Bristol City 3-1 Saints - Match Thread

[Mr X]

I have never ever seen a team more in need of a decent striker than ours!... Yet still is happy with what he's got.... Yeah right

McBurnie is a joke of a player.

With 6 goals so far this season...

But still 150% better than Archer, BBD or Downs.

Archer's as dangerous as a Yorkshire tea.

I reckon Jeffrey Archer might have buried one of those chances. 

So disappointing.

Scienza and Jander are really tidy players. They appear to be two decent signings. But we have absolutely fucked up massively with the striker situation. It’s a farce really as we’d comfortably be top 6, if not higher, if we had have addressed that properly. 

Everyone knew it was a massive issue but the Club was messaging from extremely early on that they (including Still) were “comfortable” with the options we have. Every single year of their ownership SR have left us short up front. Every single year.

Just what is your beef with Welington?

He wants to give him the boot.

[benjii]

Shout out to the ref and linesmen. They've been excellent. Hopefully no howlers this half, please, chaps.

Still don't think we need three centre-backs against these low blocks, but then Still hasn't changed this in any of the games this season, so expect another dull 45.

I swear Still doesn't go out to win games, he goes out to NOT LOSE.

 

[Mr Brightside]

We win 2-1. 

[SWLondon Saint]

I just don't get why Fraser is on the pitch, he just gets totally dominated every time the ball is in the air near him and seems to have absolutely no attacking intent anymore. Has given the ball away a few times too, he's not great in tight quarters.

Don't care. Not fit to wear the shirt. Pathetic footballer.

Wonder if they'll finally learn this year.

 

 

 

...Nah, we'll probably meet Mara v3 next summer.

Am I imagining it or do we just suck the life out of any game we are involved in? 
it’s fucking dire to watch. 

Yep. Excruciatingly dull. 

[Saint NL]

Coventry winning, they're starting to pull away a little.

29 shots on the weekend, 10 so far today...doesn't exactly scream sitting back does it. 

[Southner]

One more goal each and we'll be level. Come on chaps!

Even that can be made strong even you go easy on the milk.

Cameron Archer is the equivalent of the 20p teabags Netto used to sell.

And he wasn’t even the worst striker Rasmus the plank and Russell Twatin signed last summer…

[tdmickey3]

Bar Armstrong it’s been bore fest, slow ponderous nothingness 

Fraser pointless 

Archer ????

no physical presence up top.

If we take long goal kicks we have been sending Edwards up to try to actually win a header, so short on height up there.

Still, at least we spent a collective £22m on Azaz and Fellows so they could sit on the bench, despite us being told how “essential” they were to Will Still being able to play the way he wants…

[saintant]

Missed chances continue to plague us - this should be 3-1. AA scores a good goal but he takes a shot when a simple pass to Archer is the better option. Then Archer should score when clean through. Horrible feeling they are going to score again from another direct run through the middle. Fellows on for Wee Man for me.

Archer is still 6 goals behind him. I was going to mention Downs but don’t want to hamper Bognor Regis Town’s play offs push in January. Maybe some bracing sea air will make Damian run around to keep warm?

Once again deflecting entirely from the point. Yeah, we have poor finisher's up front. But we are NOT playing defensively. Stop making shit up, from what you've posted I don't think you're even watching...Edwards going up front from goal kicks FFS 😂 total nonsense.

No changes....

Under 21s have just won on penalties, so come on you saints

Yeah he would have probably Cained it.

[Saint_clark]

Referee stops play just as McCarthy puts Armstrong through on goal. Brilliant.

[Saint Fan CaM]

Fraser as I predicted is getting bossed completely - he’s no RB.

[OttawaSaint]

Let's face it he'd have probably bicycle kicked it into our net for an OG. A lucky escape!

[Southner]

Oh Leo! Unlucky!! 

[obelisk]

Scienza clobbers a shot against the bar.

[Turkish]

Scienza won’t be here next season 

[Saint NL]

Oooh Scienza cracker hits the bar

[Saint Fan CaM]

Beautiful shot from Scienza - hit bar

[Sheaf Saint]

Why did the ref stop play FFS?

OOOH off the bar from Leo.

The whistle went as it was leaving his gloves, so hardly.

Scienza ❤️

[skintsaint]

[stknowle]

Leo doesn’t get a lot of luck does he.
