

Looks like Downs and maybe a couple of others coming on.

[Saint NL]

Downs and Fernandes warming up....

All 4 would probably improve the attack.

Get Downs and Fernandes on asap. At least Moore looks like he’s done. 

[Baird of the land]

Commentators are idiots. What’s proactive about a sub at 60 odd minutes.

Did he say ‘what shall I do?’ Clueless

[obelisk]

We've all had games where nothing goes right and we look like a clown. Edwards is having one of those.

[Turkish]

Moore off which is good he’s absolutely bullied the defence which is a worry 

[Saint_clark]

Danny Ward is one of the worst keepers I've ever seen and we're making his life far too easy. Straight at him.

[Turkish]

No he didn’t you dipstick 

[hypochondriac]

With no changes I can only conclude that Still is watching a different game to me.

You sure you're at the game? Sugawara has probably had the most touches outside of Downes and Charles.

Good to hear. He was the far side so sounds like I was harsh on him. He’s certainly involved this half. 

[Saint NL]

Another chance, another straight at the keeper

[Saint_clark]

55 minutes and they're time wasting. 

[RedArmy]

Downes is playing fucking shite. 

[Chez]

It's not all been bad from us, but Wrexham are not a great side. We need to step the tempo up.

[CB Fry]

WELL DONE SKIPPER

[Winnersaint]

Right im off for a swim in the Ionion Sea, hopefully things improve.

 

[Turkish]

Good play there from captain Jack

[obelisk]

Wrexham forward strolls past Saints back line again. Not offside.

[SNSUN]

Decent tackle by Stephens in the end

Gave Bazunu a volley for being glued to his line afterwards.

Learnt that from Jan Bednarek, go missing all game, lose your man, but as long as you make a couple of last ditch sliding blocks you'll get a big round of applause. 

[Baird of the land]

Did saints practice 3 at the back at all?

[benjii]

Well played Stephens. Quashie playing everyone on.

Not making excuses but He’s not really had much of a preseason has he? 

[Saint_clark]

I think that was aimed at Quarshie despite what the commentator said. The defence all stepped up to play offside but Quarshie was a second late doing so.

I'll be in the Med myself in around 24 hours with any luck.

[Sidney Fudpucker the 3rd]

As predicted. Getting beaten by the only team I hate as much as P****y. 

This is a new all time low for me. 😡

[stknowle]

Difficult chance gash effort

[Saint_clark]

Whats Armstrong shooting from there for FFS.

[Dr Who?]

I’m going back into the pool in Bodrum. Let’s hope we turn this around now!

Sorry, that’s odd. Spurs, Everton, Man U I could understand but Wrexham?

[Suhari]

Good changes.

[Sheaf Saint]

Downs coming on.

[RedArmy]

Edwards to right back in a 4?

And missed the target... Almost for a throw-in. 

[Saint_clark]

Fernandes and Downs on for Sugawara and Armstrong. Good subs.
