Saints 0-0 Skates - Match Thread

[Suhari]

Looking better.

[Baird of the land]

get stewart on

[SNSUN]

More movement lads. We seem surprised to be attacking. 

Skates on the attack now. 🙄

[ButtikonSaint]

got two decent crossers but no one on the end... time for a little and large front two?
 

[Colinjb]

Where has this space all of a sudden come from?

[coalman]

This is so much better. We're not just instantly returning the ball to them.

[SNSUN]

Got the big guns out here. Rub MLT's nose for luck.

We're holding the ball a bit longer so they have to work harder to press and it's not so obvious when the through ball is coming.

[Colinjb]

Jander for Downes please

[Sheaf Saint]

63 mins in now. Any movement on the bench?

[JohnnyShearer2.0]

Decision making has been poor. 

Hate the Murphy brothers.

Ffs what was Mads waiting for! Still better from Saints. 

Yellow for Downes of course. 

[Scoobysaint]

Get Downes off and the German lad on. 

[Baird of the land]

swinging aerial crosses in without a target man really

[John Boy Saint]

Downes getting closer to a day off 🙄

[Sheaf Saint]

That's a harsh booking for Downes. Obviously going for the ball and only just missed it.

[Chez]

Manning's marking of Poole there is criminal, pathetic.

Yeah but he created that situation by needlessly giving the ball away

[Galway saint]

We play two wingers and a short arse up front 

 

[Scoobysaint]

We pass the ball to the full back and then it’s too tight up the line. Surely we can pass the ball from FB into one of the two midfielders, who can then release the wingers for them to run on to. Too many players are getting the ball at a standstill, facing their own goal. Limits the options they have.

[Tanlee]

Lost count how many times Downes has given skqtes the ball today. Robinson or scienza on soon hopefully 

[Suhari]

Time to leg it to the plane.

Score a goal for me Saints!

[Sheaf Saint]

Jander on for Downes and Robinson on for Fraser please.

[Gloucester Saint]

Skate makes most of Mads follow up. Yellow fair though.

Poor header from them. They’re giving us the ball now. Much better second half but only really Archer chance created and that was his own work.

archer providing good threat with his pace though. can't have both, sadly

[adrian lord]

I'm going to stick my neck out and predict 0-0.

That threat that has resulted in zero shots

[hypochondriac]

Lumping it forward to fraser and archer. Pointless.

[benjii]

On top but not doing enough.

Jelert for Mads, Jander for Downes, Leo for Azaz.

[coalman]

Stewart <> Archer
Jander <> Downes

please

[SNSUN]

Redhead time...

Something for every persuasion...

[bangkoksaint]

Still doesn’t know what to do

[Chez]

bad yellow to get for roerslev. murphy had enough to keep quiet.

[Willo of Whiteley]

Azaz and Downes need to be subbed off. Ineffective and yellow carded.

[Colinjb]

Time to change Still.

Let's use that apparently strong bench.

[BotleySaint]

This could be won by their first shot on target.

[SNSUN]

Subs please Will. Some tired legs now. 

[Baird of the land]

Zero plan from still in how we're going to score a goal.

70 minutes in and the useless clown hasn't made a change.

Jelert needs to come on, Still seems frozen.

fair point, but n his pace allowed him to nip past the keeper only to fuck his shot up from a tight angle. Our best chance. he has looked a threat in the second half.

[danjosaint]

Downes is fucking wank

[HKsaint]

Still is still

Agree but good burst forward there. Crap corner yet again. 

[Colinjb]

Doubt Kilips injured. Buying time for a manager's briefing.

he's been really poor. Not sure Azaz has done much either.

[BotleySaint]

Pompey keeper down. Surely time wasting only. 

[Colinjb]

Welcome, Casper Jander.

[Baird of the land]

with an actual target man we might have actually scored, unfortunately still doesn't care about winning.

[bangkoksaint]

At last🙄
