Hull 3-1 Saints - Match Thread

[HKsaint]

He will come good one day

[danjosaint]

Yeah but he had a good game in pre season and people on here are convinced he's improved

[Scoobysaint]

All very good spending loads of cash on the attacking setup but with a back three of Baz, Stephens and THB we will always leak like a sieve. So frustrating to see the same mistakes time after time after time.

[JohnnyShearer2.0]

Fed up of this passing back shit.

[Dr Who?]

So our main striker is Damion Downs? Really? 

[Osvaldorama]

We genuinely look like relegation candidates and not promotion hopefuls so far. Haha 

[RedArmy]

Do we practice corners? Haven’t seen us take a good one all season. 

[Toussaint]

Six and a half hours on a coach to watch this shite. 

[Willo of Whiteley]

Can someone explain to me how Adam Armstrong, who is excellent at this level, doesn’t get a start?

Tom Fellows is weak as anything. Finn Azaz is the most non-attacking attacking midfielder.

[Edmonton Saint]

And to be fair we set the tone for mediocrity being ok by giving a new contract to one of the most mediocre players ever in Stephens in the Summer.

[OttawaSaint]

Player in the box pointing to where he wants it. Completely ignored, chance gone.

[macca155]

What's annoying is that Downs has been screaming for the ball through the channels on several occasions, but is being ignored.

Yeah, hilarious 🫤

[RedWillie]

Dross so far...again.

[LGTL]

Downs hit the target there FFS

[die Mannyschaft]

At Eastleigh 1 up at least its football and entertaining.  Saints same as last season, lots possession no shots, 

[Saint NL]

Oooh, Downs with a good chance and wide.

Nice pass from azaz

[sockeye]

Not a bad shot from Downs

[SouSaint]

Fucking shite finish from Downs. 

[BotleySaint]

Downs should have hit the target there.

Still, nice to see someone actually try to get forward with intent!

[bpsaint]

Downs, not even on target. Farcical 

[RedArmy]

Archer would have at least hit the target there

[coalman]

That's more like it.

[Mr X]

Downs miss 

[OttawaSaint]

A chance but Downs put it wide.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Downs puts it wide.... that was a good chance.

When did Russball ever involve hoofing? He also wasn't alright about it, if you saw his post match interviews, laid the blame squarely at the players and sorted it out (largely) at half time.

That was my point!

Crap tactics = relegation

Should have at least had that on target. Nice pass though.

We've shipped a lot of goals under stills watch now... Not that bazunu being shit is his fault 

His fault that he didn't request an upgrade.  We all know he's shit BUT he's the least at fault of the 3 for that goal.  

 

The fact we can't score either is going to be the issue now.

 

Still a real average manager as expected

[Obstacle1]

What a player Downs is gonna be when he learns how to score

[Wade Garrett]

Much better.

Fucking shambles of a goal, two defenders that don’t try to defend and that parry by Baz. Another goal where we’re questioning his ability.

Don’t think many are questioning his ability, rather he should have been released on a nominal transfer in June. 

[Saint Matty 76]

Nice to see us play through the middle with a nice touch and quick ball from Azaz, though.

Never felt too confident in Downs there.

[saints-til-i-die]

This really is disappointing. I keep making excuses for Still in my head (transfer disruption etc) but there’s no excuse now 

[aintforever]

Shit from Downs

[BotleySaint]

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.

Is that the same Azaz that just played Downs in?

Championship is shit anyway. League 1 much better. Proper football, winning every week...(/S)

[obelisk]

THB passes it into the crowd. Dreadful.

Not a natural finisher then. 

[Saint NL]

Did Charles just cripple Downs? 🤦

[Dr Who?]

Archer on for Downs. Good good.

Fuck me Dragan, get some endurance. 

[RedArmy]

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

Wankers.

Absolutely, want him to be a succes here, but not actually seeing any improvement from week to week

 

[Saint NL]

Build up is better. Shooting is still poor.

Nope, this block of games is 100% William Stilliam!
