West Brom 1-1 Saints - Match Thread

[Saint Scott]

How has the ref not gone back and booked that

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Should have been a booking!

 

[JohnnyShearer2.0]

Ref bottling it. Clear foul and yellow card for WBA just now

Fellows has one of the worst shots (for an attacking player) that I can remember 

No confidence. Doesn't believe he can score and dreads receiving the ball in a scoring situation.

Shame he tried to play the advantage, then bottled the card

I officially hate these fucking Brum commentators.

Could be worse. You could be listening to Sky. 
 

I think it’s Aaron McLean doing co comms and he’s dreadful. 

[Saint86]

Had to go 4-4-2 here ffs.

[Saint Fan CaM]

Brum are such an anti-football side and the ref is happy to sink down to their level.

Seems it can be pronounced either way. Here is some Japanese commentary from when he was playing for Tokyo...

[SNSUN]

Starting to think Rom might be more suited to their physical approach. 

 

Jesus Azaz. Get him, Matsuki and Charles off please. 

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Has needed Edozie all half. Either Bragg or Jander for Charles too.

[Simo is back]

Can always rely on saints to not show up against a team languishing down at the bottom of the table 

[OttawaSaint]

Dreadful game this.

[Saint NL]

Azaz is where the ball goes to die

[benjii]

Archer to rescue it.

However you say his name he needs to be on the bench, he’s done fuck all this half. 

[adrian lord]

crikey this is bad nearly 2-0

[SNSUN]

Peretz keeping us in tbe game. Just.

[Harry_SFC]

Edozie on soon surely.

Sounds like he has a fat lad sat on his chest!

Should have been on at h/t

Yeah.... This game is crying out for a player with no end product...

[OttawaSaint]

Bragg and Edozie on for Downes and Matsuki.

That's the whole game

[Saint NL]

Azaz, Charles and Matsuki have all had stinkers.

Sugawara is playing up the English accent in that video for 'Matsuki'

It's Matsu-ki (matsu = pine, ki = tree), but the 'u' is almost silent

[Mr X]

Why are we not pumped for a key game of the season...... We look nowhere near playoff material

Should have been on when Leo went off. Fellows been invisible. Azaz awful, Matuski is a passenger. Charles awful. Only the back 5, Downes and for me, Cyle since he came on have been even half decent. 

 

Bragg and Edozie now coming on at last. But for Downes? I can understand Matuski but Downes has been ok

Ref made it this way tbh. Should have been multiple bookings first and second half for WBA, and they've basically battered scienza off the pitch with no protection being given to skillful players throughout.

[whelk]

Have this lot been on the piss since Sunday?

Pre agreed subs bar Leo

[SNSUN]

Bragg booked. 

[OttawaSaint]

Feels like the 63rd minute was half an hour ago. Game will probably run until tomorrow at this rate...

Laughable

I guess there's the card situation but still...

[John Boy Saint]

Inconsistent reffing there

[whelk]

Ref is so shit and runs like a ponce

[Lee On Solent Saint]

Bragg booked. 

For exactly the same as the WBA player didn't get booked for

[OttawaSaint]

For the post Fulham win pissup concert?

[OneMrsWallace]

Whatever plan Tonda has against a low block/limited space it doesn't work. This is where his lack of experience is shown up big time. If we're going to keep him on next season he needs a seasoned assistant alongside him. 

[Saint NL]

Stupid from Bragg

[Saint Scott]

Utter dross, second best all over the pitch 

[SNSUN]

I'm up at half 4 so I'm going to bed. I fully expect us to have turned this around when I check in the morning...

[Harry_SFC]

Losses away at Oxford, Blackburn and now probably West Brom. Just not good enough.

[Mr X]

Not even a point from this would be disgraceful! we don't look like scoring tonight there's just nothing there

We brought someone with so called experience from Colchester wasn't  it ?🤣

[hypochondriac]

I'll be honest I had reservations about this game. We never get up for ones like this .

[Edmonton Saint]

Larins touch is shocking 

[Saint NL]

Coventry winning, Boro losing, surely the title has been decided
