Saints 2-1 Wrexham - Match Thread

[SNSUN]

AA should play wide or not at all. He's not a striker and never has been. I like him but I'm hoping we use Downs or Stewart as a target man through this season.

 

Sugawara and Armstrong off for Matty and Downs.

I'd like to see Fernandes and Downs on at HT for Suga and Arma, revert to 4-2-3-1

Baz

Edwards Stephens Quarshie Wellington

Downes Charles

Fraser Fernandes Robinson

Downs

 

Should of done this at half time

[hypochondriac]

Waiting until 60 minutes to bring on our better places is both head and leg mental. 

[obelisk]

Not much urgency from Saints. Game drifting.

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

Enjoy mate, leave this game and spend time in the pool. This is dreadful. Hopefully the subs kick the team up the arse.

[St. Ciervo]

Great subs. Should have been in 60 minutes ago.

Edwards to right back in a 4? 

I think Fraser's gone to RWB.

[Saint NL]

Looks like we're going for it, will be wide open at the back, but might as well try

[Saint_clark]

Is there a washing machine on near the microphone, wtf is that noise.

[Chez]

The drop in division hasn't allowed Sugawara to shine. Lacks quality.

[bpsaint]

Armstrong looks more worried about his hairline than he does scoring a goal 

[SNSUN]

Umm... I'd take a point? 😄

[Gloucester Saint]

Reverted to Martin ball, move it quicker lads

[bangkoksaint]

Has Ward actually made a meaningful save?🙄

Both that and his place are endangered.

[obelisk]

Too slow Saints.

[Saint_clark]

Not a huge amount of movement off the ball, is there?

Several

Neither keeper has really, he’s had a bit more to do than Gavin but only just.

[SNSUN]

All a bit slow and ploddy from Saints ffs. Come on lads, we are losing!

Hangover from last year maybe. Players confidence still destroyed. 

[obelisk]

Sloppy and slow passing from Saints. Where's the urgency?

[Saint86]

Really poor from the home fans again, does have to be said.

When the new CB is trying to rile up the home fans first game of the season, you know it's bad.

Passing is too careless.

I mean... He hasn't moved for any of them yet though. A potted fern in a kit could save the shots AA put on.

Yeah. It's all very turgid.

Need some spark from somewhere.

[Willo of Whiteley]

Sounds like we’re playing dogshit then, who’d have thought it

[RedArmy]

Every time Downes gives the ball away they are in behind straight away. The penalty for their goal being one of them. 

[hypochondriac]

Call be nostradamus but I don't think we are getting anything here. 

[HKsaint]

Back to back relegation fight! Come on 

[St. Ciervo]

Again... right into Ward. 

[Saint_clark]

Fuck sake stop shooting straight at Ward, he's absolutely wank test him properly.

[Gloucester Saint]

Good recovery pace Quarshie. Our deliveries are flat. Nice feet Robinson but doesn’t strike the ball cleanly I’ve noticed. 

Better from Fernandes. Charles looks miles better than Downes who looks leggy.

[Saint NL]

Two passes and they have a 2 v 2.

Meanwhile we're lumbering around in midfield 

[SNSUN]

Good from Jay, needed and end product

[Chez]

Quarshie pace exactly what is needed.

[Saint NL]

Unlucky Robinson. Yet another time where we hit it straight at the keeper

Turning into one of those "on another day...." days.

[SNSUN]

If we can score I think they crumble.

[AlexLaw76]

I guess we won't be judging the outcome of a season on just one game then (like last night)?

[Saint NL]

These crosses are shite

Luckily for them we can’t score.

The one he didn’t know much about from Frazer 

[tdmickey3]

Not going to happen is it and they will seal it on the break

[Edmonton Saint]

Impressed with Robinson 

[Saint_clark]

Manning on for injured Welington, Archer on for Downes. 

[Baird of the land]

So little bravery from us. First thought is always to pass back and never to take anyone on.

We will be having many of those until we invest Championship significant fees in quality wide players and at least #10 even if one of MF/TD stays. Need another box to box midfielder too.

Easy for Connor Cody, he could mop those up all day
