Would swap Matzuki or Charles for Azaz. 

 

Azaz will prove me wrong soon.

Manning not as good today…Wellington on for him.

[Zorba]

Azaz to blame for the goal. Careless. Scienza needs to up his end product. Flynn having a good game. We will turn this around second half.

[obelisk]

65% possession. Far too much.

[Mr X]

I think we need something different I know he hasn't been great lately but edozie offers that pace and trickery 

[SNSUN]

Still plenty of the game to go. I'm not watching the game but it sounds like that was our worst half in a while. Remaining positive.

[Saint Fan CaM]

Matzuki for a very lacklustre Fellows.

[madge]

So many crosses going in but it’s missing Stewart and nobody else coming round the back.. goals are there but need to get more players in the box. Stewart being marked by 2. Fellows really poor. But get an early one and think we’ll be ok. 

[Toussaint]

I don’t think we are that bad, just squandering loads of chances. Fellows and Scienza need to start beating their full backs and cause a bit of chaos. 

[die Mannyschaft]

Russell Martin coaching today he's back today to get manager of the week award.  We just can't shoot first time. Over passing. Slow as a double decker bus

[Saint NL]

I think if we can score in the first 20 mins of the second half, we'll go on to win. But not sure where that goal will come from, need a bit of luck today. Maybe a penalty or something.

Just cant shoot first time 

[Lee On Solent Saint]

As predicted, Derby very physical, seemed to have been knocked out of out stride as a result.  Larin on for Stewart for me, he's not put any physical pressure on their centre backs at all.

Would take a point from here, wouldn’t be the worst result in the world. 

[bpsaint]

Fuck it’s cold at St Mary’s.

Let’s see what Tonda can do when we’re up against a bit of adversity. A reminder amongst all the talk of making 2nd or storming the playoffs that things aren’t always going to go our way.

[die Mannyschaft]

Scienza looks injured.

Matsuki from a loose ball amongst a load of bodies

[Turkish]

How often do you see a great performance or two followed by a terrible one. 

[obelisk]

Given the way this is going I'd probably be ok with a draw today just as long it's 3 points on Tuesday.

He’s not having his best game, a few loose lay offs too. 

[JohnnyShearer2.0]

A lot of the players seem a bit off today. Think Stewart got hurt in the face missed it at the game but could see when he came over it looked swollen.

Do you really think it’s terrible? I bit flat, I wouldn’t call it terrible, 

[Holmes_and_Watson]

We've had chances, in what I thought was going to be a tough day. We've just missed the ball or scuffed them. Leo had an effort that went right at the keeper, with better options waiting in the middle.

Derby got their goal from an overnight pass giving them a corner, then someone going missing at the back post.

We've had things our own way for a while. So need to find a way of breaking a team down to get back into it.

We've certainly got the quality, but it's been a bit tired looking today.

Hopefully your "not going to lose again this season" prediction still holds true.

Spark isn’t there at the moment and no invention from the crossing into the box when camped in their final third. 
 

Hoping Azaz makes up for his mistake.

Yeah but we’re ok ‘cos we’ll never lose another game right? 

[Crab Lungs]

FYI, Bazunu let in another unstoppable shot.

 

Derby will foul themselves through the rest of the game because they’re shithouses

[obelisk]

If there was any complacency then that half should have knocked it out of them.

[Sheaf Saint]

Fellows very disappointing would swap him for Matsuki.

[SNSUN]

All kicking off on the touchline

[Sidney Fudpucker the 3rd]

This was always going to be a tough fixture. After the last 2 results I had a bad feeling about today. 

That said, I had a bad feeling about Wxm. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I’m not watching it just going by what this place is saying 

[Saint Fan CaM]

Azaz seems intent on passing to a Derby player at every opportunity.

[goodymatt]

Good at wasting time Derby, leaving the ball at their own corner for their keeper to claim for a goal kick etc. they will run this clock down at every opportunity. 

I’d be making changes soon.

That’s like relying on Twitter/X for accurate world news and current affairs.

The writing was on ghe wall when there goalie went down with cramp in the first half hour 

[Saint NL]

Turned into a rugby match

[stknowle]

Terrible reffing wtf not play advantage?

[Crab Lungs]

God I can’t stand Derby.

[obelisk]

Derby very physical. 

[obelisk]

Finishing from Saints is pretty poor today. Pressure?

[Saint NL]

We haven't hit a clean shot all day

Edited April 11 by Saint NL

[goodymatt]

Absolute shithouses aren’t they

[Hoggins]

Larin is quite a bit better than Stewart

[Holmes_and_Watson]

 Nice build up. But we're really putting too much pressure on ourselves when shooting. Bree scuffed that one, and there's been a few.

Azaz really involved. But little working for him today.

[Edmonton Saint]

Omg Fellows. Zero composure

Just Derby County doing Derby County things.

[Saint NL]

Fellows heading is as bad as his shooting

[Viking Saint]

Shocking from Fellows
