Derby 1-1 Saints - Match Thread

[macca155]

Lost shape and attacking intent. Derby could take advantage of that if we aren't careful.

No real identity under Still at the moment. 

I am starting to lean towards accepting a draw

[Sunglasses Ron]

Thumbs down for Downs and Downes.

Standard flynn downes challenge, idiot

Also, stupid, as they just want to pump it forwards.

[hypochondriac]

In the unlikely event that we win this now this still hasn't been good enough. I'm starting to have serious doubts about Still.

[RedArmy]

Spirit of 23/24 needed today and a stoppage time winner. 

[Mr X]

Think we will be known as the nearly but not quite team... Can't string more than one win together... Spent millions but certainly don't look like a team that will be playing for promotion

The result papered over a lot of cracks on Tuesday too. 

[John B]

According to the BBC If there is to be a winner, it's not looking likely to be Saints, they haven't mustered a shot on target in the second half.

[OneMrsWallace]

Got to think Still planned for Stewart to be on for 75/80 mins and then take him off with us ahead. When Plan A went tits up he's just got no idea what to do.

If we can't be bothered to win this game then I suppose it's important not to lose it.

Four points from two away games in a week, would probably have taken that nine times out of ten

[tdmickey3]

No surprise is it really? 

We are just bang average 

 

[Saint Scott]

Downs really is garbage

[badgerx16]

What is the point of Damion Downs ?

[Saint NL]

We were well on top until all the subs. Derbys have added energy, ours have added..... Uh?

Throw a pile of subs on.

I want you to go out there and be a formation, feel the formation, find the grass!

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...

And usually the commentator will say "great cross but nobody there to get on the end of it"

[RedArmy]

Archer must be absolutely baffled watching this fucking idiot on the pitch instead of him. 

[Willo of Whiteley]

We stopped playing well when Scienza, arguably the most attacking player went off.

[BotleySaint]

Presently we seem content with just letting them attack and attack. 

[macca155]

Ballard scored again for Orient

[Saint Scott]

Shit from arma

[Saint_clark]

3 on 2 and Armstrong wastes it really.

Twat AArm!

Two players waiting!

He only had Downs to pass to. He had to take it on himself

[OttawaSaint]

All started with withdrawing our best player. He must be thoroughly confused right now.

Specifically engineered to ENRAGE Saintsweb members.

[Osvaldorama]

These lot are absolutely shocking and we’ve made them look like the better side

 

Not good enough at all

It's our super power

[BotleySaint]

A number of times Derby have defended really well. But we just don't create enough of those moments.

[badgerx16]

Arma runs at defender, looks to see who is in the middle, sees it is Downs, decides to try a shot himself. 

[Saint NL]

We created more in the first 10 mins than we did in the remaining 80+

[OttawaSaint]

We made Hull look like Barca. We're just not good in any way at all.

[HarvSFC]

Remember when you used to get 8+ minutes added time. Never seems to happen anymore even with all the subs and now long throw stoppages. Another new rule phased out after the novelty.

[DT]

Derby are terrible. Our substitutions are completely random - a coach trying to pretend he actually knows what he's doing. No structure to our formation. No pace. No togetherness. And Still just chucking random players on and hoping it works. Downs and Downes completely anyonymous and offering 'couldn't give a shit' vibes. Depressing.

[Willo of Whiteley]

Shower of shit.

Most attacking squad in the league with no attacking prowess.

[Saint Scott]

Fellows unlucky! 

[Saint_clark]

Great hold up play from Downs, good pass from Azaz and Fellows draws the save. 

[OttawaSaint]

Ohhh Fellows! Should have gone far post!

[Saint NL]

Unlucky, good chance

[hypochondriac]

Results can be down to luck but this performance has not been acceptable.

[RedArmy]

Might be able to beat our keepers at the near post with that shot but not most others. 

[tdmickey3]

What a pile of shit

Absolutely no chance of promotion if we carry on like this

He scores that 9 times out of 10 in training

[Toussaint]

Total utter shite.

[Saint86]

Shit i'm afraid. Macca the only reason we are getting any points.

At what point do we say "the table doesn't lie". Reality is that we should be doing a lot better than this.

[benjii]

2 points down the shitter. 

Cowardly to keep 3 CBs on the pitch and each set of subs was bad.

[RedArmy]

Nowhere near good enough. We were utterly shite for 80 minutes of that game.
