Either! But yes, at least.

First half on Tuesday was bad, but this is embarrassing. 

Unbelievably inconsistent, surprised we are in top 8 as it is playing ineffective football at back and midfield with 10 min blocks of excellent football. 

[BotleySaint]

We need to stop crossing it in like we've got Larin in there.

Get it down on the floor.

[Saint NL]

Lol this ref 🤣

[BotleySaint]

Clear foul on Matsuki for me.

I thought he was good before last few mins

[die Mannyschaft]

After 34 mins have we really not had any shots? 

[saintant]

One shot and that was off target 🙂

[Sheaf Saint]

How on Earth was that a FK to them? Matsuki was clearly fouled.

[BotleySaint]

Leo very poor. Not sure what's up with him lately. Seems a bit slow and not able to just glide past players now.

[Saint Scott]

Preston will tire second half, they can't keep up this level of pressing

[Lee On Solent Saint]

Have to say, at the moment, they just want it more. Looks like we don't have the stomach for a fight.

[saintant]

If we win this Tonda is a magician.

Tactics all wrong, we see this most games crosses go past lone forward, too high or near front post. Need 2 real forwards.

[washsaint]

Scienza has to be yanked at HT.  ABsolutely woeful performance.  

I'd bring on Bragg for JWP or Downes as the starters have been very poor.

How can Saints be this poor.  Fair play to Preston but this is a shocking performance.

Outside of the box from Azaz. That’s it. 
 

We have been properly shite.

A bad leo is more effective than Fellowes

Exactly! Individually inferior but collectively better than us ....... today.

[John Boy Saint]

Are we just playing with our food like many first halves?

If we win it's luck, like most games last season when we played this way either all 1st or 2nd half.

[RedArmy]

Hopefully Larin is back after the international break because this cannot continue.

Feel like we are playing with ourselves 

[CB Fry]

This is what happens when we can't spy.

Think this one may go cold and be inedible before the end unfortunately.

To think people were saying we are lucky to have him as deserves PL team. Lucky to playing this level based on this seasons’s performances

[SNSUN]

I'm not following the second half. That usually makes us improve. 😎

[Edmonton Saint]

Dobbin total trash as well.

Keep Leo on as he's got creative skill and can score, or more likely too. Azaz can dribble but loses ball most of the time same with Fellows.  

[Cuddles]

PNE are treating this like a cup game and we look completely surprised!!

[tdmickey3]

Dobbin with a donkeys touch, again 

[Saint Matty 76]

Dobbin cannot control a ball. Bounces off his touch so often...

[LGTL]

Awful play from Dobbin. Decent ball into him, controls it 10 yards and gives away a foul. 

[obelisk]

Ball bounces off Dobbin again.

[Osvaldorama]

Is this ref for real? Giving them everything and us nothing

He’s been well below par since late March/early April. 

[SaintBobby]

Not getting any second balls 

[Saint NL]

Scienza needs to finish that

[Edmonton Saint]

Leo certainly misses some good chances 

[RedArmy]

Just now, Saint NL said:

Needs to square it ffs 

[GentleFeast]

Horrid first half performance 

 

(Scienza got to be better infront of goal too!)

May as well put JWP up front 

[BotleySaint]

Just now, Saint NL said:

Yes but he's not that great a finisher to be fair.

[Obstacle1]

For a player of his ability scienzas finishing is horrendous

[obelisk]

Leo does really well ... right up until he has a shot. What has happened to him?

[Saint Fan CaM]

Think it’s more about how how he’s being marked and clattered by teams who have worked him out.

[IOWSaintDaz]

awful display so far, were probably shellshocked by schlotterbecks injury, but we have offered nothing going forward

Hope we can do what we did at West Brom and smash em in the 2nd half

C'mon, help me out. I was trying to get some puns going. They're sponsored by Spud Bros FFS: that's hilarious, there's got to be some material here 

[tdmickey3]

Cant be any worse than this in 2nd half,  can it?
