West Brom 1-1 Saints - Match Thread

[adrian lord]

Proverbial bad day at the office 

[Mr X]

Jesus this is bad seems like we resigned ourselves to losing as soon as they scored! 

[OttawaSaint]

Fuck we've been utterly dreadful tonight.

[Harry_SFC]

They've wanted this a lot more than us. We've been second best all night.

How on earth are Coventry,  Boro and Hull far superior than Saints winning far more games. We cant play like this next season there needs to be consistent,  fit quality players and less boring possession.  

Both manager appointments were wrong

[Saint NL]

Yeah, well the Championship is more exciting than the Premier League anyway 🤔

This is entirely on Tonda's tactical naivity tonight. At some point he'll change it up.... Problem is, he took stewart off, which was a huge fuck up when chasing the game and creating sod all.

Edit... finally we go two strikers... sadly one of them is Archer 😄. Maybe the objective is not stay down this season?

Have we done one decent thing all game. I don't think we have.

[RedArmy]

This game feels like it’s been on for about 3 hours. How is there still 10 minutes left 

[danjosaint]

How can pro players not pass the ball quickly and accurately into feet, we are so bad at it, half the time the ball barely makes it there

[Saint NL]

A point would feel like a huge win at this point 

[sockeye]

The ghost of Will Still will be haunting us at the end of the season  

 

[trousers]

Archer bringing on some instructions...

"Try shooting at that rectangle object with the net at the end of the pitch... Oh, and make it look like you all give a shit for the last 10 minutes"

And who or what is to blame for that? 

[Saint Scott]

Archers first two touches as expected 

[OttawaSaint]

Archer...the ball just bounces off him.

[Saint NL]

Bree for Archer.

That's brave at least 

[Sheaf Saint]

Might as well give Archer a try as he only scores against teams from the Midlands.

[benali-shorts]

Good touch Archer

Makes it even worse with the wurzel WBA co-commentator

Scienza's cross to Stewart in the first half was the only bit of quality from us so far. Shame the header was so poor.

[Big M]

First touch is dreadful, if you can't trap a ball you shouldn't be playing professional football,so typical of saints this, win the game against a poor WBA team to get within 1 point of Wrexham and bottle it, this is on the manager, should've played 2 up top, absolutely farcical. 

[Saint86]

What the actual fuck was that.

[LGTL]

This has been beyond appalling

I know. Sick of him.

[benali-shorts]

lovely delivery Ryan

[Sheaf Saint]

That free kick sums up our night.

[Roo1976]

fuck me were good at passing sideways and back as per .....very shallow performance.

 

[Harry_SFC]

Terrible night. Piss poor display and Scienza probably out for a month at least. 

[Saint86]

WBA looking far the better side here.

They have all night 

[OttawaSaint]

Hey Pompey, we lost on purpose to WBA to get you relegated!

[Saint NL]

The ref could have blown for full time as soon as West Brom scored and saved us all a lot of bother

[adrian lord]

listening to this anyone would think they were about to win the Cup

Season over really mid table mediocrity for us 

[OttawaSaint]

Like watching Brazil in the 70s!

[Saint86]

Tonda needs to learn from this. Propaganda football all night long - WBA couldn't have dreamed we'd set up this badly and refuse to change for 85min. Joke. And a golden chance at the playoffs thrown away. This level of performance cannot happen again.

[LGTL]

They haven’t won since December in fairness. That’s how appalling this result is. 

[JohnnyShearer2.0]

Anyone who says Tonda is doing a great can do one.

Lost to Oxford, Norwich and now  draw with WBA who have all been bang out of form before playing Saints.

It's almost as if there's actually no real desire to make the play-offs. These performances have cropped up far too frequently this season.

[Patches O Houlihan]

Peretz has had a good game

[trousers]

6 minutes added... What's the point...?

[adrian lord]

Peretz the only person to come out of the game with any credit

Coventry are bang in form so that means we'll win, yeah?

[Sheaf Saint]

The number of times I've seen us try and fail to hold on to a 1-0 lead against a team who've been dreadful, by conceding a late equaliser having wasted numerous chances to increase our lead.

Why can't we ever be on the other end of that?

[trousers]

BOOOOOOMMMM
