Oxford 2-1 Saints - Match Thread

[Mboto Gorge]

Fellows looking dangerous last 15 min, so off he comes of course. 

[Baird of the land]

I get there’s sports science likely behind scienza/fellows subs but confused that azaz(who has been atrocious) and played as many minutes isn’t subbed too

We're throwing on a training cone. Fraser for Fellows.

How did he manage to be offside there FFS?

He's a completely spent force.

If we had a leader on the pitch maybe the players would collectively grow a pair and sort things out for themselves - despite what those on the touchline are telling them.

Add that to a kiddie Rasmus is pulling the strings of and it’s a recipe for decline, relegation and hopefully administration to get these morons out of the club.

Cheltenham v Shrewsbury a far better game, quicker and more skilful than the crap Oxford and Southampton were serving up.

[bangkoksaint]

What would be nice at the pressers is to see some really searching questions from the journos. All we get is weak questioning all because they don’t want to be banned. Martin got hauled across the coals by the Glasgow press and it was good to see

[SNSUN]

So our two best attacking talents have been subbed off. Tonda really is settling for a point here. I guess us fans are now hoping for another set piece miracle if we want a win. 

I can see Oxford winning this. 

[CB Fry]

Taking off all three of our best players makes me think this guy is not the managerial mastermind we thought he might be.

[OttawaSaint]

Fellows was just coming into the game too!?!

Do they have live stats on the players and when they drop below a certain possession threshold they get hauled off. Naturally the players trying to make something happen and be positive will have worse possession stats than the pass it sideways crowd.

[Harry_SFC]

Eckert out

Is it on Tonda or is he trapped between SR and a team of players hell bent on ignoring how he wants them to play?

Why didn't SR appoint an experienced manager who knows his own mind ?

[Saint In Cornwall]

Is Fraser known as wee man because he is piss poor........

[Greedyfly]

Ryan Fraser is the answer to no questions these days, ineffectual when he comes on.

 

Would rather not bother with Manning either. Wellington would be preferable to ether.

They’re passive in the sense Rasmus dictates them. Why do you think Spors wants out already? But if you’re a 31 year old kiddie you are easily led and he’s grateful for being a figurehead for Rasmus’s dirty work.

Thought Rasmus was taking a back seat now after all the disasterous decisions?

There was no one else realistically better in world football. No one at all

[tdmickey3]

Get the most attack minded players off, well done you utter clown.

Dreadful tactics again 

[Sidney Fudpucker the 3rd]

Woke up this morning thinking, here's a game we'll dominate and get nothing from. 
We're pretty shit really. This sort of fixture should be a 4-0 demolition. 
 

What's next? Brum, Boro and Millwall? 

We'll be lucky to get a point from those 3 fixtures. 

[BotleySaint]

Aimless lump forward there after we won the ball back. We've got nothing in the middle or upfront now. 

Pinned by Oxford.

[Zorba]

Penned in our own half by the mighty Oxford United

[Saint Matty 76]

Why do we always look like we’re playing with 10-men in the last quarter of a game?

[Micky]

Is Oxford away a good point? 

[qwertyell]

This is ridiculously poor. 

How did we spend so much to end up with so little?

He takes the better, creative players off for static defensive, slow players. It wouldn't surprise me if Oxford score now. We just invite opposition to attack after subs. On plus side it may help relegate Pompey 

[Harry_SFC]

Hanging on away at Oxford United. Jesus it's bad isn't it.

I’m watching the far superior game at Whaddon Rd, is the second half at the Kassam or whatever it’s called really as bad as the thread suggests? It was appalling after 15 mins in the first half and I escaped the SR Valium dose.

[Saint Fan CaM]

Hanging on against relegation zone Oxford Utd. Absolutely fucking disgraceful!

[Mboto Gorge]

Happy to hang on for a draw at Oxford, great stuff. Just kicking it anywhere now. Apparently we play to win every game though 

[BotleySaint]

We've completely lost our shape since the last sub. Nobody knows where they should be. 

[Zorba]

It’s looking like it.. if we can hang on

[Nieldy]

What is Gordon Strachan doing these days, he would sort this shower of crap out.

 

[beatlesaint]

This is just totally effin crap

Because he wouldn’t be a yes man.  Eckert doesn’t have the tools to deal with our club.  Another philosophy manager was the last thing the club needed.  Fucking shite.

The substitutions beggar believe. The manager is clueless

Yep, it won't he long before is worse

This is just dreadful. Dreadful fucking everything.

[Osvaldorama]

Fucking dog shit as usual. 
 

Detestable club the last couple of years. Just zero joy watching this dross. 

[SW11_Saint]

I‘m starting to think Tonda isn’t the tactical genius he was billed as…

[macca155]

Romeu and Frazer are both desperate, why oh why. Saints look like a pub team, just embarrassing now.

We all know what's coming ..... seen this film before

[Obstacle1]

This is abysmal

Is there evidence of that? 

[tdmickey3]

Terrible miss

[CB Fry]

Fucking shoot

[Suhari]

Nutsack. Should have scored.

[Ed Rooney]

Need to give up on Romeu, it’s a gimmick that isn’t working 

[OttawaSaint]

Fucking clown! What a miss!

[Saint NL]

Big chance, missed
