Saints 3-2 WBA - Match Thread

[Suhari]

Fans in good voice.

Enjoy it lads!

[Saint NL]

The only question mark remaining is if we can put in a second half performance

[DJ_TOAST]

Any streams ?

[CB Fry]

3-0 and we go into the top 6 in the live table

Red button on Sky Sports Football (whatever Championship game they are showing)

Why oh why did Still waste those dozen or so games? If we started the season like this we'd be were Coventry are.

I was reading an article about Still on a Belgium football website a while back. They said Still is more of a defensive manager and work best when his team is the underdog. I had high hopes for Still but or he is very poor or Tonda is an amazing manager.

[Oldandtired]

Who's the West Brom fan doing the co-commentating?

[obelisk]

Fannying around at the back again. Is the plan just to play on the break? Dangerous if you ask me. There's another unchallenged cross into the Saints box.

[saint michael]

They are getting closer. Cut some of this out at the back 

[Saint NL]

Once again, a cross in and it could go anywhere.

The only real standout performance under Still was Swansea at home. The rest we just surrendered the middle of the park and then threw on all the attackers in the last 20 mins

He was fucking terrible.

[Saint Fan CaM]

Still hating the piddling about at the back - it’s going to undo us sooner or later.

[Gloucester Saint]

Great first goal by Leo made by Fellows, second a gift for AA. Too much Martin ball since the first 20 and inviting the press. Another cross too easily coming in. 

[LGTL]

Bit sloppy since going 2 up. Same as Saturday though, a third goal would kill the game. 

[obelisk]

Casual play in midfield. WBA win possession. Easy cross into the box but wide. Saints need to step it up a bit.

[Saint NL]

As good as we look going forward, we still look weak at the back

[Sheaf Saint]

We're looking susceptible at the back.

Wild out there today. Stay safe everyone. And hopefully this is gone by kick off. 

It's winter! We get stormy weather in winter. Storm Tracy, storm Imogen...bloody bollocks!

Good job we can score at will then isn’t it. 

[LGTL]

Big chance for Jander

[Saint_clark]

Playing too much of the game in our half, particularly among the defenders, now. Inviting them to step up and pressure. We need to be keeping the ball in their half.

[vectraman]

Have to say today, we look so dangerous. Fair play to you Tonda 👍

Got it - cheers 👍

[SNSUN]

Can't find the link on Sky Go app but anyway I'm stuck at work so I'm relying on you lot with the news. 

 

Can't fault the scoreline so far. Another dull second half in store? I'd take a third to be sure. 

[Saint NL]

Ref, that was weak

With the attacking players we’ve got I agree

[RedArmy]

Can we wrap Leo up in cotton wool until January 25th please. 

[Saint NL]

Waste of a free kick

Am wondering the same. I don't know why there is no Saints stream. Always used to be, but this is the 3rd or 4th game where it's been the away team stream.

 

[Saint Fan CaM]

Wtf was that free kick Manning?!?!

[James G]

3-0

PLAY OFF PLACES

[sockeye]

KABOOOM!

 

[Suhari]

Excellent, excellent finish AA!

[Saint NL]

3-0, arma again. Now it's game over

[Saint Matty 76]

Was Still telling them not to press or have any urgency whatsoever?

[Viking Saint]

Beautiful goal 

[Saint Fan CaM]

3-0 super AA once again. Another magical goal.

[obelisk]

This is great attacking stuff from Saints. Loads of movement. Slick passing. ArmA 3-0.

[stknowle]

VERY well played AA. 

[Saint NL]

Probably offside with Var but we don't care about that

[LGTL]

Brilliant attacking play from Saints, excellent finish from Armstrong. Should be game over. 

[AlexLaw76]

Another assist for Azaz, another goal from Arma

So glad we never sold Arma (some wanted this)...

Always said Azaz is a proper player. Wanted him here all summer

I can't quite get over the change in pace.  Same formation, same personnel, completely different way of playing. The directness is a thing of beauty at the moment.

[Saint Fan CaM]

LOL WBA commentators saying VAR would have had AA. Bollox!!!
