Ah the days when Ford used to name models after porn mags eg Escort.

Manning has just pushed up, he's our most forward player

He'll be the carpark attendant by the end of the half (hopefully).

[Sheaf Saint]

Dull as fuck so far.

[Jack]

Loads of possession but lacking movement and slow to switch it. Some really shit passing around the back line too, don’t like it

Seen worse, there’s some semblance of movement with the passing unlike the last two ganes, but lacking a change of pace/bit of innovation. 

[bangkoksaint]

Maybe not a popular view but I think we have regressed back to slow and deliberate play which is easily telegraphed. When TE came in it was like a breath of fresh air and was maybe just a ‘bounce’.

Get it in the mixer to Armstrong!!!

[Sheaf Saint]

"GET IT FOOOORRWAAAARD!!!"

[obelisk]

Saints with plenty of slow possession but the Oxford 'keeper's hardest job so far has been to decide what to do with goal kicks.

[OttawaSaint]

Moving it around OK but not quickly or incisive enough. Receiving players not busting a gut to get into space.

[Gloucester Saint]

Better - nice play from Jandar creating space, decent ball but not getting the numbers in to attack.

YAY FIVE AT THE BACK AGAINST RELEGATION FODDER

Saints football Italia 

[Willo of Whiteley]

This is really poor. Again.

We play so slowly, and are unbelievably naive and rash when it comes to shooting. No composure whatsoever.

[saint michael]

Nice to see we are building their hope by not nailing them 

[Saint NL]

Good chance, poor finish

[OttawaSaint]

Should be 1 up. Good run Leo. Azaz very poor shot.

[Gloucester Saint]

Azaz should work the keeper there - instead an SUV has a smashed windscreen.

Probably one of those Kia white fridges on wheels.

[Willo of Whiteley]

People disagreeing with me on the previous page about “five at the back”, but seriously what is the point in three CBs?

Wouldn’t it make more sense to have an additional attacking player?

I’m sure most on here wouldn’t be playing three CBs.

[tdmickey3]

Poor stuff this, try something different FFS

[DT]

Our shooting is, once again, abysmal. Downes and Azaz awful. And there it is. Useless bunch of shit 

[SouSaint]

Pathetic defending once again. Fuck off. 

[saint michael]

There you fucking go

 

[Saint_clark]

😂

[Willo of Whiteley]

Edit: And three CB’s still works a treat.

[tdmickey3]

Lol

[Sheaf Saint]

You have to laugh.

[Edmonton Saint]

Saints going to Saints

[trousers]

FFS

[OttawaSaint]

Cocks! 1-0.

FFS!

[obelisk]

Bazunu lets another one in. Pathetic defending all round. 

[bpsaint]

Tonda Out

[Challenger]

Naive club from top to bottom.

[Saint NL]

Great finish TBF to them.

But my Christ we are so slow 

[DT]

Both teams to score. Etc

[Mr X]

FFS terrible! 

[Baird of the land]

Pathetic how slow we got out.

[Disco Stu]

This team can't defend and our tempo is too slow to really hurt them.

[Edmonton Saint]

Stephens just ball watching again without any semblance of a challenge  

[Chris cooper]

That’s exactly why we ain’t going up .. fucking useless cunts 

[Gloucester Saint]

Got away with that twice - but not the third time. 1-0.

The player we were linked with too. Dreadful defending and midfield play. Stephens very poor header. Hard one at first glance for Baz as a lot of players in his vision.

[Willo of Whiteley]

It cannot be difficult surely?!?!

[the colonel]

any streams

 

[Sheaf Saint]

All started from a very poor pass by Jander.

As soon as we cleared the corner initially, instead of pushing up we just retreated back into the box. Fucking ridiculous.

[BotleySaint]

Crisp packets.

Poor defending.

Oxford tactics working well.

Not likely under this Southgate clone.

[saintant]

Typical, 22 minutes total Russball then we fail to get our back line out after clearing a corner and they score. Our passing is poor.

[die Mannyschaft]

Oxford aren't as bad as we expected, think we have under estimated them. 

[OttawaSaint]

First CB miles off. Second CB pussy header into a juicy spot in the box. Third CB doing nothing but holding his tiny cock and thinking about his beard.

[Osvaldorama]

Fuck off saints
