Oof. Millwall nearly take advantage of one of our predictable passes. Yellow for Wood or that would have been worse.

So fucking needless too, horrific style of football, even Branfoot’s was better to watch.

Strikes me there has been an almighty bust up after the post match debriefing on Monday.

What are you basing that on?

[The Kraken]

Can’t say I’m enjoying watching 3 centre backs and 2 holding midfielders. On the rare occasions we break their first line there’s just not enough options in there. Leo having a quiet game by his standards.

[obelisk]

Cheap corner for Millwall.

Saints Darts manager would only want to use 2 darts...

Slow passing no risks taken. Any average team could defend this.

we do. It is just the same thing.

Notice how teams allow our CBs to have the ball in our defensive 3rd, then man mark midfielders. That is why Leo is dropping further to get the ball as there is no space

we of course, just keep doing them same thing, and expect Manning and the CBs to create too much

Also, due to the back 3/5. We retreat very quickly into a back 5, leaving the middle of the park wide-open

Another suicide pass from Archer, Wood yellow.

Looks like Wood walked off saying ' fucking shit pass' lol

[BARCELONASAINT]

Our defending is abysmal 

[Ed Rooney]

Jesus fuckin Christ Archer - passing and touch of a Sunday Junior 8 side 

Bragg and Downes in the same fricken hole when the centre backs have it - surely he can see we don’t need both of them. 
 

Matsuki, Archer, Scienza all coming into our half to receive the ball 

It’s not rocket science Tonda ffs 

[bangkoksaint]

I’m bored. We’re at home FFS. 

[Saint Fan CaM]

Another masterclass from Manning on how NOT to close down a winger

[LGTL]

There’s no defending this. No fucking way

so fucking defensive

[James]

Another cheap corner. God this defensive unit is so so bad. 

[Gloucester Saint]

Never a penalty. Millwall much the better team, Saints holding on here.

[Totton Saint]

The number of players dropped.

[obelisk]

That long throw should have been taken by the keeper with a shout. Corner conceded again though.

[OttawaSaint]

I'm bored.

It was. Could easily have been prevented.

I noticed that Matsuki though was putting himself between Baz and the Millwall player looking to block him off. Maybe we do learn from mistakes after all.

It takes something special to play so defensively and yet be so wide open at the back 😆

[Big M]

We are bloody awful.... 

[stknowle]

This is so fucking boring.

[Mr X]

Too early to Say Tonda is a fraud? after the intitial Mini run of wins we've seen still levels of football

Probably more to do with the fact this is our second game in 4 days and our third in just over a week…

As we saw in the last game he likes to stay on his line.

[saintant]

Missing Fellows but when he comes on we know Scienza will go off.

[obelisk]

Millwall players stronger all round. All a bit men against boys at the moment.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Decent long throw gets them a corner. Millwall stronger. Pushed us back, stopped any overloads and easily compact enough to stop the balls to feet every one of players in attack wants.

Need to push up down those flanks.

[Suhari]

Sideways, sideways, backwards.

This is as bad as the RM days.

Fuck me..... What's happened in the last month or so?

[tdmickey3]

Virtually no attacking intent bar Leo.

Shambolic panicy defending not helped by a GK who is nailed to his like.

Could be a good point against 5th placed Millwall. 

The description of how far we have fallen and still are

[Sheaf Saint]

Odd handball. Looked accidental, but also looked very easy to NOT do as well.

I'd support him if he had the bollocks to drop the 3 CBs. 

[Lighthouse]

What is this ‘tator on about? It wasn’t Bragg booked, it was the Millwall defender.

 

[Gloucester Saint]

Even Chris Iwulemo can see that the style of play is making Saints too easy to push back and bemoaning the lack of risk-taking to create spaces to play into midfield. 

Shite free kick Scienza.

[Saint Fan CaM]

Poor FK from Scienza

[saintant]

We've had 63% possession but we all know where most of that has been.

[Turkish]

Elert is tiny! Looks like a kid playing in a man’s game 

[Sevvy]

Well it's time to bring on the sexy nuns,

Winning what matters 

[Disco Stu]

If all Eckert is going to do is play Martin ball, he can leave now. We're so boring to watch. This is utter shit football.

Either 3 or 5 seems to be the number and neither works 

[SNSUN]

Bloody hell Manning. Pass straight to the opposition. What has Welington done to not get in ahead of him? 

[Saint NL]

Archer doing Archer things

[The Kraken]

Fucks sake Tasmin.

But he'll take off Jelert and Leo...

Archer totally rubbish

[Ed Rooney]

Jesus Christ Archer is dog shit
