You could try PornHub. I doubt they’ll be streaming the match but they’ve probably got something more interesting to watch.

🤣

Seems like our streams are matched up.

[Saint Fan CaM]

My word our defence is a shambles.

[coalman]

Three players and not one tried to put pressure on the crosser.

...and he's coming off.

Tessem just said the guy's only managed 11 starts in 3 seasons.

That's rough on the fella 

Didn't realise Ross was on the pitch .

[Roger]

Nobody got any streams that work must be first time it’s happened! 

[AlexLaw76]

We allow soooo many crosses

WTF is Manning doing? Completely absconds his duty as a left back.

Bazunu commanding his area 🙄

[Maggie May]

Another terrible performance. One takeaway is the commentator mentioned Nathan Wood is the son of Dean Gordon. I didn’t know that.

[Mr X]

Boro move it that bit faster and are that bit more switched on than us....

So we are not any better than the Millwall game? 

[coalman]

Ball goes wide to Boro's right. Manning nowhere to be seen. Great tackle by Quarshie

[SouSaint]

This is fucking pathetic. 

[Saint Fan CaM]

Manning goes missing once again - Quarshie saved him

[Saint NL]

So much space in our defense. Shambles

[AlexLaw76]

This is fucking shit. Tonda is fucking shit

[Osvaldorama]

This is a very poor performance again. 
 

Formation just does not get the best out of any of our players 

[Sheaf Saint]

Boro pressing us into mistake after mistake when we try to play out.

Why not try something different FFS?

[tdmickey3]

Hilariously bad at back despite this 3 cb

Same old dirge. Boro ramping up the pressure now. Won’t be long until they score.

[Saint NL]

Now Boro are pressing and we fall apart. First 15 mins they didn't press and we could move forward

[Edmonton Saint]

We looked lively for the first minute

[Saint Fan CaM]

It’s all Boro. No answer from Saints.

[coalman]

Ball comes in. One striker. Three CBs. Nobody near the striker. Lucky he was offside.

[Disco Stu]

More Russel Martin shit. They know we're trying to play it out and pressing us into mistakes.

[AlexLaw76]

Please for fuck sake, why can't the manager do something different with this group of players.

We are already dropping so deep and giving up midfield. 

[Farmer Saint]

How many times do I have to say it, it's not the coaching, it's not the formation. Our defensive players are fucking shite. Year 3 of saying this now, and yet no-one seems to be picking up on it.

1 trick pony coach under Ankerson instructions 

[obelisk]

'boro have obviously done their homework in Saints Plan A. They didn't have to do anything more than that because Saints have nothing else.

[Obstacle1]

This is starting to remind me of Martin in the Premier league, where we were regularly embarrassed by trying to play out from the back when it clearly wasn't working. Except now its championship opposition doing it

Formations dont matter, have you not realised that yet 

[Saint-Reece]

This is horrendous. No options in midfield or to enable us to get up the pitch. 

[JohnnyShearer2.0]

So poor. I dont get why Saints persist with this shit.

[tdmickey3]

It's a matter of time before we concede 

[Wade Garrett]

Same old same old.  What a surprise.

Dogshit.

Because with 3 CBs everybody leaves it to somebody else.

[Ed Rooney]

Same fuckin shit formation and tactics every fuckin week 

[jamesfp1]

This is so surprising. I didn't expect the game to go like this at all.

[Suhari]

This.

We've got nothing.

[AlexLaw76]

So many players dropping deeper and deeper

 

[Strangely Brown]

We look so off the pace.
The defence is all over the place and we can’t keep the ball for more than two passes. We are dreadful 

[Sir Ralph]

Change formation to 4-2-3-1. 
 

we can’t press in this formation and our attacking players are too deep.

instead we await the inevitable.

Manning so brave again there. 

He always ducks out of those instead of actually challenging for the ball.

[Saint86]

How deep can we go.... this is worse than Southgate for england ffs, i want to give him a chance but he uses every opportunity to come across as utterly tactically illiterate. 

Edited Sunday at 15:26 by Saint86

[tdmickey3]

Dreadful 

Scienza needs to come off to rest soon surely 

[Sheaf Saint]

Adam just reminds us that Boro haven't scored for four games.

We know what comes next don't we.

[St. Ciervo]

Our chance to counter-attack blown with a backwards pass. Surprised?

Yep, the coaching must be so shit. That this is still happening.
