Saints 2-1 Wrexham - Match Thread

[Sheaf Saint]

Archer on for Downes?

[Saint_clark]

Don't understand why all subs can't be made at the same time. That was so much time wasted there.

[Chez]

Do sides that win the championship ever lose their first game? 

Wrexham very deep. Not much room to play with.

[East Kent Saint]

7 shots on target no goals , Saturday sinking feeling again ....

he has been alright..

He has, ball striking lacks venom though. Lallana was like that at first, hopefully like it did with Adam he develops it.

Straight at keeper though.

We need to create chances. Watch the amount of ball we have dry up. Bringing extra strikers on us not always the answer.

 

We don't have any wingers to bring on. That needs addressing to give Still more options.

I'm sure there is the Reading example who got dicked in their first game and then got 90+ points. Something like that.

[obelisk]

Even Fernandes giving the ball away.

[OttawaSaint]

Bottom of the league as things stand...

[Gloucester Saint]

Stephens did his best with that but another delivery without any pace to work with to get it up and down,

Wrexham put a peach in but nobody attacks it thankfully.

[Wsaint]

I've really missed this club ruining my weekends, glad it's back.

[bangkoksaint]

Wonder what our identity is this season?

[stknowle]

Just all looks ragged and disjointed. So disappointing but who is really fucking surprised.

[AlexLaw76]

all well and good we have had 20 shots, but apart from hitting the post, we have not been that threatening..

[Saint_clark]

Fair play Stephens he did really well there. Edwards piss poor again.

[hypochondriac]

Actually played alright this half but sadly have very little threat

We identify as a non-scoring team.

Stephens has played well largely. 

[Saint NL]

Fuck me, wide open

[AlexLaw76]

Great from Stephens there

[RedArmy]

Ref is comical at this point. That’s 2 penalties we should have had now. 

[OttawaSaint]

Back to, let's just throw a bunch of subs on and I'm sure they'll figure things out...

When he has bothered to get involved 

[benjii]

Surprised how slow and lumbering Edwards looks. Really disappointing. 

[Chez]

Defence completely missing. Quarshie went AWOL. 

[Turkish]

2 pens we should have had now 

[obelisk]

Ref fails to see some shirt pulling. Obviously no penalty. Ref's a cheat.

[6ft8saint]

We just look bereft of any quality and any idea of how to play oh and not enough goal scoring shots

[Saint_clark]

That's another fucking pen. Christ almighty this refs a prick.

[Sheaf Saint]

Edwards is a fucking liability. Stephens bailed him out there.

[Baird of the land]

Cheating ref

[St. Ciervo]

Another penalty robbed for us. I actually miss VAR. This tastes like a sh**-taco.

[Gloucester Saint]

Risky shirt pull, we’ve had those given against us. Ref has missed two. Charles is giving the ref a load.

[benjii]

Two clear VAR pens 

[CB Fry]

Isn't it brilliant how proactive we've been?

[tdmickey3]

Ref missed a nail on pen, what a surprise.

Lifetime ticket to Disney World

[badgerx16]

You can see the Hollywood influence in Wrexham's acting.

[skintsaint]

Ref so one sided it isnt funny.

[AlexLaw76]

Another penalty....glad we dont have VAR anymore

[Turkish]

How the fuck has he given a free kick against Robinson there? Jesus wept 

[bpsaint]

This ref really is a cunt.

[Sheaf Saint]

VAR gives that every time.

This. Poor.

Yeah it’s interesting 

[Saint_clark]

How is he giving that as a foul to them? There must be a script for Wrexham this season that the refs have been given.

[Saint Scott]

This fucking ref

[obelisk]

Desperate all out attack now then. Stewart on.

[badgerx16]

Another blatant penalty.....
