Bazunu lets another one in. Pathetic defending all round. 

TBF took a Nick off TBH on its way. Think Banzunu might have got there apart from that.

[obelisk]

Just a reminder for Saints that it doesn't matter how much time you spend fannying around with the ball. What really matters is sticking the thing in the net.

[JohnnyShearer2.0]

Very lacklustre today. Going a goal down shows that too.

[badgerx16]

Remember when we scored 5 in the first half at Charlton

 

Seems a lifetime away.

[trousers]

Poor defending (as always), but how does Bazunu not stop that... He actually seemed to be in the right place at the right time (for once), and got across to cover the shot, yet it still went past him...

We’ve basically got 25 minutes now to save the game because we know we never turn up in the 2nd half 

[SNSUN]

Jesus Saints. We really are shit. Atrack a bit without any real penetration then watch them smash one in. 

There's only so long you can talk about the Eckert bounce before it's irrelevant. Big transfer window coming up if we want to try to get into the playoffs this season.

[Lee On Solent Saint]

What the fuck is Stephens doing? Just fuckin watched him head the ball straight back into the area

[Jack]

Stephens has to at least challenge for that header. Great hit but fuck me that situation shouldn’t happen

Naive club from top to bottom.

With the personnel we have, we're not a serious club.

[Gloucester Saint]

Jack nearly causing 2-0 ball-watching. Tonda - grow a pair of bollocks, stand up to that Danish prick and get Stephens off. 

[RedArmy]

What the fuck happened to Tondaball. 
 

Very concerning that even the shit teams can stop us from running at them. 
 

Surely we haven’t found another fraud.

Stephen’s has been shit

This is just Russball all over again isn't it.

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

Saints aren't as good as they think. People overestimate them.

[SouSaint]

How much did this team cost to assemble? 🤣

Playing 3 CBs at this level is laughable, it invites pressure every fucking game and surprise surprise, we cave at the first shot. 

[Nieldy]

Bloody new manager bounce.

Because he's utterly shit at goalkeeping.

This is really poor. Again.

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

We cant play outside of Russell Martin football,  its ingrained in Saints now

But with an inferior manager 

[Saint Fan CaM]

Utter shite football once again. Manning is just awful as usual and just when you need Bazunu to be a keeper, he shows he’s not one. The team has somehow conspired to totally reverting back to Russball. 

[saint michael]

1 1

[saintant]

Decent header from THB.

[BotleySaint]

ThB!

[Willo of Whiteley]

tTHB our second best attacking player in the team

[Saint NL]

Manning is in acres of space on the left.

It's the Saganowski effect. 

Gone to shit since he signed a permanent contract.

[SNSUN]

Taylor! At least we have set piece goals...

[OttawaSaint]

Hardwood Bellend!!! 1-1!

[trousers]

THB! 

[Gloucester Saint]

Harwood-Bellend digging Jack and Tonda out of a hole.

[saint michael]

We should be really hammering them 

[obelisk]

Blimey! Easy header. 1-1.

[davefizzy14]

THB 😊 get in!

[Saint NL]

Good header, need to go on and win this now

[ChristopheVAFC]

Let's go Saint's !!!!

[BotleySaint]

Got to admire THB. He is a threat, at both ends.

[Southner]

Goo arn! 

[benjii]

3 cbs = more chance of scoring.

[Hawkswood]

Think people being very very harsh on bazunu with their goal. It was a really good strike swerving away from him thru a crowded box.

[saintant]

Leo a bit off it so far.

In their half, just as he leaves acres of space on the left in ours.

[Gloucester Saint]

WTF was that from Downes? Baz clears the lines in the right way but which Russell would have curled his lip in disgust at.

It was a comfortable height. He got something on it but was weak.

Arma miles off it today so far.
