Hull 3-1 Saints - Match Thread

[OttawaSaint]

We seem to have 11 players but not a team.

[Osvaldorama]

Downs is one of the worst players I’ve ever seen 

 

why the fuck did he do that? It was our corner 

[Lee On Solent Saint]

McBurnie is an absolute cunt

[RedArmy]

Why are these fucking idiots not playing the ball into Azaz ffs. He’s there begging for the ball at every opportunity and they carry on moving it sideways. 
 

shit fucking football. Cunts 

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Faced with looking for movement from his own team, THB ends up hoofing it out.

We are incredibly slow in getting our moves started. The paciest moments are when we try to play RussBall, and we know that wasn;t quick a lot of the time. 

We just have no drive, pottering around hoping that their defence falls over, rather than pushing at them.

That said, we've lumbered into their third a few times in recent minutes. The Downs effort that should have been on target, and a shot there from Fellows that was no where. Downs just giving away a freekick when it would have been our corner. >sigh<

[Dr Who?]

Downs is not to bright. Saved us having to screw up another corner! 

[Saint NL]

Jander must be confused by these English refs. Every time he goes near an opponent they get a free kick 😂

dock him a weeks wages for that one

[Saint Matty 76]

Downs looks pretty useless out there, to be honest.

Hope this is a quote-able post by full time but I’d get Archer on sharp-ish.

You sense if Hull got another before half time then we won't be coming back.

They are just waiting for the mistakes. Easy for them so far.

Still did say they will be staying up North.

[Sheaf Saint]

The movement up front is just non existent. There was a moment just now where Manning had the ball in space on the left, but instead of charging into the box to get on the end of a cross, all our forward players moved backwards FFS. 

Brainless from Downs there, and then McBurnie completely cons the ref into giving him a FK like the little cock he is.

This is fucking dire. 

[OneMrsWallace]

McCarthy has his faults but surely he's a better option than Baz. Not aware our play is based on the keeper passing out so McCarthy should get the nod. 

[Mr X]

Hull look like scoring another!

Azaz making all the movement and finding the space and just getting ignored. 
 

Wankers. 

It happened Sunday as well mate. 

[saint michael]

Wow how shit we are 

[Miltonaggro]

All of the ‘bedwetters’ on here who dared suggest we might need to buy proven players at keeper, centre back and centre forward must be feeling pretty sheepish now!  #steelspine

[Holmes_and_Watson]

We get into their third: They are already there, because it's taken us an age to get up there, and we have no momentum.

They get the ball in our third and have runners, and we seem to fall back to make blocks from being on the back foot. 

That seems to be our season so far. It's very poor

[whelk]

I am starting to hate our manager

[bpsaint]

This is a complete and utter shambles, honestly no cohesion whatsoever. We looked miles better under Martin and that was bad enough.

[Dr Who?]

Laboured and no zip to our passing! 

[OttawaSaint]

We play so slowly. Infuriating.

[stknowle]

Dear oh dear this is so poor. 

[Obstacle1]

Why would you not start your best finisher, who is definitely Archer

[Sheaf Saint]

Why didn't Roerslev cross it FFS!

[benjii]

Hope the crowd give it to them. 

[Edmonton Saint]

We have the talent, so if we can’t galvanize that into any sort of cohesion or system then that is 100% on Still.

[Jack]

Mads has been horrendous. Crossing opportunities and we just want to knock it to the CBs? Thought we wanted to play quickly into their third? 
 

Either WS is full of shit or his players aren’t doing as instructed 

[Wade Garrett]

Is it too soon to say that our RB is shit?

[Osvaldorama]

Downs might be the worst striker we’ve ever signed, and that’s a really shocking thing to say. 

He has the touch of Carrillo, the finishing of onuachu and the strength of Mara. 
With the football intelligence of Ali dia 

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Stephens sees some space... and actually moves into it. What's this... he strides into the midfield, and Hull have to drop back to pick up defensive positions... we look capable for a second and we get an actual attack. 

Comes to nothing obviously, but finally a moment of forward thinking though. 

[LiberalCommunist]

Are we being punished for being mean to Russell Martin?

[tdmickey3]

Absolutely pathetic AGAIN 

[RedArmy]

No, he is fucking awful. 

[Totton Saint]

Have we learned nothing from the Pompey game?

 

[saint michael]

Always receiving the ball with back to goal and laying ball back then passing along front line and fizzing out 

[Appy]

Whenever any of our creative players get into any space, no one is moving.

No doubt we did. We do not seem to have any style or way of playing. I’m not sure I know what we are trying to do. We seem badly managed if this is a case. 

I know there is a long way to go in this game and the season, but I’m very alarmed, and I like to think I am a positive person. 

[Saint NL]

Fraser rolls the ball back to the keeper.

Our shooting is awful

He was against Pompey last week. Murphy had him on toast most of the game.

[miserableoldgit]

Are people seriously talking about having RM back? Maybe Still won't turn out to be want we need.......but RM?

And the looks of Iain Dowie?

[hypochondriac]

Even if we win this game that's another shite half of football.We can't put a 90 minute together. This is a real worry.

Doctor Frankenstein looked at his new creation. "Well now I know what not to do, the only thing that can go wrong next time is if it falls on it's head. Even then, I bet I can get Saints to sign him... I'll call that one Vestergaard."

[saintant]

I think it's safe to say that we are nowhere near as good as we think we are. Better off looking at this season as another fight against relegation.

[Appy]

2005/06 vibes to this season so far

That's harsh on Onuachu.

We looked fucking ace in the championship under Martin

No we are not, just making a comparison.
