Saints 3-2 WBA - Match Thread

[SaintNate]

Wake up call that. 

[Saint NL]

New underpants for the commentators please

[Challenger]

Seem determined to not keep a clean sheet, shame.

[Suhari]

Fuck.

[sockeye]

Tonda out!

[LGTL]

Fuck sake, that’s been coming 

[saint michael]

And there you go

[skintsaint]

Great, click that live link and we concede straight away...guy had tons of space on the edge of the box.

Saints inviting pressure and now it's 3-1. Past Bazunu low down on his left. 

[AlexLaw76]

Goal scored in the middle of the goal

And we don't need a goalie

[Mr X]

That was coming! poor in the second half 

[Saint86]

That goal is on tonda for me. Needlessly stopping attacking and inviting pressure once again. Just stupid that we do this every game.

[OttawaSaint]

If we had a goalie who could save things we'd walk this league...

[LGTL]

Another Bazunu masterclass down to his left

Same, got on in time for them to score.

[Suhari]

We need to get a grip of this again, and fast.

[bangkoksaint]

Sky have absolutely ruined tonight 

[SaintNate]

Let off there. Need to wake up.

[saintant]

Why do we do this. Attack, attack, attack. We can't defend so get the fucking ball up the other end of the pitch.

[Saint_clark]

Another goal crossing the line about a foot and a half from the post. 

[Saint Fan CaM]

FFS - does Bazunu EVER get his positioning right?! Aaargh!

[obelisk]

Another cross comes in unchallenged from the left. Baz saves. Odds on 3-4?

[The Kraken]

Baz doing an excellent job of hugging his post and leaving the rest of the goal open.

Im sure it wasn’t his fault though. World class shooting against him again.

[RedArmy]

Really poor positioning from Bazunu there. He’s seen it late to be fair but that’s saveable if he’s not hugging his post. 

[Saint NL]

We concede and Scienza goes off. Suddenly this last half an hour seems less interesting 

[Sheaf Saint]

And that should have been 3-2. We're just inviting the pressure.

We may still do that if we don't wake up. 

[Crab Lungs]

Bazunu positioning. AGAIN. 
 

fucking shit.

[skintsaint]

Going down the 'shit game management' scenario again...

[Stowmarket Saint]

You'd hope that it's job done. But not really sure why we have come out so flat this second half. Come out all guns blazing, go score 4 or 5, really send a statement! This squad is more than capable of that!

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Always the risk with us dropping off the pace. WBA had a couple of moments, and have 1 back.

Lots of time left, and WBA get another chance with a free header. A test for Tonda, to see how he works the tempo, now with subs on.

[Bobbyboy]

Quashie down getting treatment at 64 mins. Was that a Ralph break?

[ChristopheVAFC]

4th goal for saint's please ! 🙏

[Mr X]

We seem to think it's job done which is a dangerous mentality....been  poor this half 

[Gloucester Saint]

That was coming - good strike by Grant but Bazunu should get something in it at first glance.

Price should do better there, nearly 3-2. Really gone flat here. 

[Saint Fan CaM]

And another free header because Manning is nowhere to be seen!

Behave, he is utterly unsighted.

[AlexLaw76]

This is where we need to do something different. Teams are going to play like this against us a lot more.

 

[saintant]

We know what works so why don't we just carry on doing it!!!!

[obelisk]

Tonda needs to get his team playing in both halves of the game.

[Challenger]

So needless, so predictable. Why make hard work of a game that was in the bag at half time ?

[JohnnyShearer2.0]

Fucks sake. Tonda knew west brom would come out faster. Yet we revert back to trying to manage the game.

Need to wake up.

[tdmickey3]

Game management still shit 

[coalman]

They key thing here is to get Aribo on as soon as possible to "stabilise" things.

[Saint NL]

Just keep Aribo off the pitch, we look slow enough as it is

[Saint Billy]

Why do we take the foot off the gas every second half.

[AlexLaw76]

cracking pass by Archer...🤒

[Saint NL]

That pass was out of the Damion Downs trick book

[RedArmy]

Because we keep having to play 3 games in a week and we play high tempo football to blow teams away in the first half. 

[SNSUN]

I'm anxious and I'm not even watching it...
