Sheaf Saint Posted October 25 Posted October 25 Archer hits a 'shot' straight at a defender. I had almost completely forgotten he was even on the pitch.

macca155 Posted October 25 Posted October 25 This game is terrible, there is an old adage that you can only play what's in front of you, which is true, but don't sink to their level. This is kick and rush pin ball football. A truly dreadful watch 5

His head drops so easily. If he'd have not given up he could have won the ball back right after Azaz challenged the defender. 1
Saint_clark Posted October 25 Posted October 25 Fucking terrible run from Archer, why the hell are you offside there.
Sheaf Saint Posted October 25 Posted October 25 Did Archer know he was offside before he shot then? Because that's the only possible excuse I can think of for such a pathetic attempt when clean through.
Lee On Solent Saint Posted October 25 Posted October 25 Only another 45 minutes of this shit to sit through
AlexLaw76 Posted October 25 Posted October 25 HT Dreadful display. Our goal come from their ridiculous defending, and that is about it. Our patterns of player are terrible. Our set up is terrible, and we (of course) are wide open in the middle of the park. Azaz playing from the 6 position is tragic. There is no need (like at Swansea) to play 3 CBs. When we break are immediately short. When we lose the ball, we immediately go into a back 5 which allows them progress well enough We have not, at all, dominated or imposed ourselves on this game. And blackburn are terrible. 6
Steve Cadiz Posted October 25 Posted October 25 Our £15m Archer is giving his all for the cause. What a bargain buy he was😮

SNSUN Posted October 25 Posted October 25 I'll take a shit win over a shit side when we have a depleted team but we need to get that shit win. Half time score is promising but even though I'm not watching it, just reading your comments gives me all I need to know about our performance. Glad for Leo though.
skintsaint Posted October 25 Posted October 25 1 up. Happy with that. Keep it going lads and maybe score more to make it a bit more comfortable 😅

OttawaSaint Posted October 25 Posted October 25 If you're not playing great then keep it simple, keep good fundamentals, find space, and play positively. Most of our lot have head down trying to do everything in their own.
SouSaint Posted October 25 Posted October 25 Dreadful display. Big improvement needed in the second half.
Saint NL Posted October 25 Posted October 25 Half time. Very low quality all round. Blackburn are there for the taking, they're hopeless. The only bit of quality in the game was the goal. Get Archer off and give literally anyone else a chance, they can't do any worse. 2
Osvaldorama Posted October 25 Posted October 25 I’m sorry, but this is actually more evidence that Still isn’t up to it. This is an absolutely horrific performance. Much better second half needed, Blackburn are one of the worst teams I’ve ever seen at championship level. They know they’re going down already. 1
obelisk Posted October 25 Posted October 25 One moment of class from Scienza. The rest of it is really pretty awful. If Saints drop points against this lot then we'll have found our level.

Think there's definitely a case to be made for the young striker to come on with no fear. 4
HarvSFC Posted October 25 Posted October 25 (edited) Low quality half. Given up possession a lot through aimless passing, or just running into the Blackburn defence. Just get Scienza on the ball as much as possible, seems to be the only way. When you watch Archer, you're left thinking, okay maybe Downs isn't that bad. And then you watch Downs and you're left thinking, okay maybe Archer isn't that bad. So, hopefully Oyekunle can do an Obafemi before his career tanked and actually make an impact at senior level.

Saint86 Posted October 25 Posted October 25 (edited) 45 minutes ago, egg said: The lad is being asked to play a role he's not suited to playing. He's also far from the worst player starting today. He should really have got a goal again right before half time.. he's a pacey striker which poor movement and pretty average finishing even when he's on form. I can stomach him starting when we have injuries / illnesses, but I don't want to see him when we're at full strength. He wastes chances and kills our attacks - and that's when he touches the ball. He's not downs bad, but he's pretty close. Edited October 25 by Saint86
washsaint Posted October 25 Posted October 25 I am yearnng for Martin - he had a discernible style, and we played good football in the CHampionship in his season here. I hhve no idea what Still is doing: there seems no discernible style of play, he plays a cowards game with 5 at the back and we aimlessly hoof it up to a bunch of midgets. It's a truly horrible watch. Why not play Edwards as DM and push Azaz up to his actual position? We sure as hell don't need 5 at the back against Blackburn. 1 1

Wow, that was Sunday morning pub team football but we are marginally the better pub team. Looks like we have found a Brazilian that can actually play football. Never seen Oyekunle play but get him on.

aintforever Posted October 25 Posted October 25 (edited) We’re lucky Blackburn are complete shite because that was awful. The 5 at the back just hamstrings us, luckily Blackburn look like a side we should beat even without a midfield. Edited October 25 by aintforever 1
Verwood Saint Posted October 25 Posted October 25 We are just so bad today at literally every level from team selection on! Obviously take any sort of win but I don’t think I have ever seen a worse level of football in 55+ years. 1

jamesfp1 Posted October 25 Posted October 25 Scienza is good. Blackburn are shit. We are shitter than Blackburn. 1

Because Edwards seems to be hopeless right now with the ball at his feet. He's been an accident waiting to happen throughout that first half - and for most of the last few weeks 1

You lot are damaged from the shite we saw last season. If we stick with Still we will click and climb the table.

AlexLaw76 Posted October 25 Posted October 25 Just now, Saint_clark said: So which is it? Is he wedded to a single style of play, or do we not know how he's set us up to play? It can't be both. Wedded to 5 at the back, clearly.

Similar quality but at least they put themselves about

Sounds like blind faith to me. There is nothing in Still that I’ve seen that suggests he can manage in the Championship. 2

Nearly every game we are light in midfield. Nearly every game we play plenty of 'long passes'. And we are shite 2
