Get Bragg off. Anonymous in midfield.

He's not been great today. Started very poorly but raised him game a bit as its gone on. Overall hasn't added anything special though. Suspect he needs a bit of care and rotating in and out of the side. Its his first season starting regularly and need to be careful with him.

[Sheaf Saint]

Good subs.

[Saint NL]

Bragg and Fellows off, no real suprises

[OneMrsWallace]

We've been very average so far. Not aggressive enough all around the pitch. Plenty of time to win it though.

WTF Peretz

 

Just now, Jack said:

He’s been really ropey tonight 

I can sense Ping-pong logging on as we speak...

[SNSUN]

Downes plays more as a 3rd CB when we build from the back. 

[Saint86]

Ref has been weak on a number occasions with blatant fouls on our players just being waved away.

[Toussaint]

I didn’t see the first half but this is poor.

He's sat on the bench for Bolton.

You’re kidding? He’s been excellent 

Not kidding at all he got caught for the goal and has been vey slow in possession

One of those games where you'd say a scrappy draw is probably a fair result but you wouldn't want to lose it. If we have aspirations of automatic promotion we need to win scrappy games like this. 

[Hawkswood]

Few players not at their best tonight, you get away games like this. Need to tough this out to get something out of it.

[Saint Matty 76]

Surprised Larin survived that round of subs, really poor so far!

[AlexLaw76]

Larin and Scienza have been marked out of the game pretty well in general

Second part of first half was much better than this. Brum were always going to have momentum after they scored and we were never keeping a clean sheet. Only way that was happening was Peretz and the back 4 wiping their cocks on the hotel curtains. 

[Osvaldorama]

Their right back has been very good against Leo. Very strong and quick player. Fair play 

[Saint NL]

Scienza not been on it today, normally around this time he gets subbed for Edozie, but....

[Saint Fan CaM]

Scienza having a tough game against a very good RB.

[Disco Stu]

We're not handling their press well at all. Can't keep the ball for more than a few seconds.

RB on a yellow though. 

[saint michael]

This is why we need a mk 2 Larin

Decent centre back pairing for Brum. Need something special to break them down. 

[trousers]

Ballard scores again for Bristol City 

[Saint NL]

Is there anything Schlotterbeck can't do?

[trousers]

Larin misses another great chance!

[CSA96]

Larin again, has to do better

[SNSUN]

Decent shot JWP, Larin could have done better

[Saint Fan CaM]

Larin fucks up an easy shot again.

[Saint NL]

AHH Larin..... He's just not going to score today is he

[trousers]

Larin off, Mubama on

[benjii]

Larin and Azaz a bit off it today. 

[OttawaSaint]

Ohhh Cyle. Get yer boots on the right feet lad!

Dajan Lovren vibes 

[Mr X]

Nervous times simply should have scored there! 

[CB Fry]

Fellows is off because he needs a fair wind to get up to Goodison before the 11 o'clock window closes.

Tough chance that looping at him with a player in the way too, harder than it looked. First one was the big miss

[sockeye]

Time for Mubama to start building some credit in the bank

[Saint Fan CaM]

And Larin off for Mubama

Birmingham defender pulls Mubama's shirt in the box... No foul...

Gender switch - didn’t have that on my bingo card.

[SNSUN]

Gray coming on for them. Danger man.

Luckily he’s only 90 minutes away so should be there for deal sheet time

Yeah, on replay that is fair actually

[LGTL]

Both Larin chances had someone slightly in the way, unfortunately. Should have done better though with both.

Usually scores against us! 🙏🙏

Yeah, really frustrating. You can tell from the way he was shaping he wanted to hit that in the direction of where the Saints player was. 

[Saint NL]

Wonder what VAR would make of that 

[saint michael]

Good to see another great ref performance 

[SNSUN]

Not a comfortable watch this. I fear we may need a second...

[Disco Stu]

Second half performance has been nothing short of awful so far.
