Saints 1-1 Coventry - Match Thread

[BotleySaint]

Azaz through balls not quite there today. But surely he'll get one right eventually.

Commentator on Sky reckons we have a back four, THB playing right back and Wellington in midfield

Didn’t he put Armstrong through 1 on 1?

I get it, but we've tried that too and they're just too on it. Coventry are dominating because they started the game right up for it. If we can keep them out until they settle down we might be able to try a few different things, right now it's just about frustrating them.

Doesn't mean they're not any good. Their backup CBs are almost certainly better than our first choice.

Despite being crap, we’ve arguably had the best two chances to score. We were linked with the centre half who was at Swansea under Martin.

Don't know what he's watching because that's quite obviously not the case.

Any streams please  ?

Something we were doing regularly when Fellows was fit.

This is much more like it

[Saint_clark]

Example there of sucking them into the press creating space in midfield for Scienza to drop into and pick it up. Good play.

[Sheaf Saint]

Commentator reckons Grimes didn't foul, despite him quite blatantly leaving his foot out. 

What game are these clowns watching?

[BotleySaint]

Much better last 7-8 mins. We'd never see this under Still. But still no goal.

We saw plenty of attacking and creating chances without scoring under Still.

He didn't say that, he said Scienza should stay on his feet and play the pass - which he should have. He's clearly a top player but it bugs me.

[Saint_clark]

Bazunu is fucking awful.

Well he got booked, so ref thought it was a foul…..

[goodymatt]

This commentator hates Saints, so negative every time. His comment on us playing a back four shows he didn’t research how we’ve been playing this system under Eckert.

Considering his strength is his kicking, that was pretty poor

Yep, an accident waiting to happen.

He said that Grimes tried to bring his foot in, but the replay showed he quite obviously and deliberately left it out. 

[Saint_clark]

Coventry took that throw about 25 yards further forward than where it went out.

[sockeye]

Good from Bazunu to go for that.

[ChrisPY]

Bazunu needs to be out so much quicker than that.

[Turkish]

Never a penalty in a million years

Yep very slow coming off his line

Even if he'd dropped it directly on Mannings head, the way Bazunu floated it meant he'd have been under pressure immediately. 

 

No penalty there, shoulder to shoulder.

Wright never in control of it either. 

[Saint NL]

So slow out, that should have been Bazunus ball much earlier.

Glacial reaction from him as usual.

THB did really well honestly. Leant into the man with the perfect level of force to not be a foul.

[obelisk]

Manning with acres to run into so her turns round and passes back. Frustrating.

THB gets his yellow, that might cost us

[Gloucester Saint]

Lampard still moaning about the shoulder to shoulder.

[Saint NL]

He always saves it when there's an offside 😂

[Sheaf Saint]

What's Fwank so upset about?

Cheeseburgers sold out in the concourse.

[obelisk]

Saints defending at corners is anything is terrifying.

[Saint NL]

Good save Bazunu, fucking Manning in no man's land again

[Mr X]

Coventry looking dangerous now 

[Gloucester Saint]

Good save, at a height he should be saving, but decent nonetheless. Absolute shambles on the corner glued to his line. Very lucky to be 0-0.

[obelisk]

Scienza being kicked all over the place as usual.

[Saint_clark]

Freekick in a dangerous position. Scienza and Manning rock paper scissors to take it.

At least it wasn’t in full public view.

[saint michael]

We are now always receiving the ball with back to their goal. Slows us down and back to our old ways 

[Saint NL]

Looked like Scienza gave Manning an earful for that free kick

[saint michael]

Instinct is to pass it backwards again 

[Saint_clark]

Down goes the stream. Bastards.

[Gloucester Saint]

Coventry’s struggling with the long throw and get away with it.

[saint michael]

We’ve gotta be running behind their defence 

[kjurwi]

Azaz hasn't been on the ball that much.
