Saints vs Blackburn - Match Thread

[SNSUN]

If second place is still in our sights when we play Ipswich that will be one tasty game. Woof.

[Dr. Kucho]

Bishop you leg… sorry I can’t. Just don’t slip up you Skates. 

Spors go start preparing Tonda’s new contract quickly, he’s going to be in demand this summer along with Scienza etc.

[Southner]

If we don't win 9-0 we've missed a trick. 

[Swaythling Saint]

What a first half!

[Sheaf Saint]

No shots on or off target from Blackburn.

[Hawkswood]

General question...

 

How did it feel celebrating a pompey goal ?

[Saint NL]

Very good half.

The team look fresh, just need to keep focused and see this out without incident.

 

[obelisk]

2-0 at half time is good but no reflection at all on Saints superiority. Need to step it up second half and work on that goal difference. 

[bobby_charles]

I still can't get over Redmond is only 32. 

[Lee On Solent Saint]

About as controlled a first half performance I've seen for a long time. More goals in the second half if we want them.

[Saint Fan CaM]

Just think how much it’s hurting the fishy phew to know they’re helping us back up to the EPL. 🤣🤣🤣

I didn't, I celebrated Ipswich conceding.

I celebrated and then vomited.

Like wanting Leeds to win so it increases the odds of Spurs going down.

That's a decent IQ for a footballer to be fair

[SaintBobby]

Interesting dilemma now…kill the game and keep some energy in the tank or try and nibble away at Ipswich’s GD advantage? (Currently 7 ahead of us).

I'm sure they can come up with a song about that...

[saintant]

Very professional first half and well in control. Archer has done well especially the set up for Larin. Charles was exceptional for the second. Could do with more goals to close the gap on Ipswich because that could well be a factor the way things are panning out. Starting to think 2nd place could be on and pressure being heaped on Ipswich and the rest.

Gotta be the latter... We've got enough depth in the squad to cover fatigue

When was the last time Saints and Pompey both played at home at the same time? Must be a rarity. 

Even more rarely both sets of fans wanting the other to win…..

Along with the Harlem Globetrotters!

Tonda was caught smiling on the touch line. He’ll ruin his reputation doing that.

Ha... Yeah, spotted that 😁

[sfc4prem]

Do you remember when someone on here said they preferred Ipswich winning against Norwich in the Derby as they didn't want to face Ipswich in the playoffs? Thought that was a wild comment at the time. (Will) Still do.

[broken spoke]

she is clueless about football...   just upset i am watching it..

Redders said something to him

[Sheaf Saint]

Just watching the highlights. Watch Larin looking totally confused when the second goal goes in. If I could post GIFs it would be the classic John Travolta one from Pulp Fiction.

[Saint Fan CaM]

Scienza’s going to have an absolute blast in the second half (if he comes on).

[Willo of Whiteley]

Second is on 😉

[saintant]

8 points clear of Wrexham as things stand. Play-offs are taken care of. Now chase down 2nd - still a long shot but not as long as it was at 20.00 tonight.

[Scoobysaint]

We won’t get a better chance to go at a team. They are struggling with injuries, offering no threat and both CB are on yellows. Come on beys, fill yer boots.

Fellows as well. More concerned with his sock 😂

They’re out for themselves, as we are. I’m sure they have very similar outlook as us tonight, and fair play to them.

 

…Smelly c*nts!

Fellows needs to stop fannying about, beat a few, cut in and smash the ball into the top corner.

You mean the sneaky kick in the Achilles he took? 

[Sheaf Saint]

If someone had told me after we lost 4-0 at Boro in January that we would be above them with 4 games remaining, I'd have checked them into rehab. 

Absolute madness.

[SNSUN]

Get an early 3rd and we'll go for blood. Stats show Blackburn are offering nothing but they won't be as shit in the second half. Or will they....

[obelisk]

Wood on for Bree? Injury?

[UpweySaint]

Hopefully just a breather for Bree and not an injury…

[RedArmy]

3CB’s and Fellows RWB or one of the CB’s to RB? 

[Stripey McStripe Shirt]

Second half is going to be much tougher. 

[Saint NL]

Not a fan of that sub.

Hope Bree isn't injured

Nobody has really grasped the League with both hands really, even Coventry haven't been amazing, just consistent. We really fucked ourselves with the Still appointment but at least we got it right soon enough to reach the play-offs.

To be fair we have a stunning bench

Bree rested? Hope not injured. Can see Fellows in his RWB role.
