Norwich 2-1 Saints - Match Thread

[Mr X]

Embarrassed by Norwich 

[AlexLaw76]

Am a huuuuhge Baz critic,  but he could not do anything with the goal

[badgerx16]

Tonda has no plan B, it's just plan A with worse players when he makes changes.

[Jack]

Can’t stop a cross, can’t win a header, don’t have a goalkeeper capable of helping out. Shite

When chasing a goal you have to bring off one of the centre-backs, surely. 

You would think but...

100%. Can’t blame Bazunu for the ref missing a clear handball.

I wouldn’t be putting much money on that tbf

[Edmonton Saint]

With our courageous brave captain Jack Stephens at the heart of our defence, year on year we’ve been an absolute shambles at the back. No organization at all.

[bpsaint]

Pointless blaming Baz or the handball when Wood was trying to let the ball run across goal instead of helping it on its way. Atrocious defending so soon after getting ourselves back in the game.

That Makama lad looks decent....

Tonda urgently needs to find his Plan B, no sign of it at the moment though.

Where's VAR when you need it?

We don't cheat enough that a major problem. We should be doing anything to stop balls being crossed into our box or get a player sent off. Too soft.

[gammon cheeks]

Ok handballl ...but shit defending again from crosses . ..Bazunu is garbage 

 

[JohnS]

How many years have we been absolute Dogshit at defending?

it’s like a bloody perpetual circus back there - embarrassing!  
Surely there’s a decent defensive coach out there somewhere

He has and its working, we’ve conceded goals in 2nd half

It's not about organisation, it's doing the basics and the defenders we have are so shit at the basics. Have been for years.

Very likely. We're getting bullied, need to be much more physical. 

[Saint Matty 76]

Extremely robotic unless the ball is with Leo.

[saint michael]

Wood. A player that lives up to his name 

[obelisk]

It's just not possible to rely on outscoring teams with this leaky Saints defence and get promotion.

[Saint Scott]

Bizarre subs from Tonda too. Ditch a Defender for fuck sake

We've been too soft in this regard for as long as I can remember. We need to give as good as we get when other sides play their 'dark arts' card.

Yep 

[Saint Fan CaM]

Our defenders are all playing such a high line we’ll get caught on the break.

Would. 

[Turkish]

Aside from the first 15 mins or so we deserve nothing from this game absolute shit especially defensively

Not one that can fix Stephens and our gang...

[obelisk]

Robinson coming on for Stephens. Going to 4 at the back?

[Saint Fan CaM]

Stephens off for Robinson.

[Viking Saint]

Robinson for Stephens. Best sub of the last two years

[DrSuess1979]

Here's your plan B

[Sheaf Saint]

JRob on for Stephens.

FINALLY!

[Winnersaint]

Looks like one of those days, happen in the Championship.

But they are shit inside our own box so makes no difference.

Nope - still five apparently 🥴🙄

God, the ref has been awful

How is that now a fk?

They were there for the taking in the opening stages of the first half and we fluffed it

Too little too late from Tonda

[Osvaldorama]

This ref man…

Unsurprising considering how dreadful this ref has been so far.

I'd rather the whole team stsnd on opposition 25 yard box. All that stupid passing across our box is another problem we have made a habit.

Ah, so we should be able to score by defying the laws of physics then, yeah?

[RedArmy]

What the fuck is the formation here? Wellington at CB?
