Looking at the league table this morning and seeing them on just 5 points the first thought was this is going to be a classic Saints defeat. Inexcusable to lose this one really. Difficult to make up a 4 point deduction and dropping points at places like Preston. There are just too many teams making a run at it this season.

Scienza needs to finish that

Don't know what he was even trying to do there. It's as if he just passed it to the keeper rather than make any kind of attempt to put it past him.

Atrocious first half, possibly worse than West Brom game. But overwhelmed again across the park and passes going missing every time we try to move the ball. 
 

be brave to yank off Leo at half time but he isn’t doing anything at all. Maybe move Dobbin out wide and bring on Mubama?

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

We can kiss goodbye to a serious promotion push without a decent striker to play alongside larin the others aren't good enough

If Mubama is the answer then we are fucked

Considering we've created nothing next to nothing I'm not sure the lack of the striker is that much of an issue.

Do you post something like this every time we concede a goal? 
I agree mate we will be lucky not to get relegated this season

Outrageous first half performance against one of the the worst teams in many years in this league. What the fuck is going on

Another shocking 1st Half 😞 

Looking for any positives to take from that - but there really is nothing!

Scienza very poor

Stephens with yet another calamity which he got away with 

Bree seems to be only looking backwards 

Tactically all wrong - normal predictable boring build up of backwards / sidewards play - all going down wings for crosses into nobody - why!? 
 

So disappointing

We are one dimensional without a proper centre forward up there to go long to or to hold it up.

If Saints could manage to play more than half a game at a time it'd be helpful. As it is they've been dreadful against the so-called "also-ran" teams. We've had a hardly a shot against the team that is bottom and should be grateful to only be one goal behind. There's something wrong with the way they're being set up.

Actually Scienza seems to have forgotten how to pass - two wasted chances when a teammate was free.

He needs a fucking good boot up the arse.  He’s been largely shite all season.

As the commentary put it about 5-6 times in about 5 mins Saints want to score the perfect goal................any goal would be good right now. We seem so lightweight up front and lack power in the shooting department atm.

Noticed that in the first half v QPR.  To be fair, he’s not a target man and needs balls to run on to.

Needs a little spell on the bench. Might wake him up that’s he’s not untouchable.

Utter crap….

What is our plan anybody. They press with five did we think they wouldn’t !!!!

Sienza has been dreadful…. Dobbin gives us nothing … 

Can you take Sienza aside in training and get him practicing shooting until he can do it!!!

At the game. That was worse than the first half against WBA, we wilt when it gets remotely physical.  This is effectively top against the bottom, and you really wouldn't think that we were anywhere near the top.  Need a massive improvement in the second half to get anything out of this (I don't think that's gonna happen). Lose this and it will be a massive now to any real promotion aspirations we may have. Crap first half, big 45 coming up.

We are not at the  races. No urgency or physicalitty. They have one game plan, which is 'hassle' and we have no answer. Leo very poor and seems afraid of the big boys in the playground.

Dispiritingly poor. Such bad recruitment to rely on someone as poor as Dobbin in the absence of Larin. Gutless. Hope Eckert lays into them at half time.

Losing to cloggers.

If we lose this, we’ve only gained a point out of these three games in the grand scheme of things.  That’s how screwed we are with the points deduction.

At least they're unhappy with the performances and looking to improve. I'd be more worried if they were satisfied with the performances.

Don’t know why Fellows is suddenly completely out of the picture, sure he’d have done a bit more out there than some of these performances. At least can beat players and put some good crosses in

I don’t think it's anywhere near as bad as the WBA game.

Second game running our central midfield aren’t getting control of the game defensively, far too easy to play through. Dobbin has offered nothing & Leo has been pretty average. This is unacceptable, especially after the woeful first half Tuesday. 
 

Too many flat track bullies, looking good when the going is good at our lovely home pitch, but don’t want to know when we need to get down amongst the much and bullets. 
 

They’ll run out of gas and we’ll probably pick up enough to pinch it, but that will only gloss over the fundamental issue, we let sides out battle and out work us for periods of games, and that’s fucking disgraceful.

I’d say he’s been one of our least effective signings in recent years.

No Larin No party

Actually our overall form has been better since he's been out of the side.

PPG with Larin - 1.89 (P9 W5 D2 L2)
PPG without Larin - 2.2 (P5 W3 D2 L0)
