Clean sheet so far and if he keeps that up til the end of the season….

Peretz very slow to collect the first wayward pass. 

I thought the same. Hopefully his reactions are quicker than that!

[SNSUN]

Dom Ballard with the easiest goal he'll ever score.

[CB Fry]

Hopefully the kick off time of the final in May will be at a decent time, really annoying when its like five o clock in the afternoon.

[whelk]

Bugger, no potential trip to Everton in the later rounds. But hey at least they are out

[Pamplemousse]

Midfield looks a lot better today. More control and more battles being won. No surprise that's where the goal came from.

Or Palace. Need Liverpool out too to get the trifecta.

[Saint Fan CaM]

We’re pressing well and thanks to more in midfield we’re picking up the loose balls.

[Saint Fan CaM]

Robinson still taking one touch too many before releasing the ball to a teammate.

Back 4...Downes and Bragg in front....

Haha baffled!

I’m sure he’ll revert to seven at the back for the next one

[obelisk]

Saints fairly comfortable but balls into the box still pretty awful. Has Archer had a touch yet?

The fuck?

It’s always been that way. Plum 😂🤦🏻‍♂️

Been what way?

[Saint Scott]

Peretz seems to be communicating well with the defence. So already one up on Baz

Peretz comes for crosses. It’s a miracle

[Saint Fan CaM]

Not much to do so far, but I’m getting a sense that Peretz’s positioning is a bit suspect. We’ll see.

[OttawaSaint]

Peretz has a long throw.

[Pamplemousse]

Nice punch Peretz. A little bit of a drop later but recovered alright.

[whelk]

The commentators voice was bugging me as sounds so familiar then realised it was Matt Davies-Adams from podcast, What the EFL

[St. Ciervo]

Peretz more aggressive on the corner than Baz, but spilled the return.

Fantastic long throw. 

[Saint NL]

Goal, archer

[Saint Scott]

Lovely

His position is nailed on!

[Saint NL]

Big deflection, but nicely done

[Pamplemousse]

We're going to Wembley, que sera sera

[davefizzy14]

Archer 😊 get in!

[St. Ciervo]

2-0. Doncaster will feel that both goals should have been fouls on the buildup...but tough muffins.

[SaintBobby]

I’d settle for a repeat of 76. No promotion but win the Cup.

[OttawaSaint]

My stream is now 5 minutes behind. I'll enjoy the goal in a little while.

Need to sign a few more Camerons in January.

[HarvSFC]

League One opposition, but seen upsets already last night and today, so it's amazing what happens when you play in the opposition's half.

I do. My friend can’t get it on his streaming service.

My friend says it's working really well on xtrememedia on the Stansport event channel 14... 

[Pamplemousse]

Matsuki has a habit of giving away fouls in stupid areas

[SNSUN]

Nice one Camalam. We have a cushion, a few more would be nice for the travelling fans.

Either that or play a few more League 1 sides.... 

[hypochondriac]

I accept the opposition is lower but who could have guessed we change formation and look a lot better. What a shock.

Nah.... Formations don't make any difference, innit.... Gotta be the quality of the opposition and nothing else....

[Willo of Whiteley]

Struggling to get excited, maybe we just found out level

We will walk League 1 next season!

[Hawkswood]

Im at work and cant watch. Are we definitely playing with a back four ?

[Saint Scott]

Archer should make it 3

It jumped back to real time right after Archer scored.

My stream's so far behind we're still playing Middlesbrough 

[Osvaldorama]

I can’t believe successive idiots forced this squad to play 5 at the back. 
 

We actually look like a football team again in this formation.

That sounds hopeful.

When we get relegated to Div 1 our MIdfield will boss it!!!
