Saints 1-1 Coventry - Match Thread

[saintant]

No changes at half time. What game is Tonda watching?

[Big M]

We're a bit crap really aren't we... Downes? Is he on the pitch, THB and Wood are they marking each other? Manning may as well be sat in the stand,Tonda needs to change this now, Fellows on, Manning off, Robinson on THB off. 

[Saint NL]

 

Let's hope so 

[Convict Colony]

maybe today is the day we have a good 2nd half finally 

[saintant]

Red card!

[James G]

There's the red card 

[obelisk]

Red card for DaSilva. Dreadful tackle. 

[Mr X]

Think SR got well carried away with the good mini run and decided to appoint tonda without thinking it through or seeing if he could do it longer term! Second half's we have been  terrible 

[Turkish]

That reply shows that’s an awful tackle definitely red

get fellows on NOW

An absolute waste of a player like having ten men, barely puts any effort in 

Except when the all you can eat Christmas buffet is on, Joe is always first to that.

[saintant]

Right, back fucking four now!

[Saint NL]

Straight red

[coalman]

Ouch. That replay is horrific. Well spotted ref

[benali-shorts]

Fellows on immediately please 

[coalman]

Or. Let's get another centre back on to defend against crosses.

[Suhari]

Tuned in late and the first thing I see is the red card.

You can thank me later.

And in other positive news, my pork pie and pickled onion lunch is fantastic.

[stknowle]

Good decision ref. Now can we improve upon our 1 star record of taking advantage of being a man up?

[Sheaf Saint]

Cov down to ten.

Game over then.

[Mr X]

We are even worse usually against ten 😂🤞

[saintant]

Man sent off for them and Tonda appears to be sitting on his hands.

[obelisk]

No need for five at the back now. Question is, does Eckert have what it takes?

[AlexLaw76]

Get fellows on now

[Lee On Solent Saint]

Absolutely no excuse for a fuckin back five now

[bpsaint]

Luckily if there’s one team that’s great against 10 men it’s us 😳

[Harry_SFC]

Fellows on for a defender now, surely?

[Gloucester Saint]

Definite red card, could’ve broken Wellington’s leg.

FFS get Fellows on. Rip up the Rasmus playbook and ditch 5ATB, show some cojones.

If Tonda doesn't scrap the back 5 now, we have made the wrong appointment.

[Saint_clark]

They're still a good enough side to go on and beat us by 2 or even 3. We need to adjust and push them back to reduce their attacking threat.

[Mr X]

This has to a draw minimum at home against ten men no excuses not to get something out of the game! 

[coalman]

"Surely they don't need five at the back".... amen, tater, amen..

[Saint_clark]

Wood was held in a headlock there. 

[adrian lord]

Our record against 10 men is not the best if my memory serves me well...!

Rabbit in the headlights, if I was Lallana I’d be telling Fellows to warm up and prepare to change shape straight away, Lampard’s made his changes and been proactive.

He’s petrified of disobeying Rasmus. What does he do to the managers?

Let's wait and see how long it takes TE to react. When Leicester went down to ten we persisted with 3 CBs for a further ten minutes before making any changes.

[coalman]

Now we get 5 minutes of pressure before Coventry realise they can nullify us with 10 men as easily as 11. Meanwhile no subs are made because playing 4 at the back is a sackable offence for Sport Republic.

[Saint NL]

Tonda make a sub, Tonda Tonda make a sub 🎶

[Saint_clark]

Their defenders have handfuls of shirts before the corner is even taken.

[stknowle]

C’MON!!! GTFI

[obelisk]

1-1. Coventry defence very beatable here.

[Saint_clark]

Yessssssssss

[coalman]

GOAL!

[Turkish]

Get in! Now win it you pricks 

[Suhari]

Pick the pickle out of that.

1-1

[Saint NL]

Yesssssss

[Saint NL]

Wood looks like he's injured himself scoring 🤦

[Lighthouse]

Just got home and turned the telly on, that’ll do!

[Saint NL]

The ball went through the keeper

[Saint_clark]

Perfect evidence there that you need to immediately apply more pressure when the ball is cleared. They never reorganised from the chaos of the first cross. I'd like to see more quickly taken corners etc as well for that reason.

[Suhari]

Unlucky Azaz.

Great move.
