Bristol City 3-1 Saints - Match Thread

[stfrancisofbenali]

This is why I didn’t understand all the positivity on Saturday after drawing 0-0 at home against a poor side. Good sides find a way to nick that 1-0. We’re not a good side as tonight is proving. Bristol City have so much more fight and positivity.

Should have bought him an X-Box.

That was naughty from THB.

[BotleySaint]

We are a team that rarely looks like scoring, is rarely able to score, and we need two goals in the next 22 mins.

We’re not, we just have absolutely fucking shit owners and an absolutely fucking shit manager.

It’s not cursed, it’s just shit. Run by a bunch of clowns who think they’re smarter than everyone else.

[Patrick Bateman]

Don't really know what to say ... I have no words or feeling. It's just weird.

What's been the story? Shit performances, poor team set up, all of the above, or just undone by a better team? 

Hilarious pointless slow crap 

[Greedyfly]

Problem is, do you expect SR to get the next one right.  Couldn't trust them to order cookies.

[Willo of Whiteley]

He isn’t getting sacked, so all those chanting for Will Still to go may as well get over it now.

Second goal might have been unlucky but the trio of missed sitters had nothing to do with luck. Lack of professionalism, training, technique and work rate were the causes.

And that gets you relegated and 4 wins in what is it, 47 games now? Not bad luck.

Adz has got some adult ones on Deliveroo at half time, he's decent with the iPad in the dugout you see

As much as he is crap and I want him gone it's our piss poor owners bringing the club down and we should vent our anger at them! 

I have absolutely no faith in SR making any positive impact. 

[Saint NL]

Will will still still be in charge for Blackburn at the weekend?

Regardless. There are many issues with the club than just the manager. Changing the manager won't arrest this decline.

[Osvaldorama]

It’s all just fucking pointless isn’t it?

 

We do nothing well. Complete joke of a squad & club 

[Saint_clark]

Edwards runs in at the back post, perfectly in time to meet the ball into the box, and then is so surprised to find it at his feet that he swipes it over the bar in a panic. Fuck off.

Played well first half but gifted them a goal. Gifted them two more goals second half. Done nothing to react to the shift in momentum other than the usual wing back swaps.

[RedWillie]

This is all on SR. Poor decisions all over the club over and over again.

Surely there comes a point where enough is enough. I’d say we are probably approaching it.

[sfc4prem]

Fuck. So sloppy and inert. Our mentality and timidity seems to breed the unluckiest of situations or just complete brain farts, and has done for some time. 

1) Awful positioning by Edwards followed by a Wood scuff

2) Shit luck of a deflection, post and then falling into the path of their player to tuck away

3) Terrible pass on the half way line.

 

Can we just give ourselves a fucking chance for once? Shooting ourselves in the foot regularly it seems.

[adrian lord]

I detest Sports Republic and their saccharine smart-arsed bullshyte. 

[kjurwi]

Hm. Think this is the game that breaks us if we don't manage to turn it into a draw. Got to play a back 4 and get an AM on but still doesn't trust any of the defenders. Will trust them even less now.

[Sheaf Saint]

City player literally running rings around our midfield.

No agreed BUT it might give you a building block.  It's certainly no reason to stick with him.

Fucking atrocious. 

[BotleySaint]

Since conceding the third we've completely given up. The whole team looks lost.

[AlexLaw76]

They are doing what most of the other teams do to get at us (and what Swansea tried in the 2nd half)

Press us in midfield as we always surrender it, and in turn, force us long

[Jack]

Just so weak aren’t we. Look decent in short spells but absolutely shit the bed as soon as the opposition put a bit of pressure on. So easy to score against, so easy to defend against. Pathetic

The defenders are all so unreliable that the fewer of them on the pitch, the better

[obelisk]

Saints looked fairly comfortable at the start but it seems that Bristol just knew all they had to do was bide their time and wait for the mistakes. It'll be a theme this season.

[HarvSFC]

I just can't believe we've still got three centre-backs on the pitch.

[Galway saint]

I feel nothing

We took the lead after 30 mins of total dominance, then proceeded to immediately self-sabotage ourselves.

I question Still but I question our owners more - they are fucking disgraceful 

[adrian lord]

Anyone think we might go down again?

One more at Blackburn on Saturday to get the half century with 4 wins.

If Still clings on tomorrow I’m a Rovers fan on Saturday.

[OttawaSaint]

Players will trudge dejectedly off the field to dressing room.

10 minutes later the thick twats will have forgotten all about it, do some TikToks, check bank balance, eat expensive food at a top restaurant and go for a spin in their Ferraris. 

Useless shower of bastards!

If SR have any ambition to get promotion this season the should. 12 points from 11 games is shocking

Missed all but one of our easy chances then gifted them three with Russball defending.

[Saint Fan CaM]

Scienza is the only bright spark in the team. The rest…meh

Felt nothing last time we were in the Championship, feel the same now.

[madge]

Ralph is the stand tonight… sack still tonight and get Ralph signed up tomorrow. Absolutely clueless tonight.. club absolutely got shit.. dragon has a lot to answer for. Worst owner in recent history allowing SR to truly feck our club over.

[tdmickey3]

And still we just pass it around with zero purpose.

Absolutley no urgency 

Keep the score down I guess 

[Willo of Whiteley]

Can’t wait for five at the back against Blackburn. Solid set up.

[Baird of the land]

3-1 down and we’re still playing it across the back

I reckon they've given up, pal. We all have.

[for_heaven's_Saint]

The formation, the style of play and the subs are all shit. 

[Ted Bates Statue]

Hate to say it, but I think our unbeaten run is about to come to an end.
