Aribo would split her in two.

Behave she's got much better range than Joe.

[Sheaf Saint]

Baz made that save look much more difficult than it really was.

[Saint86]

This camping of the box that we do late on under Ekert. I do not like it!!!

[Saint NL]

Why is Bazunu palming that away?

We make things hard for ourselves 

[St. Ciervo]

Gray off. We can see it out now. 3-1 final.

[benjii]

Edwards for Fellows. Makes sense given the number of crosses coming in.

[Saint Fan CaM]

Fellows off - but Manning stays on.

[tdmickey3]

Ekert needs to sort this out, keeps happening. 

An experienced man is needed

Stupid sub

[Saint NL]

One thing you notice is the definite lines when Brum have the ball. You didn't see that at all under Still

That was a rocket and he was working to see around the traffic. I would have loved him to catch that, but that wasn't on Baz.

Also, that kick save he made off the deflection a few minutes back was prime.

Crosses flooding in from the left is more of a concern. Welington has to start the next game.

Better sides will hurt us

[Saint Fan CaM]

And another cross allowed by Manning.

[obelisk]

Cross comes in with Manning 10 yards from his man.

And there's another one with Manning standing off 10 yards away.

[Sheaf Saint]

Six minutes? 🫤

[Hopper]

Should be doing better sweetie. 

Not letting them have chance after chance

[Suhari]

Ohhh Archer.

[Saint NL]

Archer, shame he needs a goal

[Sheaf Saint]

Oh FFS Aribo. 

[Saint Fan CaM]

Archer fucks up again in a 1 on 1. Should be 4-1.

[benjii]

Aribo trying to get a Xmas break there.

[Saint NL]

Aribo is shit 

[saint michael]

Aribo lucky to get yellow

Aribo trying to get a red there. Ref let's him off with a yellow.

[Viking Saint]

Aribo you fucking clown. Could've easily been a red

[St. Ciervo]

Aribo had 2 good outlets and chooses to stop and play sideways. Makes a mess of it and gets a yellow. What a waste of space again today.

Makes you wonder he’s following instructions.

[Saint Fan CaM]

Aribo trying hard to get a straight red.

[Edmonton Saint]

Can we stop with this Aribo bullshit. Making Eckert look stupid.

[Mr X]

Why is aribo on the pitch 

[Hopper]

Great play Cam!

[kjurwi]

I don't mind the backing up and defending. Seems to be working ok. Hasn't let another goal in.

 

[Saint Fan CaM]

Brilliant hold up by Archer - fair play.

[Suhari]

Good play Archer. Strong run.

[Sheaf Saint]

Really good work from Archer there to take the pressure off.

[Saint NL]

We would all have taken 3-1 before the game, but fuck me are making hard work of this.

A real good bad and the ugly performance.

[saint michael]

Archer being coached by Leo

He's been doing it since he arrived. Did it plenty under Martin. 

 I can't imagine any manager would tell a defender to stand off and invite crosses time and time again.

[Saint NL]

Unlucky Robinson, that's more like it

[Saint NL]

Manning gives his man so much space every single time, it's infuriating 

[saint michael]

Elkhart booked 

[Suhari]

Hungry Eyes in the book!

[Hopper]

Tonda shithousery 😂 

[Sheaf Saint]

WTF Tonda!?
