Boro 0-0 Saints - Match Thread

[SNSUN]

Not a good start but we still have plenty of time to grow. 

Time to grow like a beautiful, evergreen bush.

[Saint_clark]

Can we discuss PLAYER OF THE SEASON HAYDEN HACKNEY some more please.

We’re sitting deep, there’s nobody to lay the ball off to if you can’t hold the ball up and allow them to get up the pitch. 

Exactly. I think Stewart is better at holding the ball up and then bringing others into play.

[saintant]

Everything far too easy for Boro. We are neither marking nor pressing and picking up no second ball. Need to start playing.

[adrian lord]

Our tactics are designed to frustrate them. Slow down the game. 2 leg endurance test.

[obelisk]

Saints riding their luck a bit here.

[AlexLaw76]

we are going to lose this game, this cannot continue

[Mr X]

Don't get why we didn't start with some intensity I get that it's a  90 minute game but jesus we look lethargic!

It’s going to be all play offs now.

We’re dirty cheats. The media have already sentenced us.

[Suhari]

Worst we've looked in ages.

When it's played into feet and there are players around him yes. But that's not what we're doing. Larin is better when it comes to using his physicality to disrupt defenders and win it in the air. 

[Saint NL]

Boro will run out of steam any minute now, then we can start to play

I think Ross Stewart is better in the air. Larin is the better finisher.

You mean the chap playing absolutely no part in this game 🤔

[Micky]

Nothing in midfield and nothing up front, hoofing it to Larin is getting us nowhere. 

[Lee On Solent Saint]

Fuck sake Wood, yiou aren't fuckin Le Tiss

[obelisk]

Saints looking a yard slower than Boro at the moment.

The energy of the crowd has already died down.

Jesus, wood going walkabout

We haven’t really done anything for them to talk about yet to be fair. 

[James]

I have had to mute the TV, commentary is unbearable. 

[saintant]

Losing every battle and being totally dominated. 

[Sheaf Saint]

Please don't do that again Wood! 😬

[Miltonaggro]

Wood weak link again. Bit of a dimwit positionally.

We've been poor nothing else you can say!

Yes, but the thing about PLAYER OF THE SEASON HAYDEN HACKNEY is that you can feel his influence on the pitch even when he isn't on it. 

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Having to soak up a fair bit of pressure, which the home support are right behind. It's giving them all the momentum. 

We're sticking to a plan, but we're better than having to do this.

[Miltonaggro]

Going to be so sweet when Larin scores on the counter in a bit.

[saintant]

Fellows is having a mare.

[AlexLaw76]

They are miles better than than us, so far

[Mr X]

Risky tactics if we've been told to just weather the storm! Haven't showed anything 

[Edmonton Saint]

Wood a liability so far

Disagree, we’ve been off it for a few weeks now. Poor for large parts of the Bristol game and were the worse team at home to Ipswich.

[saintant]

Just now, AlexLaw76 said:

No doubt about that.

[obelisk]

If Saints get to half time without conceding that'll be a huge bonus. Just not in this game at all at the moment.

[Miltonaggro]

Fellows lightweight and needs to stop the defensive midfield cameos. 

[Saint86]

Boro clearly won the mind games this week. We look well off it.

Wood is an absolute liability like this. Fellows poor as well, Larin wilting up front.

pretty crap at Preston.

As said in the build up, we peaked a few weeks back and it is showing

[so22saint]

Ref and commentators definitely want a Boro win here. We are clearly trying to take a low score back to St Marys and looking slow

All said and done he's been a really poor signing so far. Matsuki miles clear.

[Saint NL]

Bragg being sent out for extra warm-ups 

[Gloucester Saint]

Not got going at all.

[Ed Rooney]

Fellows is proper dog shit 

[Saint_clark]

Bless them booing the fans singing OWTS like they're the Pompey of the north.

[Big M]

Bloody awful, wood, Manning, fellows get a grip. What's with Larin falling over constantly. 🙄🙄

[saintant]

We need to move 20 yards up the pitch or it's going to be all long ball.

[Mr X]

No excuses to not turn up for the playoffs!
