Saints 0-0 Skates - Match Thread

[saintant]

Need to settle and get some decent possession because they are bossing this and their high press is better than ours.

[Smirking_Saint]

No foul there for me

 

On the game though, Manning looks like he doesn’t want the ball near him, he’s playing really nervy, we need to keep an eye on that

Defensively we aren’t dealing with crosses at all, and in possession we aren’t playing football, just lumping it

We need a huge improvement here

Should be playing 5 at the back...

You been on the Fosters?

[adrian lord]

I hope our chap wasn't booked? Not even a foul.

How is that a free kick against Fellows? Shit ref.

He would have been in on goal

[saintant]

Long again - what's the fucking point!

[Gloucester Saint]

Ogilvie has a huge bump on the side of his head. Their keeper looks to be struggling, get some crosses in and test him out. 

[CB Fry]

Obviously now loads of injury time at the end of the half for us to concede in

[adrian lord]

The Pompey manager is getting in the ear of the 4th official too much 

[gio1saints]

Stop hitting it long and high to Cam. Their CB just loves it.

Or score if we finally settle in.

[Dr Who?]

We look shaky at the back and we are still not gelled as a team. This is terrible. 

[AlexLaw76]

We are shite 

hoooooof

Quarter of the game gone and we haven't even started.

[benjii]

Lol 2 injury subs for them already.

[adrian lord]

Ref's a blue

[benjii]

Where do SR find these fucking joke managers.

Well Pompey haven’t scored whilst being in top, so plenty of time 

[Sunglasses Ron]

Are their keepers the same person?

[whelk]

Ahh for the days on one sub when if keeper done you were fucked

[Suhari]

Is that a clone coming on?

[SouSaint]

Fucking shocking so far

[sotonric]

Ha! I was going to ask if they were twins 😂

[saintant]

So far they don't even need a keeper.

[CB Fry]

Just think of the shots we can rain in on their sub keeper.

[Gloucester Saint]

Chance to re-group and get the ball down and use it properly. Try passing to a red shirt.

Their reserve keeper is similar-looking! Not more in-breeding?

[Lard]

We are shite

true story. 

[Lighthouse]

Are both their keepers extras on baywatch?

[stknowle]

Identical GKs

[adrian lord]

They got a Klopp-cam on the Pompey manager ffs

[benjii]

Really don't rate Azaz so far.

[JohnS]

Very disappointing start 

[Colinjb]

I knew the gene pool was limited on Portsea Island, but how can they clone a gk that precisely!?

[benjii]

Archer is actually pretty good at using his body. Just no use if the ball is above his head.

I don’t rate the team much! 

[saintant]

Fucking passing is shit.

I'm still thinking but it ain't happening.

Would help if he was actually passed to rather than smashing it into him. That’s why you pick Stewart if that’s the style.

Can’t control the ball

[Scully]

Are there ANY tactics at all apart from boot it up the field? We're not even making the space for it

[DrSuess1979]

Need to settle into this before we go 0-1 down 

[saintant]

We've played right into their hands here so far.

Doesn't matter because the ref would have had to stop the game for the head injury anyway.

What passing.  This is like watching a Branfoot team but without brick house players. Not sure a single hoof forward has been won by a Saints player

He’s had bugger all to work with on this showing. We’d be better off with Grant Holt, playing like this.

[Saint86]

Absolutely shocking start imo. Can't seem to string more than 2 passes together FFS 

[Turkish]

This has been shit so far

[Suhari]

Very, very disjointed this.
