Norwich 0-1 Saints - Match Thread

[SNSUN]

Nasty ankle twist on that replay. Hope he's ok long term. 

 

[Saint_clark]

One that probably should have been rested after his effort at the weekend. Shame.

[LGTL]

That’s not looking good for Downes, went over on his ankle so it’s a twist instead of a knock. 

[Saint Fan CaM]

Downes went over on his ankle. That’ll bruise up nicely.

[Britannia]

70mins for Casper then. Hope that isn’t too much too soon.

Bloodbath!!!

[obelisk]

Saints look more productive playing long balls against this lot.

[Sheaf Saint]

Bad news for Flynn, but having Jander on the bench to replace him is like having a cheat code.

I don’t think awkwardly twisting your ankle as you land is anything to do with the rest period from the previous game.

[adrian lord]

QPR in command over strugglers Derby. 

[Saint Fan CaM]

Dirty fuckers this lot and Ref not dealing with it.

[LGTL]

Abbot looks pretty awful at RB

[Disco Stu]

That was an excellent delivery from Manning.

[Thereisonlyonemickychannon]

Jesus. I could have got that one target!

Probably rather rusty

[SNSUN]

Bit disjointed in attack to be expected with the changes. Seen little from Edozie so far. Azaz is trying but needs help. Dobbin at least looks a willing runner.

Just hope he hasn't been on the ale.

[RedArmy]

Not seeing anything yet from Dobbin to justify that £9m fee. 

[Wade Garrett]

Going to have to bring the A team on at half-time.  Abbott is out of his depth and Edozie is shite.

[SNSUN]

Abbott booked. Both full backs now. 

[whelk]

Fuck off ref 

[obelisk]

Now Abbott lets his man stroll past him and gets a booking for the pull back.

[Saint_clark]

Can really see today where we miss THB going forward, balls over the top from Stephen's and Schlott are nowhere near as good.

[Jack]

Abbott struggling here. Such a soft yellow though. Manning on one the other side too which isn’t good

That one at least was a clear yellow.

Not the best start by him so far.

[Saint Scott]

Sooo, Abbott is dog shit then

[Saint_clark]

Abbott is a CB isn't he? Don't know why we are surprised he looks awkward at RB.

No lessons learnt from Sunday 

[Saint Fan CaM]

Abbott being ripped a new one by their winger. Gets a yellow FFS.

Looks like Tonda’s had enough as Fellows is warming up.

 I know but he can still fuck off

Can play both, that’s why he was brought in.

True but he's only ever played right back at senior level and we presumably loaned him in based on those performances.

Get him off before sent off. Hope he’s better at CB because he’s appalling at RB.

I read that he's actually started more senior games at RB than at CB. Perhaps someone could confirm that?

[SNSUN]

This isn't a great watch so far. 

[DrSuess1979]

Another card happy ref excellent 🤦

[Britannia]

Stephens has played FB before?  Swap Abbot and Stephens?

I’d say 25 minutes into his debut, away from home in not his favourite position, is probably a little early to be saying that.

We’ve had our fair share of willing runners (that are otherwise shite).

Not on the evidence so far he can't. 

A lot of managers have said Stephens can play LB, doesn't mean he is one.

This sounds poor.

Edozie mentioned for the first time on the radio. My tongue in cheek “playing with ten men” joke sounds accurate.

[RedArmy]

The decision to let Robinson go and keep Edozie is baffling. 

[Saint NL]

The press looks quite good today imo

Mane had much longer

Two stupid yellow cards inside half an hour!

Ah but some on here think our subs are as good as our normal starters. 😉

[whelk]

Infuriating when players clearly move to offside position 

[obelisk]

Saints almost in with another long ball.

[Gary R76]

playing the long ball alot
