Saints vs West Ham - Match Thread

[Saint86]

Really poor from Eckert and the team tonight. Should have put them to the sword first half, basically a reserve side. Didn't put enough on the pitch, were complacent, didn't put them to the sword. And then stephens and Peretz have just gifted it to them... "It's an u21 side right? We'll pull it back..." Poor complacent attitude.

 

Sloppy. Win the game, then make subs.

No one other than Larin and Azaz are playing at last season’s levels

[saint michael]

So what does Tonda do now. No defenders who can make a difference

Glad they’ve taken Backwards Bragg off.

[Lard]

Stephens can fuck off…and take Dobbin with him.

Stepehns is so shit and this is a spineless, pathetic performance.  Sobbing is yet another waste of money and there is no desire or fight.

That is probably one of the best predictive text errors ever - and Dobbin does want you make you sob.

£9m - no touch, no awareness, no pace. And the coaching staff still think Jack Stephens is a Champ CB.

Should’ve gone to Specsavers.

I would still put Quarshie on for Shoehorn

I’d take off Stephens for a start and put on anyone in the bench. They’d make a better stab at being a credible CB.

When are we allowed to 'melt-down'? I need to mark it in my diary.

Yep. Really disappointed in Bree and Scienza for example. 
 

(Yes i know he scored tonight)

Wood is actually playing well I think he is our best CB when THB goes

What a condemnation.

 

 

 

[Saint86]

This is really poor from us tonight. Walked straight into this.

Looks like it. Same spelling and grammatical errors.

[captainchris]

Dobin running away from the ball! He is bloody crap! 

[stknowle]

All over us now.

October 11th. 

[coalman]

It's like the games under Still. Anonymous in midfield. No intensity. Just going through the motions.

[sockeye]

That was the most Edozie move that ever Edozied.

[Sir Ralph]

No midfield control. WH looking like a PL team we look like the mid table championship team we are

The £9m spent on Dobbin should have gone on a CB to replace Stephens. 

[Toussaint]

I hope Spors and Dragan are taking note.

Walked being the operative word. 

[Polaroid Saint]

I don't think I have ever left early.

No matter how bad my team are playing, how terrible or predictable the movie is or how honkingly awful the band are...

...but I am at home on the sofa, so I can just turn this off, right? Right?

How many notes do they need?

Cat has gone for a dump so clearing that up will be more interesting.

Stephens will be better Saturday 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

He will improve to utter shit from absolutely shit

[whelk]

Watford 4-0 down at home just to fuck up my bet

[SfcPhil]

We need two CB's once THB leaves. No ifs or buts about it.

West ham will get a third

Reminds me more of the interim period where we lost a few (before the run started). Basically Tonda walking into avoidable error after avoidable error and showing his greenness. Frustrating as totally avoidable tonight. We should have put their essentially u21 / reserve side to the sword first half. So complacent, no intensity, and now all of a sudden we're losing to a shit rotated side that bring in 4 of the best players (for their positions) in the league. Walked right into it. Schoolboys stuff.

At least 

[RedArmy]

It really is like watching a RM team. Slow, sideways and backwards. Get into good positions on the wing and then bottle it and send the ball backwards to start again. 
 

We used to put the fear into teams and run at them for days last season. 

[Nieldy]

Pity David Brooks is cup tied for this game.

[Sir Ralph]

At least Azaz to hopefully get some control

[Baird of the land]

Midfield completely MIA. Clowns running the transfer business.

[Saint Fan CaM]

We’re in defend at all costs mode now. Just very poor value.

Out of your seats to leave early.

Damn autocorrect changed "excrement" to "excitement".

[Lee On Solent Saint]

Play like this on Saturday and Millwall will win easily

FFS... Have you not seen the memo...? Quoting the owner of our football club is highly frowned upon!

He’s not wrong, if I was there tonight I’d get out of my seat and go home. 

[badgerx16]

It's as if Tonda can't give a fuck because he is waiting to get banned by the FA.

[Colinjb]

Russell Martin losing.*

 

*57% possession, so winning where it counts. 

[hypochondriac]

Ripping us apart at the moment which isn't a huge surprise with the prem players on.

[whelk]

Some comfort is the club should see we need some new players

[LGTL]

Have the club forgotten the transfer window is open or do we always just have to wait until the last few fucking days? Drives me potty 

[coalman]

Stephens ponderously gives it away (again)

Oh.
