Has the stream ended? Do the Aussies realise that we have extra time?

Stan Stream is still on IPTV.

Disagree.

Indeed. Mavadidi, Ayew, Skipp, Winks, Daka... they are all experienced players that should be able to beat a team of kids.

Ok

Their subs are way stronger than ours and they should go on and win this now. Won't be the end of the world.

So who are the five we'll have take penalties if we get there? Azaz, jelert, Manning maybe otherwise it's kids or cbs

If it was Archer, he'd probably hit the crossbar and it'd go in the goal at the other end of the pitch, and some ancient rule would gift Leicester the goal

[Sunnyside Saint]

Think Bragg has been excellent.

[Hopper]

Looks like Mavididi has been given license to roam. Might cause us some issues.

[Saint NL]

Ok we're back, missed the first 2 mins of extra time, thanks weird channel

[obelisk]

Stream gone. 

[Hopper]

Good defending that from Jelert.

[Saint NL]

Leicester well on top at the moment

[tdmickey3]

Hanging on for penalties 

[Saint86]

Think this only ends one way. Eckert basically sent them out to lose - very winnable game so will be poor if we do imo. Also generally, club's made a big song and dance about the 50year anniversary of the cup win, released an extortionate limited edition shirt, and then essentially made no effort to get past the 4th round

No surprise given the kids we have against their experience. If they don't win this their fans will be in melt down.

He certainly didn't send out a team or bench to win the game. 

[coalman]

Can we at least bring Peretz on if it goes to penalties?

Should have had some more experience on bench

Does he strike a good ball then?

Even if they go through they can hardly cheer about struggling to beat our complete second string, kids and Cameron Archer. 

[obelisk]

If Saints manage to win this Tonda's going to throw a real old wobbly.

[Saint Fan CaM]

No one taking any responsibility. It’s turned to hit and hope. Don’t blame the kids - we lose it’s on Eckhert.

Yes, I think our bench is the clue, if needed, that he doesn't care about this match.

[Saint86]

Yeah, we may still fluke it because this Leicester side really are that bad, but honestly, really poor from Eckert imo. Fans don't often forgive chucking in the cups - and this will be one of the worst examples in recent memory.

[tdmickey3]

Doesn't look like either team want to win

[Saint NL]

Can we fast forward straight to penalties? This is boring....

[SNSUN]

Watching the kids in the 5th round against Man City would be interesting...

It's a brutal fuck you.

[Sheaf Saint]

How on Earth was that a booking for Manning???

[Saint NL]

Jelert injured, off and Bree on

[tdmickey3]

Bree to win it with a worldly??

[saintant]

If we're going out hope it's in extra time rather than pens.

[Saint Fan CaM]

Bree on as extra sub.

[saintant]

Just now, tdmickey3 said:

He's capable.

[Saint NL]

Same old story, without a big man upfront the ball doesn't stick...

[Saint NL]

Now Quarshie is injured, no more subs allowed...

[Saint86]

Ankle ligaments? This game is yet another pitfall that Eckert has walked into eyes wide open. So tedious. This should have been won and put to bed ages ago, Leicester are terrible.

Edited yesterday at 17:16 by Saint86

[Saint Fan CaM]

Quarshie sprained an ankle - looks bad and no subs. FFS.

Edit: he’s OK

Edited yesterday at 17:16 by Saint Fan CaM

[tdmickey3]

Looks painful for Quarshie

[obelisk]

Quarshie down and out by the look of it.

[Hopper]

League results were mostly favourable today. 2 pts off the playoffs with Bristol and Wrexham Tuesday. A draw there would be wonderful.

I've never seen Tonda laughing this much.

[Saint NL]

Well that was dull.....

Well he's clearly gonna get the result he wants 🙂

Extra time usually is. Better going straight to pens.

Yep disrespectful to the competition 

[Disco Stu]

As expected, we've surrendered all control. Should have had more experience to come on from the bench.

[Nottssaint1]

Any streams working?

Ekert = clueless 

[SNSUN]

So 10 men? And a team of kids.

If we win this it will be a miracle.

Come on Saints!
