Aye, right pair o' wee bawbags.

Lots of long hopeful balls

Three passes out in a row from Baz straight to a striped shirt 😁

The irony is, he’ll probably have his best passing statistics to Southampton players now he doesn’t play for us

I think they're quite funny.

 

Favorite repeated quote as a Saints player gets clattered "not much in that".

[tdmickey3]

The right side has barely been used

[Suhari]

This formation is just strange.

[tdmickey3]

Missing Downes and need Jander 

[sockeye]

Have to do better ffs

They were convinced that would have been given as a foul on Baz if Scienza's cross-shot had gone in. Ignoring the fact that he had already completely missed the ball before he and Larin collided 🤦

Ffs ,offside again 

[Saint_clark]

Larins hold up play has all but disappeared the last month or two. Bizarre.

[tdmickey3]

Awful in final 3rd

[Patches O Houlihan]

Are Bolton George Graham’s Arsenal in disguise - super effective offside trap

or do our forwards just need to be  more canny?

[obelisk]

These offsides are dumb.

[sockeye]

Pathetic

[tdmickey3]

Fellows have a look FFS

[Osvaldorama]

Bolton are soooo fucking negative. Not even trying to play football 

[Saint_clark]

Wtf is Larin doing, 10 yards off and still jogging forward...

[Saint_clark]

Dobbin coming on, likely to be for Fellows I'd have thought he's been atrocious. 

[Suhari]

Eh?

Larin injured?

[Britannia]

Given how much Larin seemed to slow down and his reaction at the substitution, there’s an issue.

[Saint_clark]

Larin must have been carrying a knock from the international break.

Maybe that injury he got while away with Canada has affected him more than expected.

Now going off for Dobbin so he's obviously not right.

They said he had a back strain or something, didn't they?

Yep

Explains why he's struggled so much with the physical side of the game since coming back. Needs to be properly rested till he's right, can't afford to break him down completely. 

[obelisk]

Dobbin might be better suited to this game but Bolton have had the better chances.

[adrian lord]

Sounds like the Tondameister needs to sort it out at the break?

[Challenger]

All the hallmarks to be one of " those " games.

[Suhari]

Wondering what challenging question Adam B will ask about that first half set up?

I think you are right but hope you’re wrong!

Yep, nil nil or 0-1

[St. Ciervo]

Baz with the clean sheet so far! To be fair, a potted fern would have the same results with how we are playing. 

[Willo of Whiteley]

Half Time:

Larin injured. Imagine going into a season with one striker.

Fellows on the left simply isn’t working.

Sideways and backwards the theme of the half.

No speed, no pace, no urgency.

Not so much a rocket needed up their backsides at half time, more a ballistic missile.

That was abysmal.

[Lee On Solent Saint]

Need some energy out there.

[Saint_clark]

Stop being so miserable you lot. Jander on for Bragg on 60 whether we're winning or not. 

[saint michael]

Cant watch today. Has Baz really kept a clean sheet?

[obelisk]

Saints losing in the aerial contest stats once again.

[capitalsaint]

We’ll win this 3-0 at least.

[BotleySaint]

It wasn't really working with Larin anyway. Hopefully we can adjust the system and get Dobbin some goals!

[Willo of Whiteley]

Bragg is such a waste of a starting spot.

All round boring.

Had nothing much to save

[Sheaf Saint]

Anyone got any decent stream links? Fawanews is working but the quality is very poor.

Only really the long range effort from Scienza that even he couldn't fail to save.

[Lee On Solent Saint]

Not sure why we are suddenly fucking around with tactics and team shape. Seems like after the Wrexham defeat, we are more worried about the opposition's game than our own.

Only because it's been all us pinging balls into the box.
