Would say they are worse than Lincoln...but least we got a draw from that.

Yeah, mad game. Easily one of the worst teams we’ve played all season and we’ve somehow lost. Crazy 

[sfc4prem]

Oh dear. I feel we've looked complacent today.

Too early to say that. Every team has set backs.

Saints heads have gone

[LGTL]

13th after 8 games. Simply not good enough. 

[RedArmy]

What is the fucking point in making this change now. Cunt 

[Obstacle1]

If mubama was trusted as our second striker he would have been on at 45 or 60 as Larin had a stinker. So is he not good enough? Awful game management all round

We'd have started the game joint top apart from the defuction. Today is annoying but let's not over react.

Classic knee-jerk out of emotion, leave him to it.

[SaintNate]

Really awful game from Azaz, maybe his worst game since start of last season. Absolutely useless.

As for Edozie, how that twat is anywhere near the first team is beyond me. 

Awful frustrating game. Wrexham were fucking shite and didn't deserve fuck all, there for the taking. 

Ponderous, slow and uninspired. Lazy. 

[Saint86]

We really struggle against the big physical sides that don't even try and play football... Especially when they are allowed to just kick us off the pitch as well. Can beat the likes of swansea, city, millwall etc... but some shit cave man style side with kierfer moore up front is enough to see us off. Time after time.

Doesn't help that our defensive shape seems to default to 5 across the back as a flat 5, which is what we've done late on in this game and again let the game go. Just invites sides onto us (like vs lincoln).

Fellows and edoize are completely backwards steps at this level…. 
bree has been pretty poor today. 

[NewYorkSaint]

Ah, football.   You're a cruel roller of the dice some days....

Tend to agree. So poor away from home and just can't keep a clean sheet to save our lives. 

[Saint NL]

Bree for Dobbin?

Fellows at right back? Weird

It really isn't too early. Look at them. They're gasping for breathe. Unfit, too slow.

[ant]

Concerning lack of attacking discipline this second half. Endlessly pumping it into the box in a manner Wrexham could easily defend. 

Not enough ideas going forward, and more gifts than Make A Wish at the back.

Grim.

[Winnersaint]

Unbelievable overreaction here.

[JohnnyShearer2.0]

Sigh. One of those days. Self inflicted.

[Miltonaggro]

We are going to regret not buying an experienced centre forward to replace Stewart. Larin has given all but looks knackered.

We'll be fine for the play-offs but the squad is weak. We need to keep the first team fit until January and strengthen.

We have not been good over 80+ mins yet and we let in easy goals

To suggest we will rock up at Wrexham and easily dispatch them is laughable.

draw at best

Yeah but we didn’t. The -4 has happened so it’s imperative we beat teams like fucking Lincoln and Wrexham. 

[Osvaldorama]

Thing is, if one of the early chances had gone in, this could have been so different. Just a really weird game and performance. 
 

I don’t think there’s any need to panic. Play this 10 times we probably win it 8 or  9

[Jimmy_D]

And there’s the flip side of no VAR.

[coalman]

Even when we were on top we looked sloppy and complacent. 

[Disco Stu]

This is an unacceptable result. From what we've seen, Wrexham look like a bottom half team. Our poor away form and inability to keep clean sheets will be the reason we don't challenge top 2. Looks like the second best bench in the league couldn't change the game for us 🙄

Racking up the yellows now, heads have truly gone

Yep, another disaster class from the brains at Sport Republic HQ.

[sockeye]

Larin was on the pitch for far too long in this game

[BallBoy]

Just not strong enough. I think those 4 points could really hurt us.

[Saint Scott]

3 points dropped. Wrexham were fucking useless and we squandered countless chances 

[sfc4prem]

Told you so. Really? Well done on being right though, very accurate.

[Mr X]

Joke of a result.... These things happen I guess

The -4 factors into how we might do this season, but there’s absolutely no point in factoring it into judging how we’ve done so far this season.

[saintant]

Bad day at the office. Shit happens. Won't be our last defeat.

[Saint NL]

Larin and Matsuki both had one eye on the internationals, well below their normal levels. 

Disappointing game, should have won that convincingly

We're not going up automatically. But play offs are huge and we will be in them. Just where is the question.

Exactly this. Not sure how some can't see this.

[StrangelyBrown]

Meh, sounds like we should have won. 

We'll have some off days.

Hopefully the international break gives us chance to sort a few things out.

[DT]

Cack

[Lee On Solent Saint]

Pretty shite. Bad enough losing, but losing to a team that's just interested in kicking the opposition all over the park is frustrating. Should have been out of sight by half time. As usual nothing from the ref who allows the constant fouling and off the ball kicks and elbows. We are hundred times better than this shit team but somehow we allow always end up sinking to their levels instead of rising above it and playing the football we are capable of.

[tdmickey3]

Sloppy finishing, lack luster and poor passing...

Our away form is hideous

I doubt that's true.

[GDog07]

If we took our chances, we would have won.

It’s an off day, calm down.

Well pick up three points at home to Portsmouth and we’ll be back up there - it’s a mighty long season!

[obelisk]

Can't believe the complacency at taking a massive 2 points from 12 available away from home.

[Paul.Studio]

Looked more like a Russell Martin side - plenty of possession with no end product. Still poor defensively!

[Tauro]

Missing the firepower up top to slot in when Larin isn't on it, like today. Also think we are missing a bit if dynamism in midfield which is what Charles brought off the bench. 

 

Move on, learn from it and sort it out for Pompey.
