whelk Posted September 14 Posted September 14 Is Still going to drone on in his monotone voice at half time about this is just another game
Gloucester Saint Posted September 14 Posted September 14 This is like a game at Whaddon Road. League 2, ball in the air a lot, head tennis and lots of blind help ons.
AlexLaw76 Posted September 14 Posted September 14 Is this really the magic of Will Still? long passes to Archer?

BotleySaint Posted September 14 Posted September 14 Awful so far. We can't keep the ball or string any passes together. All very desperate.
SNSUN Posted September 14 Posted September 14 Afternoon all. Was on nights so just woke up. Now Saints can do the same amirite... Line up exactly what we wanted, bound to be a bit disjointed with newbies but once we gel we'll be as unstoppable as the swathe of Freshers trying to get to Bonnie Blue's bus at Newcastle Uni.
Sheaf Saint Posted September 14 Posted September 14 Our entire tactic so far seems to be 'lump it forwards to Archer'.
Colinjb Posted September 14 Posted September 14 Finally, ball controlled, passing it and stretching them.
Smirking_Saint Posted September 14 Posted September 14 If he wanted to play this shite long ball why start Archer ? 3
sotonric Posted September 14 Posted September 14 10 minutes since their sub keeper came on, and he could have spent the entire time sat on a deckchair.
Gloucester Saint Posted September 14 Posted September 14 Bar the Dozzell effort, lucky they’ve not had the quality Wrexham, Stoke and Watford had. Better move there. More like that please. Archer has done well, won and held up.
BotleySaint Posted September 14 Posted September 14 Just now, Sheaf Saint said: Wrong choice from Manning to hit that. Be he's been hitting them well lately so I don't blame him for having a go.
SaintsfanSwindon Posted September 14 Posted September 14 Dreadful. Charles the only player that has showed up so far.
Colinjb Posted September 14 Posted September 14 No space to run into on the right. Fraser hasn't had a sniff. The Skates are physical and organised.

Agree, that said Archer has played well and won his duels. Sadly he’s been on his own bar Charles. Edited September 14 by Gloucester Saint

benjii Posted September 14 Posted September 14 What the fuck are we doing so deep when they're on the ball.
Edmonton Saint Posted September 14 Posted September 14 Grim so far. Sloppy in possession and aimless punts up field toward Archer.
Sunglasses Ron Posted September 14 Posted September 14 Pretty shambolic so far TBH. Hopefully we’ll improve exponentially as they start to tire.
saintant Posted September 14 Posted September 14 Too big gap between our attack and midfield. Pompey much more compact and have a better shape. 2
benjii Posted September 14 Posted September 14 Utterly bizarre that we let their keeper walk up to the middle of their half under no pressure time after time. I honestly think our coaching must be pathetic. 1
Jonnyboy Posted September 14 Posted September 14 The Koeman days seem so long ago on a day like today 3

Agree I like archer, he’s probably my starting No.9 but he’s not going to hold the ball up Every long ball we lose comes straight back… I ‘think’ he’s trying to play how Ralph used to play, where you try to catch their back four in possession but they’ve dealt with it well.. and our press is lethargic 1
imadirtyurchin Posted September 14 Posted September 14 One of the Boro criticisms of Azaz when we signed him was that he had a tendency to go missing in big games. That seems accurate so far.
saintant Posted September 14 Posted September 14 Being outclassed here at home by Pompey. Let that sink in. 1

Gloucester Saint Posted September 14 Posted September 14 (edited) Add Baz claiming the ball positively and physically as a rare first half positive. Thought I’d add something to cheer up @Lighthouse and frankly us all. Edited September 14 by Gloucester Saint

Baird of the land Posted September 14 Posted September 14 why doesn't our so called manager do something to counteract way game is going 1
