Whilst Wood didn't get a clean touch on it, why didn't Macca come out to the player? I'd say he was more at fault there than Wood. Had he been a yard or two closer to the player he would have saved that. If the player then tried to take it around him it would have given the two defenders who had nearly got back to him tie to recover too

Come on, that was a howler by a professional footballer (Wood).

almost a penalty against us there....

[Wiggles31]

Sums us up. The minute you think we can kick start the season we go and do something stupid. Watch us go in 2-1 down. 

[Saint NL]

Welington lucky that's not inside the box

[obelisk]

Saints always have it within them to hand the opposition a goal. Dangerous fk to Bristol. Close to a penalty.

4. League. Wins. In. SEVENTEEN. Months. 

Ah that's why I hate this team!

[bpsaint]

I give up with this useless bunch of cunts and fucking boring wotsit manager i’m going to bed.

Fucking Saints. Why couldn’t I have been born in a city with a decent football team.

[Wiggles31]

I still cannot fathom how we have no striker. It’s like buying a house and not having a bathroom. 

[Saint NL]

Was that THB that just let his man go?

[obelisk]

I'm beginning to think that Downs would have more influence than Archer. 

[Saint NL]

The sad thing is that we're stuck with things the way they are until Still spins the 65th minute tombola

[obelisk]

Arma robbed in midfield. Bristol go close. Saints feeling sorry for themselves again.

[Turkish]

why do other teams also seem quicker and more aggressive than us?

[Sheaf Saint]

I honestly don't get it. We were totally dominant but since we scored we've looked fucking dreadful. 

Again.

[AlexLaw76]

You watch, because this is a shite system, we will start to hoof it as they are now pressing us in the middle of the park

It’s like choosing between herpes and gonorrhoea 

[sandwichsaint]

Games completely changed since the goals. Should have put it to bed in the first twenty minutes.

[obelisk]

Wood, Fraser, Archer all completely useless tonight.

Usually because they want it more which is worrying

That was all on Wood which is a real shame given he’s been really good since he came in.

[Saint Fan CaM]

Archer not in the game whatsoever - pointless having him on the pitch. Plus we’re starting to give them the game.

Yep. No choice but to cover the garden with shit. 

[Colinjb]

You are through on goal.... then realise it's Archer. 

[Wiggles31]

Fucks sake Archer.

How we play does not help, nearly everything we do from an attacking view is from wide. You look, we try and double up on the wings.....the rare time we play quickly through the middle to the strikers, we score (and Arma should have passed one earlier)

[obelisk]

Archer through with 'keeper to beat. Hits the 'keeper.🙄

[Osvaldorama]

It’s unbelievable really. 
 

We have to work astronomically hard to score a goal. Other teams just have to play a simple pass or cross and score with ease. 
 

It’s really starting to look like the squad is just really poor even for this level. 

[SNSUN]

Turned on the game (I'm at work, shhh), we almost immediately score then we shit the bed. Still, beats a 0-0. At least the fans had something to cheer.

[Saint NL]

Archer clean through, fluffs it

[Turkish]

Archer just smashes it straight at the keeper U11s style finish 

[LGTL]

Absolutely gone to bits since scoring, just like at Derby. Spineless bunch.

Fucking sitter Archer FFS

Never going to happen. We simply don't have it in us to get a two or three goal lead. We just crumble as soon as we score one.

Archer should score there. 

[sockeye]

Archer has to do better there

[Saint_clark]

Big moment from Archer there. Absolutely blasted it when Armstrong showed him how to finish those chances earlier. Poor.

[AlexLaw76]

Archer gets a chance as it is a quick ball through the middle.....

We just do not do that anywhere near enough, as we work the wide areas most of the attacking time

[Lighthouse]

To think we signed Archer to play in the Premier League.

[James]

Archer you useless turd. If he cant finish those then what’s the point of him…

[Lard]

We look utterly pathetic since conceding. 
we really are ponderous shite. 
probably used up our quota of scoring in this game already. 
🤷🏻‍♂️
 

[Saint86]

We've been atrocious since city scored. Heads totally gone. Really worrying that the team is this fragile.

Still needs to get right into them at half time.

Also, for their goal, the defensive line is all over the shop - is that the issue with having no real leader at CB, and youngsters like Edwards and woods playing with a winger (Fraser) at rwb?

[skintsaint]

Should be winning this again...can't finish for shit.

[HarvSFC]

Well that isn't fair, when they get through on goal, they score.

[RedArmy]

Archer has to hit that earlier, the goal was gaping before he shifted it wider 

[sockeye]

How many points has this strike force dropped for us this season?

[Saint NL]

Archer just hit and hope, there's no logic or technique there

[Greedyfly]

Scienza must be wondering what kind of shit he has gotten himself into.

 

Archer again - ass.

I thought we signed a team in the premier league to play in the championship?

Get archer off and get Robinson on
