[Saint NL]

That's a foul ffs

[Turkish]

They are roughing us up need to be strong here

Ball had pretty much already gone out of play though.

That is irrelevant

We need a goal or two before our standard shit second half

Need Fellows to drive forward or today someone similar. 

[Lighthouse]

They’re basically just kicking us off the park aren’t they. No other game plan.

[Saint NL]

Scienza is getting kicked all over the park

[Saint Fan CaM]

So many fucking fouls in one passage of play and the Ref is bottling it.

It’s the only way a team where they are can beat us. If they give us loads of space, we will hammer them.

 

[Southner]

Sod's law, one of our guys will probably retaliate in a minute and get sent off.

He’s getting kicked all over the country. The Brazilian Grealish. 

[Saint NL]

Ref needs to get control and book someone here

[James]

Norwich are shit. They are just kicking us up in the air and then crying to the ref.

He rightly played advantage as we still had the ball in a good position

Too soon to bring on Romeu to reciprocate...? 😁

[James]

Would be nice to see Wood or Downes go through on of theirs just to bite back a bit.

[sandwichsaint]

They sliced us there, should have scored.

He was fouled 16 times in Leicester and Birmingham games alone

[Lone ranger]

What has happened. Why have reverted to Russball XL every time we have the ball at the back. It’s just a matter of time until they score. 

[Mr X]

We aren't exactly taking the game to them at the moment 

[AlexLaw76]

The whole giving the ball to THB to find the killer pass is not working

 

[BotleySaint]

No midfield today. 

[Bakovnetski]

Downes is not making himself available enough for a pass out of defence. They need him to provide the option.

He and Fraser have the same limitations. Can't turn on the ball. Fraser has totally lost his pace also. Need players who can turn it around.

They have shut the space down. Like WBA did in the 2nd half

 

we seem to not have another way of playing football 

[Saint Fan CaM]

They’ve basically resorted to fucking around at the back again. It’s only shit Norwich that saves us.

[Sheaf Saint]

That was fucking wank. Passed it around our own box for ages, eventually knocked it forward and gave it straight back, then they carve us open and should have scored.

As bas as it ever was under RM.

Imagine being so absolutely raging at a football match that you chuck your lollipop on the pitch.

He’s going to regret having nothing to stick up his arse later

Fully agree. Just thought that same thing.

Apart from Jandr scienza and azaz it’s martins team 

[obelisk]

Another unchallenged cross into the box. 

[Willo of Whiteley]

Get a midfielder on.

There is no benefit in Bazunu always passing it five yards ahead of him to a defender. Such a waste of a position.

[AlexLaw76]

If our peers are watching, you know they will be saying Saints are average at best 

[RedArmy]

Remember when Fraser was “our best player this season” 

Explains why we were so shit. 

[Chris cooper]

Lucky they are shit upfront 

[sandwichsaint]

We really don’t need three CBs today, 4-4-fucking-2 and we would have way too much for them.

[Saint NL]

Tom Fellows with one leg is better than Fraser

Not quick enough in the play

[obelisk]

Fraser is no Fellows replacement. Always looking to play backwards.

[whelk]

Better leave Leo on for longer this game. With him there’s always hope 

[Saint NL]

Living dangerously at the back

[Saint Matty 76]

Threat outside of Scienza is non-existent.

[Southner]

Ah shit. There's a second half, isn't there.

[Mr X]

We deserve to be two or three down Norwich have missed some sitters 

[Sheaf Saint]

Close from Leo.

[Turkish]

We are so shit wide defensively what’s that been, probably 5 decent crosses into the box if they had a striker they’d have scored at least a couple 

[coalman]

Imagine how good we'll be in the second half when we bring on Aribo and Romeu.

[RedArmy]

We missed a penalty and an open goal. 

[bangkoksaint]

Yes we’ve had some great results. Unfortunately we’ll have too many games like this half to go up

Fucking idiot

[die Mannyschaft]

I'll take a draw. May turn radio off 2nd half as if its usual 5 subs on and 5 best players off we may not survive today.
