Kyogo through on goal. He misses. Again. 

Saints really want this bloke to open his account.

Rasmus will be looking to sign him. 

[Viking Saint]

Two chances for Brum to score. Losing the midfield battle every time.

Absolute fucking dogshit

[Suhari]

This is already entertaining in a 'teams a bit shit' kind of a way.

[Osvaldorama]

Should be 1-0 down..

 

Luckily Kyogo is the Japanese Damion Downs

[tdmickey3]

Some fantastic passing 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Across the back🙄

[CheshireSaint]

Baz rooted to his line again. Such a sh1t keeper. 

[Willo of Whiteley]

Excellent use of the additional CB so far. Doing fuck all defensively.

[tdmickey3]

Goal against incoming 

[Saint NL]

What's the point of having a wingback that doesn't push up?

[leeham_69]

where oh where did our rapid end to end passing go. was it all a dream?

[Killers Knee]

walking football virus is back again

[OttawaSaint]

And still it continues. 3CBs but all so easily beaten. Makes no sense at all to go with 3 if they are all slow as fuck, dim as fuck and don't have a clue where to be or what to do.

[RobJones1971]

How come every ball we play over the top their GK is out like Usain Bolt and over the top of our defence it looks like someone has tied Baz’s shoelaces together!!

This is bloody terrible.. 

[Harry_SFC]

Need another man in midfield. It's so bloody obvious. 

[lambtiss]

Our shape looks wrong on the left hand side

[Mboto Gorge]

Baz making it as easy as he possibly could for them to score there, rooted to his line looking the size of a jelly baby in there 

[OttawaSaint]

Tedious as fuck waiting for the inevitable...

[saint michael]

Midfield is only there to knock it back to the cbs

Midfield battle? We don't have any kind of functioning midfield so it can't really be called a battle.

 

[LGTL]

Fucking woeful so far

Has been forever but still this obsession with 3 CBs continues.

[Willo of Whiteley]

Have we got any midfielders?

[leeham_69]

Manning would pass back to the CBs from the penalty spot (if he ever found his way up that far)

[SonicBoom]

They get the ball at the back, wrong press. We get it and theyre all over us. 

Also why is a defender taking goal kicks and playing them in to the 6 yard box to bazunu who gets pressurised. Absolute suicide, I was coached not to do that at the age of 8. Unbelievable. 

[Viking Saint]

WTF has actually happened to this team? What happened to the Charlton performance, the sharp, incisive forward passing and movement off the ball?? Why were the players suddenly 'playing for Tonda' and now they've got the man, they turn up with this shower of shit?? 

Makes no sense whatsoever

[Mboto Gorge]

I mean, I think most of us have already accepted what’s likely to happen tonight , having seen the early knockings of this game. 

[Sheaf Saint]

Sooooo fucking easy to defend against.

[RedArmy]

When is Shea Charles back ffs. 
 

When the going gets tough these two just aren’t it. 

[whelk]

One in a thousand? Against Baz?

[Saint Matty 76]

1 in 1,000! Seems like it’s about 1 in 10 that go in against us.

[Turkish]

Great save Baz!

[Saint NL]

Can't blame their player for shooting from there. Might as well with Bazunu in goal

[obelisk]

Saints being totally outgunned in midfield. Hardly managing to get out of our own half. Lots of slow possession at the back though.

[madge]

Is Tonda actually showing his incompetence or is he having to adopt to SR playbook. Either way we’re absolute GASH!!!

[64saint]

Manning wtf

[LGTL]

We just lose midfield, every single week,  before we’ve even started. As long as we have 3 shit CB’s on the field though, all is good.

Okay, midfield nonentity. Make you feel better??

[Lone ranger]

Boring sideways boring babckward oops nearly a goal sideward that’s chancy repeat ad nauseam

[Holmes_and_Watson]

We're not able to pass it to Leo, and hope he does something, and not giving Robinson that role.

Instead of imposing ourselves, we're drawing them out to try and pass through them. With all the usual joy that brings as they can press and get some momentum.

[AlexLaw76]

Jus more of the same

pass it around at the back and try and pass it through a packed midfield

is this all Tonda has?

[OttawaSaint]

Oh fuck off Manning. Just fuck off!

[Saint Matty 76]

We look so dull. Don’t have any numbers in an advanced area. Only way we can score is a bit of magic on the turn from Fellows/Robinson to start a break.

Properly fed up of this set-up.

[Sheaf Saint]

Another stupid giveaway from Manning and they get into a shooting position with ease.

Everything we try and do to get forward is laboured and easily cut out.

We can't get out.

It's going to be a long evening

How'd we know who was who?

[Harry_SFC]

This is just as bad if not worse than when Still was in charge 

[Lighthouse]

This is a bit crap. Might go and look if there are any pictures of boobs on the internet. 

[do i not like fizzy pop]

Any streams?

Actually, don't bother, it's depressing enough watching the text updates
