Saints 0-0 Swansea - Match Thread

[AlexLaw76]

See, our overload is in our CB/Defensive area, they are able to press us into a hoof

No one can say that the set up is not a big factor in this shite

[Lighthouse]

We were good for the last 20 mins of the first half and about 10 of the second but apart from that, crap again. None of the subs have improved us, not enough options in forward areas to pass to. The players have to take some of the heat for missing all our chances but I’m less and less convinced by Still every game.

Also, f**k me this ‘tator loves Downs.

[Saint NL]

Hanging on a bit now.

This is shambolic

Going to be some booos at full time I reckon

Should be ‘we want Still out’ followed by ‘Sports Republic get out of our club’.

But Hampshire is a graveyard of ambition.

[obelisk]

You'll certainly not score by fannying around with the ball at the back.

[badgerx16]

This lot haven't got a fucking clue.

Hard to decide whether this is on the players inability to finish or Will Still. 

Both, plus Sports Republic.

We need a goal in a home game we've dominated and our striker signing isn't good enough to get off the bench.

Yeah. I hate that rule that prevents the manager subbing himself on.

He couldn’t be any worse than Downs.

Dross

It least we are above the mighty Oxford

FFS Fellows... Floating over a high cross into the arms of their keeper...

[stknowle]

I consider myself quite a patient man, but I am really really beginning to get fucked off with this fucking football club. The manager, the owners, the fucking players. The pies. All of it.

[sockeye]

Up the football league we draw

[trousers]

0-0 FT

The inspirational unbeaten run continues...

Do you want will still still? 

[Saint NL]

All over 

The boos ring out

[benjii]

Glad to hear the boos. 

[tdmickey3]

Well, it was shots,shots, shots 

And 1 fuckin point

Another season of shite well underway 

[adrian lord]

Club has stalled. 

[Gloucester Saint]

That’s me done for this season. Boring as fuck and got better things to do with 90 minutes every Saturday, SR need to fuck off. 

[aintforever]

Just sack the cunt

[Challenger]

Nothing clicked, nowt changed,no corner turned. Just yet more of the same ineffective shite brought about by the same old failures.

[Suhari]

FFS.

A little unlucky with hitting the woodwork and missing some sitters. But FFS.

This season is really fucked.

[bpsaint]

Utter utter shit.

No shape, no impetus, clueless manager. Fucking bollocks.

[Morse]

Utter shite. WS and SR out

We have a goal scorer in the under 21s and put the same old up front with Downs, yes Downs on the bench! 
Put the a goal scorer in the team ffs Still…

See you Tuesday then.

[Edmonton Saint]

1 win in 9 championship games says it all. Marquee signings starting on the bench and we’re forced to go through the motions with Archer and Armstrong again. If Stills game plan was speedy wingers and crosses to a target man , then we should have signed a target man , crossing into Armstrong and Archer repeatedly is madness.

Shit finishing cost us...........again.

 

Boo.

[LocationRemot3]

Someone tell Adam Blackmore to fuck off. He keeps constantly telling us we should be positive and grateful when we can’t even beat EFL minnows. Twat. 

[O_Lord_Marian]

Absolutely dire stuff. After watching the Boro v Ipswich game yesterday, we are so far off. Mid table mediocrity at best.

[coalman]

21 shots, 8 on target. xG 3.26. No goals.

The shocking thing was our complete inability to put any pressure on them in the last 20 minutes.

Morons clapping that. Carrot crunchers and wooden tops. Rest just standing there in silence. 

[DT]

Clueless manager. Have said it from the start. Get rid.

[obelisk]

Do Saints have anyone at the club who knows how to instil composure in players when confronted with an open goal?

[James]

Just not good enough. Will be a long season.

He’s a fucking oaf. With 5 minutes to go he said even though it’s 0-0 the fans should be encouraged by today. Is he utterly clueless? We smashed this lot 5-0 last time. How far we have fallen.

He wasn’t the one that missed 3 chances whilst virtually stood on the goal line you twat !!!

[Zorba]

Shitty bore draw again!!

Scienza put a shift in. Wood solid. Strikers same old shit. Don’t blame WS, not having any sort of finisher is killing us.

[Hawkswood]

Played well against an albeit shit team. Nightmare finishing......

This. There's a horrible malaise across all aspects of the club. Still can't put the ball in the net for them but it goes deeper than that. Nobody is making good decisions from the owners to the players. Horrible time. No idea how it's going to change. Lower mid table is the best we're likely to get. 

[DT]

It's okay though, because he did well on Monday Night Football with a screen and some graphics. Wake up.

[AlexLaw76]

FT 0-0

No one can say with a straight face that the set up was not a big factor in that game?

We played well for about 35 min in total, against a team who are fucking shite, and don't have a single player who would make our match day squad.

Yes, we had chances, and yes we missed easy chances, but you would expect us to give the vast gulf in the standard of player. Look at many of the chances outside of our 30 min purple patch..lots of blacked penalty areas, chances from range - all very difficult. Was not until around the 30 min mark when Scienza started to be given the ball deep inside their half and he was able to get their defenders facing their own goal

Time and time again our overloads were in our defensive 3rd meaning when they woke up, they could press us and push us into a hoof.

As for the manager, fuck me. sticking with CBs at home to Swansea, bringing on Fellows at RWB, Azaz wide right - just WTF (again).

For a supposed tactical master who does not have a style of play, Will Still has been appalling and has no business managing this club IMO

 

[maysie]

Couldn't go today as wife away with the eldest so looking after the youngest.

With those chances you've got to win that, should have been at least 3-0, not sure that's on the manager.

Don't know how you lot put up with Blackmore, guys a fucking annoying prick.

[Colinjb]

Fucking. Pathetic. Strikers.

Genuinely, why is that his fault ? Created loads of opportunities. Surely you cant blame him for some of those chances that were missed. I get youre pissed off straight after but dont think Still can be blamed for what happened today.

Our local journo's are awful. 

Blackmore is so sycophantic, with House consistently making sneering remarks at anyone genuinely concerned about the manager

[Jack]

We need to get shot of SR before anything worthwhile is going to happen. People say Still Out and I agree, but they’ll only go and get another clever signing and try to reinvent football, and fail. 
 

We need a proper football person who knows what they’re doing, we’re sinking fast and happily playing out a 0-0 with 5 at the back against a side as shit as Swansea is criminal 

[The very right reverend]

I'm saying it now, Still needs to go, the club is toxic from top to bottom and that is not his fault, his fault is and are woeful performances and not getting the best out of the players.

We've either bought cheap gambles who're totally out of their depth or bought players good on paper but when they play for us they're terrible.

We're thoroughly dislikable whether its the club, players or owners.
