Ipswich 1-1 Saints - Match Thread

[Chez]

what the fuck are we doing? 

sleeping. Someone go down injured and lets get things sorted out.

[Saint Matty 76]

Those changes make us significantly worse, surprised Dibling isn’t getting 20.

[RedArmy]

Have we taken a single corner that’s beaten the first man? 

[BotleySaint]

Robinson looking excellent. Could easily have had a second today. 

[sockeye]

Robinson, good strike once more.

[64saint]

Robinson and Fernandes coming off says the commentator, wtf ????

lovely first touch from Robinson on the move.

Robinson looked knackered after that chance just now to be fair.

[Suhari]

Hmmm. Not sure about those changes.

Let's see.

[Tommy]

Oh goody Archer on to get blown around by the wind.

No, they have been hopeless 

[obelisk]

Not sure about taking Robinson off.

Robinson faded badly last week...but there are several looking a little leggy.

[Saint_clark]

I do like that when going for a goal Still gets more bodies in the forward line rather than going like for like.

[stknowle]

No way should we be hooking MF. 

[LiberalCommunist]

I bloody hope Archer has had a single weetabix.

He had run out of steam, we were being totally over run in midfield (as per)

[Tommy]

Get Dibling on, if he wants his move what better way than a 15min cameo including a banger into the top corner

[benjii]

Really sloppy this half. Would take a point now.

[Saint Matty 76]

Awful from Quarshie and Stephens

I wonder if he took a slight knock too. He was holding his knee. Hopefully nothing.

[obelisk]

Stephens' turn to do something daft in defence. Lucky boy.

[Saint86]

Well played bazunu. Quick reactions and very brave, and if he doesn't get that it's a pen or a red etc.

Stephens 🤦🤦🤦

[stknowle]

FFS so many mistakes. Lucky not to be punished again there.

[Saint NL]

Fuuuuuck, that was close. Lucky the ref gave us that one

[Saint_clark]

Oh Stephens. 

 

Bazunu did brilliantly.

[saintant]

Jack being Jack there - Baz bails him out.

[AlexLaw76]

Terrible form Quarshie (again) and Stephens. 

Ref got that right...but fraction of a second in it

Three big Weetabix this morning hopefully.

[bangkoksaint]

We’re not winning this 

[BotleySaint]

Idiotic from an experienced defender. 

[Jack]

Absolutely calamitous as a back 3 again. Really think WS needs to rethink that 

[Saint NL]

I was going to say that Stephens is the only CB that hasn't dropped a clanger and then he does that

[sockeye]

Snap your hand off for a point now.

[Tommy]

That’s what 1-1 means 😳🤣

[AlexLaw76]

Hoof up to Armstrong again, and back it comes

Flexibility my arse

Gave the right decision, do you mean?

[die Mannyschaft]

Again another back header/pass leading to a chance for opponents. This tactic is ingrained into Saints players. Can you imagine another play off final with this defensive tactic.

[Saint NL]

Just now, Whitey Grandad said:

After seeing the replay, yes. But on first look it could have gone either way

[Whitey Grandad]

We are clearly short of a few good players..

[Saint NL]

I'll say it again, this commentator is a right Muppet

Although I’d argue Spors needs to sort it out for him. Is only using it because we lack the wide players and hold up striker we need. Starting to make Les Reed look dynamic.

Yep. Quarshie isn't ready yet imo. Edwards or Wood need to be playing instead.

Stephens, the gift that keeps on giving. 

[Farmer Saint]

Perspective please guys - this is the best team in the League by a distance. We still have a shit defence (as we have had for years). 

I had this down as a loss.

[Saint_clark]

Still none the wiser as to what Matsuki is like.

Well it's currently 1-1, so you're right - we're not winning this.

[John Boy Saint]

This in becoming first cock up wins😁

Without a decent RB, and a decent 3rd CM, we can't play 433. Still is working with what he's got.

Behave.
