Our problem is we are being outnumbered in midfield. Will Still needs to make a change.

It's been that way for a long while now.

[Saint NL]

I forgot Archer was playing. Downs hardly touches the ball, but at least he's trying. 

[saintant]

Take a centre back off and bring on Downes or we lose this

[Andy Hill]

This has to be BBDs last chance. AA had his on Saturday. Both are awful.

[Gloucester Saint]

Stupid foul Sugawara. The shit players in the squad really are showing themselves.

I reckon we will improve and win second half in slightly cooler conditions but poor first half again.

[bpsaint]

MLG mode: commentator talking about Alex McCarthy being part of the 2017 league cup final team for us despite not even being in the squad that day.

As long as he doesn't om-Let a goal in, I'm happy.

Agreed. He was very highly rated by the QPR fans, but seems to have gone off the boil since returning.

and we are shite overall?

There’s just no cohesion

The ball isn’t sticking with our forwards and our midfield is getting over run

Our CBs look our best players atm

[obelisk]

Fernandes trying to knock a few £million off the asking price.

[Costa del Solent]

Not sure we’ll release a DVD of this one

Because they are not being pressed in open play, and can pass it about a bit (or lump it forward)

[saintant]

Nolan has worked out they need to flood the midfield and it's working. 

[tdmickey3]

Brereton Diaz is an absolute joke of a player, like a player from the dog and duck Sunday league 3rd eleven 

[Saint NL]

Sugawara should have scored. Good cross from Manning 

[saintant]

Our shape is horrible.

not hard to work out when Wrexham did that, and lump it forward when they win the ball back as we leave a massive gap between our midfield and back 3/defence

[Gloucester Saint]

That was better. Perkins taking a risk grabbing Sugawara’s shirt back post there.

[DrunkenSaint]

need to go with a back 4 and have another in the central midfield or drop bbd and get another CM in and play Fernandes as a Cam

[whelk]

FFS Downs

[Sheaf Saint]

Oh Downs. 

[tdmickey3]

How did he miss that

[Suhari]

Think he'll change at halftime? Didn't on Saturday.

 

Jesus Christ. What a miss from Downs.

[Mattio]

Very rusty, we’d have been smashed on Saturday had we played like this. 

[obelisk]

Downs misses a sitter.

[saintant]

Horrendous from Downs. He's very raw.

[AlexLaw76]

Another pathetic miss from Downs to go with the collection

[SambaMaverick]

Downs worse than Mara?

[Saint NL]

It was around this time on Saturday where we suddenly started to look better.... Let's see if it happens again

Did alright there, Downs was Sunday league though 😂

[Saint NL]

Wow, downs 🤦

[Saint Scott]

Downs = Adams Mk II

[Smirking_Saint]

Downs is Adams 2.0

[GrumpyYorkshireSaint]

Not a moment Downs will want to look back on

[CB Fry]

This is what happens when you play a weakened side.

[bpsaint]

Shambles

[OttawaSaint]

What a miss?!?!!?

Does Downs know he can just kick the ball into the net, he doesn't need to wait for permission?

[Turkish]

2nd game in a row he messes up a chance from a cross low into the 6 yard box very poor

We could field an entire team of awful players if required.

Worse than Carillo even

Glad we've got Downs in to supply the goals

He’s really snatching at it

Someone needs to calm him down i think

[AlexLaw76]

Downs is fucking pony

[jamesfp1]

Downs 2nd open goal miss 😂 Che Adams MkII

2 sitters In about 60 minutes of football 

[Chris cooper]

We have another Che Adams on our hands .. how has he missed .. same Saturday for Stephen’s goal ! 

[Lee On Solent Saint]

Why is it so hard for us to buy decent forward players? 

[Suhari]

Front three seem to have zero organisation.

Midfield non-existent.

Pretty sure this isn't what Will had planned.
