We're winning this one.

Not sure I share your confidence

[Saint86]

Ball doesn't stick at all with Downs at the focal point. A bit like playing with 10men.

[benjii]

A lot more space opening up. In theory, should be good for us but...

"We all hate Manning!"  You mean that guy who's scored one sixth of our goals this season?   I'm sick that Stewart is injured. Looked like hamstring... 2 months out? Just as it looked like we'd found our striker.

He’s been directly involved in more goals conceded, from shit defending, than he’s scored. Couple of free kicks is no reason to persist with a shit defender IMO

I don't get why wingers of Fellow's calibre don't look up before crossing rather just pumping it in hoping that someone might be where he crosses it to...

Need a change of shape here. We’ve got square pegs in round holes at the moment.

They've seen Andy Robertson make a career of it.

[Saint_clark]

That linesman down our right must be a Derby fan standing in for an injured official. Fuck me.

[benjii]

Wonder if we'll ditch a CB if it stays as-is.

[RedArmy]

Haha the irony of manning screaming at someone for not picking up his run. 
 

 

[BotleySaint]

Fellows linking up play nicely. Putting in the effort.

He's a ball over the top, one on one with the keeper merchant . How he fits into this sloth outfit is a mystery to me.

 

[Saint Scott]

Manning standing still 

[Disco Stu]

Did Blackmore just call Graham Potter "Harry Potter"? 😂

Because they know that we won't have anybody waiting on the end of it.

[Saint NL]

I really hate manning 😂

Yeah, could do with him being a bit higher up though. 

[Saint_clark]

Streams dead for me.

Back up now

Never mind the game is dying too

[Disco Stu]

We miss Leo.

For sure, but it's good he can actually turn on the ball. We don't seem to have many players comfortable doing that.

[Saint86]

Why does fellows not take our corners?

[Saint NL]

Fellows is all over the pitch, I had him down as a player that hugged the right touchline but he's central and left. 

A bit of a suprise

Exactly. He’s not a hold up striker by any means whatsoever, we wants to run off the defenders’ shoulder.  Not saying he’s any good at that, but he certainly isn’t a target man.

[Saint Scott]

Still needs to roll the dice here, ditch a CB for fuck sake

[OttawaSaint]

Come on Saints! Even Man U are winning!

[Osvaldorama]

Derby seem to have dropped right off it now. 
 

Need to take the game to them

[obelisk]

Another corner comes to nothing.

Thanks mate alot better

[macca155]

We need Fellows running at them, not fiddling around in midfield. 

Need Azaz on

[hypochondriac]

It's not really good enough is it.

More chance of them scoring on the break than us scoring against 11 men sat back

Nowhere near

[Disco Stu]

The timing of that Downs jump! 🤣

[Toussaint]

Downs  🙄 

[Saint NL]

Archer coming on

All feels a bit random. I'm not really sure what our identity is, what our tactics are.

[Osvaldorama]

He genuinely looks like he’s never played football before 

[benjii]

Need to go for this.

Get Edwards off and get Azaz or Archer on.

[Saint NL]

Derby look knackered. Have they been following the Russell Martin fitness plan?

Seems like Still doesn't either 

[Saint86]

Derby are tired now, time to go for the jugular with some fresh attacking legs..

[Saint Matty 76]

Thanks for being two of our better attackers to start the season Archer and Robinson, here are no more minutes.

[Suhari]

Right, that's enough for me.

Off to watch some ladies jiggling their jiggly-bits 

[Baird of the land]

Still's awful tactical move killing us. Taking off our best player scienza and bringing on a non entity in downs.
