FK for Saints in Manning territory.

Imagine him against their winger on that side…

Carnage 

[Hopper]

Missing Downes’ bite in the middle.

[SNSUN]

FK Saints outside the box. Where's Ryan?

[SonicBoom]

If we're not pressed we choose to move the ball so slowly. It means to create a chance we need to complete about 30 passes which we cant do. 

 

[tdmickey3]

Shit free kick 

[Saint NL]

Scienza has not been good today...

[Gloucester Saint]

Azaz in a good position there but ref didn’t play the advantage.

Can Leo work the keeper? No…

 

[tdmickey3]

FFS Leo 

[obelisk]

Leo through on goal. Keeper saves

No one has really

Waiting for inevitable 

[Saint NL]

Should have scored there, clean through

I'm assuming you mean near their goal rather than in a defensive position down our left hand side.

[Sheaf Saint]

He Armstronged it.

[Gloucester Saint]

Leo needed more power and lift in that but at least he got behind them in the first place.

[obelisk]

Nothing going right for Leo. We've all had games like that.

Cue Jaws music...

[tdmickey3]

Going to be 0 - 1 isn't it

No sign of Ekert making any effort to alter the way we play today, no real surprise there

Come on lads, season dying on its arse here…up the tempo. These played miles from home midweek to 4th in the league.

[benjii]

That was a good save by their lad.

[Hopper]

Need to see Edozie and Larin on for Leo and Drogba. Neither offering much at the moment.

That free kick was so easy to predict ….!

Yep. And it's going to be a really shit goal from a defensive blunder.

[Saint86]

Cycle larin debut winner anyone?

Scienza sadly very much off form lately, and limited squad depth their to offer competition.

[Crab Lungs]

Would genuinely like to see Edozie. 
 

never thought I’d say that.

[benjii]

I'd maybe try a 433. Let Charles sit and have Azaz and Massski in the other roles.

Get some control.

Or from a corner!

He sounds more like an over the counter antihistamine but if he cures the allergy to shots on goal today I’m up for a dose.

[BotleySaint]

Pretty even game so far. Could go either way!

[Chez]

That's close

[obelisk]

Another Watford corner. When are they going to score from one?

Soon

[SNSUN]

Come on lads, where's the intensity!

Still poor, nothing different this half so far. 

Watford so much better than us

What planet are you on?  Saints should be 2 or 3 up but for poor finishing.  It's a terrible game but your comment is utter nonsense

[Chez]

Edozie and Larin coming on

[obelisk]

Another Tonda HT talk seems to have done the business then.

The nick off it probably saved a goal at the expense of a corner.

[Sheaf Saint]

Why do we continue to just pack the 6-yard box at corners? It's fucking suicidal.

Personally I think Watford have largely been on top bar a couple of chances for us but there is a lack of real quality from both teams in attack today.

One powder puff shot and a free kick over the bar.

I know you are a clapping seal so I expected you to make stuff up

Yep, made it worse as always 

[obelisk]

Larin on for Stewart. Edozie for a poor Leo.

[Hopper]

Cmon the boys!

[SNSUN]

Sam and Cyle coming on! Come on lads!!!

Tactical cluelessness

[Gloucester Saint]

Antihistamine and Edozie on.

[Sheaf Saint]

Edozie and Larin to link up and score a winner.
