Southampton 0-2 Preston - Match Thread

[CylonKing]

Preston are a top side and we're lucky to be playing them. Should be able to grab a draw, unless they go down to 10, then we're fooked!

Bring back the 4-2-4 and just outscore them....please!

Not sure I like booing the players as they come out...

Me neither. An indifferent silence is as much as they deserve.

[Saint_clark]

It's a good job I don't go anymore, if I was sat there in that rain with this performance and had those kids screaming behind me I think I'd punt them into the centre circle.

Blackmore just implied again that Still is being made to play 5 at the back... Does he know something?

Funny. I said it before the game and got slated for it. 
 

So far Ralph has been the only manager to tell him to fuck off and ditch it as quickly as possible.

Can’t believe I travel for these games still.

Roerslev is like another centre-back, if you’re going to use this vile system at least start Fellows there. Big changes and a big reaction at half-time otherwise I can’t see the point coming back for this moving forwards.

Not all Still but doesn’t do himself any favours with this vile set-up.

Fellows is not a wing back and cannot play the position. Why buy him as a winger and then play him as a wing back. Madness.

He’s not cut out to be a football manager if he is and deserves all the abuse he is getting.

Any kind of spine tells Rasmus to stick to the spreadsheets whilst he does the football and gives the SR boardroom the middle finger.

Robinson and Fellows on for Edwards and Azaz, so definitely changed to a back 4.

Commentator on my stream: "I wonder if that means a change of shape?"

I actually wouldn't put it past Still to play Fellows at RCB, but surely not in this case.

Blackmore just said Still is on the verge of being sacked if it stays like this

I do, they, Still and especially SR deserve every bit of abuse.

It would be brilliant if Still had a meltdown at half time, told SR to stuff their data driven shite and put some of his prior work into the team.

But, doubt it.

As long as Rasmus goes with him.

He’s had nothing to do with it though

Not really much of an outrageous prediction, is it.

[Osvaldorama]

Immediately better when we have some attacking players on the pitch..

who would have thought?

[Saint NL]

Robinson has already done more than Azaz managed 😂

Look. I'm 52, bald, 5'6", in my pyjama bottoms and Saints shirt. Raining, cold and windy outside. Eating a leftover burrito.

And I have probably more chance of scoring today...

Perfect night in!

28 year old from Swiss second division it is then. No way Rasmus will appoint a stronger character who he can’t dominate and dictate to.

[Saint_clark]

Fuck off Flynn Downes, could have put Robinson through on goal but fucks it up 

[East Kent Saint]

Lost to Dobbin,  you couldn't make it up , Still has failed,  get in an old fashioned arsenal kicker 😄

[OttawaSaint]

Every team we've played on the league this year has looked total shit not somehow we're shittier. 

This squad should me top 4...minimum.

[Sheaf Saint]

Fucksake Jander!

[Saint NL]

Looking a lot more positive

Oh for Ralf...or Ronald...or Mauricio...or even Claude!

Why does predictive text change Ronald to Ronaldo? Fook the diving, stroppy twix!

Why is Manning shooting from there? Ffs

Ego.

[Crab Lungs]

Would take Nathan Jones on a 10 year contract right now.

[Gloucester Saint]

Because he’s crap and so is his attitude.

Probably because we have literally nobody in this team capable of winning headers in the opposition box.

He's like the useless player on a 6-a-side team that accidentally pulled off a backheel pass and then spends the rest of his life trying and failing to recreate it.

Yep. No credible options so take a pop. Sign of frustration.

Hey, we managed a shot that hit a defender's head. Isn't that enough for you FFS?

[obelisk]

Saints looked interested for a couple of minutes at the start of the half. PNE have taken control again now though.

Would take a good connection and accuracy from the technical area to be fair.

Swear the commentator said something along those lines. Would personally rather bring on the kid up front.

They are pressing - we have no press whatsoever

Yeah, false dawn there in the opening couple of minutes. 
 

Preston look so much better than us.

Yep. Any momentum we had at the start of the second half has quickly evaporated. Struggling to even get out of our own half now.
