Colchester vs Saints - Match Thread

[Saint NL]

Peretz is so good

[Cuddles]

We're looking a bit, er, rusty at the back 👀

[Whitey Grandad]

Defence is a mess.

[Lee On Solent Saint]

Has fuckin BBD even touched the ball yet?

[Saint Fan CaM]

Oh dear. We’re making them look like a Championship team! 🤣

[Mr X]

Colchester quarter of the possession and all the better chances

Peretz is sharp as fuck.

Lucky he is innit. 

 

Because no one else is

[RedArmy]

Matski in midfield is not working. They’re walking through us. 

[Greedyfly]

I'm sorry why do we only have 1 holding midfielder

All the great strikers know how to save themselves for the key moments. Take Haaland for instance.

[OttawaSaint]

We look awful. 

Do they think this is a friendly?

[captainchris]

Our lack of pre season games and standard of opposition really showing here.

He’s not the only one not impacting the game. 

[Saint NL]

Well my enthusiasm for the new season lasted all of 20 minutes 🤣

For all our possession, Colchester get the first shot on goal.

And second, third, fourth.........

Whereas we are toothless up front.

[Sir Ralph]

Diaz is absolutely terrible. Get him off

Too bad Brooks is cup tied...

[coalman]

BBD had a touch there. And what a touch!

[Gloucester Saint]

Touch of a sex offender by BBD there.

[Saint86]

BBD trying his hardest to look like a non league football this half.

[Cuddles]

Leo's looking useful

I imagine the thought was that against lower league opposition we’d have more license in centre mid.

I always see that 2 holding CMs is a must to get the best out of what can become a front 4 when attacking.

Perhaps not, but he looks like he can't be arsed to do anything

Have I missed something? The answer is probably...

[Saint86]

Playing 4-2-3-0 at the moment.

BBD being compared to Harland, even this early in the season that could be the quote of the season. 🤣🤣🤣

[obelisk]

Apparently BBD did well last season while out on loan. I'm waiting for evidence that he's brought it back with him.

[Saint NL]

With our strike options of BBD and Dobbin, you could say we have Dobbin and Bobbins

BBD is awful wherever and however he plays, sign of desperation from some people that they're trying to talk him up. 

Looks like we're actually considering using him this season. Fuck me.

Absolutely this. 

 

I thought Jander was mostly ok.

 

I thought Charles was still our player. 

 

Bragg?

Harland and Wolf.

Their lay offs were much better too.

I often mention them in the same breath. Haaland is everything you want in a striker - big, pacy with an eye for goal, meanwhile we've got BBD>

[The Kraken]

BBD scored 6 goals in the Premier League in just under half a season.

Lord knows how.

An old joke from a few seasons back!

I’m just hoping, forlornly, that he comes good. Dobbin equally anonymous so far.

Shame he’s pinging balls into a competition winner. 

[East Kent Saint]

According to the match stats Saints are crap

Ah thank you 👍🏻

Just wait until he finds out about Skacel...

[Saint Fan CaM]

Is Bragg on the bench?

We don't need stats to tell us that.

I admire your optimism

But he's never ever won an EPL game.

Just send him into the New Forest or something, he's bad juju.

I'd actually forgotten he's playing!

[Mr X]

We might have a shot on target soon 

[Suhari]

Good early season test this: sitting deep, organised a d pressing well.

 

[obelisk]

At least Leo's giving it a go.

BBD on a football pitch is like watching an elephant try and do a puzzle. 

You say that, but I reckon this elephant can play football better…

Albeit with a honey badger not a ball…

 

[OttawaSaint]

Scienza industrious but final ball is poor.
