Swansea 1-2 Saints - Match Thread

[so22saint]

Should be 1-1 but for some poor finishing

[austsaint]

Larin and Charles time.

[Patrick Bateman]

Worst I've seen Stewart play sadly - just not falling for him. Definitely Larin for the 2nd half please.

No one has been good that half really but Stewart particularly bad 

[SouSaint]

HT. Really really poor performance. Players seemingly getting frustrated with one another. Leo and Stewart are both having stinkers. 

[Edmonton Saint]

Not LND’s finest 45 , let’s get Larin and Archer back up top for the second half 

[benjii]

Feels like if we get one we could get a few. 

Azaz looks a bit laboured and Downes is on a tightrope, so I'd bring Charles on soon, and probably Archer for Azaz, and move Masski-san central.

[Baird of the land]

So many bad touches or wrong choices being made in the final third.

[sockeye]

We can still turn it around, it's only half-time. Let's get Stewart out for Larin and kick on.

Other results going against us

Hopefully we can push on in the second half and win the game! COYR 😊

[LGTL]

Not great but an early goal second half completely changes the complexion of this game. Not over by any stretch. 

[Saint Fan CaM]

Need a goal urgently in the 2nd half - need Charles in for Jander. Stewart is not getting support from Azaz or Scienza and Matzuki.

[Saint NL]

Jo Tessum is right about Scienza, he needs to push up and go 1v1 against their right back. Might be a good game for Edozie 

[Obstacle1]

We're not playing great but its not like Swansea have been the better side, theyre pretty lucky to be ahead

We need an early goal in the second half, Probably over if we concede another though 

[Toadhall Saint]

We need to keep cool heads and play it through them. Game is far from over.

[tdmickey3]

Big half time time team talk for Tonda

[Saint Fan CaM]

If we play like this against City we’re in for a very humbling day.

[Maggie May]

Biggest 45 minutes of the season coming up. 

[RedArmy]

Big half time to Tonda. Needs to get this right. 

[tdmickey3]

Whilst losing today would not be the end of the world, it just must not be a start of a bad run.

Come on Saints

…and then a third went in before half time at Leicester, and we more than fixed it. I’m not going to underestimate our ability to sort this out. 

[Sheaf Saint]

Ok it's not been pretty, but we're staying patient and building pressure on them now.

Not sure bringing in Wood was a good idea TBH. He's been poor IMO. 

Scrappy goal to concede and we clearly have much more quality. Just not quite clicking for us so far.

Looked like it was a foul on LND and should have been a penalty but not clear enough for the ref to give it.

Found the time to watch Saints, well done. Is it a coincidence that we’re losing ?

[Saint Fan CaM]

Swansea will be gunning for Downes in the 2nd half. Tonda needs to manage that situation well.

Still being a prick then, well done

Makes sense tbf, Downes was walking a tightrope

[Saint NL]

Good spot, didn't notice him when the players were warming up

[saint michael]

Come on saints let’s have a big half

[Paul_B]

Bubble had to burst at some point

[Edmonton Saint]

Decision making in the final 3rd is so frustrating at times 

[Sheaf Saint]

Oooh. That could have gone anywhere.

[Saint NL]

Good start, unlucky

[Saint NL]

Big scramble, won't go in

[St. Ciervo]

Keep plugging. Franco getting hit in the face is a small win too. 

[benjii]

That's the worst handball appeal I've seen by Stewart.

Sums up his day so far

[Sheaf Saint]

Well that improved our shot count, if nothing else.

[RedArmy]

Need a goal in the next 10 minutes I feel. 
 

Get Larin on. 

[Mr X]

Somone needs to stand up and be counted have to take our chances! 

[Saint NL]

Fuck, that looked a penno

[benjii]

Calamity Wood.

[bpsaint]

That was a pen
